Exaggeration.

Dear Miss Thomas: / enjoy your page very
much. and thought something on exaggeration
might help. l used to know a man, a long
time ago when we had a great many fish, who
was fond of fishing, and he was. very lucky
i'm catching them. But when we met him af-
ter he had been fishing and asked him what
luck he Ind, he would commence by stretching
his hands about yard apart. His conscience
would seem to smite him little and he would
close them to about a half yard by the time
ne had finished his tale. The truth was, he
caught a string about one foot long which
was good fishing.
Now. l know you have heard people talk
that way. but have you ever known one to
stop IL after he had fully formed the habit
If not what is the of writing about II ?
But IL might cause them to talk less that way;
that is to say, to draw their hands or tongue
in little. Now, how much better II would
he to tell everything just it is or was. PeO-
pie soon find out the truth of what we tell.
and Gods eye is always upon us, and the
truth will certainly fit us better for heaven.
Now. Miss Thomas, / don't want to flatter
you or Mrs. FELTON,, but If II was not for
your and her page / would not take The Jour
nal il not being my state paper, though /
think il good one.

Nice Girls Make Nice Boys

Dear MISS lnOmaS.
am a new conner but ] hope to be admitted
to share your Household. Allow me to say that
the young girls are as much responsible as the
boy II all the girls would object to any boys
company when she knows he is a drunkard and
then stick to her objection you would soon see
more reformed boys than a lifetime prohibition
can make.
Another thing girls are to blame for is the
general character OF boys You notice couple
that falls into disgrace, the girl is talked about
as long as she lives .e boy seems to think
he has hOnored himself. While that poor girl is
being sighted the boy can go and have just as
good a time the boy whose character is unde-
filed.
such boys should be regarded as dangerous as
sennnts for they much more harmful.
should a serpent bite you and cause instant
death it is not as bad the powers Of bad
bow he can make shame Of you all your days
and then death be the last enemy. Girls, be
careful You know an old saying that is as
true as the Bible is birds Of a feather will
flock together"
So if you keep company with such boys you
are and will be looked upon as their sort
Well I reckon I have said enough on this
subject SO l will close FOR this time, with
best wishes to all. z..-

THE DEBT OF MAINE.

The total debt of Maine, bonded and
floating, is less than the debt Of the city
of Lewiston.
The bonded debt of Maine is S698, 600.
The bonded debt of Lewiston March l,
1909, was 1890, 500.
The bonded debt of Maine is more than
half million less than the debt of towns
and cities in Androscoggin county.
The bonded DEBT of Maine is more than
half million less than the debt of the
city of Portland.
Names bonded debt is only little
over one-third as great as the debts of
towns and cities of Cumberland county.
The city debt of Bangor was S99S, 1868
in 1908. The bonded debt of Maine is
$685., 900 or $3.50, 900 less.
The town and city debts of Penobscot

half times the bonded debt of Maine.
The city debt of Bath on valuation of

Twenty cities in Maine are getting
