Show Story of a Moving Pumpkin. A pumpkin was seen to walk across the field by Mrs. Samuel H. Hight of Skowegan recently. When she saw-it saw-it she thought her eyes were deceiving deceiv-ing her, but she soon perceived that the pumpkin moved a little way, stopped and then turned in another direction. She watched this object for ; some time and told one of her neighbors. neigh-bors. The mystery was solved, but the two women did not dare to go nearer the moving vegetable, but called a man who knocked the pumpkin pump-kin over and found a polecat. The skunk had crawled under the pumpkin and stuck his head into a hole in it and was unable to extricate himself j from it and had walked off as best he could with the pumpkin on his back.
