 MOUTHS ENCOUNTER" By Compton Mackenzie. D. Appleton X.
 Co.,, publishers, New York
 It wasn't so very many moons ago that Compton Mackenzie made himself known to the literary world by very clever novel of stage life entitled "CarnivaJ'
 He comes again before the public in a charming story called Youths Encoun- ter" which has been we'll received and well thought of by the discriminating.
 The adolesent mind is the subject of this new and very readable book and MT. Mackenzie has certainly gone into it with tremendous amount of knowledge of the boy mind and has woven about the circumstances of the youthful hero, a most absorbing story.
 The boy Michael Is very imaginative. very keen and very discerning, but some thing of dreamer.
 All his playmates are noisy, rollicking boys, but he has little way with him, a sOTt OI llSlSllt lllio tiililSo tiiot uOSS hct seem to affiliate with them exactly.
 From the time of his infancy he had ambtion--an ambition to excel, and as he grew and went to oxford his ambitions grew.
 He had the ambition to be a good "cricket player and later he had the ann bition to be an army man. and he became ambitious to be a poet. tempted by the verse of Veriaine.
 He fell in love with a silly, foolish girl (why do nice boys like this young Michael always fall in love with brain less girls?) and so through his entire young life we have him never for mo- ment dull, but always the interesting, at- tractive boy eternal-whom the whole world loves

all interestingly portrayed. and those who do not read it will miss a treat.
 In Initiation Father Benson has given us a remarkably powerful story. Sir Nevill was by no means wicked or hard-hearted, but brought up in a sheltered, pampered, highly cultured existence. he unconscious ly became an egoist turning from his church and from all unpleasantnesses in life. How blow after blow was required to redeem this man-his broken engage ment to a girl, who, though herself a selfish type, succeeded in making Sir Nev- i'll for the first time conscious of his own self-absorption, his physical inheritance from wild father, the unremitting lRe and attention of his devoted aunt-n0w these and more finally completed Sir New ills '1niation' forms a story intense, thought-compelling and broadening to the appreciative reader.

 The novelized form of the play is far better though.
 It gives the author bigger scope and the story is really very clever.
 It has to do with young barrister- poor, but brilliant and determined to make his way in the world.
 He falls in love with a girl but nothing comes of 1t. because he IS too poor and they separate and each goes his own way.
 Years afterward. the young English girl goes to India and there meets and marries lon the rebund'' so to speak, a brute of a compatriot who is high in the British service in Indian.
 He is bad tempered, bad hammered and treats his young wife outrageously.
 She endures the torture as long as she can and finally shoots and kills her husband
 She is brought to trial at Bombay and 'fThe Witness for the Defence,'' Is the young fellow who years before loved her and whom she loved.
 The scene is tremendous one in which the young barrister scores a great hit, not only in behalf of his client, but in his own behalf as with the criminal.
 The whole story Is a thrilling one and once you pick up the book 1t Is hard to put it down unfinished

 "The people get what they want when they want 1t enough. but they can't control the price they have to pay" This remark of Jane Reptoh to Harry Thresh is the key-not of "The Witness for the Defence"
 It Is the story of what comes when Thresk sacrifices Stella Derrick in order he wants, and in 1t Harry Thresk and Stella Derrick meet, to part for years. The next is camp in an Indian jungle. where he finds her again among circum- stances that strike him cold with horror.

PINKLETS
The Laxative That Really
Does Correct Constipation.

Constipation means that poisonous ma.
terials which should have been expelled
from the body are being retained. At
first there may be only feeling OF full
ness and discomfort but soon the appetite
fails, the digestion becomes disordered,
the tongue coated, the breath offensive
and there is bad taste in the mouth.
The first step in correcting constipation
is to stop the use of strong purgatives
Substitute for them the mild, non-gnping
but effective laxative pills, Pinklets.
Strong, harsh purgatives are OF little
value in the treatment Of constipation be-
cause they wear out the muscular activity
of the bowels and finally lessen their sem
sibility to even the strongest stimulation.
The continued use of purgatives always
brings on chronic constipation instead OF
correcting it. With Pinklets you need
have nosuch fear. They assist the bowels
and liver just enough to get them in pro-
per working order. Any druggist can
supply you with Pinklets at 25 cents per
bottle. Write today to the Or. Williams
Medicine Co., Schenectady, N. Y, for 9
copy of the Pinklet book which tells all
about the treatment Of constipation.

u. 5. District Court Decides that Vessels
Cannot be Kept Waiting for Berths

The United States District court has
rendered decision in Massachusetts of
the utmost Importance to coastwise ship
ping, in the cases of Burton M. WATSON
of Calais, against Stetson- Cutler & Co.
of Boston, and of Everett W. Leonard
of Five Islands, Me-, against the William
G, Barker Co. of Boston. Carver,
Wardner, Cavanagh & Walker were the
attorneys for the plaintiff and won the
decision.
The court defines certain limitations
upon the custom of waiting turn for
berth. In effect the court holds that a
vessel cannot be kept waiting at the
wharf Indefinitely while vessels ahead in
berth are discharged according to the
convenience of the consignee, but is en-
titled to have such vessels as well as her.
self furnished plenty of space on the
wharf to discharge in and given diligent
dispatch in unloading.
Further the case decides that pro-
vision for customary dispatch" in dis
charging,if coupled with provision that
lay days shall commence from the time
the vessel reports herself ready to dis
charge, cannot be construed so as to
make the vessel wait her turn at the
wharf, in accordance with the custom OF
the port, but that under such circum-
stances the vessel must be given berth
when ready, and her cargo then received
at the customary rate.

Area" 1t is proposed also to make it a
game refuge for the preservation of the
fauna of the eastern mountains. 1t is
particularly well suited to this purpose
since it is already well stocked with
game and fish, including deer, turkey
and pheasant; and in the streams rainbow
trout and brook trout, with which they
have been systematically stocked from
year to year.
On approximately four-ffths of the
area there is a timber contract which
provides for the moving of certain por-
tions of the merchantable stand. 1t is
already provided, however, that this re-
moval shall be in accordance with tt e
best forestry practices. SO that there is
not only no danger of forest destruction
but provision is made for natural re-
stocking which should be an improve
ment on the present stand. The area
contains improvements in the form OF
buildings, roads and trails, which will
greatly help in the administration of the
forest by the government.
Members of the commission look upon
this as the best purchase which has yet
been authorized, because the forest is in
the finest possible condition and less than
three-tenths of one per cent can be
ciassed as burned-over land. The price
too, is lower than the average paid for
all lands which have been acquired here
tofore.
With this purchase, and with others
just approved, the total area approved
for purchase under the Weeks law in the
eastern mountains is LOTT, 600 acres.
The officers of the commission are the
secretaries of war, agriculture and the
interior, Senators Gallinger of New
Hampshire and Smith of Maryland, and
Congressman Lee of Georgia and Hawley
Of Oregon.
