When Ephraham lived on his farm in So. Otisfield, Me., he was awakened one night by the violent blowing of the wind, and a little later became aware that the large doors on his barn had blown open. Fearing that the roof of the barn might blow off, he got out of bed, and started out to close the barn doors, clad in nothing but his night shirt.
Ephraham was a small, spare man, addicted to profane language, when mentally disturbed. Naturally enough he was not in the best of spirits under these conditions. Everything was well, until he passed around the corner of the barn, where he was particularly exposed to the power of the gale. An unusually strong blast nearly raised him off his feet and swept him across the yard wholly out of his course. As he was forced to go against his will, he, no doubt, felt that some unseen one was taking advantage of him. He struggled to keep his feet under him, at the same time warning the unseen "Take, take care, G--d-- you, take, take care G--d-- you."
