KISS or GOLD"

The charm that lies in a story some
& mes defiesa definition. We call it ''the
. way . Story is told" just as we talk of
Z 1he expression as the pleasing quality in
= face. But 1t is more than that. 1t is
fhe magnetic personality Of the writer
behind the words.
This is what felt as, with q sigh, !
q laid down 1.-THE Kiss Of Gold" The
beauty of its diction still haunted me
lts humanity that planted little ache
"a my heart, and its buoyant description
Of youth, love and success put, alasl to a
wrong use.
began to wonder about this new au-
thor, Kate Jordan, whose story had
transfgured dull afternoon for me. i
felt that she was young and had per-
haps poured out the story of her own
literary experiences in the great whirl-
ing life of New York.
Who was she? l determined to see.
A few days later i was mounting a
flight Of brownstone steps in a quiet up
town street. and making known my mis-
sion was ushered into pretty, harmoni-
Gus room, oriental in style. 1t showed
that an artistic taste had selected the odd
trifles that filled it, One right angle was
= deep divan covered with rugs and
heaped with the most inviting looking
pillows. Above it hung a piece of
tapestry, an excellent copy of Bouguer-
eau's "Two Loves" The mantel was
draped In fishnet that looked as If it had
seen good service and was looped up at
one side by long fishing rod. japanese
mating and odd antique rugs covered
the floor. On the walls were many choice
water colors. But just above the piano
were some pictures that interested me
more--the original pen and ink sketches
of "The Kiss of Gold," daintily framed
in white, and also an original drawing
Of Miss Jordans heroine in her other
strong dramatic story, "The Other
House."
A very pretty violet eyed girl blue
morning gown came in to see me.
"You want to speak to my sister, she
asked. ''She writes in room at the top
of the house, just as far away as she can
get from all of us, and ifyou won't mind
going up two pairs of stairs I'll take you
to her."
followed my guide up the stairs to
white door ut the end Of narrow hall
under stained glass skylight.
Our knock interrupted the soft hum
ming of comic opera air, and we went
in. Miss Jordan was sitting at the win
dow before long oak writing table, on
which was heaped chaos Of papers Of
almost every color.

Congress street M. E. Church.

: Yesterday Rev. g. D. Lindsay closed
the first year of his second pastorate.
TheAyear has been a very successful one
in every respect. The congregations
have been increasingly large during the
year. Every Sabbath there have been
new attendants in the congregation SO
that the house is full. The spiritual in
terests of the church are in a very good
condition. The social meetings are fully
attended. The Sabbath school is large
and very prosperous under the faithful
and efficient supervision of Superinten-
dent G. M. Donham, and constantly in
creasing in numbers and interest. The
finances of the church are in a healthful
and prosperous condition. This church
has never been in better condition
than during the past year. The sermons
of the pastor have been able and inter-
esting. AS pastor, he has no superior;
he visits his people. he knows them all,
and of course his people are profited and
comforted as he sympathizes with
them. There have been received during
the year, 60 persons. He has baptized
20 adults and 5 children. He will doubt
less be returned to this charge another
year, as there has been an unanimus re-
quest by the official board for his re-
turn. ls

KNOX COUNTY AMBITIONS.
The Hopes of Democrats Who Want to
Handle the Mails.
Especial to the Press.


RoCKLAND, April S.-There is consid-
cradle hustling in Knox county towns
Just now for different government posi-
tions, prominent among which is the
post office.
In this city the fight has apparently
conferred between two candidates, Parker
T. Fuller, the present assistant postmas-
ter, and Oliver B. Lovejoy, one of the
letter carriers. Both are young men and
very popular, and the scales in their case
tip very evenly. There is much talk OF a
dark horse, inEwhich connection Oliver
Otis, the Opinions editor, and ex-Mayor
Bryant have been mentioned. The pres
ent incumbent, John Lovejoy, is one OF
the most popular and efficient postmas-
tiers Rockland ever had, and that he will
serve out his term is an accepted fact
In Camden two candidates are vying
for the honor of succeeding r. A. ID.
Singhi: Frank Wilbur, principal of the
grammar school, and Thomas A. Hunt, a
prominent merchant and business part
ner of the present postmaster. Thomas
ton has three aspirants, Edgar o. Dam
iels, F. E. Gilchrist and Miss Angela
Carr. Mr.. Gilchrist was mail clerk I'M
der Cleveland, while Miss Carr is sister
of Postmaster Carr and has had seven
years experience in office. In Rockport
Thomas Perry and Clarence 3. Paul want
to succeed P. B. Cooper. Capt. Perry
was appointed under Cleveland before,
resigning at the expiration of his term.
Arthur w. Wingate, one OF Unions most
successful business men, is the only APP
parent candidate in that town, and will
doubtless be appointed. In Cushing the
present incumbent, A. S. Fales, is a Dem.
ocrat who has served in the capacity Of
postmaster for 30 consecutive years, and
who will be reappointed beyond doubt.
w. M. Staples is a candidate in Washing
ton.
Thus far but three appointments have
been made inIthis county: OwenP. Lyons,
Vinalhaven; RobertI. Thompson, Friend
ship, and E. FL. Vaughan, Warren. Mr..
Lyons, who succeeds Arthnr B. Vinal at
Vinalhaven, will be remembered as the
solitary Democrat in the last state senate !;
a popular man in both parties.
