any size in Maine. With this petition he

One of the provisions Of this law 10 that
"any soldier or sailor disabled in the war
for the suppression of the rebellion or by
sickness or disability contracted therein
since his discharge from service, and any
American citizen who is blind, shall be
exempt from paying license fees required

mers and travelling statesmen. This act
only applies to those who travel about
from place to place peddling books in
competition with the local book sellers
