    When you are about to badger the weak,
    Then imagine yourself before a more powerful man.
    Tiruvalluvar (c. 5th century A.D.)

    It is said that a carpenter building a summer hotel here ... declared that one very clear day he picked out a ship coming into Portland Harbor and could distinctly see that its cargo was West Indian rum. A county historian avers that it was probably an optical delusion, the result of looking so often through a glass in common use in those days.
