Inc Portland Press thinks the tramp
is not so black as he has been painted
and comes to his defence as follows:
The tramp is not a desirable person to
have around and if there are laws to
suppress him they had better be Jcn-
forced But we question if many of
the very henous crimes can be traced
to him. He steals some. and once IN
awhile breaks into d house. generally
selecting one that is unoccupied. But
most of the murders in this State have
been committed by others than tramps.
Not one Of the murders in this county
in recent years was committed by a
man who could properly be called a
tramp. The men who were suspected
OF the Cohurn murder were neither of
them tramps. The slayer of Mr..
MoShcr. if he proves TO be the man
generally suspected, came here for
that specific purpose. He was not
wandering about the country OF
course nobody can claim that the mur-
dercr Of Mr.. Farnham at the Tele-
phone Exchange. was tramp. No
body has ever suspected that the wo-
man killed at Berwick was slain bv a
tramp. The old lady killed and in
cineratcd at ParsOnsficld some years
ago was the victim Of boys who lived
in the ncighborhood. Champion came
nearer answering the description of a
Tramp than any murderer in this sec
ton OF the State whom we recall. but
he had worked in the neighbOrhood as
farm hand. Tramps may be re-
sponsible for the murders at Shirley,
but that is by no means proved as
yet. There is a disposition to assign
all hcinous crimes committed in the
country to tramps when they are first
discovered. but very few of them turn
out to be their work. Very few of the
murdercrs now in the State prison
ever belonged to the genus tramp. As
rule tramps are shiftless, broken
down persons. and few of them have
the resolution necessary for the COM
mission of crimes against the person."

A good story is told by the Thomas
ton Herald of deacon of the Baptist
church who was a shipbuilder some
% years ago. His pew at church being
in the wing, he could look out of the
window during service into his ship
yard. 1t SO happened that a ship that
he had been experimenting the build
ing of, stuck on the ways on Saturday.
the day she was expected to launch
and the work Of getting her into the
water was deferred until Sunday. High
tide came during the hour for preach
ms; service, but the deacon would not
allow business to interfere with his
Sunday worship. so he left the work
of launching the vessel to his men, and
occupied his seat in church as usual.
I'm spite Of all efforts To fix his mind
on things above. he could not help oc-
casionally CHANGING out of the window
at the topmasts. The services had
reached the prayer. Every head was
bowed. and nothing broke the silence
save the voice of the minister raised
in suppliCation. The deacon looked out
Of the corner of his eye. again, at the
topmasts: looked steadily for several
minutes. they were beginning to move.
their speed Incrcas ed and a sudden dip
and rebound told the deacon the ship
was at last in the channel safe. Totally
unable to restrain himself in his ex-
citcment. and unmindful of the solemn
lty OF the occasion, he half rose in his
seat and shouted: There she goes,
There she goes,''
