   WILLIAM J. LANNIGAN,  WATERVILLE,  MAINE.~

HE'S busy as a local freight

    A getting in the logs,

He simply can't procrastinate

    For pulp-machines are hogs:---

To satisfy all their demands

    He ought to have four pairs of 'hands.

All up along the Somerset,

    He is the handy man:

For Hollingsworth & Whitney get

    Their logs from Lannigan.

Moose River and Dead River too

    He helps to get the timber thru.

He never seems to pull or push;

    But gets there, just the same.

For, up there, in the northern bush,

    He has a well-earned name.

Of everything, to large extent,

    He director is, or president.

It's noted up in Northern Maine,

    That men who know the woods,

Are apt to be retiring men

    In all their social moods,

So I will let the picture tell

    The other things we know full well,
