Show A Good Son Is This. An interesting story of filial devotion is told of a Deering citizen who, as a young man, followed the sea and visited many foreign lands, settling down at home some 30 years ago, never having slept out of his own house but 10 nights since that time. During all these years he has never failed every day to call at the neighboring house of his aged parents par-ents in the early morning before going to his work in Portland and on his return re-turn at night. He always finds his father fa-ther and mother ready to greet him. He always says "Hello" in his cheery voice, and the old man replies, "We're here, John." That is all, but 30 years of that every day is vastly more filial companionship compan-ionship than falls to the lot of most fathers, fa-thers, and fortunate indeed is the mother moth-er whose fond heart never looks in vain for the daily visit of her son!
