mil ODDfFELLOWS Attend Divine Worship at Christ Cluirch Sunday. (Hdiner Band Escorts Them to the Morning Services. Practical Sermon Upon Nelghbor IlniM by Rev. B. W. Plant. 8 The I. O. O. F, bodies attended Di vine worship Sunday morning at Christ’s church, where they listened to a practical discourse upon neigh borliness by the rector, Rev. R. W. Plant. The I. O. O. F. bodies were escorted from their hall to the church by the Gardiner Band of 16 pieces with H. D. Roberts as drum major and Ralph Manson, leader. Canton Ever green had in line 25 Chevaliers with Major S. D. Soule in command. Fol lowing them were 30 members of Eu reka Rebekah Lodge with Ensign George Marley as escort. Evergreen Encampment turned out 16 men under Capt. Fred Hobinson and there were 40 members of Gardiner Lodge in line headed by Eugene Chase, noble grand. There were simple but pretty floral decorations at the church and the sing ing was by the vested choir. The mem bers of the several I. O. G. F. organ izations filled several rows of seats on each side of the Central aisle and all of the remaining seats in the auditor ium were taken by the members of the parish and visitors attracted by the special service. The rector selected for his text: “Who Is My Neighbor?” He said in part: "Jesus in answer to the question of the lawyer, “Who is my neighbor?” told a beautiful story, the Parable of the Good Samaritan. The men in front of me know why I have chosen this story for my subject today, for upon this parable of the Good Samaritan is founded nearly all of the fraternal orders. There are three touching sit nations in this splendid parable, need, nearness and neighborhood. “The need was the traveler lying by the wayside. His need furnished the basis, the challenge, the inspiration of neighborhood. The traveler lies stunned and bleeding. The priest passes by on the other side. The Levite comes neareih to the wounded man, but he too passes by on the other side. Then came the Samaritan, who saw the need and got oft his breast and poured oil into the man's wounds. Each of the three men were near the wounded man but he was the only one to realize the real sense of the meaning of neighborhood. V/e Often use the word neighborhood for a cluster of families, but neigh borhood has a sacred, a wonderful meaning. People may be very near each othjer' 'in ftieir wdelllrigri and still have no neighborhood. They may live i side by side and never know each other. There cannot be a real neigh borhood without mutual neighborli ness, seeking to minister to one an other’s needs. An American woman in Turkey was captured by a band of out laws and all over the land men and women became interested in seeking her rescue. Here was neighborhood without any geographical nearness. “There is no intent in the parable to detract from the priest and Levite or to hold up the Samaritan. The par able teaches two ideals of neighbor hood. The priest and Levite were the geographical neighbors of the Jew' and the custodians of the public wel fare, the men you would naturally expect to find neighborly to him. The Samaritan was far removed from the Jew geographically and not of the same race or religion. Neighborhood is not geography, It is humanity. It is no question of affinity. It is altogether a question of opportunity. Nearness and need fail to deepen the sense cf neighborhood upon one who is not neighborly, to one neighborly soul nearness arid need form the irresistible appeal. •.'Neighborhood means sympathy, ine Samaritan was moved with compas sion. Neighborhood desires* to get close, to the person in need. It means self sacrifice. The Samaritan put the wounded traveler upon his breast while he walked. It means hospitality. He took the man to the nearest inn and when obliged to leave provided for his maintenance for several days. Neighborhood is not in being, but in doing, not in seeing, but in feeling and fellowship. Neighbors are made, never born. A man may have just as many or Just as few neighbors as he chooses. To ask “Who Is My Neighbor” shows that you need not reformation, but transformation. “Here is the danger which is es pecially applicable to fraternal orders lb the matter of nelghborllness. The neighborly spirit trery often becomes reciprocal. You show kindness when a Person shows It' back to you. The fra ternal organisation'says to a man: ‘“You join us and we will help you." The neighborliness which seeks a re turn is not that of the Good Samari tan. He never inquired what he was Wing to get back. The chances are that he never saw tlite poor Jew again. “What the World needs today is more neighbors. We can’t have too many neighbors. The message is not go thou and Investigate, or