Kelley Institute, North Conway, N. H.
Since the above was received, MIR. Day
has visited the Sentinel, and we are happy
to say that he is a completely changed
man. He speaks very enthusiastically of
his experience at North Conway and the
Kelley treatment for the liquor habit, and
feels that he can now face the world with
new courage and hope and fill the position
in society that we know him to be capable
| of.

Justice Peters wa- holding court in ArOos-
took county, and German Jew ap-
peared before him for naturalization and
admission as an American citizen. The
applicant was by occupation Q clothing
dealer. and his two witnesses, who were
of the same nationality as himself and
naturalized citizens, were pack peddlers
in his employ. The witnesses both spoke
broken English with considerable difficulty
After the applicant had been asked the
usual questions, the chief justice turned to
the two witnesses and asked them sever
al questions about the applicant, all OF
which they very promptly and in concer,
answered Yes. SIR" Finally the chief,
with twinkle in his eye, Strengthened uI
in his judicial chair and inquired concern
ing the applicant, as follows: Gentlemen
can he correctly interpret the constitution
Of the United States?" And with great
promptness and in unison the two witness
es answered "Yes SIR" well, I an

chief. "Mr. Clerk, let the man bs admit
