How the woodchuck Took Water.

One OF the best story tellers of his
time was my uncle, Han" Thompson
of Auburn, Me. The following is what
Han" told of what he and his brother
John tried to do in the way of catch
ing a woodchuck.
They had tried quite a number of
times to capture the animal but unsuc-
cessfully. At last they decided to
drown him out. So, procuring four
pals, each took two and they carried
water for two solid hours and poured
It into the hole in the ground in which
the said chuck had taken up his
abode
Getting tired, they sat down. After
about half an hour the woodchuck eau
tiously left the hole and deliberately
walked down to the brook and took a
long drink OF water, and then scooted,
much tothe disgust OF the two boys

the incentive to disorder at funerals,
which were in progress almost the
whole day, but the atmosphere is
