THE WITCH'S CURSE. A GLOOMY OLD LEGEND OF THE TOWN OF BUCKSPORT, ME, Tm IwrcatleMa rrT tfew Cadrmir4 Woamaai tk Dl CL. Dack's TaakilMK Clone by the country road on the out skirts of the sleepy old aeaport town of Backspcrt. on the Fcnobeeot. down In Maine. Is s small family cmetery. Within the Indosure. with its high iron fence, in the qnlet and almost gloomy shade, slsrp the Backs, the blneblooded and aristocratic clan which first settled the town and bequeathed it their name ' and a legend. Of the many mosa grown tablet and monuments the largest and most con spicuous is a tall granite shaft in plain sight of the highway. On one side is the inscription r OOU JOHN BTOC : " Tb Tmnr cf Eocaapart. " : : m. zx ntt : : Bern la XXavcrMU. Slut X7VL Z j DUxl March IS. " 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 a curious outline, irregular and describ ing that which can easily be imagined to be the form of a foot of normal size. Some people say that it is a foot, but tbcee are of the superstitious town folk who belirre the legend which has been choice stock in Buck? port for many year. . They that delight In perpetuating this etory fay that Colonel Jonathan Back was a rery stern and harsh man and the leading spirit cf his day and generation. His word was law in the commnnity. He was the highest In civil authority and his decision as immova ble as the granite hills that loom np in the haze of the northern horizon. He was most Puritanical, and to him witchcraft was the incarnation of blas phemy. Thus, so the story goes, when a certain woman was accused of witch craft, at the first clamoringsof the pop ulace Colonel Back ordered her to be imprisoned, and later, after a mere form of a hearing, she was sentenced to be executed as a witch. She pleaded to Buck for her life, but as to a heart of stone. The day cf the execution came and Abe condemned woman went to the gal lows cursing her judge with such terri ble Imprecations that the peoplo shud dered, but the magistrate stood unmov ed and made a sign to the officers to hasten the arrangements. All was ready and the hangman was about to perform his grewsorae doty when the woman turned to Colonel Back and raising one hand to heaven as if to direct her last words on earth pronounced this astound ing prophecy: Jonathan Back, listen to these wctds. the last my tongue shall utter. It Is the spirit cf the only true and liv ing Ood which bid me speak them to you. You will soon die. Over your grave they will erect a stoned that all may know where your bonce are crum bling into dust Bat listen! Upon that stone-the Imprint of my feet will ap pear, and for all time, long after your accursed race has perished from the face of the earth, will the people from far and near know that you murdered a woman. Remember well, Jonathan Bock, remember welll" Then she turned to her executioners and another act, one of the forever in eZaceailo blots, was made a part cf American colonial history. The witchs curse," as it was call ed. anoS is to this day, was almost for gotten until many years afterward, when the monument was erected to the mem ory of Bucksport'a founder. It had been In position hardly a month when a faint outline was discovered upon it. ' This gradually grew more and more distinct until some one made the startling dis covery that it was the outline ,of a foot which some supernatural draftsman had traced on the granite. The old leg end was revived and the Back ceme tery was for years the Mecca of the su perstitious and curious for miles around. The witch's curso" had been ful filled, they said. An attempt was made to remove the stain, but all eiforta tend ed only to bring the outline out in bold er relief. The stain or whatever it was seemed to penetrate to the very center cf the stone. . . The hinges cf the big gate have creaked for the last time to admit a Back. The last of the race has been laid to rest beneath the oaks and ma ples, and the setting tun throws the shadow cf the once mighty Colonel Jonathan Back's monument athwart the double row cf mossy mounds, as if till exerting his authority, and the same raja light that mysterious tracing held op to the view cf all that pass and rep&ss along the dusty turnpike. The Imprint of the foot is a fact, and is there today as plain as ever. The legend of the "witch's curse" may or may not be a fact The fanciful defend the legend, but the practical roint out the apparent discrepancy between the dates cf the era of witchcraft persecu tion and the regime of Colonel Buck. Tfeey say that the stain is simply an accidental fault in the granite, and that the legend was made to fit the foot and not the foot the legend. But the foot Is there. Philadelphia Inquirer.

