Hedgehogs are said to be causing
lots of trouble for Bangor automo-
bilists, who are fond of the wooded
highways a score of miles from the
city. In the evening these sp1ny,
| Dristling animals are often found in
the roads, and, fascinated by the
glare of the head lamps of the motor
cars, refuse to bulge from the track,
with the result that they are often
run over. The danger lies in the
sharp quilts which pierce the tires,
| making Il puncture which cripples the
car and is hard to mend.
| A Portland man noticed an amusing
procession on Congress street in that
city Il few days ago. A hack con-
tanning four persons, who might have
| ocen a wedding party, was followed
| by long wagon loaded with palms,
| ferns and other things used in decor
ating. Close behind this came anoth-
er wagon, the old horse that was
| drawing it having his nose right in
among the greens, and in the third
vehicle was something that looked like
a patent clotheswasher together
with one or to other household eff
| fects. 1t was rather funny coinci-
| dcncc that these three teams should
| fail into line in this manner and it
| caused a good many people to smile.
