We think mistake was made in locat-
ing that prize fight at Hot Springs.
Oklahoma would, to our mind, have
been far preferable place. We had not
thought of this until we learned that the
proverbial courtesy between lawyers had
been violently ruptured in Oklahoma.
Two of the aforesaid lawyers will never
again appear In court rs counsel or wit
nesses, for the very good reason that they
are dead, shot down in a bar room brawl,
Tuesday, by two other legal lights In
stead of those coming between the lawyers
being injured, as tradition leads us to
believe is usually the case, the lawyers
themselves, or part of them, were parties
to the injury. Now of course the great
attraction at prize fight is to watch the
infliction of the injury and to see which
one receives the worst of it. A fight
where none of the principals, bottle,
holders, referees or spectators are hurt is
indeed tame affair. Now in Oklahoma
II we may judge of the law and the
whiskey by the recent occurrence it
would be very difficult to hold a prize
fight without some one being injured.
The practical certainty Of it would be q
drawing card. Indeed we are not certain
but what the management could afford to
distribute whiskey and revolvers among
the spectators, gratis. This would assure
success Perhaps the great news associa,
tions might contribute toward such a
splendid pyrotcchnical sensation as mus,
result, and those, who wish the fate of tn,
Kilkeuney cats to overtake pugil,sts III
particular and pugilism in general, might
also contribute their mite toward tn,
delicious defamation that surely woult
OCCUR In Oklahoma We forget, possibl,
the principals do not wish to expose them
selves to such certainty OF getting hurt

1t would seem from long article in
the Rockland Opinion that the sensation
caused by the death of Violet Haskell AT
Deer Isle, who was believed to have com
nitted suicide, is more than a nine days
wonder. According to the report in the
Opinion there are good grounds for sus-
pecting that she was murdered, among
which are the disappearance of articles
she had in her possession on leaving the

There cometh the music of distant bells.
Tomorrow they say, twill rain, Twill
rain.'
80 grass grown dells, We are newly green,
o bells, We are far and faulty sweet,
But l think OF a strip Of sod between
Two violet banks, while the winds repeat
"Over and over the strain they bring,
The rhythmic legend of olden years;
when We hear the bells OF Hallowell ring.
Twill rain'a my eyes are filled with tears.
40 Hallowell bells! we need not stay
To ask Of the morrow, Foul or hright?'
Our faint hearts sink with the dying day;
The clouds grow heavy! 1t rains Tonight"
"Once and Again" is another of the
beautiful poems Of this volume whose
tender sentiment will awaken responsive
echoes in many a heart.
| ooh! once when our love was new,
Do you remember, my own,
How we swung on q mountain lakeet blue.
Mid the forest still and lone,
While the mirrored sky went drifting by,
Through realms celestial blown?
"swung dreamily to and fro,
AS the shimmeriDg waters curled
| Around our prov and the heavens hung low,
| And the hills shut out the world?
o world, thou vert far away that day,
And our untried sails were furled.
| "Be still, o passionate heart,
| Whilst we number the days since then!
| Come. Friend or my life. once more apart
From the clamorous ways OF men!
| AS we count the years through our smiles and
| tears,
| Let us drift with the waves again!
| "For the mountain lakes stand high
| In the land where our souls have been;
| We float where the gates of heaven are nigh,
| Where the soul may not come in;
| And dream of no greater bliss than this
| Save that which we die to win!"
| A large number of the poems in this
volume have already been published in
the Atlantic Monthly and other leading
magazines. There can be no doubt of
their reception by the reading public.
Their sweetness of sentiment strength
of thought, and literary finish will give
them permanent value and entitle them
to warm place in the affections of
cultivated readers. Best of all they are
full of promise of the good work that may
still be expected from the same gifted
pen
