 Fishermen of Gloucester" by Clarence
 NJ Falt is the title of neW hand somely illustrated book of poems with | decorated cloth covers, which deals with the daily life on sea and on shore of the 1 Gloucester sailors and fishermen and l furnishes a theme of strong individual | ity. The authors keen feeling and l vivid imagination have we'll fitted him for interpreting the character, humor ! and pathos of life in the old Massachu- l setts seashore town. Some of the po- | ems have a merry joyous spirit, others exhibit tenderness and deep pathos, and all have the true poetic touch. The au- thor, a native of Gloucester, writes glowingly and lovingly of this old sea-
 port. In his preface he remarks: "Gloucester harbor, like some mighty arena of old, is terraced with impregna-
 ble bastions of rugged hills and scared and time-furrowed cliffs, land locked
 with it's columning wharYes of massive
 piling, it's picturesque self looming
 above the mast heads of the fleet like
 the faded glories of Patmos of old At
 night it's beauty is unrivalled. Sea
 ward its light towers flash and gleam
 like barbaric Kohnoors, above the sig
 nas of the fieets glowing to port and
 windward, wing landWard with the
 city's brilliant reflections, sparkling
 with the shimmering gloWs of the wharf
 lights, the anchored fleets and the in- verted spangles of the stars of heaven.
 Mir. Falt has shown the true poetic touch and spirit in these verses and dis
 plays a thorough knowledge of his sub
 ject even to the vernacular and techni- calities of the sailors, which are so free ly used that the ordinary landsman finds the meaning frequently obscured'
