We do not remember winter for years
when professional tramps have been more
numerous in Maine or more obnoxious to
its citizens. Not long ago Portland lady
who lives alone in her house ON one of the
principal streets of this city was called to
the door by the ringing of her door bell
She is almost totally deaf and her atten-
ton was called to the sound by the bark
ing of her little poodle dog, who has been
trained to let her know in this way
Upon opening the door, what appeared as
a tall, stalwart female pushed her way in
and demanded in voice that indicated
the male sex both food and drink. The
lady gave the tramp good dinner, but as
she had neither tea or coffee in the house,
he or she insisted upon and got hot choco-
late. After spending quite long time
at the dinner the tramp took his depar-
ture much to the relief of the solitary
woman.

History has q persistent way of re-
peating itself We had supposed that the
large sleeves which prevail now in the
ladies' fashion books were of modern
times, but an aged Portland lady says
that the same style prevailed when she
was "a girl Us now. So much silk was then
used that one sleeve would sometimes cut
over into a dress for good sized child.

The citizens of Thomaston are trying
to raise $500 to repair the first church
erected in that town in 1875, and towards
which General Henry Knox subscribed 40
pounds or about 5000. The original bell
still remains in the steeple 1t is certain
ly to be hoped that the efforts to maintain
this historic building may be successful.
Maine will ever cherish the memory of
General Knox with pride, and the people
of Thomaston deserve all praise for their
efforts TO maintain and transmit to the
future those things connected with the
life of the great Revolutionary soldier
who was so intimately connected with
the early lite of this substantial Maine
town.

The growth of values of city properties
often brings about most unexpected re-
suits. The Portland Transcript tells OF
a wealthy man of that city who years ago
bequeathed to his two sons a consider
BILE amount OF real estate but without
a specifying how it should be divided.
They agreed to settle the matter by lot,
and John secured the coveted choice
that of the downtown property about
Middle and Exchange streets, land Charles
had to take the uptown property. He
said he then considered that his loss,
through difference in desirability for
rents, was $50, 600. But the trend of
trade toward Congress street in these
later years has enhanced the value of
property in that section, so as TO more
than Offset the original difference

1t was not long ago, says the Bangor
