A LESSON FROM MARY MCLANE
BY FORREST CRISSEY,
Huthor Of Thonpsons Woods" "The Exi1e,"

Happily the best lesson taught by the
notorious Story of Mary McLane is to be
had without reading the book! But it has a
moral worth the pointing worth wad-
ing through a few chapters of the best
abused volume of the day to get at.
In the fact that this raw and undomesti-
Gated literary effort could find reputable
publisher there is encouragement for bud
ding literary ambition, no matter how iso
lated from influences of culture, how TN
trained in methods or ingenious in outlook.

Approximations That tho King would Not
he Able to Stand the strain on An.
gust Greatly Lesssned.

London, July 30.-The latest and
most reliable information indicates
that King Edwards doctors were not
mistaken in fixing August o as the
date upon which his majesty could
be crowned. The sinister rumors
which have pervaded all classes for
the last few days now appear to have
lost that semblance of probability
which made even the members Of
the cabinet nervous lest another
postponement of the coronation
might be necessitated. The appre.
hension that King Edward would be
unable to stand the strain Of the
coronation ceremony has been great
ly lessened by the announcement
that his majesty is now permitted
to use his feet and, with the aid of
q stick, has done little walking.
Another late telegram from Cowes
saying that nearly all the restric-
tons upon the kings diet have been
withdrawn, has been welcomed as
evidence that the recent ominous de-
auctions were drawn without due
allowance for the doctors extreme
cautiousness.