On the police interpretation two men who talked incidentally about their business relations on Sunday morning on their way to church might be arrest ed as violators of the law,, which would be palpably tyrannical and absurd.

But her happy anticipation quickly van ishes when she realizes the terrible pain and suffering through which she must pass while bringing the little one into the world.

The Astute, When Once Aeal Is Eitremclf DllUenlt to Control, nnd to Indnlice It Menn n Short Cut to the Crnre. Every great discovery in the world's history has brought with it an accom panying affliction, and it remained for the Klondike to develop a peculiar mania that threatens to outrival opium eating. Among the residents of the far north it is known as the "snow habit," and it is said to be incurable. A returned Klondiker tells the strange story. There are many strange things in the Klondike," said the narrator, "but perhaps the strangest and that about which nothing has been written so far, is the dissipation caused by eating snow. In the north, when the -thermometer reaches SO to 40 degrees below zero, a mouthful of 6now is Like molten metaL It brings an inflammation to the palate and tongue and it is impossible to quench the thirst The first advice an old timer offers a newcomer in the region is 'Don't eat snow. There are men in that country, once hearty, ro bust miners, now weak, effeminate crea tures, whose fall can be traced directly to the time they began munching snow. "The matter has been but little in vestigated, but the scientists who have examined the subject say that the wa ters cf the north are rich with mineral deposits which are being constantly washcddown from the mountains. A certain per cent of this mineral is taken into the air when vapor rises, and the snow becomes impregnated with it. Thero have been several falls of red snow near Point Barrow, the deposit being of a reddish brown color, due en tirely to minerals. Thus it can be seen that a person eating large quantities of the snow takes into his system a corre sponding amount of minerals." While coming down the Copper river last spring the narrator came upon a party of miners where one was dying from tho effects of eating snow. He had been a hard drinker, but had run short of whisky. His thirst became unendur able and as water was scarce in mid winter he had taken to eating snow. Soon he claimed it relieved his appetite for the liquor, but his companions no ticed that his appetite for the snow in creasednntil he was consuming enor mous, quantities. Gradnally his skin, which was a dark bronze, grew light, his rugged stature became bent, and even his harsh voice changed to the effeminate squeak of an old woman. His strength gave way. and his com panions tried to break him of the habit He would lie on his pallet and moan pitifully for a mouthful of 'snow and when opportunity offered would steal unobserved to the" doorway and gulp down huge handfuls. At last, seeing death was inevitable, his companions allowed him the snow, hoping to pro long his life. It proved unavailing, however, and one morning the man was found dead. There are some spots on the Copper river where the enow, when melted and strained through a cloth, shows percep tible signs of minerals, and often gold is found plentifully intermixed, but of course not in payingquantities. Where this comes from .is a mystery, but it may be brought from the far north by the heavy winter gales that sweep over this part of the country. It. has been said that if the snow could be melted away it would leave deposits of millions of dollars in gold dust on the ground. The narrator had a close call himself from falling a victim to the snow habit "It was in the winter of 1896-7," he said, "and I was new to the country. An old miner near Dawson had warned me against eating snow, but I, with my partner, had gone back into the hills on a prospecting tour and had got caught in a blizzard. - We were shy of pro visions and on our way up lost the package containing our cooking uten sils. This we remedied by broiling our cooked foods, but we had nothing in which to melt the snow. It is claimed that melted snow is harmless, as the metallic deposits it contains sink to the bottom of the receptacle. "We decided to try it 'raw,' and we did. Whether it was the food or the snow I don't know, but during the week .we waited for a chance to get out we had an ever increasing thirst, until, when we were finally able to stride the trail, we were consuming snow at a frightful rate.- When we reached our companions , wo attempted to assuage our thirst with water, but it did no good. We had acquired a taste for the frozen water, and it seemed to have in vigorating qualities. At night we could not sleep unless we took our snow. "We were fast approaching the de generate stage when I reached a realiz ing sense of our condition and under took to break off. I began by degrees and worked down, but up to the very moment I left the country the sight of the now always raised in me an inor dinate craving. It cost me many sleep less nights and Weary days to restrain myself. Had I given way to the habit I would, like many another poor fellow, have lost all ambition and filled an un known grave in that frozen wilderness. " Cleveland Plain Dealer. . ' , t , Dynamite.. , .

