THE PRESS.
WEDNESDAY. JANUARY IS.
FROM PORTLAND TO YARMOUTH.


We publish in another column the pc
tition of large number OF Portland
business men for charter for an electric
railroad from this city to Yarmouth.
That such road as is proposed would
be of much benefit to Portland goes
without saying. Anything that tends to
to facilitate travel between the city and
the surrounding towns will obviously
tend to increase the custom of our whole
sale and retail merchants, as well as be a
great accommodation to the people of
the neighborhood. 1t is contended by
the promoters of this road that it cannot
be properly organize ! under the general
law, according to the suggestion OF Gov.
Cleaves, but must have pecial legisla-
ton. This being the case there would
seem to be no valid objection to granting
a charter properly guarded, SO as not to
interfere more than is necessary with
private rights, and to afford no more
rights to the corporation than are need
ed to enable it to prosecute its business.
The charter should, also, in accordance
with the suggestion of Governor Cleaves
in his inaugural address, be limited to
two years unless work is begun under it
in that time, so that if this company, for
any reason, should fail to prosecute the
work, the charter should not prove an
obstruction to other enterprising citizens
who might be W ling to undertake it.

this is that the Commission has not ex-
ceeded any appropriations, because the
money and material used in excess of the
$4,000 has been obtained by outside
subscriptions.
The matter is now before the Judiciary
committee and hearing will be had to-
day. Whether any opposition will be
developed or not we cannot now say, but
will be well for our legislature to con-
slider the fact that Maine will not soon
again have the opportunity to display

FORREST CITY, ARK. FRIDAY AFTERNOON MAY 12, 1893.

Nervously lingering the medal on his breast, the old soldier wheeled about and marched proudly straight down the middle of the village street to his lonely cabin.
 The villagers never saw him in life again. Next day he did not appear. All refrained from intruding on his mourning. But in the evening. when the rector heard of his parishioner's loss. he walked to old Johns home
 There. stretched upon his straw bed, he lay in his antique regimentals, stiller than at attention, all his medals fastened below that of Waterloo above his quiet heart.
 His right hand lay on an open Bible. His face wore an expression of looking forever and ever upon Sergt- Locke and the Great Commander who takes back unto Him the heroes He fashions to sweeten the world. Toronto Mail

Her Conclusion.

The youth of thirty summers was talking to the girl of twenty about his teeth.
 Just think of it. he said, I'm cut ting wisdom tooth in my upper jaw.
 People don't have wisdom teeth in the upper jaw" she contended.
 But I'm cutting one he insisted.
 'Pshaw." she said, as women argue. that isn't wisdom tooth, that's just an ordinary intelligence tooth, and the young man refused to continue the discussion. n.-Detroit Free Press.

She Got Out Backwards.

An old lady travelling on the under ground and finding that the train was approaching station addressed her self to man sitting in the farther cor ner of the compartment, her only fcl- low passenger, and said:
 Would you tell me, sir, what is the next station?'
 'Bayswater, madam" was the cour- teous reply.
 Then would you mind, sir. when we arrive, opening the door and helping me to get out?'
 With pleasure" was the cordial as- sent.
 You sec" the old lady went on to ex- plain, II am well on in years, and have to get out slowly, and backwards; and when the porter sees me getting out he shouts: Look alive, ma am" and gives me push in from behind-and I've been round the circle twice already. '- Land and Water.

 A woman was seated at the corner of Woodward avenue and one of the cross streets, busily engaged in turning tho crank of music box. tin cup with out penny in it reposed on top of the instrument. The woman turned tho handle slowly, looking dumb and wretched in her old shawl and hood.
 .'Ta-ra-ra Boom-de-ay" rung out drearily while two men and boy passed. Then the tune changed to an opera air and dude passing Tipped a coin into the tin cup.
 The woman looked inert and sleepy. but she reached over with one hand and possessed herself of the coin.

 Far, far away

 A woman and little girl stopped to drop penny i'll the cup. The woman rolled up her eyes and looked heart broken. Then the organ struck up:
 Down went McGinty to the bottom of the sea-"
 At that moment small, tOlefaOy well-dressed man stopped on the cor ncr. He did not notice the woman, nor she him. He leaned his back against the tree and looked up the av- enue with no speculation in his eyes.
 she's my sweetheart, I'm her Joe," warbled the organ. Then the man leaning against the tree said: Come home now, Annie Rooney"
 There's a man coming that likes this" said the woman, and the organ changed it's key:

Much Ado over Little Omce.

Many amusing things occur in the an- nual town meetings in the smaller towns of New England, but the scrarn- ble for minor offices sometimes results in bitter hostilities. At the last town meeting in a small town in Rocking ham county, in New Hampshire, the chief contest of the day was for the of flee of hearse driver. There were two candidates for the office. the friends of each of whom made a canvass of the town for two weeks before, and tho successful candidate won by just ons vote. The most amusing part of ths thing is that in the town there is an average of but six deaths year. and the hearse drivers pay is fixed at ona dollar per funeral. The two candidates do not speak to each other now.-Bos- ton Journal
