PAUL D. SARGENT, Road Commissioner of Maine.
'T'WAS years ago—the scriptures say That Paul came down the old Highway; And there, a light, immense, abode Upon the old Damascus road. He needs a brighter light to-day Who travels State of Maine highway; His benzine buggy strikes, kerwhack! And out he slides, upon his back; And while he writhes there in his pain, He curses motoring in Maine! Let him, to whom such things befal, Sing praises to our modern Paul, Epistled in our Public Codes— "Paul Sargent; Maker of Good Roads."
