Hiram Maxim's Youth.

When Hiram Maxim, the famous in
ventor, lived in Sangerville, anxious
mammas used to warn their hopefuls
not to play with that wicked Maxim
boy" In fact, young Maxim grew up
under the doubtful reputation of being
the very worst boy in the neighborhood.
This isn't said for the purpose of en-
couraging any other Maine incorrigibles
who are in the depths of their misdeeds.
If Hiram had been a perfectly good lit
tie boy and had devoted his time to
studying his lessons, he might have had
that flying machine all completed by
this time.
Hiram used TO work at carriage
painting in Abbot and was hired by
d. D.. Flynt. He was an artist with the
brush. One day a man called to see
Flynt while the latter was out. There
has been a man in 10 see you,' said
young Maxim. What's his name:'

looks, and the boy pointed to a board
on which he had roughly daubed a face.

the boy. and so | drew that" Flynt
knew his man.-Lewiston Journal.
