A NEW LIQUOR LAW WRINKLE.
1t is Specially Directed at Pocket Peddlers


Judge Benedict F. Maher of the Au-
gusta sMunicipal court, who has given
more straight jail sentences for liquor
selling than any other municipal court
Judge in the State, has discovered sec
ton of the statute which he saws will
get AFTER the so-caled pocket ped
dlers whom the enforcement officers con
tend are the hardest class of liquor sell
lers to catch. If man runs a saloon he
can be caught much easier than if he is
running around, like for instance in the
vicinity OF the National Home at Togus.
as travelling barroom. Out in that sec
ton 1t is alleged that nine tenths of the
bad Whiskey which is sold to the old sol
diers is disposed of by the pocket ped
dlers.
An alleged Togus pocket peddler was
recently hailed before Judge Maher on
the charge of illegal possession of liquor
The man had been up before His Honor
four times in as many months, and
well-known woman, who is supposed to
have an interest in the liquor business in
the FOCUS region, always went his bail
with alacrity, and even went up to Port
land when the man was arraigned before
the United States district court and be-
came one of his sureties. Judge Maher
administered the usual Jail sentence with
a fine and then ordered that the man be
placed under bonds of $1,000 to keep the
peace. The woman demurred at going
bail on the peace case and the man went
to Jail.
1t is Section four of Chapter 1873 of
the Revised Statutes upon which Judge
Maher bases his ruling, which describes
the powers of police court judges and
other magistrates. The section reads as
follows: They have jurisdiction of as
saults and batteries, breaches of the
peace and violations of any statue or by
law of town, village corporation or
local board of health, when the offense
is not of an aggravated nature, and of
| offences and miSdemeanorS jurisdiction
of which is conferred by law, and Of all
attempts to commit offences of which
they now have jurisdiction by law; and
may cause affrayers, rioters, breakers of
the peace and violators of the law to be
arrested; and they may try and punish
by fine not exceeding $40 or by imprison-
ment not exceeding 80 days and may re-
quire such offenders to furnish sureties
for keeping the peace.
Judge Makers ruling is certainly a
new wrinkle in the enforcement Of the
prohibitory liquor law, and if it holds
good in the upper court, the deputy
sheriffs say that they have weapon to
stop the pocket peddling in the vicinity
of Togus, and for that matter anywhere
else. The owner or the keeper of bar
room can much easier be caught, as
number of cases may be brought against
him. He may be indicted for liquor nui-
sance, common seller, and drinking house
and tipping shop and the owner of the
| h,1i11ir,rr oil ho E.,
and abetting liquor nuisance. Under
the law an injunction may be issued on
the petition of ten citizens to close up
the saloon or shop on the ground that it
is a nuisance.
Judge Makers ruling is looked upon
with interest in liquor circles in this sec
ton of the State.

BUSINESS is GOOD"
That Seems to Be the Situation in the
NeighbOring Granite Ouarries.


Progress of the stone trade in the quar-
ries of this vicinity is set forth in the re-
ports of the corresponding secretaries of
Quarry Workers journal.
Secretary George 3. Smith writes from
Vinalhaven that business remains about
the same as month ago. The Chicago
terminal job is being worked on.
Secretary L. c.. Woodbury. of High
Island reports so men employed in the
quarry and business is quite good. The
Springfield library job is finished but the
secretary understands there is another
small job coming.
All hands are at work, reports Secre-
tary John F. Patterson of the Hurricane
union. A vessel had just been loaded
with grout for the Cape Cod breakwater.
Secretary L. E. Donlin of the Frank
fort union writes: "Work here remains
about the same as at last report, and it
does not look very bright towards hav-
ing much work come here at present.
Brother James Joley has been married
of late, and we all wish him lots of luck
in his new life. The following officers
were elected: President, Burton Batch
elder; secretary, L. E. Donlin; treasurer,
Burton Batchelder."
w. F. B. Feyler, secretary of the
Waldoboro union writes that trade is
quiet, but there is something doing and
prospects of job in the future.
Secretary Charles X. Pierson writes
from Stonington that business is good
there, and chances are that it will be for
some time to come. The union re-elect-
ed the old board of officers at the last
regular meeting.

THE ANcoRA COAT IN MAINE.

1t will be remembered that few wears
ago the farmers of Maine were advised
to go into the goat business. This advice
came down the pike about the time the
Maine farmers were indulging in visions
of uncounted wealth as a result of
plunge into the Belgian hare industry,
with the propagation of squads and the
digging of ginseng root as side issues. It
was explained that the hair Of the Angora
goat was very valuable and that they
could be kept for something considerably
less than nothing for the reason that
their natural taste led them to eat brush,
brakes and thistles in preference to grass
and other fodder crops having distinct
value in the economy of the farmer.
And not few farmers in Maine took
the bait and went into the Angora goat
business. They soon found that it was
true that the Angora goat was cosmo-
politan beast of varied and not over
delicate tastes. They cleared up the
brush as per schedule, and then the
farmers came to their senses in the face
OF situation that had not been analysed
IN detail in the original program The
goats, having eaten all the brush, still
needed to be fed, and nothing but the
strongest and highest fences could keep
them from depredations on the grass
fields and the corn and potato patches.
Moreover, the winter in Maine is long
and cold and there are six or more
months in the year when the goat, in the
absence of growing forage, must be fed.
This was another thing that the victims
of the scheme had not taken into the
reckoning. As result of this concate-
nation of circumstances, the Angora goat
industry in Maine suffered shock from
which it will not soon recover. There
are yet in Maine few Angora goats,
but they are on farms that are looked
upon as essentially show places, farms
whose owners are in the business for the
fun of the thing and not for the profit
that may be got out of it. The goats
may be doing good work in the Lassen
forest and if the range is large enough
they may find enough food during the
months when there is no snow on the
ground. They have not, however, the
habit of the reindeer, which enables
those animals to get living through the
winter by digging beneath the snow for
their food. and when the cold winter
comes the forest service will have on it's
hands white elephant in the shape of
three thousand goats plus the season S
natural increase, for which food must be
furnished or a market found And the
expense of feeding through the winter
will materially reduce the profit that now
looms so large in theory. Bjddeford

