II would be impossible to estimate how
many fires have been caused even in the
good State of Maine, through the careless
ness of tramps; and yet there have been
some people who have endeavofed to ques-
ton the propriety Of the wise laws which
the Legislature of Maine has established
for the suppression Of these nuisances.
Those laws are not only on the statute
books, but they merit, and should receive,
4 vigorous enforcement.
What with the new buildings already pro-
posed Squirrel Island will be even more at
tractive than before the fire.

constitutes "horse sense" and says: George

his teeth, draws a foaming bumper and help'
