Andy Dodge, The History of Scape
grace.
BY MARK PIERCE PENDLETON

BY MARK PIERCE PENDLETON.
This is distinctively American novel by
we'll known journalist who draws his
characters with free, strong hand. 1t is
praised by William Dean Howells for it's
honest work and fidelity to truth, and
tells with fine realism the scrapes, strug-
giles, and ultimate success of So called
s'wild'' youth, who is, at the same time,
able, manly, and American to the back
bone. Andy's record at school is not one
to be held up for imitation, and yet we
can wish that all lads were as free from
cant and meanness. His experience with
one of his fathers ships introduces us to
characters worthy to be classed with
''Dayid Harum," and the incidental hui
merous descriptions of coast life in a Maine
seaport are wonderfully done. Andy's
start in life upon country paper, and
subsequent literary aspirations, are those
Of actual experience, and equally life like
are the accounts of the State Legislature
and editorial office, giving a view of prac-
teal politics unsurpassed in any work of
fiction. In the end comes an editorial
success that justities the family pride of
the "Dodges," together with the happy
ending of romance that has mingled
love and politics. Our ''scapegrace'
earns his good fortune, and the American
maniness taught by his ''history'' is in

A Cat Obituary.

Much sympathy has been expressed
among the friends OF Mrs. W. Howard
Gardiner of "Edgewater, Camden, who
have just heard of the death of her beauti-
full white Angora cat ''Prince'' was one
of the handsomest cats in Camden, and
his gentle nature made him very much
beloved, not only by the immediate family
but by many others who visited Edge
water" At ''afternoon tea'' Prince was
always an important factor, enjoying his
tea cakes, and seeming to know at just
what hour his friends would arrive. At
times his devotion to his mistress was
most touching. Prince was very discrim-
mating in his likes and dislikes. He had
his faults, but his evil was wrought by
want of thought rather than by want of
heart. He was a thoroughbred as any
one who saw his face would know. He
died of paralysis, a consultation show
ing that his case was hopeless. But there
is another and a better world-even for
cats. Rockland Courier Gazette.

Interesting Relics.

Mr.. c. c. Brooks, a travelling man, has
a bundle Of interesting documents, among
them being a copy of the Massachusetts
Gazette, bearing the date of January 49,,
1862 1t is yellowed with the stains of
time, but we'll preserved and very inter
esting when laid beside newspaper of
the present day, and the queer old ads ON
the last two of its four pages do not look
much like the bargain counter offerings of
the department stores in this year of our
Lord, nineteen hundred.
One other thing that is almost as old and
even more interesting is thirty dollar
Georgia scrip. The agreement on the face
says that the amount shall be paid out of
the monies arising out of the sale of for
feited estates, pursuant to the act of as
sembly passed the fourth day of May, 177S.
A Florida scrip for ten cents, for the re-
demption of which the public lands stood
pledged, is another interesting paper in
the collection of Mr.. Brooks.

DanReroua Kite.

"A 13-year-old- boy at Cateau, France.
while flying kite, had a startling and

The kite, twenty-seven inches long.
had reached a great height when
thunderstorm was seen approaching.
The boy at once began to haul in his
cord The kite, however. was still one
hundred yards or so above the earth
when there came a brilliant fash OF
lightning. Young Jant was thrown
into the air, made two or three somer-
saults, and fell ten or twelve feet
away.
The kite had attracted the electric
fluid, which followed the cord, as in
Franklin's famous experiment. and de-
scended into the earth through the
boys body. Wonderful to relate, the
lad was not killed.
After q little he arose and made his
way home, trembling and crying. The
nails of his left hand, which had held
the string, were turned blue, as II by
terrible bruise, while the fingers were
burned and covered with blistefs. Be

Tho HappI Marriage.

Charles w. Eliot. president Of Har-
ward University. recently addressed the
Dorchester Woman's Club. His sub
ject was .'The Happy Marriage" "Hu-
man love is the main source of our
human IDEALS" he said. For creating
and increasing human happiness the
home counts for very much more than
anything else. Marriage is and always
must be the source Of domestic joys
and happiness. Within fifty years mar
riage has undergone many changes,
but, after all, 1t has only changed with
everything else in the world. The in
tellectual conditions of civilized life
have also changed as the industrial In
dependence Of woman increases. The
happy marriage begins In the attrac-
ton between man and woman which
we call love. 1t is the most admirable
thing In human nature, being an ideal
izing devotion. The young woman MhC
marries for money or position is sacri
ficing the best of life which marriage
affords. The chief conditions of hap
py marriage are health. common intel
lectual interests, and q religious belief
held In common between husband ant
wife"
