We heard one Of our Celtic fellow Citi-
GERS the other day. charging the burning of the
old Foundry building upon The Maine law.
His reasoning was after this wise Some fcl-
, lows went into the building with their bottle In
n sly pocket, and after the drink came the
smoke. Now, says he il they could have had
the privilege of going into--s shop for
their drinks. they would not have been in the
foundry building. Part Of this is true. but
they might have set -s shop on fire. in
stead of the foundry.
