COMPLIMENTS STORY.

To the Editor
Some days ago in your paper |
read with deep interest 'By the Will
of the People, story Of the Pardon
ing Power" written by our accom-
phshed fellow townsman, E. Jouett
Simpson, and published first in the
September issue Of the Sterling Mag
zine was a little t;r;a about
noticing it, fearing | was not the right
one, but | can wait no longer, so
strongly was l impressed.
Mr.. Simpson shows himself an ar
fist in story telling, marshalling his
facts with ingenuity and so cleverly
IL the careful workmanship is hid
under smooth, attractive English and
thrilling interest, so that the casual
reader does not appreciate it unless
his attention is called TO it. This Is
the chief aim of literary art. He
brings on his climax with skill and a
thrill in every line. ! found myself
constantly saying "He has built his
climax too rapidly; he can never sur
pass this effect" but the next para
graph would refute my prophecy; and
the climax, reached in Gov. Stephens
reply to the committee, surpassed al
that had gone before; yet in good
taste and not bit Over-drawn. He
is to be congratulated on his handling
the nameless crime in such a way a.
could not bring Il blush on the fairest
cheek if read aloud; and he teaches
the lesson of popular sovereignty
with force and accuracy. Those who
have read the story will bear me Out
in my opinion that it is one of the
best of its kind that has appeared
Hoping that Mr.. Simpson will con
tinue his literary efforts, for which
he has shown such aptitude. | am,
