and in Good Health.
Of satisfaction that he still enjoys good
health ana the activity of mind and
body that belongs to one many years
younger. His many friends will extend
congratulations in honor of the oceas-
ion, and best wishes for a continuance
Of health and happiness.
AS a matter of fact Mr.. Weever is
one of the oldest men in the city, and
1t might be added, one of the best pre-
served among those men. but to see
him as he passes along the street one
would never think that he was nearing
the century mark. He steps along as
quickly as many men who are years
Younger, and it would bother the aver
age man of 30 summers to keep up
with him. And in other ways he is as
active as his step would indicate. He
is a great reader and keeps in close
touch with the important events of the
day, in which he is deeply interested,
and il ready for a discussion at any
time. He IS not affiliated with any po-
litieal party but clings with unswerv-
ing faith 10 his two ideals-Abraham
Lincoln and Theodore Roosevelt.
Perhaps the most remarkable feature
about MIR Weever is his physical
strength and activity. His muscles are
still hard and elastic, and he keeps
himself "in condition. as athletes say,
both III summer and winter. by daily
exercise. During the summer time he
has several gardens and lawns that
he locks after, and when it comes to
running a lawn mower he is past
master in the art. He can make the
cutter hum, and a man of % would
Rave to go some to beat him out In the
winter time he does no small amount
of work in the way of shoyeling snow,
ard to this outdoor exercise he at
tributes to considerable degree his
fine physical condition.
Taken all in all, Uncle George, for
a man of his age, is in a class by HIM
self, and with no dangerous competi-
tors.

Sheriff O'COnnell
To Keep Deputies.

Bangor, Me, July 9.-At 2 o'clock
resenting the Bangor city council call
ed upon the county commissioners te
ask if something couldn't be done te
decrease the county tax. The idea
was that this could be best accom-
plished by having Sheriff OConnell
reduce his force of liquor deputies
they believed-as did the council when
the committee was appointed-tha,
rigid enforcement tends to pile up fl
nancial burdens. Their questions in
dicated an impression that, as the
Sturgis deputies once saddled Penob-
the present enforcement will weigh
upon the tax payers.
Sheriff O'Connell was present, and
he had a few things to say. They
We're things which swept the MEM
bers of the committee off their feet,
leaving them without a word of ar
gument, and which may possibly sur
prise the general public, too. Briefly,
they We're to the effect that the little
squad of deputies, so far from being
a burden on the tax payers have ac-
tually been turning good money into
the county treasury. From May 1st
to July Sth. fines actually collected in
the municipal courts of Bangor. Mil
linocket, Newport and Dexter and
from respondents absent at the last
term of the supreme court but since
apprehended, aggregated $2105.46
enough to pay the cost of enforcement
and leave over $500.
Thus the Deputies, SO to speak, are
more than paying for themselves"
But the $2105.46 already collected is
merely preliminary drop in the
bucket. There are between A. and
so cases appealed to the September
term of the supreme court--three with
fines of $500 each, and none with fines
less than Sl09. And" the sheriff de-
clared, there is just one way in which
those men can escape paying. They
can go where | can't possibly find them
and stay away until my term of o.
flee expires. That's their one hope.
If they come back while | am sheriff,
| don't care how or when, ! am going
to get them and they are going To full
fill their sentences.
THE prohibitory law is on the
statute books. / didn't put it there.
But SO long as it is there, SO help me,
am going to do my duty-and when
the time comes l can no longer do it.
