In quite another vein from Mr.. Days
homely but taking verse has Mrs.
Martha Baker Dunn of Waterville
written poems for the newspapers that
live in the memory, and that we'll de-
serve collection in more enduring
form. Indeed, we know of no other
Maine author of the present day whose
poems equal Mrs. Dunn's. A book from
her pen was recently published, but not
the long looked-for collection of her
poems. The Living Age of recent
date has this pleasant notice of the
book:
A book to be devoured by the average
girl is Memory Street" by Martha
Baker Dunn. The heroine, who tells
the tale herself, first appears as an in
teresting and intelligent child, with the
determination to avoid the evils of mat
rimony, but her progress is marked by
acquaintance with a number of young
men who in fiction or out of it would
be considered decidedly pleasant fell
lows, and her original intentions under
90 a change. An old mansion house, a
hero who vibrates between England
and America, picnics and parties, de-
lightful fairy god mother and a whole
company Of well-bred people, make the
book pleasant one. But there is also
an earnest note under all the sprightli-
ness that gives it additional worth.

Monthly Mrs. Dunn is winning fresh

LONG PULL FOR THE SHORE
Was Attempted But Only One of the Occu'
pants of the Boat Succeeded In Reach
Ing the shore, the Alliance Lad
Going Down to His Death
Was Well Known.

Alliance, June 2S.-Arthur Hershey
aged IS years, of Alliance, met his death
by drowning at Sandy Lake near Ra-
VIENNA Wednesday afternoon at 2 o'clock,
and the sad affair has cast a gloom over
Alliance where he was universally es-
teemed. Mr.. Hershey left Alliance We'd
nesday morning with a party Of camp
ers for Sandy Lake, and in the after
noon, he, in company with Smith Sal
mon, also Of Alliance, went in bathing.
They rowed out into the lake and in
so doing one of the oars broke. They
then decided to jump into the lake, catch
the boat and push 1t ashore, but as there
was a high wind blowing, the minute
they left the boat 1t was carried away
from them and although they made q
desperate effort to catch it, they were
unable to do so.
They became exhausted before they
could reach the shore and young Her
shey went down in thirty-five feet of
water. Mr.. Salmon's strength held out
somewhat longer until a boat came to
his rescue and saved him from drown
ing. He was brought home to Alliance
Wednesday evening in an exhausted
condition.
Mr.. Hershey's body had not been re-
covered up to dark last night, although
the lake had been dragged all after
noon. He was an exemplary young man,
a graduate Of the Alliance high school
and a teacher in the First M. e. Sun
day school, Of this place. No young
man in the city had more friends, nor
had any one a brighter prospect for a
useful life than he. His death has cast
noticeable gloom over the whole city.