go thou and medi tate, or go thou and study, but go thou and make neighbors, everywhere, al ways.” 51 The. Kennebec "Light Heat Co. Is contemplating some Improvements and extensions of its gas mains this sum mer. A main for Central street and one on Spring street are the additions it will probably make and the old main from Summer street to the Farming dale line, which is a two-inch main and pretty old. Is to be replaced with a four-inch ohe, as the present one is not targe enough to supply the de mand. Capt R. F. Westman and Engineer A. E. Wakefield o( the Islander came up river Saturday night from Bath in the steamer Lizzie Snow. They will re turn Monday antf will be accompanied .the hew 1»' I I lip BIG CROWD AT HEARING. Much L«cal Excitement Over "a Dis abled Horse Case. The municipal court room was crowded to overflowing Saturday morning on the occasion of the hear ing in a disabled horse case. The hear ing was upon an application of Agent C. W. Blaisdell of the Humane Society to the court to require Wilmot H. Brookings to appear and show cause why an alleged old and disabled horse taken from him by Agent Blalsdeil should not be destroyed. W. G. Atkins appeared for the State and George W. Heselton for the re spondent Brookings. The proceedings were reported by Ctenographer Frank Lee. The principal reason why this hearing was gone into so carefully was in the hope ojf dra\vih{£ out testi mony to be used later in an assault and trespass suit which Brookings has brought against Agents Charles W. Blaisdell ^and Stephen B. Meady of the Hitman'e 'Society ifr-iffYe sum "of f500 each, and which will be heard at the October term of the supreme court. Officer Blaisdell testified as to the taking of the horse from Brookings, saying that when he met Brookings with the horse he ordered him to stop but Brookings refused tb do so and that he afterwards stopped him and secured the horse. The statement of the officer was confirmed by Capt. S. B. Meady. John Marshall and Oscar Friedman, who were present when the horse was seised. In cross-examina tion Attorney Heselton sought to bring out an admission from the hu mane agents that they had no war rant to arrest and that force was used in taking the horse from Brookings. John Hilton and Frank VV. Harring ton, the appraisers appointed by the court to inquire into the value of the horse, testified that in their opinion the anlma,l was worthless. The horse in question was hitched in front of the City building, while the trial was in progress and attracted considerable at tention. After listening to the testimony of the appraisers the court decided that the animal was worthless and ordered Agent Blaisdell to destroy the same. An appeal was taken to the September term of the superior court and the re spondent was required to give a bond to Agent Blaisdell in the sum of $200 to cover the costs of court and the keeping of the animal till a hearing was held in the higher court. He fur nished as sureties Norman Gammon and Joseph Brann. There was a lively tilt between Attorneys Heselton and Atkins as to whether the bond should he an oral or a written one and the court finally decided upon a written bond which should be satisfactory to the officer. FIRE ON NORTH STREET. Roof of Patrolman Cusick’s Stable Badly Scorched. Alarm 45 was sounded at 1.30 Satur day afternoon for a fire on the roof o£ the stable owned by Patrolman Michael Cusick at 120 North street. The roof was badly scorched, but the fire was extinguished with no further damage to the stable except by wa ter. Mr. Cusick had been engaged in rak ing up the premises and burning the rubbish when he heard a crackling and discovered a fire burning on the roof of the stable. An alarm was at once sounded and meanwhile Mr. Cu sick and his neighbors got to work on the fire with garden hose and buckets of water and such other means as they had at hand. The fire was burning in side the roof by the time the fire de partment arrived on the scene and had a stream of water upon it. As there are np hydrants on North street the water had to be taken from the hy drant at the corner of Spring and Mt. Vernon street. Here the steamer Fire fly took her stand and was able to put a good stream of water on the fire despite the distance, which compelled the use of 2400 feet of hose. The damage will be less than $100, covered by insurance. The fire un doubtedly caught from a spark from the bonfire although there was but little wind at the time it caught. SHAMROCKS WIN. Defeat Hyde Parks Saturday Forenoon At Quimby Field. The local baseball aggregations bearing the pretentious names of Shamrocks and Hyde Parks crossed bats at Quimby field Saturday forenoon.

