that many a younger man could not own.
was brought to the county Jail Saturday
night from Deer Lodge to serve so days
in the county Jail for yagrancy.
Two months ago Hickey appeared at the
city Jail and asked that he he given a
nights lodging. He was destitute. The
county commissioners looked into his
case, decided he was a charge for the
county and sent him TO the hospital at
Deer Lodge. There the kind treatment

Mary {. wilkins and Her Novels.

The work of Mary T.. wilkins Is the
most striking example of instructive
unconscious realism since Jane Austen.
In q little country town far away from
th,s new Battle Of the Books this
damure New England maiden watched
the nenple around her with keenness
and insight. While still in her girl
hood she began to describe the char
acters that interested her. in fresh
childlike manner all her own. These
clear-cut pictures are drawn with
vividness and truth seldom surpassed
bv masters of the art. 1t seemed that
a new wild flower had sprung rom
the soil to perplex the literary
botansts.
The critics are wont to congratulate
George w Gable and James Lane Al
len upon the felicity of a field un-
turned by the literary plough" Miss
wilkins had no such good fortune.
she Is content to be a CLEANER after the
early New England poets and novel
lists. 1t matters little to her that the
romantic stories of New England
have all been told. for she is more in
tercsted IN character than in adven-
ture il is her compensation that she
grew up in a small village uninvaded
by the modern spirit, where the
simpler mode of existence which thu
poet is fain to think Of as the better
way Of living still prevailed.
New England may not compare IN
romance ana brllancy Of colorinG
with French Louisiana. but there is a
core of character, way Of thinking,
and a freshness Of expression that is
peculiar to the soil Like the York
shire moors that left their mark upon
the characters Of Laurence Sternc ana
Charlotte and Emily Bronte. its rugged
hills and rocky fields We're favorable la
the growth of ecccniricity. Here the
Puritan character, always stern ami

Cattle are now coming in for good
share of attention. particularly in the
beef breeds. Short horn bulls are in
much demand, and are being crossed
with Jersey cows. The Jerseys do not
meet with appreciation in markets out
side the State. and farmers wish some
thing that will sell The great fault
with the Shorthorns has been that they
are not compactly built. are too long
legged and angular. There have been
importations made from outside the
State, the past winter. and | hope this
quality has been rejected. The small
er-boned. finer animals are the best
type for Maine. The other kind need
