The Wanderers from Maine.

They are evcryWhere-those sons and
daughters of Maine in whose honor this
particular week is set apart and
designated as Old Home Week, and
who. with their descendants. form
great pant of the army of summer
visitors whom the State welcomes to
it's shores and farms and forests
through all the beautiful summer
months. Until one reads the official
figures and reflects that Uncle Sam is
usually pretty accurate about those
things, it is hard to realize that there
are about 2oO. 900 natives of Maine now
living in other States of the Union. not
to mention their children and not in
Guiding those in foreign lands. Had
these wandering sons and daughters of
Maine remained in the home State they
and their families would have made its
present population far beyond the mil
lion mark. Eut the wander-lust was in
their veins and the call of the great
cities and of new regions was not to be
resisted. Many of them found oppor-
tunities which Maine could not afford,
and by their achievements they have
Of their native State. There are scores
and scores in the long list who have
fought their way to the front in their
selected lines of work, and whose
names are honored throughout the
land. We refer only to the living sons
of Maine In other states. not to the
great host Of those who have completed
their life work. Among them are lead
ers i'm all the professions, men holding
| highest positions of trust. men in both
branches of Congress. college presi-
dents, great journalists, world
renowned inventors and scientists rail-
road magnates. many millionaires. and
so on. The old State Is proud Of them,
and particularly proud that the love of
Maine lives on in their hearts and that
they are famed for organizing Maine
clubs and Pine Tree State associations
and for coming back to Maine as often
as they can.
Here are some figures from the
census of 1900. showing how the natives
of the State are distributed. Almost
100000 are in Massachusetts, alone. well
repaying with interest the early debt
of the District of Maine to the mother
commonwealth which peopled it's will
derness. Eeyond New England. the
states of California and Minnesota have
drawn great numbers of Maine people
for the past half century. The middle
| West and Pacific slope are full of them
but very few have gone into the South
except when they went in regiments
to help keep it in the Union. The same
census showed $4,000 natives of other
states living in Maine. In 1900 there
were natives Of Maine as follows and
doubtless the number Is larger now:

Dreaming Of Home.

1t comes to me often in silence,
When the fire light sputters low
When the black, uncertain shadows
Seem wraithS of the long ago;
Always with throb of heartache
That thrills each pulsive VEN,
Comes the old, unQuiet longing,
I'm sick of the roar of cities.
And of faces cold and strange;
| know where there's warmth OF welcome
And my yearning fancieS range
Back to the dear old homestead,
With an aching sense of pain.
But there'll be joy in the coming
When go home again.
When I go home again, There's music
That may never die away,
And 1t seems the hands of angels,
On mystic harp at play,
Have touched with yearning sadness
On beautiful broken strain.
To which Is my fond heart wording
When | go home again.
Outside of my darkening window
Is the great worlds crash and DIN,
And slowly the autumn shadows
Come drifting. drifting in.
Sobbing, the night wind murmurs
To the splash of the autumn rain;
But l dream of the glorious greeting
When l go home again.

The Narraguagus Times wakes indig-
nant at the recital of a Portland auto
mObilist who tells the Portland Press
of his exciting experiences in plotting
a devil wagon through Washington
county. The Times declares that it is
libel on the people down that way to
say that they take to the woods at
sight Of an automobile. 1t says that
quite a number are owned there and
that everybody is familiar with them,
and that one arouses no more interest
than a passing train of cars at which,
in every section, people always stop and
look. That Portland man may run into
a lynching bee if he tours Washington
county again.