At the March term of the supreme court for Somerset county 36 cases for violations of the prohibitory law were disposed of. This was a much smaller number than at the previous term, when the docket contained about 96 cases, 63 being disposed of. Out of this 36 but one fine and coats was paid, thia respondent being George W. BcSoth, the action being an appealed search and seizure process.. He paid a- total of $116.24. Of the other cases, nine were placed on file by order of the cotlrt, in three of w.hich the respondent agreed to violate the fttw no.more. Twelve .other cares were continued, six of which were against William Howard, who is out of the State and I whose bonds have been declared for j felted. One respondent, Harry Wil liams of Hartland, proprietor of the Park House, is out under bail of $300. He appealed from a search and seiz ure hearing in the municipal court and his case will come up in September. Three cases against Joel H. Gray of Solon, proprietor of the New Caratunk, have been taken to the law court on exceptions. These were a nuisance, a common seller and a single sale. His fines amounted to $450, not counting the costs, and seven months in Jail, with 16 months if the fines are not paid. Two other cases, one against William Howard and one against Ira W. Cushing, are now pending in the law court. Three nuisance cases against Henry Bartley were continued for the reason that upon the certifi cate of his physician he was unable to appear in court owing to a gunshot wound. Of the five other continued cases the officers were unable to find the respondents. The docket was well cleaned up by A K. Butler, the special attorney ap pointed by Governor Cobb. PITTSFIELD.

RECORDS FALL. One World’s and Two Col lege Marks Lowered. Another World's Record Tied ol Pennsy's Relay Carnival. New York Yacht Club May Cruise In Maine Waters. KU E Philadelphia. Pa., April 2C—One world's record broken, two American college records smashed and one world’s recent equalled was the strength of the athletic performances Bt Pennsylvania’s relay carnival at Franklin field Saturday. The fine: t feat of the day was pulled rtft in the pole vault, when Walter Pray of Yale easily won the event and at the same time broke his own world’s record of 12 feet 5% inches by an inch. The spectators had been notified that the bar had been put at 12 feet Cl Inches before Dray made his attempt pnd they held their breatli wnile he was in the air. He made a perfect vault, and drawing up his limb", man aged to clear the bar with a Irifie to spare. Shaw, the Dartmouth hurdler, also mode himself prominent bp tiring Kraezlein’s world's record of 1.1 1-1 seconds for the 120-yard hurdles. He accomplished this in tlte first heat, utiU wus not pushed very hard, ottiei wise he might have clipped off another fifth ai d made a new record. Michigan sprang a bit of a surprise by carrying off the two mile .liege relay championship from a strong Pennsylvania, team. In the one-male college relay cham pionship Pcmsylvania got revenge by a brilliant victory over Chicago. The open 100-yard race was won by Stevens of Yale iri even time. Oart mell, the intercollegiate champion, fin ished second in his heat, hut would not run in the heat for second men, preferring to wait for the one-mile relay. NEW YORKERS MAY .CRUISE MAINE COAST.

S Confessions of a Bank Man. I am a bank man, or rather a "has been.” A few years ago i was behind the bars In one of the leading financial Institutions in the "Hub of the Universe.” I went in us messenger and learned to do the hundred yard dash in recoril time. For this I received no medal but so much per,—a week. Like the elevator man in our institution, I had my ups and downs, acted as collection clerk, receiving teller and bookkeeper and by artending strictly to business in ten years time I obtain) d a fair knowledge of banks and banking. With all due respect to the depositories of tile people's savings and the splendid organization of bank men to which I still belong, I make this confession, (Draw your chair up a little, I want to talk to you in voice DE SOTTO.) WHISPER NO. 1. YOUR MONEY OUGHT TO EARN MORE THAN 4 PER CENT. A man said to me the other day "I am going to put my money in the Savings Bank and buy a home." Yes—but it reminds me of Josh Billings saying, "Save a penny a year and it's only a question of time when you’ll be a millionaire.” The sav ings Bank habit is all right but it never made a” Rockefeller nr Carnegie. The American people are coming to realize that fact more and more each day. I believe that every man, woman and child .should have money in the Bank as a. RESERVE FUND but they should also have money invested in Shipping, Railroads, Agriculture and Mining. You then have your hand on the rudder, throttle valve, plow, pick, and are participators in the great enterprises of this glorious republic. WHISPER NO. 2. THE DEPOSITOR OUGHT TO RECEIVE SPECIAL CONSIDERATION. You rent money to your bank at IVz to 4 per cent. V’hen you borrow you must pay around 7 per cent. This nfver seemed quite right to me. Let the outsider pay well for his loan but the depositor who ha3 helped make the hank ought to be PERSONA GRATIA. 1 make this statement because I try to he honest and not with any idea of saying anything detrimental to any banking man in this country. They are as clean rut gentlemen as I would care to meet. I have spent ten years of my life with them. I know them to he faithful to duty and loyal guardians of the people’s savings, hut 1 blame the BANKING SYSTEM. It lias not advanced with the times. Today is the day of opportunity in all lines of investments and the hanks today should dm run on a co-operative or profit shar ing plan. Therefore. I advise you to use the Savings Bank for your RESERVE FUND, the balance put to work where it may multiply some forty, some sixty and some a hundred fold. Now about PICKING WINNERS. Well— watch this space. M. G. BARNARD, JUST BEFORE GOING TO PRESS My talks so far have been preliminary—I might say educational. They have been written with an honest effort that you might pick out the little Guide Posts that point the way to safe, sound and pro fitable investments. They have been born out of experience-— per haps not as extensive and broad as some but nevertheless, in my opinion, as valuable. Don’t spend your time with WILD CATS. Don’t have them in the house. They can’t be ^domest ieated. They don't pay for their “board and keep.” BUY LISTED STOCK. Then you can turn it any day. It finds its level on the Curb or Exchange. It is not here today and gone to morrow. After once started it does not require bolstering by thou sands of dollars spent in advertising or pretty gold embossed pros pectuses that remind one of the 14th of February. I have in mind two stocks I particularly recommend for quick purchase that will show good profit in the immediate future. I shall name my first Tuesday. M. C.

