DROUGHT IN MAINE.
HAS CAUSED AN UNSIGHTLY
BEAST TO APPEAR.
IJnncor's "What I It" Sotno Bay ( ho
Pryncas Is Ito iionalblo for the Ap
pearance of tlio So-Culled rlchercl
lie * 11.
All Maine has suffered from a
drouth this year for which the pro
hibitory liquor law Is In no way re
sponsible. All the rain that has fall
en since last spring , If put together In
one storm , would not equal one of the
heavy falls that \isually are experi
enced In Maine In spring and fall , and ,
although the summer brought many
violent thunderstorms , there was little
rain. Now , when the rivers , lakes and
wells should bo full to the brim , every
water course In the state Is running
remarkably low , the beds of the
streams showing bare , like- gravelly
roads , and the lakes shrunken away
from their shoes as though they had
leaked through a hole In the center ,
leaving the pebbly beaches far above
water , with wide margins of muddy
bottom lands , from which arises n
powerful stench , says Now York
Press.
A remarkable effect of the drouth
Is seen In the brook which connects
Eddlngton and Holbrook's ponds , a
few miles cast of Bangor. In ordinary
times this brook runs high , and Is a
noisy little stream , filled with the best
and plumpest pickerel , the fattest
muskrats and the biggest frogs to be
found In all Maine. Now the two ponds
have shrunk to half their natural area
and the brook la reduced to a sickly
rivulet , at best , and In some places
Is nothing more than a serlesof discon
nected and muddy pools , wherein thou
sands of big pickerel have been Im
prisoned helplessly , there to be dipped
out by poachers , wnllo at night the
muskrats splash and flounder like
stranded walruses and the once big
frogs wall plaintively on the slimy
borders.
A week ago , whllo tramping along
the brook , swearing at the luck , and
praying for rain , Uncle Reuben Dlx ,
the hermit fiddler of Peaked mountain ,
saw something struggling In the mud
that attracted his attention. It was
not a frog nor yet a muskrat ; It was
something like a fish , and yet It had
legs. If Uncle Reuben had been drinkIng -
Ing anything that day or the night
before , ho would have decided that
the stuff wasn't first-class , but none
of the Danger sportsmen had been out
that way for some time , and there
wasn't even a drink of elder within ten
miles , so It was a case of straight
seeing , and Uncle Reuben Investigated.
He got a crooked stick and hauled the
thing out of the mud. The creature
resented this , and snapped viciously at
his captor , who had to dance about
lively to keep out of Its way.
"Well , I'm dummed ! " said Uncle
Reuben , "butI didn't think allergaters
ever got this fur to the north-ard. "
Finally he killed the creature with a
stone , and lugged the carcass over to
Eddington , where , after being viewed
by all the curious , It was sold for. fifty
cents to George McMunn , a Danger
drummer , who has a fad for collecting
curious reptiles , birds , etc. , and by him
given to his friend , P. II. McNamara
of Bangor , who will have it stuffed and
placed on exhibition In his place of
business. The beast looks something
like an alligator and something-like a
big lizard , and no one In Bangor can
name It. It has teeth like a saw and
a mouth large enough to hold a loaf
of bread , as Joe Jameson , the baker ,
demonstrated by experiment. Uncle
Reuben said It was the pickerel devil ,
a poisonous reptile , which often has
been told of , but seldom If ever seen In
Maine. The devil is said to be the
direct product of a drouth , and his ap
pearance means that all the pickerel
are to die , or have died , for want of
water.
Up to the time of the drouth the
fishing In Eddlngton and Holbrook's
ponds was excellent. Now there hasn't
been as much as a blto In either pond
for four weeks. Some say that the
pickerel have left the brook and gone
to the bottom of the ponds , where they
find the water cooler than at the sur
face , and that they will not bite again
till winter. Uncle Dlx , however , main
tains that all the fish are dead , else the
pickerel devil would not have been
born.
Ilnrd on the Irish Maulers.
The Irish masters of hounds are be
ginning to feel the pinch of war times
as well as others. Some yeara ago the
system of registering horses for gov
ernment purposes was started and
many people laughed at it as a useless
scheme , but now It Is found to work
well. Under It , the owners of horses
registered receive a small sum per an
num , undertaking to sell each animal
at a certain price when called upon to
do so. Many of the large tramway ,
omnibus , and others have numbers of
horses so registered , and It appears
that masters of hounds have also
taken advantage of the scheme , receiv
ing an allowance .annually for the
hunt homes. The Remount Depart
ment of Ireland , of which Prince
Francis of Tock Is chief , nre busy tak
ing up all available registered horses
now for South Africa , and the hunt
horses of the Ward Stag-hounds , the
Meath Hounds , the Tlpperary , and oth
er packs have all been requisitioned.
It Is rather hard on the mastera to
have to give up the hunt horses just
as the season is opening , as it will bo
very hard to replace them now. The
average price fixed on all horses so
registered Is about 40.
