LITERARY NEWS AND NOTES.

E. c. Plummer has received very in.
teresting volume, the first of it's kline
ever published, entitled "Bowdoin 81
a History of Undergraduate Days. -
The book is splendidly printed AND
bound in the most up-to-date fashion
1t is from the pen of Clarence B. Bur
leigh, class of 81. 1t is written in a
most entertaining style, beautifully
illustrated, and recites the story of the
class and biography of its members
of whom MI. Plummer is one. Nh
Burleigh makes a present of the work
to his classmates. Bath Times.
The wonder is how Mr. Burleigh
with his newspaper work and activity
in other fields of usefulness, finds time
to write books. Perhaps he will give
us later another Aroostook story.
Rudyard Kipling's new story is the
principal feature of Everybody's Mag
azine for October. "a Burgher of the
Free State" portrays the scenes imme-
diately before and after the capture of
Bloemfontein by the British, and the
old Scotchman, who has been a burghel
of the Free State for over forty years,
throws much light on the true situation
in South Africa. The story is full OF
the wit and word play so charmingly
characteristic of all Kipling's short
stories. That the Dowager Empress of
China was slave is generally known,
but the methods by which she mounted
the throne, and the subtle cunning by
which she attained her position, are
facts most entertainingly told in this
number. ''How Does 1t Feel To BE
Baked Alive?" is the title of another
article which answers that question
Staurt Robson continues his delightful
memoirs of fifty years of his busy life
and relates many amusing anecdotes OF
well known people. Besides the Kip
ling story, the magazine contains sew
eral interesting short stories. The il
Illustrations are particularly good and
plentiful.

Rev. : +. Pearson the sheritf-elect.
is an interesting personality. Twenty
five years ago he was lahoring as a
silver polisler i'll the city of Portland
His habits were anything but com
mendable as far as the use of intoXi-
cantS We're concerned, but Capt. Stur-
devant, who was then at the head of
the Allen Mission in that city saw in
the bright-eyed young man something
besides a drunkard. On one particular
evening he found the young .man in
his place of business partially under
the influence Of liquor. Stepping into
the editorial rooms of a morning
paper he borrowed a brush BROOM
which he completely demolished in
Sticking up the young man so that he
should be in presentable condition to
enter Allen Mission. for there was
where he went and took the pledge of
total abstinence. and that brush
broom, vigorously welded by the stur-
dy hand of Capt. Sturtevant, was the
first step towards saving the sheriff
elect of Cumberland county. MI. Pear
son made his maiden temperance speech
that evening in the Mission that for %
years since he has presided over, and
where hundreds of men have made
their start on a life Of total abstinence.
During this quarter of century Mr..
Pearson has probably aided more men
and women, and fed more hungry peo-
pie than any fifty other men in the State
of Maine. Those who have known Mr..
Pearson all these years, no matter what
their belief is in regard to the enforce
ment of the liquor law, believe that he
is an earnest, sincere man, and thous-
ands of people in the lower walks of
life simply worship him for what he
has done to aid them in the hour of
need
Mr.. Pearson has been in great
many trying, critical places, but never
yet has he disappointed his friends,
He now steps into a new sphere of
activity, and those who know him the
best and have trusted him the most
believe that he will acquit himself
honorably and acceptably. A more
brilliant career than has been that of
the Rev. Samuel F. Pearson, sheriff
elect of Cumberland county, it would
be difficult to discover in the State of
Maine. Turf, Farm and Home

opened all along the line, with Dukes
] Ripley and Conner, Lord Howes and
the president conspicuous on the firing
! line. An attempt,,was made to draw
Sir John Sukeforth into the fray, but
he prudently kept behind the works.
j, Lady Sukeforth, on invitation, fired one
well directed shot, that took effect be-
tween the eyes. Duke Ripley thought
| to throw in bomb-shell filled with an old
harness broken up years ago in a neck
! and neck race, never to be forgotten in
the memories of Dale greetings. The
shell exploded at the presidents feet
He picked up some of the scraps, parts
of broken collar in particular formed
them into hand -grenades with cyclone
rapidity and hurled them back at the
Duke, who sought cover, but didn't
have to take his hair in with him, for
it wasn't out; it wasn't in it, as the old
saying goes.
The committee on exercises for next
year reported the following program:
Music by the Club address of welcome
by c. F. Conner; song by c. S. Adams;
reading by Eva Ripley; music by Mr..
and Mrs. John NJ Sukeforth; canto by
the president, and remarks by F. F.

pleasure some Of the oldest residents
of the Dale: Mrs. Solomon Gilman,
Mrs. Taylor Gilman, Mrs Eben Colby,
MI. and Mrs. William Pottle and Frank
Bagley; and the meeting seemed fit

| have deferred stating that the pres
ident in his exordium made brief his
review of current events, but dWelt at
some length on the character and
worth of the oid-time inhabitants of
the Dale. They were indeed men and
women of sturdy mold, but of gentle
heart. Uncompromising honesty was
the measure of their honor The purity
OF their lives had the transparency of
the sunshine and the cleaness of the
sprnging waters.
| see them in the minds eye in the
strength of manhood and womanhood,
building, rearing and sacrificing for God
and country. and in old age, yet erect
and with firm tread with faces upturned
unto the stars, and calmly awaiting the
higher cali. Herein was the Dale, as
great i'll inllabitancy us it was and is
beautiful for situation, the retreat most
sought by us whose childhood and youth
were embosomed therein, when we
would escape for rest and reflection
from the rage of a grim world,

THE SOUTH MoNTvILLE CLUB OF 'oe

y =
October, but the date was cancelled be-
cause of the death of Mrs. Conner, the
mother of the vice president of the
Club, in her s0th year
This year Old Home week was desig-
mated for the meeting and Aug. 10th
was the date. The meeting was held in
Grange Hall, the stage of which was
beautifully decorated with flowers by a
volunteer committee of ladies. The
president came from Bangor, and was
met at the boat in Belfast by his august
chief OF staff, Gen. James Warren Skim
ner, who took him in his private con-
veyance to Searsmont, for visit to the
Phillips ancestral home, from thence
into the Dale of South MOntville, where
the clansmen were assembling. The eye
becomes insensible to gradual changes,
but the presidents long absences made
him quick in the detection of ali things
whether changed or as of yore. Here a
place was much improved, these are
unchanged, apparently, i'll the lapse of
forty years, and another dilapidated
and swinging on the rusty hinge of time.
The ashes of grandfathcr's house were
in the cellar whose walls were laid by
fathers hands. The ancestral trees

A man who does not like bis home

vertisement in "story papers" has had
some interesting experiences, says an
exchange. He learned that by sending
one dollar to yankee he could get a
cure for drunkenness Sure enough
he did. 1t was to take pledge and
keep it," Later on he sent fifty two
cent stamps to find out how to raise
turnips successfully. He fonnd ont

sent thityfour one-cent stamps to Il
Chicago firm for Information as to how
to make an impression. When the
answer came it read "sit down in a pan
of dough-" That was little rough
but he was patient man, and thought
ne would not yet succeed. The next
advertisement he answered read, Chow
to double your money in six months"
He was told to convert his money into
bills, Told them, and he would see his
money double. The next he sent for
twelve useful household articles, and
got a package of needles. He was
slow to learn, so he sent a dollar to find
out chow to get rich"-"Work like
the devil and never spend cent"
That stopped him, but his brother
wrote to find out how to write letter
with out pen or ink. He was told to
use lead pencil. He paid five dollars
to learn how to live without work,
and was told on a postal card to "fish
for suckers as we do"