Secretary Taft is entitled to a promi nent place in the “Don t Worry Club."_l Certain “Cuban patriots" can never forgive Governor Magoon for blocking the waf to the treasury._ It looks now as if Judge Parker would return to the quiet of Esopus after the national convention. Governor Hughes' friends are work ing hard for him, and believe that he ■will yet win out in the convention. The Boston Herald sizes up the situ ation in Democratic circles when it says that “it looks like Bryan and defeat.” With a few United States warships in Venezuela waters President Castro may be inclined to take somewhat broader views of life. The idea of Congressman Hobson as piring to the Democratic presidential nomination in 1912 must HU Mr. Bryan with righteous indignation. Snow in Berlin and extreme cold weather In A number of European countries show that this country is not the only one to suffer from a back ward spring. It appears to lie pretty generally conceded that the Democratic dele gates to the Denver convention who have been selected to date in Massa chusetts are for Mr. Bryan. The indications are daily becoming stronger that it will be Mr. Bryan on the first ballot. It is even said that the Denver hotel keepers will come to his assistance with a $11 rate for four in a room. Judge Kenesaw Igindis is reported to have recently fined a man a cent.

Mr. Ryan and the Metropolitan. The testimony of Mr. Thomas Ryan regarding the troubles of the Metro politan Railroad system of New York as given before tile speeiul grand jury Is attracting considerable attention and comment. It appears that this system Is capitalized at $317,000,000, which is considerably in excess of the capitalization of the Pennsylvania rail road system. Mr. Ryan states that he and Ids associates have never owned more than 25 per cent, of the company’s stock, although he and his four associates advanced half a mil lion to the late Mr. Wldtney to be laid out as in his judgment might seem best for the promotion of the com pany's interests. Just what disposi tion was actually made of tlds money does not appear, and it is somewhat dilltcult to believe that the men who contributed it were ignorant of the uses to which it was applied. It is somewhat surprising to learn that the company has been to an expense of $2,000,000 a year on account of damage suits in the courts, which we pre sume includes the million ft year paid for attorneys. Taken altogether, the revelations as brought out in this inquiry are cer tainly Surprising, and the public will have some difficulty in crediting the statement that the company has been conservatively managed. As long ago as the thirteenth cen tum a Chinese named Ye-jin-yang. dis covered a method of inducing ths forma tion of pearls in the Chinese river mus sels. The mussels were gently opened, and small pellets, usually of clay, in serted. The mussels were then mac d In about ttvo feet of running water. At the end of two or three years says a writer in the Manchester Guardian, they were again opened,, when it was often _ ____ linsl boon lip. found that naereous, fluatter had been de posited on the pellets, forming pustonis law. ’t'he tariff of next longest duration was tlie Walker tariff, which became ef fective December I, IXifl, and was not superseded for ten years and 21G days. The Winsley tartfi became effective July 24, ISbT. and therefore attained the age of the Walker tariff last month. From pres ent indications it is not ’ikely to lie amend 'd or displaied for some consider able time, so that it seems destined to made a conspicuous record for longevity. That the Dingley tariff' has retained its place anion;; active statutes so ions is not broil ns it ninr? neatly approaches the ideal tariff than any of its predecessors, nor because it was laid .town on such scientific or systemmetrical lines that it was incapable of amendment, without ab solute reconstruction. It owes its immunity from changes to fortuitous circumstances. Not since its enactment have tariff revisions or re formers secured sufficient power in Con gress to enable them in make an effec tive attack on it for the purpose of gen erally reducing duties Attempts have been made to work up a sentiment in favor of modifying some of t.he schedules which the lapse of time and commercial changes have made desirable to certain domestic interests, line all movements of that kind have received no erteourage inent from those who ha.'o been and are influential in directing national legisla tion. The fear of precipitating a general tariff revision, with its accompanying in terruption to business, lias always oper ated as a deterrent. With very brief in teruptions. the period covered by tin Dingley law lias been one of abounding prospoiity ar.d to interpose so serious a cheek to business