It bus ever been a matter difficult to comnrehund how in a stale where the legal rate of interest is eight per cent that the stale itself and the counties and municipalities can exact twelve per cent and then perpetrate? a further injury by adding a pen alty of nearly as much or even more.

A brief life sketch of Neal Dow: paper read by Mrs. Scrrurior at W. C. T. U. meet ing: Neal Dow was born in Port land, Maine, March 20, 1801 lie was the son of strong, sturdy Now England (Junker stock, industrious, frugal and lomporalo through several gen orations. His early schooling up to the ago of II) years was at tiio roriinnti Academy, then his parents decided to send him lo the " Friend's Academy" in Now I fed ford, Mass. Tli reason for this change was not only the desire of his parents to assist the academy, but they believed it would bo or advan (ago lo him (o mingle with peo plo outside of his own homo, Ho was content from thu very beginning. Ho had the gooi fortune to come under the in lluonco of a circle in which his mind and manners had oppor (unity for improvement. 'J hero was an exceptionally fine library in the school whore he could gratify lo his heart's con tent, his love for reading, lie cause of his love for reading be said, "1 have had in all my lift very few If any onoly hours. His school days undod at the ago of II). Ho wished to llnish his odcuatiou and attend col logo, but his parents had a fear that it would bo at the peril of liia soul. A friend of his was a medical student who gave liini the prlvi ego of study mi with him in his home, ami lit kept pace with him in all his HlwIiiNj. His earliest business venture was surveying a largo trad oi laud. It was no easy tank to outer thu woods of .Maine in those days, and they had many interesting advon lures. I no guide employed on tliitf occasion was addicted to the use of liquor, and of course would not go on a trip of tins kind without a generous supply, hui mo journey was much long or than they had anticipated and ho had to go without am after being in the woods sever al mouths, acknowledged that he was in better health than he had been for several, years which fact of course plonsoi Neal Dow very much. At the ago oi -i no traveled all over (ho settled part of the Unltet States and after bis return his lather took him in as a partner: he was a tanner. This gave him a comiorinoio income ot Ms own. Ho was married at the age of 20 and became the father of nine children, always in structing them in the principles ot true temperance, of which ho was an ardent advocate. Al tiiougu temperance was by no menus popular in (hose days. vi't lu wns it in it n nf wnnlili itml " ......... inllueuco at the early ago of years, no spent threo years in Kurope. Ho answered the cal of his country in 18151 and serv. od two years, bight months ot that time lie was in I.ibbv prison. He is called the father of probition because Maine was the tirst prohibition state and it was largely through his in Hueuce. In the yoar of 18SI the inllueuco ot the Washingtoniun relorm readied Tort land. It originated in Haltimoio in IS 10. where a few workingmen. all drinkers, suddenly resolved that invf wimiti iiusuiin noiu uu in loxicating driuKs.
