Leonard Bond was an artist newly mar

yielding casually to the temptation 10

Of the mania. until he had sacrificed

TALES OF THE MAINE COAST. BY
Noah Brooks. New Iork: Charles
Scribner's Sons. 27l pages. Price. 81.
In this collection Of short stories the
author writes OF the people among whom
he was born and reared their peculiari-
ties, superstitions. and foibles. Many OF
his characters. he tells US, are sketched
from real life, and we can well imagine
that he has been very true to his sub
jects. "Pansy Pegg," which illustrates
the sof .ening influence or love upon an
unkempt and uncouth tomboy; Inc
Hereditary Bane." and the Phantom
Sailor" are the most readable or the
stories. though In all the others there
is also merit.

We have received the first number OF
the Bath News. Democratic weekly OF
which ]. Gray McAllister is the editor
and publisher. II is TO be issued at warm
Springs every Thursday.
Mr.. McAllister is a competent Journalist
and takes especial pains to gather and
print local news. Many Of the weeklies
that come to us are dead failures In
this respect. They fill their columns with
clippings from city papers and pay no
attention to the hundred and one local
events which could easily be written up.
Bath county ought to take pleasure In
supporting such sheet as Mr. McAllis-
tiers.

A Shame.

1t has been stated that some OF the
members of the First Regiment who were
summoned to go on the expedition 10
Rosslyn to eject the Coxeyites were given
by their employers the choice between
obeying the order Of the Governor and
losing their situations.
IL this be true it is, indeed. n hardship
upon the young men in question. But
aside from that, it would be well for the
employer to consider that the inconVeni-
ence he experiences from the absence
from his post for few days of an en-
ployee Is a small matter compared with
what he may be called upon to suiier
the military IL not kept upon sOod
basis.

Governor O'Ferrall has dealt with the
Coxey invaders In the right way. When
a big body Of men deliberately squat upon
a section OF a Commonwealth AMI coclly de-
cline TO move at the request or order OF the
local authorities. 1t Is time for the State
10 act. Such men cannot be called IN
offensive" when they place themselves in
a community and say here we are TO
starve on your hands II you don't feed
us" They thus constitute themselves
charge upon the community which has
its own deserving poor TO look after. In
all localities there are worthy and es-
Unable people upon whom misfortune
through no act of theirs has fallen and
who deserve every aid and encourage
ment that can be given them.
Such individuals have the real claim
upon the community OF which they have
been a part. The "Coxey movement has
nothing commendable about II. The men
who embarked in 1t did so against the ad-
vice and protests Of the conservative, law
abiding sentiment OF the country IL was
an insult TO the intelligence OF America.
The men who want that sort or notoriety
should pay for it. Certainly industrious
communities saould not be charged with
the support OF an army Of deliberate va
grants.