as a general tariff re vision would have been to endanger poli tical supremacy from wliich the boldest leaders of the dominant parly might well shrink. Hughes Attitude. New York Tribune. Gov. Hughes’ refusal to name tbe deie gates-at-large from tiiis state to the Chi cago convention is in harmony with his general attitude towards the details of politics. Tile convention can be trusted «o name men who will carry out the wishes of New York Republicans at Chi cago by presenting Gov. Hughes as their candidate. Drink and Business. (Brooklyn Standard-Union.) The wave of temperance reform which ms swept the South and is now travel og eastward from tbe middle West cross the northern half of the country leans more than a disposition of The >eaple to lessen the rum evil for moral easons. It signifies a deliberate convic ion that the American people have more usipess than tljeycan property attend to nd at tne same Time coTitiriue to Yfnnk of former days when commercial life was not so active. The people believe that if tills country is to hold the markets of the world that it has already captured mid extend the trade into other parts, there mutt be less drinking; and a closer attention to busi-, ness.

Viewed under suitable conditions, few sights can compare for instant beauty and growing grandeur with Mars as presented by the telescope. Framed in the blue of space, there floats before the observer's 'gaze a seeming miniature of his own earth, yet changed by translation to the sky. Within its charmed circle of light he marks apparent continents and seas, now ramifying into one another, now stretching in unique expanse over wide tracks of disk, and capped at their poles by dazzling ovals of white. It recalls to him his first lesson in geog repliy, where the earth was shown him set ethereally amid the stars, only with an added sense of reality, stamped with that all-pervading, indefinable hall mark of authenticity in which the cleverest reproduction somehow fails. In color largely lies this awakening 1 touch that imbues the picture with the sense of actuality. And very vivid are the tints, so palient and so unlike that their naming in words conveys scant idea of their concord to the eye. Rose ocher dominates the lighter regions, while a robin’s-egg blue colors the darker; and both are set off and em phasized by the icy whiteness of the caps. Nor is either hue uniform; tone relieves tint to a further heightening of effect. In some parts of the light expanses the ocher prevailes alone; in others the rose deepens to a brick red, suffusing the surface with the glow of a warm late afternoon. No less vari ous is the blue, now sinking into deeps of shading, now lightening into faint washes that ocher itself, thus making regions of intermediate tint the pre cise borders of which are not decipher able by the eye. Superimposed upon its general opaline complexion are now and then to be seen ephemeral effects. At certain times and in certain places warm choc olate brown has been known to sup plant the blue. Often, too, cold white dots are scatered oyer the disk, daz zling diamond points that deck the planet’s features to a richness beyond the power of pencil to portray. So mi nute are they that good seeing is need ed to disclose them. It is at such mo ments that color best comes out. To those who know thf^-sun only as gol den and the moon aa white, even in its color scheme Mars would stand forth a revelation.—Century... In the City of Pills. There is one city in the world today which bears an absolute unique dis tinction* and that is Detroit—the “City of Pills.” So writes J. Oliver Curwood in the Technical World Magazine. This year it is estimated that Detroit man ufacturers will make three-quarters of the world’s supply of pills, or over 6, 000,000,000 pellets, of all sizes, shapes and colors, and intended for almost every ailment of human kind. In this city are made over 2,000 different vari eties of pillsrftmd if a single season's crop was maae of some deadly poison there would be enough to depopulate the entire globe twice over. To look at it in another light, if this annual harvest was strung, like popcorn, the rope of pills would reach three times around the earth at the equator. Today America is the greatest pill consuming nation on earth, for, while Deroit pills find their way to every conceivable corner of the globe, from the frozen regions of the Arctic to the deepest fastnesses of tropical jungles, not mors than one-third of the total product leaves this country, the aver age consumption being something like sixty pills per capita per year. This is the introduction to an inter esting illustrated article on “pill mak ing” in a great manufacturing chem ist’s establishment, and the author handles the subject very entertain ingly.

