In sending us copy of "The Camp
on Letter X" the publishers, Lotnrop,
Lee & Shepard Company, 90 feaeral
street, Boston, say: eve are saying
to the public, that anyone findlng MN
sell incapable of taking an interest," ~
this book will be promptly given ticket
10 the Boston Emergency Hospil,!al upon
application to the publishers. ~ IL
safe to say that no such apPicatl0ns
Will be received; and many Will % gao
to know that while this story Is COM
plete in itself there will be two more
books Of series to be published iater.
The Somerville, Mass, journal says;
we have often wondered VINO Woulu
write the book that would win tne Doys
OF today along the same lines that the
books of Elijah Kellogg gained thelr
popularity generation ago. Inc man
has appeared, and is also a graduate OF
BoWdoin college. He is Clarence b.
Burleigh, the well-known editor OF the
Kennebec Journal, Augusta, Me-, and
the son of Ex-Governor Edwin Y. Bur
leigh, the present congressman from MS
district. His first book deals with two
active boys in Aroostook county, close
to the northeastern boundary OF our
country, and where smuggling across
the Canadian line has been prevalent.
These good chums have many exciting
adventures, the most important OF
which directly concerns the Leading
smugglers of the district. Boston;

At the age of SO a we'll known Port
land man, John NJ. Todd, barber and
philosopher, has written and published
book, and the "Reminiscences OF John
NJ. Todd" will be locally famous for
years to come 1t is in its way a great
book The old man has gone through
this life with his eyes open, and has
been much to many men. He is a very
modest man, too modest it may be and
so he did not tell as he might the story
of the Greenback movement in which
he played notable part. Without
John NJ. Todd and Elliott King, the
latter long since dead, there would have
been no Greenback movement at all in
Cumberland county, where it was strong
to the last. Mr.. Todd has in his time
played many parts. When the Green
back movement was at its height, the
late General Samuel J. Anderson said
to him that he ought to have stuck to
his first line that of blacksmith, but
the barber insisted that he was in a
position to study human nature, and
he kept on doing it. Mr.. Todd at Sc is
still strong and vigorous and works
hard every day. He is not concerning
himself about the future but insists
that he ought to live and work until at
least 100 before thinking of retiring.
He is certainly one of the best known
men of Portland and is a unique man
in all respects. He has a host of
friends, but while as has been said:
Almost anything might be expected
in the case of John M. Todd" still be-
ginning literary career at Sc is, to say
the least, rather out of the ordinary.

proves that he belongs to vigorous race,
but such wonderful preservation, mental

due to his active life and frequent changes,
often visiting friends in different places
which he and they intensely enjoy. We
