The Washington Post expresses
surprise that a Maine guide has just
died natural death at the age Of IS
years. 1t expresses the opinion that
he must have been careful to remain
in the rear of the parties he guidei.
The Maine guide business is becoming
almost as overworked and threadbarH
a subject for the metropolitan joke
makers as the motherin-law and the
poor creditor. The report of the fish
and game commission of Maine for the
year 1906 shows but four fatal shoot
ing accidents during the hunting sea-
son i'm this State, and none of the vic
Tins were guides. If we are to base
our conclusions upon the death rate
the average guide would be in consid-
cradle more danger in his bed than he
would be in the Maine woods.

Lynchings in 1906.

In recent years there has been a
steady decrease each year in the num-
Der Of lynchings which occurred in

were five more than in the preceding
year. The total number Of lynchin;s''

been for criminal assault. One in
Louisiana was for the crime of steal