Newcomb, author of “All’s Right With the World” and “Discov ery of a lost trail.” Price, net *1.40: post paid $1.50. Boston: Lothrop. Lee Shepard Co. Any book by the able author of “All’s Right With the World”—whose sane and optimistic spirit won it the instant favor of thinking readers— will not want for a cordial welcome. In this latest product of his pen Mr. Newcomb has given us a work that will further add to his reputation as a clear, philosophical thinker. It offers a rational explanation and a practical aplication of psychic or soul science. It is a logical statement of the prin ciples suggested in the earlier books of the author and will help to make them better understood. It treats of the evolution of charac ter along the lines shown by evolu tion of form in the study of physical science. It considers man’s relation to God and nature and his responsibility and adjustment to his fellow-men. It deals with the problems of suffer ing and disease. It claims the right and power of humanity to win tor itselt all freedom and happiness. It shows that man possesses latent soul forces by which he can control his environment and dominate his life up on the physical plane without post ponement to an ideal future state. It urges the awakening to spiritual consciousness as the key to unlimited power in the material world, giving absolute action to the will. It points to “the waters of quietness” in the land of the soul as the source of all creative energy and gladness in the life of man. The Castle of Dawn by Harold Mor ton Kromer, author of "Hearts and the Cross,” and “Gayle Langford,” illustrated by H. C. Edwards. Cloth; price $1.50: Boston: Lothrop, Lee Shepard Co. The author of this book, a gifted young Indiana Journalist, came into favorable notice with his first novel “Hearts and the Cross.” The excellent impression made by this story was strengthened by his second book, “Gayle Langford,” and in “The Castle of Dawn” he is clearly at his best—his work showing greater depth and ma turity of style. In this book he has given a most stirring and fascinating story with love for its central theme, but with a rapidity of movement, and a wealth of incident, that holds tfte readers close attention from start to finish. It will easily take rank with the strongest novels of recent years. The “Castle” is in the Ozark Moun tains and how the hero and the hero ine find their fortunes cast together there under the most romantic and puzzling circumstances, with the tragic events which crowd each other, so fast do they occur, and the final un ravelling make up a story that will not let one rest when once it is begun. The hero’s keen wit which never for sakes him, even under the most trying circumstances, and the heroine’s vivac ity in situations of intense dramatic interest are unsurpassed in any novel of the period. The Belle Islers, a novel, by Rich ard Ilrinsley Newman, profusely illus trated by Wallace Goldsmith, illus trator on the staff of the “Boston._Her ald." Cloth: Price $1.50: Boston: Lothrop, Lee, Shepard Co. This book, which purports to be told in the language of a fifteen year old boy, is one that will not fail to attract attention. It is true to life, witty, keen in its analysis of character and motive, and carries with it some very practical lessons. If we were to venture a guess we should say that the “Belle Isle” of this story is merely an other name for the Presque Isle, Maine, of thirty years ago. Cattle Hill is a fictitious name for Castle Hill. Editor Stackpole is a very fair reproduction of Daniel Stickriey, the former militant temperance advocate, and editor of the “Sunrise;” while the prototype of good Dr. Barker will be. found in Dr. Parker, for many years the editor of the North Star. People who lived in Aroostook county when the notes of a great lumber concern circulated generally as money there, and especially those who were losers by it, will have no difficulty in guessing the originals of the firm of "Jewem and Pinehem.” Time has wrought great changes in the community described by this gifted author. The crudities of its earlier life have dis appeared. It is, today one of the most intelligent, wide-awake, and progres sive communities in New England. Most of the dogmatic and penny pinching characters of the old days sleep with their fathers. A better, broader, more unselfish and more progressive spirit, ‘dominates the pres ent day life of "Belle Isle." We think* wo could venture a shrewd guess as to the identity of "Dad," the devoted preacher, who suf fered the martyrdom of his calling, and who was a shining mark—a “dead easy thing”—for every shyster in the community—but we forbear. The book is a wonderfully vivid picture, of the life it describes, and there is not a dull line in it front cover to cover. It merits, and we be lieve it will have a large sale. Homo From the Sea. by George S. W'asson, author of “Cap’n Simeon's Store," “The Green Shay,” etc. Cloth: illustrated: Price $1.50: Boston: Hough ton. Mifflin Company. The stnries^d Mr. Wasson ring true to life, and cWry the salt spray of the sea. In his beautiful home at Kittery Point, Maine, Mr. Wasson is admir ably located to study the various moods of ocean and to come into close and sympathetic touch with the sea faring folk, who constitute an impor tant and virile part of the population in that section of our State. In the ten short stories that make up his lat est volume, and which give us a most vivid picture, of life at Killick Cove, Mr. Wasson is seen —at his best. Several of these stories have already been published in the Atlantic* and Century magazines and have won It Requires No Argument to prove the advantage of having a hank account.

