Speak Up!

| Don't De AFRAID to speak Soou
word for Maine, especially when,
through ignorance or malice, its good
name is assailed. We have more to
be proud of. here in Maine, than have
the citizens of most states. Its worst
enemies are those who, through in
difference or lack of state pride, sit
supinely by and permit men from 9TH
er states TO give ii black eye. with
out uttering a protest.
A man from Maine recently visited
a small Massachusetts town and, dur
ing a social gathering, was engaged IN
conversation concerning the workings
of the Maine prohibtory law. strange
isn't it, how. when they know an
about it, they still seek information.
The opinion was voiced by the Massa-
chusetts man that Maine people were
hypocrtes when they came TO the rum
question and declared that he never
would permit his family to pass anoth-
or simmer under that influence To
nrove his case he said that he visited
gentleman in Northern Maine for the
purpose of taking an outing and that
his first greeting was, DO you want a
drink?" That, he declared, was the
attitude of the whole State toward the
stranger within her gates.
The man from Maine took up the
first proposition by tself-that Maine
folks are hypOcrites wnen they come 20
the rum question: and replied that we
have never yet pretended that the rum
business was respectable and given il
legal standing with our grocery stores.
banks and granares. The Maine man
nciehbors had a monopoly of pretence
so lCrg as Massachusetts did that.
Neither man was willing tG admit for
a moment that selling rum is respect
able on that "a liquor saloon is Il fit
place for a man to be found.
AS to the second prOposition-that
the first question IA Maine man asks
a visitor is. do you want a drink"
That is a wrong impression, induced
by the actions of Il thoughtless man
who desired to be hospitable, to sup
ply the man from Massachusetts with
Maine resident. 1t was his desire to
provide unusual entertainment for his
guest, to furnish the visitor with
he himself did not ordi-
narily have, which prompted him to
suggest such thing.
Then our Maine friend began to
hammer the point home declared that
the world contained no more sober, |
industrious a people than were to be
found in Maine. quoted few savings
bank statistics. the growth of our
schools and colleges, the rise in the
value OF farm lands and other points
which We're not recounted to the

the gentleman of assachusetts. who
is prominent educator and a thor
ough gentleman, acknowledged that |
he had judged hastily and wrongly |
He switched the conversation to the !
reason why Maine potatoes had stood |
so poorly in the market this year and |
in half an hour had asked for the ad-

LITTLE OF EVERYTHING.
Had 'Em Aoain,

Dr. s. Weir Mitchell tells with keen
enjoyment of the experience of medl-
cal friend OF his who engaged a
nurse, recently graduated, for case
of de!irium tremenS. The physician
succeeded in quieting the patient and
left some medicine. instructing the
nurse to administer it to him if he
"began to see snakes again." At the
next call the physician found the pa
tient again raving. TO his puzzled in
uuiry, the nurse replied that the man
had been going on that way for sever
al hours and that she mad not given
him any medicine.
But didn't l tell you to give it to

Literally the Truth.
Two or three generations ago Dr.
Samuel Reed was one of the promi-
nent physicians of Boston. His large
practice included many patients out
side of the city limits, and these he
visited in his buggy.
One day he bought new horse,
with which he was much pleased un-
til he discovered that the animal had
an insurmountable objection to bridges
OF all kinds and could not be made to
cross one.
AS, at this period. it was necessary
to cross some bridges in order to reach
any one of the surrounding towns, the
doctor decided to sell the horse. He
did not think it necessary to mention
the animals regularity, but much too
honest to misrepresent him, and. after
some thought. produced the following
advertisement which he inserted in a
local paper:
For Sale.-A bay horse, warranted
sound and kind. The only reason for
selling is because the owner is Obliged
to leave Boston.-Dippincott'
