give way to rest and strength; tired brain

htted for the renewal OF llfe's work. The
artist here gath inspiration for his
nobiest work the poet finds the highest
development of sentiment and poetic
fancy; ne romancer and novelist finds
suggestions for romance and story, hero
and heroine on every side, and few
modern stories are complete without
some reference TO this renowned resort.
But Hancock county is not celebrated
for Its scenery and natural advantages
alone-it has its full share OF the noted
men and falr women OF the state. What
other county can boast of three contem-
porary judges OF the supreme judicial
court? One OF them the distinguished
chief justice himself Undoubtedly the
most popular and most generally and fa
vorably known man in the State to-day is
Judge Peters. Applause. As jurist he
has no superior and few rivals and his
decisions are quoted as authority
throughout our land. As friend he is
steadfast and true, and never loses an OPP
portunity to do favor. As a companion
or entertainer he is simply Incompatible.
His stories are inimitable. His wit and
repertee are like never failing mountain
spring. His speeches on social occasions
appeal to all our emotions; mirth, humor,
pathos and eloquence hold the fortunate
hearer spellbound. For two terms u
member of the United States Congress,
and for more than a dozen years chief
Justice of the supreme judicial court of
Maine, Ellsworth may we'll be proud of
being his birthplace. Applause,
What might not be SAID of our other
Judges Emery and WisWeu? [Applause
