COLBY STORIES, A MAINE BOOK.

Colby Stories, collection of tales of
college life at Colby, is in many ways
unique volume Many of the leading col
leges and universities have issued story
books, as Harvard, Yale, Princeton, Cor
nell, Vassar, Smith and others, but none,
as far as we have seen, are like the Colby
stories.
Mr.. Herbert C. Libby, the editor, has
developed novel and interesting plan
of collecting stories of college life par
ticipated in and told by men who are
now well known in literary life. We
get the stories first hand and told by
those who know how to tell them.
Among these are Holman F. Day, the
Rudyard Kipling of Maine; Asher G..
Kinds, Secretary to the Speaker of the
National House of Representatives;
Professor Caldwell of Illinois, and Lii
brarian Koopman of Brown University.
The book is divided into three parts.
| Part | contains the strictly college
stories, of from 1000 to 5000 words in
length. Part ii contains the Unvarn-
ished Tales; "reminiscences by some of
the older graduates. Here will be found
many a good anecdote never before
published. Part Ill contains three ia
nous stories of Rare Ben Butler. The
book gives vivid glimpses of college
! life, and the stories have a 60 in them
that will appeal to everybody.
If there is anything that gives tone
to book, it is good cover design and
good illustrations, and in this Colby
Stories leads any college book we have
yet seen. No other that has come to
our notice has original illustrations.
The selection of the artist was a most

a Maine boy. who gives his old State
the benefit of his talents in her latest
book. There are eleven original illus
trations drawn by him from the manu-
script, besides a large group cut of the
contributors.
Mr.. Libby, the editor, is the son of
Hon. l. c. Libby, who was well known
throughout the State as the Cattle
King and later, as the tinancier OF
five of the longest electric railways in
the State. Young Mr.. Libby graduated
from the Waterville High school in
1898 with the English Honor. While
in the High school he founded, and for
year was editor of, The Nautilus, the
school paper. The same year he also
edited a good-sized paper of City
League. In college he was elected
News Editor of the college paper, The
Colby Echo, which office he resigned to
devote his time to Colby Stories. This
is Mr.. Libby's first effort in editing a
book, and he has been eminently sue
cessful.
Colby is the first Maine college to is
sue work of this kind, and the book
| promises to be a success, as the first
edition is nearly exhausted by the adj
vance sale from all over New England.
The book has about 300 pages, gilt top
design of Colby willows. 1t was pub
lished at Waterville, Me-, under the
managership of Julius II. B. Fogg.
Price $3.50.

AS all good things must come to an
end, and the time for our departure
was at hand, good-bys were said, and
with Yates at the helm we were soon
at White Rock and en- route for Port
land, returning via Lewiston, where
Mrs. Philbrick and Mrs. Stevens stop
ped off to visit Mrs. Annabel Miller I'm
derwood, thus making a break in our
party. Our journey was most pleasant,
the railroad officials kind and polite.
Changing cars at Waterville we soon
heard the call, 'Burn'em, Burn'em, -
and as we boarded the Belfast train
and saw 'Jerry's" smiling face, we de-
cided that for good looks, politeness
and courtesy Mr.. Sulliven could hold
his own with the best of them. So

record. A. NJ. H.

Drug Stores and Search and sei.ure.

In the account given in a daily paper on a
recent seizure of liquors in Belfast, the
following statement occurs: "The only
PLACES a!s which escaped were the drug stores,
Not to trouble such places, if they sell
intoxicating liquors, seems unfair. But let
it be remembered that druggist has legal
right to use intoxicating liquors in the COM
pounding of medicine; hence has legal
right to have such liquor in stock.
Only, Intoxicating liquors kept and de-
posted in the state, for unlawful sale in the
state" can be legally seized. The seizure of
druggists stock Of liquors would result
only in their return to him by the court,
unless proof was produced that he had un-
lawfully sold intoxicating liquors or that
they were kept and deposited there for I'M
lawful sale. Intoxicating liquors found IN
saloon or in the bar of hotel are them
selves proof of such intent Not so, how
ever, when found in drug store.
Indeed it is only justifiable to issue a
search warrant on drug store when the
person who issues it is satisfied that intOxi-
eating liquors 'sare kept and deposited"
there for unlawful sale.
Any other course would be unjust to the
druggist and subject the county to unneces-
| such warrant may believe the druggist
| unlawfully sells intoxicating liquor, but no
man can be condemned in court on belief.
Legal evidence alone will convict them.
But the sale of Intoxicating liquor by a
druggist, even on the prescription of ply
sician, is unlawful in Maine. Christian

Mr.. Breidenthal would have the
power, under the new amendment to
the constitution, to appoint 4 judges
of the supreme court of Kansas. Are
we ready to introduce socialistic
propaganda into the supreme court of
the state?
Mr.. Breidenthal, as governor, would
have the appointment of the board of
regents of the agricultural college; are
we ready to reintroduce into the agri-
cultural college socialistic propagan-
da which, after two years of struggle
and effort, has just been eliminated
from that Institution?
Mr.. Breidenthal, as governor, would
ilave~the appointment of the board of
regents of the state university, of the
board of regents of the normal college,
and would have the appointment of
all the heads of departments in Kan
sas. With his rabid ideas, he would
make Kansas a hotbed of rampant So
cialism.
: The election of John w. Breidenthal
would work more absolute Injury to
Kansas than could come to US
through the operations Of half Coz
en- ordinary reform administra-
tions.
We would soon be known in the
whole United States as one state with
socialist governor, with socialist
supreme court, and with socialist
teachers in our state institutions
The socialist cranks of all states
would refer to US as their Mecca.
The election of J ohn w. Breidenthal
would set us back half century in
our progress. Are we ready for social
ism in Kansas?

