MAGIC MEAL CHEST.
How a Humble Piece Of Pantry Fur
niture Became Bewitched Under
Strange Circumstances.

It was in the latter part Of the sew
enteenth century that the meal chest
which has always been in the Spofford
family and now owned by Mrs. Grin
Spofford, Of Georgetown, Mass. be-
came bewitched under the most pecu-
liar circumstances.
The meal chest Is an ordinary one
and was kept in the attic of Mr.. Moody
Spofford's house at Rowley Hill, filled
with meal which was used in the fam

ployed in the family, was Of good. re-
spectacle family and lived In the town.
the only thing known against her being
the information obtained from the chill
dren that she had been trying to coax
fortune through experiments praeticed
by the old-time superstitions.
The statement Of the proceedings has
been extracted from written account
of DR.. jeremiah Spofford. who was
asked to prepare 1t. and which was

afternoon. while Hannah sat in one Of
the chambers quietly spinning. that
she became annoyed by strange sounds.
which seemed to come rom the side Of
the house, and for which she was I'M
able to account. They seemed to be
from the sides OF the walls, and re-
sponded to each and every pound OF
her fist on the laths.
She became so frightened that 1t
last Moody Spofford. who was passing
the house was called in. and he in turn
was amazed at the sounds. He care
fully examined the walls. striking them
with a hammer to see whence came the
sounds. but finding no loose lath, was
perplexed all the more, as every blow
which he gave was followed with an
other Of equal sound. The jar Of the
spinning wheel was incapable to pro-
duce the noise. and. at last. unable to
fathom the mystery he gave it up and
left for his home.
He had, however, not been long
home before he was for the second
time called to the house. but again was

the time Of the witchcraft excitement.

death would have been small. but as It

The district Of Giddings, Garfield and
Ezra Taylor, proud of its memorable
past, has approved Gen. Dicks congress
sional service by repeating reelection,
and unanimously urged upon all Ohio re-
publicans that the closest political as
sociate Of Mckinley and Hanna was the
most fitting successor for the latter In
the United States senate. In 1900 he
served where Mckinley wanted him.
and last year, to help Hanna, he COM
piled with the latter's request not to
contest with Herrick for the guber-
material nomination, and then con-
Quoted for Hanna and Herrick the most
successful campaign Ohio ever had.
Such services and sacrifices for the re-
publican party have made him friends
In every county.
Not only has he been closest to Nc
Kinley and Hanna In al party politics.
r his public service has steadily
hgthened Gen. Dicks capacity for
congressional duties. Few members of
the house Of his years have greater in
iluence there. Elected major general
OF Ohio national guard upon its reor-
ganixatfon. after the Spanish war, and
also by his comrades, president CT the
National Association of national guard
onlcefs, he succeeded In securing from
congress the FIRST complete militia law.
