Another story of Judge Peters.

Here is another Peters story, which is
worth being told again. There was an
old gentleman living in Bangor a few
years ago, who had known the chief all
his life. He was quaint character, and
a firm believer in spritualsm. At the
time OF the incident, he was not feeling
well, and was fearful that his end was
not far off.
He had some matters OF business which
he wanted to attend to, and it was to the
chief that he came to assist him in draw
ing up the papers. The chief made them
out aud the old man wanted TO know how
much the bill would be.
"Well," said the chief, syou are an old
friend OF mine, and you haven't got long
to live, and Pm not going to charge you
a cent
THANK you, kindly" responded the
old man. "And, John, when l die and
get to heaven, I'li come back from the
spirit land and converse with you"

chief, grsvely, noGding his head sagely,