DROUGHT.

That make the heritage sweet,
Thine are the thousand cattle
Who out of thy bounty eat,
Or trample path to the hidden springs
With patient and Flooding feet.
Lord of the blowing and sowing,
The early and later rain,
Thine is the careful harvest
That hoardeth the precious grain
For the sake of every little child,
Of thy cup and thy loaf full fain.
Lord of the plenteous raindrops,
Thine is the empty cloud,
Through winter and drought together
Make our complaining loud;
But hitherto God made haste to help,
To wait, shall we be too proud?
What if the springs grow empty,
What if the rivers shrink?
Out of thy PALM dear Saviour,
Give to the children, drink,
Scatter our crumbs with the little birds,
Lord, of thy household think.
Lord, if the children sicken,
Sicken and faint and die,
The heavenly springs run over,
Thv pastures are never dry;
But thou givest the grace of prevailing praye
And the time Of the rain is nigh.
First the chill wind in the treetop,
Then moist breath of the sea,
Then soft patter of raindrops,
Then all the floods set free;
Giver of thousands of mercies, God,
For water we worship thee;
For the fiood-gates out of heaven,
The strength of the sea, the rills,
The silver voice of the rivers,
The tiniest spring that fills,
Bubbles and running over, brings
The help of the hoary hills.

GENERAL TRADE IMPROVING.
Wholesalers Busy and Big Crops in Pros
pect

R. G. Dunn & Company's weekly Re-
view of Trade, issued August 2lst, says;
Reports from the principal cities unite in
confirming the revival in trade. They
speak of wholesalers being taxed to sup
ply the demand from retailers, of manu-
facturers experiencing constantly
broadening market for their products
and of steadily increasing courage on
all sides as the crop season advances and
the outlook for large harvests of unpre-
cedented money value widens.
In the dry goods markets jobbing
houses report a much better business
than year ago, and in some conspicu-
Gus instances the figures are running
ahead of the volume of trade in the cor
responding period of 1906. Cotton goods
hold firm and yarns are generally firm,
but not active. Initial orders for light
weight mems wear for spring are about
all in on staples and many Of the leading
fancy lines are now cared for. Mems wear
mills are more fully provided with bust
ness than for some years past. Agents of
domestic full fashioned hosiery mills are
receiving better volume of orders for
spring. The fancy dress goods trade for
spring has not been satisfactory to date,
but jobbers report a good business in
fall goods. Silk mills making fancy
staples and specialties are quite we'll en-
ployed, but other lines are still slow.
Linens are being advanced sharply in the
primary markets. Burlaps have been
more active and firmer prices are quoted
on spots.
Additional orders for shoes are not
coming in very freely and shoe manu-
facturers do not look for much business
before the close of this month. Buyers
feel sure that prices at least will be no
higher and consequently continue to
delay making contracts. The New Eng
land factories are pretty fully employed
and have good volume of business.
The demand for all kinds of hides shows
an improvement and a fair amount of
business has resulted in a prospect of
larger sales. Leather rules quiet and al
though many varieties are firmly held
there were weak spots in other kinds.
During the week a decline of one cent
per pound occurred in oak rough leather

A Home 10 a Stump.


In the northern section of Seattle may
be seen one of the strangest houses, to
be occupied by family of seven chill
dren and their parents, that can be found
in a thickly settled community. John
Selvert recently went from Iowa to
Seattle with large family and little
money. On account of the demand for
houses he was unable to rent house
suitable for his needs, and bought a lot
in section of the city from which the
timber had been cut. He found half of
the lot was taken up by gigantic cedar
stump measuring thirty feet high, eigh-
teen feet in diameter and ten feet above
the ground.
With an auger and saw Seivert cut out
a seven-foot section from the south end
and walked into his stump. The walls
We're found to be fifteen inches thick and
the whole stump was hollow shell. He
cut windows, laid tight floor and made
ceiling of plankins and flooring.
With a ladder he cut another door
twelve feet above ground, went inside
and made the windows for the second
story. The third story was constructed
and tight roof Of shiplap and shingles
was made over the top.
Seivert peeled off the bark and paint
ed the stump light green and the win
dow and door frames pure white. The
whole makes very pretty home at a
cost of only $40, and the owner has re-
fused $2500 for hisunique abode.
