sons and daughters Of Maine throughout

of every citizen of the old Pine Tree State.
Maine is not Indifferent to the success
of her sons and daughters who have
founded homes beyond her borders, and
she beholds with pride their achieve1snts
nnd their prominence in shaping the At
fairs and destinies of other states. The
mighty influence and power they have ex'
erted is high and lasting tribute to the
social and educational advantages OF our
state and to its institutions
GOVERNOR CLRAvEs
wherever we have seen the sons of
Maine in the past, whether upon tho
battlefield or in the forum, whether On
raged in the arts and sciences or in tho
busy marts of trade they have always
Lonored their native state. And the fame
and accomplishments Of her daughters are
not circumscribed BY the boundaries Of
our own country, but have gained merited

He Got His Dollar.

A strapping young man sat in the Erie
depot, across the Hudson. the other day,
waiting for his train. He had twelve
scythe- stones in bundle on his right hand,
and a cuckoo clock in Il box on his left.
As he was looking around the waiting
room he gave a su tden start. Then he
started some more. Then he rose up and
walked over to flashily dressed man about
forty years old, whom any one would have
spotted as fakir, and asked
Don't you travel round with Il tooth
powder?'
NO, sir was the sharp reply.
Wasn't you up in Elizabeth last fall z"
mo, sir!"
Yes you was. and I'll bet On it. You
are the same burned fellow, and know
it,
Sir. What does this mean?" demand
ed the other.

"This is outrageous! I'll call police

'Call and be burned to ye, but I'll lick
ye first! You either come down with that
dollar or I'll wallop We till We can't holler!'
Look here!" replied the other in much
milder tones, "you are mistaken. II was
my cousin who was in Elizabeth. He is
dead now"
Then I'll take it out of you"
.He is dead. as / remarked, and rsther
than have any blot resting on his fair es-
cutcheon, will pay you the dollar"
That's all right! don't know any,
thing about 'scutcheons, but I've got TO
have that dollar or pull hair! I've been