Treat. golden opinions from the readers of those publications. The atmosphere ot these stories is the genuine atmos phere of the typical rural com munity on the Maine coast, where the seafaring life engages a large purt of the population and con stitutes the common interest. The characters vvith which Mr. Wasson has peopled Killick Cove are absolutely real. We have met them, and recog nize alike their sterling worth and ab solute fidelity to truth. Mr. Wasson has entered with sympathetic insight into their rugged life and portrays them with the skilfull touch of the master. In close touch with the high qual ities of the text are the illustrations by Mr. Wasson, who is a marine art ist of the first rank, as well as a suc cessful author. The book is a delight ful one from every point of view, and will form a valuable addition to any library. The Reaping, by Mary Imlay Tay lor, author of “On the Red Staircase,” “My Lady Clanarty,” “The Imperson ator” etc., with frontispiece in color by George Alfred Williams. Cloth: pp 334: Price $1.00: Boston: Little, Brown and Co. This fascinating story will we think be regarded as Miss Taylor’s strong est contribution to fiction. It is cer tainly a narrative that takes a strong hold upon the reader at the very start, and holds his interest, unflagg ing, to the end. The scene is laid in Washington, and deals with certain types of the political and social life, at the National Capital. It gives the melancholy experience, and tragic fate of a woman who seeks wealth, and social prestige in a loveless match with a man who subsequently became a cab inet minister at Washington. Here, too, appears later as the leader of his party in the national House, the law yer whom she had loved and jilted in the struggling days of his early pro fessional life. She finds, alas, too late! that human happiness is not to be purchased with dollars; and her opportunity of securing it has been lost. Like a crazed butterfly she beats in vain against the gilded bars of fate. She is forced to see the love of her for mer fiancee change gradually into pity. To see him loving another woman: to realize the bitterness that comes from the realization that the highest possibilities of life have been thrown away leaving only its dregs and its bitterness. In the development of this theme Miss Taylor is at her best, and has given the reading public an exceptionally strong and moving story, full of the qualities of human interest, powerful in its searching analysis of character, and intensely interesting from cover to cover. Laureled Leaders for Little Folk, by Mary E. Phillips, finely illustrated and decorated by the author. Small 4 to. Gilt top: pasteboard Carton; cloth; price $2.00: Boston: Lothrop, Lee Shepard Co. This is an ideal book for little ones, and one which embodies educational value with qualities that will interest and entertain children. This is an even finer book tiian the previous one of similar nature by this author, “Laurel Leaves for Little Folk." It is entirely devoted to three notable authors, treated from the point of view of their associations with children, the contents being: "Dr. Edward Everett Hale’s Letter to the Little Folk." “The Boyhood of Thomas Wentworth Hlgginson," “The Children’s Longfellow,” and contains a wealth of authentic material for illustration supplied by the families of the distinguished subjects and never before so collected. It is distinctly a Juvenile de luxe, and it is safe to say that never before has so fine a book for the young, or one involving such expenses in the pre paration, been offered at the price of this. It is a delight to the eye and an education to the mind and taste, the value of which will increase as the years pass. The Yale cup, sixth volume of the Phillips-Exeter series by A. T. Dudley: illustrated by Charles Copeland: cloth: pp 301: Price $1.25: Boston: Lothrop, Lee Shepard Co. No cleaner or more inspiring books for boys have fiver been published than those that Mr. Dudley has given us in his thoroughly delightful Phil lips-Excter series. His heroes are real b '.vs:, live boys, manly boy3- the kind of boys who ring true, and will appeal strongly to boy readers of like spirit. It is gratifying to know that these fine books are meeting with the iarge, and constantly increasing sale, that they so richly merit, and that good judges all over the -country recognize them as in the front ranks of the books that cam be placed in the hands of boy readers with safety and profit. The “cup” which figures in the title is an annual prize given by a club of Yale alumni to the member of the sen ior class of each of several preparatory schools “who best combines proficiency in athlettes with good -standing in-Ms studies.” it is the