Children CRY
FOR FLETCHER'S
CASTOR
FOR VIOLATING SMELT LAW.

John Brown, Carl Christensen and
Omar j. Stevens, of Surry, were ar
raigned before Judge Hall in the Ellis
worth municipal court last Thursday,
charged with violation of the special law
for the protection of smelts in Patten's
bay, Surry. The law prohibits the catch
ing of smelts in any other way than by
hook and line.
The men have been using an ingenious
spear of home manufacture for spearing
fish through the ice. The spear is form
ed of number of goldfish hooks straight
ened and set side by side, and attached to
short bar of iron or brass. To the
spear is attached line for drawing it
back through the hole in the ice after it
has been launched, like harpoon, into a
school Of smelts.
The smelt fishermen at Surry have
noticed from time to time many dead or
injured fish in the water. At first these
were attributed to illegal night seiners
but are now supposed to be due to injur-
les from the spears.
The men waived examination, were
found guilty, and fined $500 and costs
each, which is the minimum fine allowed
under the law. They appealed, and fur
nished bonds for 5000 each for appe ar
ance at the April term of the supreme
court. -Ellsworth American.

THE SKIPPER AND THE SKIPPED. !"
A New Book by Holman r. Day.

view BOOK by norman +. Lay.
Holman F. Day has produced another
side-splitter in his latest book, 1.-THE
Skipper and the Skipped" It is the
shore log of Cap'n Aaron Sproul, re-
doubtable old sailor who thought to end
his days in peace and happiness in quiet
little Maine village.
Here he began his peaceful life as
keeper of the toll bridge, but having
been accustomed to being boss of his
ship during his sailing days he locked
horns with the village bully, who refused
to pay toll for using the bridge.
Cap'n Aaron not only made him settle
but married his sister, and the sailor
who had renowned one troublesome sea
was fairly launched on the preplexing
sea of matrimony.
Then his troubles and fun began in
earnest. His fellow citizens heaped
honors upon him. He was elected chief
of the fire department, and then he be-
came first selectman and was quite as
autocratic in ruling his little town as he
had been as skipper of his ship and crew.
At times his language was picturesque
but full of meaning, and in mixing the
IulcS VI COIuuCG VII Cu6 nigh seas WIN
those of quiet country village many
arose. But the Cap'n usually came out
first best when any question of morals
or politics had to be settled.
The thousands of readers who already
know Mr.. Day through his former books
and poems will at once recognize the
opportunity which this entert ming
writer has to exploit the sayings of such
character as Cap'n Sproul, surrounded
by Maine village people.
Mr.. Day not only knows every back
woods corner of Maine, but he knows it's
! coast, having sailed its picturesque
lengths from his boyhood days He has
, met many man just like the Cap'n and
when he introduces him into the circle,
which is wont to paint the stove in the
village store dark brown while passing
an idle evening, he knows just about
what the conversation will be.
His latest book is little more than
, record of this sort of banter, but there
is laugh or a chuckle between every
line. While he pokes little good
ed fun at some of the institutions which
thrive in country localities in Maine, he
gives fairly truthful picture of what a
! country fire department is.
| He shows how selectmen rule and how
; the w. c. 7. U. works in downing the
rum traffic in a small Maine town.
The Cap'n had able allies in Capt.
Hiram Look and his elephant Imogene,
two characters made familiar to New
! Englanders through Mr.. Days book,
esquire Phin,' and the play, 1.-THE Cir
Gus Man." These cronies were more or
less aliens in the village, and they joined
forces in dealing with the natives. 1t
i was merry war and Day is the ideal
correspondent.
"rhe Skipper and the Skipped" is a
refreshing breeze from Maine, laden
with delightful combination of the
scent of pine and the salt tang of the
sea. 1t is we'll worth reading and will
gain for Mr.. Day an addition to his al
ready large circle of readers. New York

Literary News and Notes.

Since the inception, some years ago,
of Popular Mechanics Magazine, with it's
graphic, concise accounts OF inventions,
discoveries and developments, and its
unusual and convincing illustrations, in
terest in this game has increased rapidly,
and now the spectators and participants
are practically innumerable. About
1,275, 900 of them secure their informa-
ton each month from this source, the
circulation of the Magazine for March
being 255,000, and an average of five
persons reading each copy. The March
number contains 295 articles and 300
illustrations, all SO live and interesting
that it is almost impossible to choose
Features for mention.
In the March Wide World there is an
extraordinary article descriptive Of how
whales are caught with nets near the
Bay of Islands, New Zealand. The
photographs are no less remarkable than
the text, and the sport possesses ele-
ments which probably make it the most
exciting in the world. In the same issue
are fully illustrated articles dealing with
the Cave-dWellers of the Grand Canary,
the Beachcombers of the Pacific Coast,
the Dancers of Yaquiland and the Canni-
balls of the Congo. There are also ex-
citing stories dealing with India, Texas,
San Francisco, Montana, Australia and a
dozen other sections of the globe. The
Wide World, one of the few ten-cent
magazines left, is certainly the most uni
que publication to be found on the news
stands today.
The. Strand Magazine for March con-
tains an interesting and exhaustive ar
ticle on the Associated Press and gives in
detail many astounding facts as to how
the news of the world is gathered. Mr.
Melville E. Stone, the General Manager,
declares that the ga. P" is writing the
history of all nations through its dis
patches. Sir Henry W. Lucy commences
new series of From Behind the Speak
er's Chair, which is amusingly illustrat-
ed by the Punch cartoonist, E. I. Reed.
Other articles include "In a Biograph
Theater, Japanese Flower-Statuary,
''The Stage and the Drawing !"
and 'The Dickens Testimonial" The
last named article includes an interview
with Alfred Tennyson Dickens, son of the
novelist, who has just returned to Lon
don after an absence of forty-fve years.
The fiction is contributed by such we'll
known writer's as w. w. Jacobs, Horace
Annesley Vachell, Morley Roberts, Cald-
we'll Lipsett, and Max Rittenberg.

on the assurance that Japanese immi-

however, not wholly satisfactory re-

which naturally attaches to Oriental

that there are things which the Jap

operations Of emigration companies, the
quiet departure of Japanese without

a swarm of Chinese with their hair cut

NEW MEXICO APPROVED.

President Taft has affixed his off

Mexico on its way TO Statehood. He
approves the constitution as adopted,
and forwards il TO Congress for its ap.
proval also. as provided in the Enabling
Act. 1t is hoped that Congress will
Gi"e this approval the present week.
But if it does not, then the President
will proceed, as authorized by law, TO
authorize tho Governor Of New Mexico

ton Of State officers. And if there

proved her constitution, and rumor has

are hopeful. II would be great relief
of tense situation If Arizona could
get along as far as New Mexico has