X In Extremist - Late one night a clergyman was called out to minister to an old man a worker upon the adjacent railway who was supposed to be dying- The sum mons was brought by another old man. the elder brother of the stricken one. While he was bustling about, making preparations for departure, the. clergy man forgot momentarily the social status of his visitor and asked.'

The Arab who has angered a camel will throw his clothes upon the ground, and the infuriated beast, after stamp ing on them and tearing them asunder with his teeth, goes on his way, and the driver is thereafter quite safe, as it seems to be an " axiom with the camel that no man shall be put in peril of life twice for one offense. The camel is stupid, save when angry, and then seems to become almost pre ternatural in carrying out its vengeful designs. Palgrave relates the following story of a camel's revenge, which serves to illustrate this point: "A lad of 14 had conducted aJarge camel laden with wood from one village to another at a half hour's distance. As the animal loitered or turned out of the way its conductor., struck it repeatedly and harder than it seemed to have thought he had a right to da But not finding the occasion favorable for taking imme diate quits it 'bode its time.' That time was not long in coming. "A few days later the same lad had to reconduct the beast, but unladen, to his own village. When they were about half way on the road and at some dis tance from any habitation, the camel suddenly stopped, looked deliberately round in every direction to assure it self that no one was in sight and. find ing the road clear of passersby, made a step forward, seized the unlucky boy's head in its monstrous mouth, and, lif t ing him up in the air, flung him down again on the earth with the upper part of his skull completely torn off. "Having thus satisfied his revenge, the brute quietly resumed its pace to ward the village, as though nothing were the matter, till some men, who had observed the whole, though unfor tunately at too great a distance to be able to afford timely help, came up and killed . it 'London Telegraph. NOT THE ONLY ONE. Spencer In Thnt Loenllty Were na Thick na Blackberries. A half yearly meeting of the directors who manage the Northampton private asylum had just broken up, and Lord Spencer, a member of that body, desir ing to reach Althorp Park somewhat more quickly than customarily, deter mined to return home by a route which intersects the grounds of the asylum and which i3 rarely used saveas a sum mer parade for the unfortunate lunatics. Arrived at the gate which separates the asylum from the outer world, Lord Spencer, much to his annoyance and disgust, found it securely locked. A keeper, however, happening to come in sight just at that moment Lord Spencer lost no time in explaining to him the nature of his wishes. The man surlily replied that his or ders were to the effect that no one should pass through that- gate except due notice were given to him to the contrary by the authorities, and that, being a married man with a wife and ; a large family, he failed to understand what special advantage was to be gain ed by transgressing the rules and thus placing his situation in jeopardy. Ob serving that the fellow was growing ob durate, Lord Spencer thought it best to reveal his name and rank, imagining that a knowledge of the same would re call the man to his senses. Nothing of the sort happened, however.. The stolid features of the keeper sim ply relaxed into a broad grin, and as he turned to depart he gently explained that Lord Spencers in that particular locality were as plentiful as blackber ries in the autumn time. Explanations and expostulations were useless, the dis comfited earl being forced to return the way he had come. Wit and Wisdom. ! Too Much of It. A high army officer whose fad was ventilation was one day making an in spection of a frontier post which was much in need of repair. In some places . the roof showed the blue sky overhead and the walls were ornamented with gaps. t The brigadier general was escorted through the building by the colonel in charge, a sergeant going on before, as is the custom, to warn the men to stand at attention in honor of the general. As they proceeded the general asked: "And how is the ventilation, colo nel?" , Before the colonel could reply the old sergeant with a familiarity born of long service, said: Sure, general, and the ventilation is bad, Borr, Terra bad, sorr.
