Certainly replied Mr., Clews.
"-Wwell. while you were about 1t,
w-why didn't you put more hair to

Mr. Clews, who had been invited to
a famous fancy dress ball, met Mr..
Travers and asked for suggestion
as to the character he could best rep

"S-say, Clews,' stammered his
friend, why DIDN'T you sugar coat

suPERsTrTlous PEOPLE BELIEVE
CURSE FULFILLED.
Woman Executed as Witch in Colonial
Days Threatened Her Judge and
is Believed to Have Kept
Her Word,


Close by the road, on the outskirts
OF the old seaport town, of Bucksport.
Me-, on the Penobscot river, is
small family cemetery. Within its in.
closure sleep the Bucks, the blue
blooded folk who first settled the town
and bequeathed it their name and a
legend.
Inc largest and most conspicuous
monument in the cemetery is a tall
granite shaft. On one side is the
inscription: Col. Jonathan Buck. the
founder of Bucksport, A. ID. 1862. Born
In Haverhill, Mass, 171S. Died March
IS, 1896"
On the other side is the single
word Buck" and also something not
wrought by the marble worker. On
the smooth surface of the pedestal is
curious outline, which can be easily
imagined to be a foot of normal size.
The people who say that 1t is foot
believe in the legend which has oft
been told in Bucksport.
The story is that Col. Jonathan
Buck was very harsh man and the
leading spirit in his day and genera
ton. He was an out-and-out Puritan,
and to him witchcraft was the incar-
nation of blasphemy. Thus, SO the
story goes, when certain woman was
accused of witchcraft. at the first
clamorings of the popalace Col Buck
ordered that she be imprisoned, and
later she was sentenced to be exc
cuted as a witch
All was ready, and the hangman
was about to perform his duty, when
the woman turned to Col. Buck, and,
raising one hand toward heaven, she
said:
Jonathan Buck, listen to these
words, the last my tongue shall utter
You will soon die, and over your grave
they will erect stone, that all may
know the spot where your bones lay
and crumble to dust.
Upon that stone the imprint of my
foot shall appear, and for all time,
from the face of the earth, will the
people from far and near know that
you murdered woman"
She then turned TO her exeoutioners,
and another act TRANSFERRED to make
a part of American colonial history.
The witch curse" had been almost
forgotten, until the monument was
erected to the founder of Buckport.
1t had been in position hardly month
when a faint outline was discovered
on It, 1t grew more and more distinct,
until some person made the discov-
cry that 1t was the outline of a foot.
The old legend was revived.
They said that the "witchs curse"
had been fulfilled An attempt was
mace to remove the stain, but every
effort only tended to make 1t palmer
The imprint of the foot is there to-
day, as plain as ever.

Remove Black Grease.

To remove black oil or car grease
saturate the spot with lard and rub
it with the hands until the spot
spreads and makes a larger spot. Use
plenty of lard, and If the grease has
dried in let it soak in the lard until
softened up. Then soap well with
common laundry soap and wash out in
cold water. Do not use warm water
until the black oil is all out. This
will work without fail if directions are
closely followed.
