MAINE pnosr ON HORSEBACK
Peculiar spoek rhat Has Struck Ter
ror 70 Farmer Folk.

The horseback riding ghost u the
very latest variety that has appeared
ID BowdoInham, and no II . particu.
lar spirit, making visitations only ct
certain times.
The hunters ghost, they call him,
and the big man on the big white
horse who comes galloping down the
Lisbon road on the full O. the moon
right. up~to, the side door OF Sunny Crest
farm strikes terror to the heart OF
the farmer folk as he raps smartly
with his riding whip on. the panels Of
the door. Whenever one appears in
answer to the knock the ghost, 20
they tell the story, wheels round and
disappears at gallop. turning into
the old woods road much used in revo-
lutionary times by the soldiers OF that
stormy period.
Ghost OF the. old Cap'n. they call
him, connecting this horseback riding
spook with q certain 0fiicer Of un.
savory fame who once haunted the
district of Maine. 1t IL on the hunt
ers' moon when the ghost rides
abroad, and nervous people on the
Lisbon road are much disturbed by
this galloping horseman.--Lewiston

Ane,en. u.e. a. sIoodhound..

Ancient Uses Of eloodhounds.
Although the use of bloodhounds
for tracking criminals still survives,
another ancient use Of these dogs
seems to have died out. Bloodhounds
were at one time often called upon
to assist an army in the field, the.
forces with which the earl Of Essex
suppressed the Irish rebellion in the
time Of Elizabeth, for instance. being
accompanied by 800 dogs. In the Scot
fish clan feuds and the wars between
England and Scotland blcodhounds
were regularly employed in tracking
fugitive warriors. and both Wallace
and Bruce were hunted In this man
ner. Wallace IL said TO- have banned
his pursuers by killing follower and
leaving the corpse for the hound to
find, while Bruce adopted the less
cruel plan Of wading some distance
down . stream and ascending q tree
which overhung the water.
