The Reason Camp Meeting John AL
len Got Maine Central Pass.

Camp Meeting John Allen was one
OF the most picturesque characters of
his time in Maine. Apropos of rail-
road passes a very interesting story
is told. 1t occurred when Governor
Morrill, was president of the Maine
Central. Allen applications were
refused number of times, because if
there was one thing above all others
which Morrill, disliked it was to is
sue passes. The governor came down
to his Office in a somewhat brusque
frame of mind that day. Those ia
miliar with the storm signals quietly
backed off and waited for an explo-
sion. 1t came. One of the first let
ters opened was from Camp Meeting
John Allen requesting pass for
self and wife," The secretary ap-
preached his chief with some hesi-
tation.
Here is another letter from Mr..
Allen asking for pass" he said and
laid the missive gingerly on the gov
ernor's desk.
The governor read it through and
blazed away for few minutes; then,
tossing the letter to the astonished
secretary, he said, Make 1t out"
The young man retired and began
to fill in the various blank lines, but
when he came on what account" the
pass was issued he was puzzled and
ventured to seek Information.
"On what account. governor?" he
asked.
The chief looked irately over his
spectacles.
Account. account? Account of
persistence. Be sure to put it in,
too," and he growled as the young
man passed out, These Methodist
parsons may have to get us all passes
on the road to heaven, and want
Maine Central to have good connec-
tions with Camp Meeting John Al
