Ex-SENATOR H. H. STURGIS OF PORTLAND.
EVER hear of the Sturgis Law? Dryest edict you ever saw! Man who made it—a diver was: dove one day for temperance laws. Into the sea from off dry-land: up he came with the bill-in-hand Strong on water, couldn't help be: soaked so long in depths of the sea! H. H. Sturgis of Cumberland: used to building things, that stand; Deals in lumber-stump to stuff: always makes things strong enough Stops up the leaks whenever he can: known as "Clark's Flexible Packing man" Saw a platform labeled "Enforce:" propped it up with a law, of course! Lo! It wasn't like other laws: double teeth and a set of claws! Made the State of Maine so dry: couldn't irrigate your eye. Hit the rummies—well you bet: couldn't whistle for want of wet, And those who yelled "Dont nullify;" now are mad because it's dry. H. H. Sturgis, Cumberland: used to building things that stand! 'When he has a job to do—usually puts it thru.
