ilistened with marked attention to his
address The same close attention was
.rgiven him at Waterviile. where from
tar and near came hundreds TO see and
shear the first president who has visited
11Iains in many years. In anticipation
irof his coming, general holiday was
esdeclared and all business was sus-
Z pended.
3 Just before leaving Augusta the pres

4fSewell OF Island Falls, Me, who had
accompanied him on many expeditions
and who had for time been employed
Won his ranch in Dskc Ia, was at Bangor

age in the meat supply, they had eaten
rnuskrat together, which the president
said was the last meat he had eaten
IN Maine before this trip. The presi-
@. dent seemed to delight ia the rural
n. simplicity of the man, and insisted
N that he should sit down to dinner with
Il him. Bill, therefore. had the distinc-
Il ton that comes to but few, Of dining
= with the chief executive of the nation
n and the governor of his state at the
Af same time.
u While at the fair grounds some one
suggested TO Sewell, who was seated

I that he should go to Washington and
o. secure the appointment as postmaster,

;, or. and said I'm reply:
- II be postmaster already"

, sembf-d. and they greeted him in song.
q Before beginning TO speak at the fair
y grounds. the president, noticing the
