Comforting words about the Lrosoec-
tive weather of next winter continue
to come. Note this from The Globes
Saco correspondent:
The woodsmen say the signs all point
t. an, open winter. Snakes have been
seen in the woods and bullfross have
been heard at night this month in the
suburbs.

Here is one that The Stroller in the
Portland Express says comes from
the State Hospital at Augusta:
Crazy persons generally give evil
dence of their insanity in their con-
versation, although their talk is often
rational and witty. A young mill
hand who was suffering from some
slight mental trouble was sent not
long ago to the asylum at Augusta.
After he had been there a few days
an attendant asked him how he was
getting along.
Fine" was the answer
Glad to hear it," said the attend
ant. Il suppose you will be going
back to the mill soon"
What" exclaimed the patient with
look of surprise in his face
DO you think I'd leave a big,
grand house like this to go back and
work in mill? You must think 1 am
wrong in the head"