mosf-'deslfed honor. of the course in the great school where the scene of the story is laid, and the contrast is sharply drawn between the ambitious student who craftily studies the steps that lead to favor with the taculty and prominence in the student body, and the one who makes conscien tious use of ordinary abilities, mental and physical, with only the thought of self-improvement, service to his school, and honorable relations with all. Of course, in the end, industry and straightforwardness receive unex pected recognition, but the winner is a thoroughly natural and human boy who has faults, makes his mistakes, and profits by finding them out. The jokes ;and bantering of keen-witted students are refreshingly entertaining, and not the least interesting character is an over-jealous teacher who, as is so often the case, could have learned much from the boys. As is the caso with all these books, athletic sports are constantly introduced and treated with expert knowledge, hurdling be ing the branch selected for special at tention. In token of this the spirited cover bears the figure of the well known champion, Garrells of Michigan, in the act of taking a hurdle. David Porter in the Far North or the Pluck of An American Schoolboy, by Edward Stratemeyer, illustrated by Charles Nuttall: cloth: pp 285: Price $1.25: Boston: Lothrop, Lee Shepard Co. There are few live boys in the coun try who have not read the intensely interesting books of Mr. Stratemeyer. and who do not have a warm place in their hearts for him. No living Amer ican writer of boys books is so widely read and none so sure of a cordial wel come for everything that comes from his pen. Especially gratifying has been the splendid success of the "Dave Porter Series,” which has already had a sale sj.UTUSjisjPS syffie Qf the author** earlier successes and which is constant ly increasing in popularity. In this book, Dave is still at his well-liked boarding-school. Oak Hali, with his lively but manly comrades, who rejoice with him that he not only has discovered his parentage, but has a father and sister living, though un aware of his existence. Dave cannot rest until he finds those of his own family, and having secured leave of absence from school and accompanied by hhs churn, the son of a United States Senator, he goes to England only to find that his father has left on an ex pedition to the upper part of Norway. The boys follow in a most exciting pur suit which is replete with adventure. Dave's strength, courage and common sense triumph, and the family is par tially reunited, after which Dave once more lias a joyous return to school. Quickened, by Anna Chapin Ray, author of th^ “Hearts and Creeds," “The Dominant Strain," “By the Good Saint Ann," etc.; cloth: pp, 358. Price $1.50. Boston: Little, Brown Com pany. This book is tlie story of a young man, who, having compromised his good name, in speculations, which had ended in failure, had fled to Quebec to begin life anew under an assumed name. The new friends he made there, his marriage to a beautiful French girl; the sad death of his idol ized wife and her infant son: his busi ness success in his new business en terprises; his confession of his of fense; his marriage to an American girl, and his return to his old home to live down the error of his youth, all combine to make up a story of rare strength and interest. It is evident that the author is thoroughly familiar with the quaint old city of Quebec, its life, and Its surroundings. Her story abounds in movement and incident, and there is an analysis of the deeper moods and motives of human nature— a strength of character delineation— that imparts the qualities of a warm human interest to the story; and holds the closest attention of the reader to the end. It is one of the exceptionally strong books of the year, and should appeal to a very large circle of read ers. High Pressure Days. Men and women alike h^ve to work incessantly with brain and hand to hold their own nowadays. Never were the demands of business, the wants of the family, the requirements of society, more numerous. The first efTect of the praiseworthy effort to keep up with all these things is com monly seen in a weakened or de bilitated condition of the nervous sys tem, which results in dyspepsia, de tective nutrition of both body and brain, and in extreme cases fn com plete nervoils prostration. It J® clearly seen that what Is needed is what will sustain the system, give vigor and tone to the nerves, and keep the digestive and assimilative funeb tlons healthy and active. From personal knowledge, we can recom mend Hood’s Sarsaparilla for this pur pose. It acts on all the vital organs, builds up the whole system, and fits men and women for these high-pres sure days.
