stood near the main doorway Of his splen-

Tween ty-sixth street and Broadway. The
spacious salesroom and offices on the
ground floor were crowded. Thousands
had passed through the wide doorways in
Broadway and in Twenty-sixth street, all
anxious to have peep at the well-known
features Of the distinguished professor.

Davis credit for all the different forms in
which his name appears. ana if initials

This result is very satisfactory to Mr..

Truth beats fiction but the folIowir.
event. taken from the autobiogranh.-
Of Stanley Estes, can give cards and
spades to both and win easy. Mr.
Estes lives in Fort Fairfield, where in
conjunction with Herbert Powers he
practices law and self-restraint. He is
official shorthand man for Judge
Whitehouse and expert stenographer
for the Maine House of Representa-
tives. Barring Il fondness for the So
ciety of Holman +. Day of the Lewis
ton Journal. he leads a sweet and
blameless life. Last Saturday Mr..
Estes found himself in Portland, and in
common with all Portland people. he
had a lot of unused time on his hands.
Il is no longer secret that Mr.. Estes
writes all the poems that appear over
Mr.. Days signature, Mr.. Day dividing
lending his name for publication. Mr..
Estes, having a large lot of Aroos-
took-curod verses in stock, took a
skip to Lewiston Saturday night for
the purpose Of unloading Sunday. dis
charging his cargo at Mr.. Days wharf
in time to catch ;he train for Bangor
In changing ears at Brunswick he
was surprised to note the large number
of persons who had assembled on the
platform to greet him. Such a demon
stration of regard for his public ser
vices pleased him more than he would
care to confess. He shook hands with
q number. remarking that he was glad
to see SO many honest faces on the
auspicious occasion. At Gardiner and
again at Augusta the demonstration
W&s repeated, so that he would have
made a speech in the latter place if the
train had stayed a minute longer. His
ride to Bangor was occupied with pleas
ant musings upon the offices which he
wished To hold. At last he put such
thought aside and determined to say
that he was in the hands of his friends
who. if they felt like doing anything
for him. might mention the fact thai
he was built after 0 model to fill the
chair Of the consul general to London
in which place he could easily draw his
salary Of $4,000 year without en-
dangering his health.
1t was with difficulty that he could
push his way through the throng that
awaited him on the platform at Ran
gor. His arm ached from the exercise
Of handshaking when he reached the
side of the charioteer who controlled
the destinies of the Bangor house
hack.
What had better do?" asked Mr..
Estes.
You'd better get some sleep" said
the liveried jehu.
Yes. l know that. but they expect
ME to make speech. Lord. what
crowd, | am il this time for sure.
Just then the surging multitude gave
a shout that was heard in Brewer, and
Jeffries, common slugger who uses
his fists instead Of his intellect, came
in sight. escorted by the joyous throng.
and NJ. Estes quietly subsided among
the plush foldings Of the hack cushions.
Before he embarked for his home
Monday morning. Mr.. Estes becam"
rcconcilad to his fate. l1c had found
chance u sleep at the hotel OF his
choice. while the puSiIst had gone fur
Their. Mr. Estes believes this was
wise move. as one hotel could hardly
hold both men at the same time.

that both patients were getting along
nicely. AS they are private patients the
