A Power nj Argumcn {.

The youth hadn't a great deal of
brains and he looked it, but at times
he gave off faint scintillations of in
telligence- He wanted to marry a
frivolous, silly girl he had been de-
voted to and in due course of time
went to her father. "Yes, yes, un-
derstand." said the father, as the ap-
plicant was trying to convince him,
but don't want a fool to marry my
daughter" Probably not. SIR" he
responded, "but don't believe you'll
find any other kind of man that will
have her," and the father was won by
this ingenious plea.

4 Town Made of Freight Cars.

One of the most curious settlements is at McAdam Junction, near the east ern Maine border. Half dozen old, condemned freight cars have been re- moved from their trucks and are snug gled together in bizarre village Families live therein, and children play about the doors The squat little shantytown makes waiting at that dreary junction even more depressing. Another feature of the landscape is Canadian Pacific ''boneyard. " Nearly a score of crippled. condemned and partially dismounted locomotives stand about in the field, wholly unprotected from the elements. Perhaps they're not worth roofing, but it strikes a thrifty soul rather queerly to see what represents probably half million dol lars of outlay nearly buried in ice and snow and utterly neglected.
