Nice Compliment for Rockland.
Mr.. Burdette, the funny man of the Bur
liugton Hawkeye, who recently lectured in
Rockland, was more than pleased with his re-
ception in that city, and seems to have been
taken by storm in the genuine hospitality of
his welcome In the published account of his
visit to Maine he says
In these DAYS and in this land of railroads
"A man can never get out Of the reach of ac-
quaintances. Even people who steal some
thing and run away with it, feel that truth.
