Thousands Throneed Busy Streets OF
The City,

got all that was coming to her yester-

with their families came to town upon

surging throng in every avenue of
commerce. The retail stores had an
excellent run of business, which ex
tended well into the night as the M
ployes from mills and shops came to
do their Saturday trading. Crowds
always make good business, and
Americas delights to see the crowds
come her way.

Names Modest Governor.

The late Hon. Abner Coburn, the
millionaire lumberman of the Ken
nebec, was elected governor of Maine
in 1862. The following spring he
visited the Maine troops in the Army
of the Potomac just prior to the bat
tie of Charlottesville. At the camp
of one of the regiments arrange
ments were made for the governor
to address the soldiers.
He was true patriot and a great
lu1nberman, but did not excel IN or
atory. After a few commonplace
remarks he evidently thought his
position as chief executive of the
state demanded something more
elaborate, and, raising his voice to
the highest pitch, he shouted:
eBoys, you believe in the repub-
lie, and so do /. You are long way
from home, and so am /. You hail
from the great state of Maine, and
so do l.. You are an honor to your
state, and so am ]"
The remainder of the speech was
drowned by laughter and cheers

he said. Il never have a cold, and
