Erroneous Ideas of propriety are some
times shown In the >o-called cards often
published IN our Maine newspapers, pub
licly expressing thanks for private favors,
such a. gifts kindnesses during bereave-
ment. etc. The proper form is to write a
personal note to each person to whom
those wishing to express gratitude, may
be indebted. We admire the judgment of a

He never succeeded IN obtaining q

The bill which he introduced in 1875
WAS reported adversely on the ground
that the government was not liable.
This ended the Democratic effort TO
obtain payment Of the border claims
In 1889 the Republicans took
hand at it. The act Of April IL of
that year, creating q commission to
advance tho claims, WAS passed and
Governor Beaver appointed the com
missioners. A bill WAS drawn by
