NEAL DOW'S BIRTHDAY.

It's Observance Last Sunday in Belfast.
There was certain Portland citizen who
occupied government position and who was
addicted to periodical intemperance. One
evening his wife came to the young Neal Dow
who was even then a power in temperance
circles, and told him that her husband was at
certain saloon, and that if he was absent
from his duty on the morrow he would SURELY
lose his position. Would Mr. Dow go after
him and try to induce the rumseller not to sell
him any more liquor? Mr.. Dow found him in
the saloon and said to the proprietor, " wish
you would sell no more liquor to Mr. B."
"Why, Mr.. Dow," said he, Il must supply
my customers"
But" was the reply, "this gentleman has
large family to support. If he goes to his
office drunk tomorrow, he will lose his place
1 wish you would sell him no more" The
rumseller became angry at this and said that
he, too. had family to support, that he had
license to sell liquor, and he proposed to do it,
and that when he wanted advice he would ask
for it. $50 you have license to sell liquor
said Mr.. Dow, land you support your family
by impoverishing others With Gods help, I'll
change all this" He went home fully deter
mined to devote his life to suppressing the
liquor traffic. Thus "The Maine Law" origi-
mated.
Since Neal Dow's DEATH the date of his birth,
March goth, has been observed as one the W.