ABE FRAKES SQUIRMS.
The HeraId's Story About Him Has Ev-
identity Struck Tender Spot.

A few weeks ago, Abe Frakes visit
ed Eureka Frakes is the fusion can
dldate for secretary of state.
A reporter for the Heard met Mr..
Frakes at the depot. as that gentle
man was about to leave town. w. a.
Thompson. of Cedervale, Chautauqua
county. was also present. Mr.. Thomp-
son wore Mckinley button, and told
Mr.. Frakes that he had voted the
Pop ticketup to this year Mr. Frakes
made a spectacular effort to reconvert
him. and failed This was followed by
an incident which was reported as fol-
lows in the Heard of August Il:
Mr.. Frakes was not alone in Eureka.
He had with him his little nephew.
CIaud. bright. lively little chap of
five wears, and was taking him to
Howard
Desiring to show off the infants ac
complishments, Mr. Frakes pointed
to Mr. Thompson, and said:
THAT man is a Republican DO you
know what will become of him.:
ssHe go to hell'' lisped the baby. and
Mr.. Frakes clapped his hands in ap-
plause of his own efforts at teachInga
young idea how to shoot
This little incident ''caught on
well with the press, and was copied
in a great many Kansas papers.
1t hurt Mr. Frakes, for it put him
before the public of the state in his
true light. He has evidently spent six
weeks in thinking how to dodge the
effects of this little item.
Mr.. Frakes is supposed to be finan-
cially interested in the Wa-keeney
independent, the leading Pop paper
of Trego county. Last week the fol-
lowing article appeared in the indie
pendent probably written by Mr.
Frakes. 1t is too good to keep, and is
herewith republished in full 1t Is
headed 'sAn Unmitigated Lie"
Western Kansas world. [volume] (WaKeeney, Kan.) 1885-current, 1900-10-20

short time ago the Eureka Herald
published an item in~which Hon. a be
ErakeS was supposed to have eXultant-
ly encouraged his nephew, four years
of age.-in using profane and indecent
language. The statement had the
brand of falsehood upon it. yet it was
food for the deprayed souls of Il few
political puppets who reproduced the
lie In their papers. The truth is: Mr.
Frakes, his sister and little nephew
were waiting for the train at the sta
tion in Eureka. The little nephew
had on Bryan and Stevenson cap.
The reporter OF the Heard twitted
him fof some time about it and nnally
suggested that the boy ought to be
for Mckinley, to winch the little fell
low remarked, "You go to HI" Mr.
Frakes heard the remark and repri-
manded the little fellow for it and
said: s'You must not talk that way to
the man." To this remark the little
boy replied: ''He amt no man -
TO this rejoinder by the little boy the
crowd present Joined in some laugh
ter at the expense of the reporter
Now, this is the truth of the situation
The reporter was seemingly shocked
at the leviUy, but was not sufficiently
so but what he could send an unmiti-
gated lie to ms paper for publication
The World, the keeper of good conSci-
ence. decency and honor, was also
shocked to hear such Drofane lam
guage and it reproduced the item.
The average man will-indOrSe no such
foul manner to smfrch the character
of an honorable citizen. Think of the
hypocracy. Pretending to be shocked t
the use of DrOfane language. and at
the same time using the most dis
honorable and contempt means of
circulating what on its face was an
Infamous lie.
We are glad the HONORABLE Abe
Frakes. as he calls himself. has at
last abandoned the '.SIlent contempt
system. The Herald was almost afraid
that he had not seen the little story
the Herald printed about him.
The story as printed In the Herald
was absolutely true IN every particu-
lar. There was more which the Her
aid did not print. 1t did not state
that Mr.. Frakes got his nephew to re-
peat the $50 to III" several times,
but this is Il fact. In every way Mr..
Frakes induced the little lad to speak
words-ef which the childish intellect
could not comprehend the meaning.
1t was most shameful and disgust
ing scene, and probably Mr.. Frakes
didn't think-how it would look when
told of in print. Mr.. Frakes would
make it appear that the reporter for
the Herald printed the story about
him as personal piqueat tie remarks
of the little boy. The fact is that the
Herald reporter did not say word to
the boy, and the boy did not say a
word to the reporter. Mr.. Frakes was
the man the Herald reporter was in
terested in 1T the time, and Mr.. Frakes
is the man whom the Herald nailed.
The Herald is willing to stake its
reputation for truth on the accuracy
of the Frakes interview. 1t was abso-
lutely true, and Mr.. Frakes knows it,
and that is why it hurts.
