Among the most frequent requests
that go to the United States senate
are those asking some prominent
member to give money to charity or.

charity worker asked Senator Flint
OF California, who is not a wealthy
man, to give a large sum Of money
for a free ward in one Of the hos.
pitfalls.
Il am sorry that I cannot comply
with your request" said the senator
gravely; but. judging from the mum.

my spare money exclusively to send.

A SUCCESSFUL SEASON.

This issue OF THE BREEZE will
end what has been in all respects the
most successful and satisfactory year
that the paper has ever enjoyed. The
paper has experienced a gain In cir
culation which was even greater than
was expected. On all the islands the
sales have been climbing to figures
never before approached, and far in
advance OF any previous year. We
appreciate deeply the great amount
OF advertising that has been given TO
us this year by both the island and
Portland merchants. The Portland
merchants are every year becoming
more and more aware OF the fact that
here in Casco Bay there is a grand
field for a hustling newspaper. and
their appreciation OF this fact has
been clearly demonstrated by the
Portland advertising we have car
ried this year. While this II the last

success, however. has attended the
paper this year and so unlimited IL
the field in Casco Bay, that there f.
every likelihood that next year The

news instead OF eight as heretofore.
Every year that the paper has been
published. more and more firm
friends have been made among the
residents Of Casco Bay, both summer
and winter and to them and all those
who have helped us in obtaining news
We extend our hearty thanks and best
wishes for a happy winter.

enough. Unusual events used to
