NO SLEEPING-BAG FOR THEM
Laplanders Preferred the Snow and
the Open Air, and So Had
Comfortable Night.

Sir Henry Lucy tells in the Corn
hill Magazine good story that he
had from Nansen, the explorer. 1t
amusingly illustrates the hardy health
OF the Laplanders.
Part of Nansen's equipment for his
trip across Greenland consisted OF two
Bleeping-b bags made OF undressed
skins. On the first night of the jour
ney Nansen and his two Norwegian
companions got into one OF the bags,
pulled the mouth tight across their
necks, and so slept in the snow with
only their heads out
Before retiring to rest, Nansen saw
the three Laplanders he had engaged
for the expedition cozily tucked into
the other sleeplng.ba When he
awoke In the morning. almost numb
with cold, he observed that the bag
in which he had tied up the Lapland-
ers was empty. and that they we're no
where in sight. He was afraid they
had deserted him. and scrambling
out OF the bag he went in search OF
them. He found the three men fast
asleep behind hillock OF snow that
they had scraped together as a pro-
lection against the wind
"Ah master" they said. when ask
ed to explain this extraordinary con-
duct, Eve couldn't sleep in that thing.

FOR STATE TREASURER.

Lincoln county puts forward a candi-
date for State treasurer in the person Of
Kendall M. Dunbar of Newcastle, and
confidently expects that he will be the
man to handle the Maine pocket, for Mr.
Dunbar is not unknown to Maine people.
His friends are legion and his acquaint-
ances extend to all sections of the State.
That he is well qualified for the Office of
State treasurer must be acknowledged
by all.
Mr.. Dunbar was for long term of
years secretary of the Maine Senate, and
as such was one of the most efficient
men who ever held the position. He
was accommodating; always willing to ex-
ert himself to do fa~ors for others, and
ready and willing at all times to assist
the seeker for information in finding
what he wanted.
AS secretary to the senate Mr.. Dun
bar did much to systematic the work of
the office and to facilitate handling the
work.
During the last three sessions of the
legislature he has served as clerk to the
finance committee, Senator Boynton,
chairman of that committee in the 18th
Legislature, regarding him as the best
available man for the work. His work
as the clerk to that committee has been
OF an extremely valuable nature. By
his methods it has, at all times. been
possible to tell exactly the state of the
appropriations made, pending, and as
they compared with the same time in
the last proceeding legislature. He also
kept record by which it was instantly
ascertainable what the amount asked
for in each appropriation bill was, the
amount recommended by the finance
committee and the amount allowed by
the Legislature.
Mr.. Dunbar will have the support of
former members of the legislature and
will make an excellent State treasurer
according to his friends.

HON. FORREST GOODWIN.
Congressman-Elect from the Sd Maine
District

Congressman-Elect from the Sd Maine
District.
Mr.. Goodwin stands at the top of his
profession. His counsel and services
have been sought by the largest business
interests in the State. His successful
defence of the rights of the laboring
people forced corporations to retain HIM
as permanent counsel. The same ability
that brought him success before the
courts of Maine will bring him equal
success IN the halls of Congress.
Mr.. Goodwin is a man of irreproach-
able character. The esteem in which
he is held in his own community is abso-
lutte proof that he has led life of clean
and honest endeavor That Mr.. Good
win is we'll entitled to the good name
conceded him is amply shown by the fact
that in the campaign when personalities
were so freely INDUCED in, whern every
edition of every Democratic newspaper
and every speech of every Democratic
speakerwas filled with unjust vituperation
and recrimination of Republican candi-
dates, no speaker and no paper ven
tured to cast so much as the shadow of a
stain on the name of Forrest Goodwin.
Mr.. Goodwin has accumulated through
his own efforts fair amount of worldly
goods. He owns one of the finest resi-
dences in Skowhegan, situated at the
top of Dyer Hill on Madison avenue. His
immediate family is made up of himself
and Mrs. Goodwin, who was Miss Matte
Smith, daughter of the late Martin
Sn 18th, a farmer in Cornville. Mr.. Good
win and Miss Smith were married in
June 1898.
