any benefit is something which he alone
knows. AT any rate, he was not content
to stay in the rut. The young American
story teller has certainly not spared himself
in the search for emotional experience and
observation. In the New York streets he
found the material fQI other works upon
which Mr.. Howells has been pleased to
impress his most distinct stamp of critical

familiar figure on several Cuban expedi-

| 1t is gratifying now to be able to call at
, tention to a new story by Mr.. Crane which
shows a marked increase of literary power
III what is, perhaps an unsupported direc-
ton. This is a tale called tue Monster, -

American village, and SO original are the
theme and treatment that brief account
of the story can hardly fail to be OF inter

employ colored coachman who. during a
fire in the doctor 5 house, saves the life OF
his little boy. In doing this, however, the
| negro is cruelty distigured by the bursting

a sight of horror in his mysterious mask

such state OF abject terror is the commr-
nifty reduced by the monsters presence in
it that the physicians grateful charity
eXcites against him violent popular in
dignation. Nevertheless, the doctor
persists in refusing to consign the negro
to public asylum, and stands by his
resolve and determined gratitude in the
face of loss of friends and practice.
Thus the power of depicting horror,
which has hitherto led Mr.. Crane into the
paths of adventure, is used to show how
a quiet country town is brought to a state
of hysterical and all pervading fear. The
episodes and incidents in which this is
developed are diversified and striking, and
the sketches of village life are wonderfully
Photographic. The realism of various
scenes and characteristics is inevitably and
wildly recognized at once-the country
barber shop, the rivalry in the fire depart
menr, the children's party, The rural Cos
sips. AS sympathetic picture Of modern
American country life, no one can deny the
unusual merit of the last work of the young
story-teller. Mr. Crane has again proved
that he will bear watching.

Pie have considered as an evidence of con-

An Old Deed.

A curiosity in the form of an old deed
made in 1T46, ''the 10th year of his
majesty's reign" that conveyed parcel
of land situated in the town of Ipswich,
Mass, from one John knowlton to A bra
ham knowlton, relatives of the Knowltons
OF this city, was brought into the Journal
office, Monday, by Mrs. Daniel True of
Windsor. 1t is the property of her hus-
band, it being an heirloom of his mothers.
In the deed it conveys the land from
John knowlton, cordwainer, to Abraham
knowlton, cordwainer. 1t was the Gus
tom in those days when making deed
to place the occupation of the parties, and
the word cordwainer denotes that the men
were shoemakers by trade. There are
many words that are now obsolete, used
in the deed, and the instrument is by far
more complicated than those of to-day.

The Ilaine Hay Crop.

Wisps of hay are sticking through the
cracks in Maine barns like TUFTS of hair
through hobos hat. The cop is too
big for the barns. But the qua ity is full
~ equal to the quantity. No Oh favora-
BILE haying season has been known for
many years. The hay is well sprinkled
with ed and white clover and he COWS
and horses and sheep will laugh in their
quiet way as they lower the high mows
next winter. The trouble is as The Mail
has said before, the stock on many farms
has been SO reduced that there isn't
enough left to eat the hay and it will not
be easy for the average farmer to buy
enough. Many a Maine farmer is to-day
rejecting on the poor judgment he dis
played few years ago, when the hay
crop happened to be light for two or three
seasons in succession, in selling of, his
stock. He said to himself that the rails
ing of hay in Maine had gone by and that
1t was OF NO use to attempt to produce
beef in competition with the great cattle
ranges of the West. AS matter OF fact
the price of beef or Of pork or of mutton
has never been SO low in Maine that her
farmers were not able to get fair return

the same for the market. 1t took care
and skill in feeding to produce profitable
results, but nothing less is found necessary

A New Picture by Weber.

A picture that is attracting much at
tention is the one in Quimby's art store,
by Wesley Weber, the well known New
York artist, native of Gardiner, who
has passed many summers in the kenne-
bee valley His marine views have ma
uonal reputation, and this new picture,
which he has named 1.-The Yachts Com
ing over the Shoals by Moonlight is a
thing of beauty. 1t represents fleet of
yachts coming with full sail spread, I'M
der an apparent light breeze. The moon,
which is at its full shows from behind a
bank of broken clouds, and the reflection
upon the water, and upon the sails Of the
yachts, cannot but help impressing itself
upon the mind of the person who has
witnessed a similar scene. In the centre
of the picture is yacht with every stitch
of canvas spread blowing her way
through the waves. The colored lights
upon either side of the ships show up
brightly and their reflection upon the wa
ter can be seen. A little to the right of
the centre is lightship that guards the
entrance of the shoals. This picture will
soon be placed in heavy gilded frame,
and placed in the window where all may
have a chance to enjoy it. Kennebec
Journal.
We were under the impression that Mr..
Weber was a native of Monroe, Waldo
county.
