Very Wicked Maine Citizen.


Very Wicked Maine Citizen.
Colonel Joe Peaks. of Dover, tells a
good story about an incident that en-
livened his early law practice. John
Fuller was once sheriff in Penobscot
county. Afterward he was colonel of
the Sixth Maine, and be was first in
the ranks Of the great unterrihed all
the way through.
One day in the epoch when Fuller
was sheriff a writ of replevin was
placed in his hands. 1t was 10 be
served upon the Tuffs-that's as good
a name as any. Now the Tufts lived
away out in a lonely district, and they
were wicked citizens from the word go.
This writ of replevin was called out
by a horse trade in which the Tufts had
robbed a man of a good beast under
pretense of trading. Fuller was ex-
pected TO go over to the Tufts strong
hold and bring away that horse.
Colonel Peaks was a young lawyer
IN those days and he was not surprised
when Fuller drove around and asked
for his company upon a short business
trip. After they had gone a short dis
lance Peaks asked:
Where are you going, FullerF'
over TO old Tufts. Going to re-
plevin a horse"

IL was not encouraging. but there
was no backing out When they drove
into the Tufts dooryard a supernatural
hush brooded yer everything. House

in sight. Said Fuller:
Now, Joe, turn the horse around
and be ready to start on short notice
when ! come out Of the stable. ex-
pect To have to hurry this thing Just a
little"
The sheriff jumped over the wheel
and made for the barn. He managed
10 get the door open and disappeared.
In a moment there came the tramping
of a horse and Fuller appeared at the
tieup door leading the animal. At the
same moment, too, a brawny Turf came
bursting through the kitchen door and
ran %savagely toward the sheriff.

EngIi.h MONARCHY ON Il. Good nehavlor.

English Monarchy On Its Good behavior.
The monarchy is accepted by the
vast majority of Englishmen without
any strong enthusiasm for it, but with
out any desire to put an end to it. The
onward march of democracy will sweep
away the house Of lords and the estab-
lished church il will concentrate power
even more than is now the case in the
house of commons; while. by the pay
ment Of the members of that house. it
will convert it from an assembly of plu-
tocrats into IN more directly in har-
mony with the people.
But the monarchy is likely TO survive
these changes. Its abolition is not
within the area of practical politics. nor
will il be so long as those who have nc
heart its continuance are wise in their
generation. The monarchy has de
voted adherents among the upper
classes on account OF its social aspect
the middle classes like it because thcy
have a notion that it is respectable:
the artisans and the agricultural labor
ers have grievances that touch them
more closely, and a change from a
monarchy to a republic would NOT SO
directly benefit them as the removal
Of these grievances.
At radical gatherings. while ! have
never observed any ardent desire 10
sing God Save the Queen, / have
heard any desire expressed TO
substitute a reDublic for our prasaut
system. Were a parliamentary clndi-
date 10 address an electoral meeting
on the advantages Of a republic. he
would be deemed a filter at n windmill.
and he would be requested 10 favor his
hearers with his views upon more prac-
teal and more immediate issues.
