81 am saying no more than the truth
when / tell you that no dealer in Maine
can afford to pay more than 81 gallon
for whiskey which he sells over the bar
for ten cents glass. So, while the law
yers are gaining in wisdom from the
books which we buy for them, we are
getting in our revenge by selling them
cheap whiskey, which is eating the lining
ont of their stomachs and making them
old men before their time. 1t is long
lane which has no turn.''-Cor. n. Y.

BANGOR LUMBER SURVEY.
The lumber survey at the port of
Bangor for the six months ending June
so, 1908, shows surprising increase
over the amounts surveyed N the cor
responding period of 1902. Surveyor
General Crossman gives the figures as
follows:
Dry pine. S,957,349 2,223, O69
Green pine ........ Coz, 435 1888, al
Spruce &c, $50, It's "a, rs, $50
Hemlock, etc.. ......... 4,147,3@ S,222,no
Total. &C, 043, 951 1891 ,511
Many of the logs sawed in the first
half of this year were carried over from
the fall of 1902, the receipts of new logs
having been much less this year than
usual, thus far. While the output of
the mills has been large for the first
half of the year, there is danger that
the production will be greatly curtailed
from now on, owing to the late arrival
OF most of the drives, and perhaps the
failure of some to reach boom at all
this year.

of the sporting camps at which Senator
NJ. 5. Quay and party OF PeDnsylvan-
ians have been quartered for month,

guests TO get along with that we have, -
said he. THAT don't mean that we,
don't do everything we can to make his
STAY pleasant, but the unavoidable VIII
happen, and never a complaint comes.

for man of his age have ever seen.
Not long ago | met him at the end OF a
seven-mile trail and he was the least
fatigued of the party.
''IIe is fond of fly fishing and likes to
explore the country, spending most OF
his time out of doors in the canoe or on
the trail; but he comes mainly for rest,
and it is apparent that he is benettlng
by his stay

THE SENTENCING OF RUMSELLERS.
A Cumberland county official said the
other day that it amused him to read in
the Lewiston and Bangor papers Of the
terrible sentences which the judges of
the supreme court are giving to con-
victed rumsellers. "Why they seem to
believe that the sentences that are be-
ing melted out by Judge Spear and 9TH
ers of the supreme bench are very Sc
we're. AS a matter of fact | believe
that the records of Androscoggin will
show that when a man has been given
six months imprisonment in that county
by a Judge of the supreme court the
sentence has in almost every case been
cut down to sixty days, with the rest OF
the sentence placed on the special dock
ct to be imposed later if the man comes
up again.
Here in Cumberland county at the
last term of court at Seast five men
were sent to jail for six months, the
sentence in each case being imprlson-
ment alone without the option of pay
ing a fine Besides these there were
several who got sixty days, without an
alternative sentence. Cumberland coun-
ty has been far more severe in its treat
ment of liquor dealers than any Other
county in the State and the records
will bear out the truth of this asser.
