DIR. JOHNSON AT TEIB MAINE
CENTENNIAL.

Tho Lewiston Journal of March 10th
gave the following report of DR.. Alfred
Johnson's address at the recent Maine
Centennial exercises in Portland:
"Among the speakers introduced was
DR.. Alfred johnson of Brookline, Mass,
and Belfast, Maine-grandson of Judge
Alfred johnson of Belfast, who was one
of the trainers of the Maine Constitu-
ton. Dr.. johnson was the personal rep
resentative of Governor Coolidge of Mas
sachusetts, the latter our parent State.
DR.. johnson was the surprise of the
evening-emphaticall so. Nobody but
Mayor Clark had the slightest intimation
that he was to be heard. But he is
genuine humorist; bright little epigrams
and novel twists of expression slipping
into his address SO naturally, and with SO
little apparent effort, that the audience
merriment. Although resident of Mas
sachusetts for nearly forty years he
seems to have delved deeply into Maine
history, romance and tradition, telling
his listeners many things that nine out of
ten of them didn't know. Nine out of
temp Say rather ninety-nine out of one
hundred. 1t developed that his boyhood
had been divided between Belfast and
Portland.
It is impossible to describe, or least
to report, the address by DR.. johnson.
His humor delicious thing-subtly in
fectious; the flow of his English was like
a silver stream running over white peb-
bles. And the charm of it all lay largely
in his manner-in a personality that
caon cd to touch aDd chaor zach DerSop in
that huge audience.
After paying glowing tribute to Maine
and the character of her citizens, he told
of the day when Maine became State,
tracing the causes of the separation
largely discomfort that the seat of gov
eminent was so far away, for travelling
was very difficult in those days; and he
read from old manuscripts and papers
in particular the Falmouth Gazette-no-
tees of the early meetings of protest.
One of his stories, selected from many
almost at random, dealt with an inter-
view he once had with Molly Molasses of
the Old Town tribe. Molly wore an old
sundry other things perfect lady should
poetry in her soul, for she told him this:
LIE dIedt OplIlt created OallIOInld-
mountains Of infinite height, valleys of
tremendous depth-and rested. 4 have
overdone it, he said. Then he created
the middle west-nearly all flat like a
prairie, and the great lakes. Again he
had overdone it, in the other way. And
then he created Maine-God's own coun-
try, its lakes not too vast or deep, its
mountains not too high, its islands and
bays perfect. This, said he, will be the
happy hunting ground, not only for the
red race but for the white race for all
time" DR.. johnson ended with fer
vent and patriotic prophecy as to Names
future
