MAINE MEN IN BOSTON.

Massachusetts City Has More Than Any
Place in Our Own State.
The number of Maine people who are
residents of Boston and vicinity will prove
a surprise to any one not familiar with the
figures After Massachusetts itself, Maine
furnishes more of the residents of Boston
than any other State in the Union, about
twice as many people as New York and
nearly three times as many as New Hamp-
shire. The following figures, taken from
the actual census returns where possible,
will give a good idea of the Maine people
living in Greater RnStnn.

If to the total Of 42,04S natives of Maine
In Greater Boston we add the 5l3S IN Lynn,
and the 1901 i'm Salem, we have total of
1887 natives of Maine in and about Boston,
not including smaller places, such as Airing,
ton, Belmont, Milton, Dedham, quincy ana
other places, statistics as to which are not
so easily ascertainable, and without count
ing the population of the surrounding coun-
tryside. If the number of natives IN these
should be added, it is practically certain
that it would appear that there are in and
about Boston more natives of Maine than
there are people in Names largest city OF
Portland, which has a population OF 80, 145.
In Lewiston, the second largest city in
Maine, there are but 23,761 people. in Ban
gor but 21,85o and in Augusta, the cap lha
but II 1858. In fact, when it is realized that
out of the total population of Portland there
are but 34,91s natives of Maine, it will be
seen that Greater Boston may accurately pc
called Names largest city, so that not only
are the natives of Maine the most important
part of Boston's population, but Boston is
the most important city of Maine.

The Simple Life.

To cast belittling care away,
To love our labor-and our play
To count our comforts every day
And curb undue desire
To live at peace without, within,
To help the weak, to strive with sin,
To scorn unlawful gains to win
And feed loves sacred fire.
To learn that silence wisdom brings.
To find that power from patience springs,
To mark the might in little things,
And honor man-aS man.
To speak the truth, to hate a lie,
To gladly live, nor fear to die,
To hope for Heaven by and by
And trust tn Eternal Plan.

ToPEgA KAs, Nov Announce
ment is made by the officials OF the

way that an agreement has been en-
tered into between that road and the
Chicago & Alton whereby the former
will use the tracks OF the latter be-
tween Joliet, H., and Kansas City for
the Golden State Limited, the star
Rock Island train between Chicago
and California.
This is done because the Alton line
between Joliet and Kansas City is
thirty miles shorter than the Rock
Island line. Another reason is that
in other years the Coded State Limi-
ted has been continuously delayed
time and time again by local trains N
the Rock Island line between these
points.

dule next Sunday.
