and mind, making pleasure seeking my chief
employment. Boating among the islands of
beautiful Casco Bay fishing excursions
there rides to the sea-coast and like jaunts
constituted the pleasant routine of my Port
land experiences. l came here with my
family last Monday and have proven myself
a very devoted disciple, if not an apt scholar,
Of Isaac Walton during my stay hereabout.
I have made successful explorations in
Pemissiwassie Lake and been rewarded
with big strings Of pickerel have cast
my fly for speckled trout in Abbott Pond
and Twenty Mile River have tested the
speed and endurance of Maine horse. have
been treated to Maine hard cider and en-

people. Who would write letters in such

seasons the Maine woodsman shoots that
noblest of the deer kind, the great Moose.
I should remain here not less than a year
If could be assured that by SO doing /
could bag a specimen of these giants of the
forest.
The climate hereabout reminds me of that
of Lake Valley. The heat of the day is not
more oppressive than there and the nights
are as favorable to sleep as one finds at the
Glenbrook. We look out upon beautiful
meadows, vigorous old orchards, wide fields
Of luxuriant grass and magnificent avenues
Of that king of all shade trees, the New
England elm. Indeed, this branch of the

friends are not here to share our enjoy
mens, and but too conscious OF the fact
that this country is too far away from the
sage brush to be entirely desirable as place
of permanent abode. The natives, how

of sojourn in the Great Basin and never
having been brought to an appreciation of
the beatitudes of CROSSWORD and alkali are
as happy and conten,ed as such deluded
people can be expected to be.

outstanding. Indeed tina: movement is
simply an ebullition of soreheadism, quite
as ridiculous and contemplate as the Fay
Nickerson fasco in California. There seems
to be an irrepressille fusion at hand
between young Republicanism (mainly rep
resented BY the G. A. X. which numbers
ever thirty thousand voters in this State)
and young Democracy, Chamberlain's vote
will be quite as much increased by the lat
