 "You see the ice cart has been de- livering at that shop, and the poor little chap has taken a piece from the gutter. Now, you and I, who can get refreshing drink whenever we re- quire it, cannot imagine what luxury that piece of ice is to that boy"
 Here, my little fellow, here's a three-penny-bit. Get yourself a glass of lemonade. You must not eat that stuff. It will make you ill."
 'I wasn't going to eat it," said the grimy little chap. "Farver's having a sleep at 'ome, an I was going to drop it down his back"

DEMOCRATS ALSO
HOLD POWWOW

Democrats OF the S1st Legislature
held caucus in the Senate chamber
Tuesday night and their discussion
of various matters lasted until about
1890.
One of the measures debated at
length was the kennebec Reservoir
bill. which was vetoed by Governor
Baxter. and the great majority were
in favor of the bill. only three or
four expressing themselves as OPP
posed to 1t. The Democrats will not
vote a a unit, however when action
on the veto is taken, but will vote
individually.
Those who are against the bill OK
pressed satisfaction with the Gov
ernor's address to the joint conven-
ton giving his reasons for his veto.
Fully nine-tenths of those attend
ing the caucus favored the Leland
highway bill creating third class
road fund. and the general sentiment
was that a bond issue for highways
should not be more than FIVE or six
millions.
REPRESENTATIVE Gillespie Of Med
