The quality of timeliness, the supreme
virtue of today, is strlkingly evident in
Ainslee's Magazine for September. From
the very first article, "The International
Congress of Women" by Charlotte Per-
kins Stetson, to the very last, "The In
dustrial War;" by an anonymous contribu-
tor, Ainslee's has a grip on the pulse of
the world. "The Alaskan Boundary Dis
pute," by Arthur l. Street, contains the
whole story of the trouble from the date
OF the earliest dissention to the moment
when the boundary commission adjourned
so unsatistied and so unsatisfying. 1.-THE
author of David Harum," 'The business
of the Express Companies, "The Mayor of
San Francisco" and "The Practical Side
OF Trade Expansion" by Chas. II. Cramp,
are other notable features. Street & Smith,

A Suggestion for Mr.. KlpIlng.
From Literature, Harper & Bros.l


Apropos of Mr.. Kiplings troubles with
his unofficial biographer, while our sympa-
thies are wholly with him in his resent
ment against Mr.. Clemens, we cannot re-
frain from saying that now that he knows
how it feels to be written up in fashion
not altogether to his taste, he should ap-
preciate the justice of the American re-
sentiment of his American Notes. "a
Ken of America" as Mr.. Kipling might
have called his early, and somewhat ire
sponsible, effort, was no less offensive to a
people than is Mr.. Clemens's effort TO the
individual. Nor, to be quite frank, was Mr..
Kipling degree more authoritative in his
statements then than Mr.. Clemens is now.
His material was the stock material of the
cheaper grade of American funny papers.
His politicians were all salOon-keepers :;
his millionaires were all vulgarians; the
women he encountered were apparently of
that diamond-spangled class that has fur
nished the alleged satirist of American
summer resorts with points for his shafts
of stupid wit. We have no doubt that
Mr.. Kipling saw all these people. We
have seen them ourselves at home and we
have seen them abroad, but they are no
more representative of a settled condition
of life here than they are of life in Eng
land, France, Italy, Russia, Spain or Bor-
neo. And just as Mr.. Clemens has made
Mr.. Kipling writhe by giving a false i'm
preston of his subject to his readers, so
did Mr.. Kipling give pain to many Ameri-
cans by caricature of our vicious side,
and a silence as to our virtues so deep as
almost to amount to untruth.
A pleasant solution of the difficulty be-
tween the two authors suggests itself.
Suppose Mr.. Kipling offers to withdraw
his American Notes If Mr.. Clemens will
withdraw his Ken of Kiplingl In this
way two unpleasant books will be got rid
of, and with a clean slate to work upon
perhaps both The British author and the
discredited biographer may be able wholly
to rehabilitate themselves in the eye of the
public.

n.n,h of Georee RoNteII.

The death of George L. Bowtell occurred
Aug. II, at his home on Rockingham
street. His health has been gradually de-
clining for some time and a few weeks
previous to his death he was confined to
his bed.
Mr.. Bowtell was born in Charlestown n.
H., in 1916 and his boyhood was spent in
that place. He was one of the pioneer engi-
neers of the Fitchburg railroad, being en-
ployed in that capacity very soon after the
completion of the road, and continuing IN
its employ for 10 years constantly until he
retired from the work about three years
ago.
In 1916 he married Miss Mary Ann Wise,
who survives him. Two brothers of Rut-
land, two sons, Geo. A. and VIM. E. Bow
tell, and a daughter, Mrs. George b.
Wheeler, all of this place, also survive him.
The funeral was held at his late home on
Rockingham street, Saturday afternoon,
Aug. 10.

SEIZED FOR VIOLATION OF
FISHING LAWS

Halifax, May 2 (SpeciaD.-By the sale at public
auction OF the American fishing schooner Frederic
Gerring. jr., the last chapter in case of nerna-
tional importance is ended and the full details OF
the Canadian law have been satisfied.
This vessel was seized In the summer Of 1896 by
the Canadian cruiser Acadia. which patrolled the
coast east Of Halifax. The Gerrng had sailed up
close to the three-me limit good catch OF her
ring in her seines. and while the fishermen
were hauling the nets and removing the FISH, the
schooner drfted into territorial waters where she

where she since has lain idle while the law points
fought out In the courts.

seines and removing the fish from the nets within

owners of the vessel carried their appeal 10 the

cided that the Gerring was rightly condemned
