think of It. he recalled distinctly the
trend of the burglars inquisition IN
the character OF mr.. Snaith," which
had oil been calculated to discover the
location of The jewels. And, when lie
did recall this fact, and how easily he
had been duped, Maitland could have

first 1t occurred to him. such n feat was
a physical i~mposslbilty, and oven when
ungagged the operation would have
been painful to an extreme.
Slipping the grateful drink which
O'Hagan presently brought him, the
young man pondered the case; with no

English Dislike of Humor.

From Black and White
1t is sometimes matter for wonder
that humorists are allowed to live i'm this
country. Deep down in our English char
acter is conscious dislike of laughter
Laughter is an expression Of emotion, and
we have a horror of il. 1t may be that
this secret objection to the comic muse is
a surviving relic Of the sturdy old Puri-
tanism which has done so much for the
race in many directions and handicapped
1t in others. When Disraeli began to be
prominent in the house of commons II
used to be said of him that. though he
was Il very amusing fellow and made the
house laugfkp he could never hope to take
rank as Statesmen. Lord Randolph
Churchill went through exactly the same
experience In his early days. Few people
would admit that man who expressed
himself humorously had any claim to be
taken seriously.

Authors Homes in Maine.
From the Lewiston Journal.

William Dean Howells has long had
his summer home at kittery, his house
being surrounded by fine old garden, in
which the author has often been seen at
work. while his library is an old barn, set
In the midst of an apple orchard. George
s. Wasson also has beautiful home at
kittery while a little farther up the
coast at York Harbor is the summer
nome of Thomas Nelson Page. This
beautiful place Is situated on a high point
overlooking the sea. and TO York Harbor,
TOO. comes John Fox every summer to be
the guest OF Mr.. Page. At kennebunk-
port one sees the beautiful summer home
of Margaret Deland. and Meredith Nichol-
son. the Indian author also has home
at kennebunkport. OF course there are
many noted writer's at the islands in
Portland harbor. Clara Louise Burnham
who summers at Baiey's Island and
whose splendid books have appealed to
hundreds, is. of course, well known
throughout Maine. While Kate Douglas
Wiggin has not a home on the coast, yet
she. too. prefers the Maine atmosphere,
and her home at Hollis is too well known
to need especial mention. But before
other Maine authors began to realize the
opportunities to be found on our Maine
coast Harriet Beecher Stowe selected
