THE THREE-MILE LIMIT. disappointment in this eountry but can hardly cawse any surprise. The matter arises from the enforce- ment of prohibition. Large quantities of liquor are being smuggled into this country and they are coming from Brit- ish territory. Vessels are leaving Brit- ish ports for the very purpose of selling, the cargo on the high sea and delivering 1t to those who will smuggle %t into this country. These vessels make the deal and shift the cargo beyond he three- mile limit of this country or at a'point where they are not subject to molesta- tion by the revenue vesseis of this or 1y other country. While there !s mnoth- ing objectionable to the traffic they are it ci w ed e it it the three-mile lmit was ived and such vessels might be seiz- when found. That the British government should be disposed to leave the final dectsion with the colonies themselves is quite In keeping with “expectations, but that, n w of the profitable business that is carried on by the rum runners, can safely be anticipated. The idea of having them stand in the way of busi- ness activities for the purpose of help- ing this country enforce ies faws is mot likely to make a very strong appeal, unless it should be a case where there would be a corresponding contribution on the part of this country, and that doesn’t appear to be the case. If all under prohibition the situation not be so one-sided. r s were would PENALIZING SHORT WEIGHT. Engaged in a little profiteering work the drivers of lce carts in Malden, Mass., have been given the alternative by the a short weight in_any form whether it happened to be ice or any other of the many household necessities that are dis- pensed by weight or measure. There Is nothing more aggravating than to be swindled through short weight. Those Who resort to it are engaged in gross misrepresentation and are determined to collect sums in excess of what they are! entitled, In this instance it would appear that the acts of the drivers were deliberate although it {s to-be realized that in dis- pensing ice ‘it may not be possible to cut it fo an exact ounce without great wastage. Nevertheless that doesn't warrant collecting - for - any more than the amount delivered whether it hap- Pens to be & bit overwelght today and a bit under tomorrow, From the action of the judge in this t a t o s o being able to agree.

Then with a yowl he bolted and hid under a bed. No persua- sion could bring him ow, he- holing firm to the idea ‘that a spot °where rocks arose and swam was no place for a w-abiding ' animal. The fatal spot fascinated him, however, for finally,” on emerging from' his hiding place, he hung around the outskirts of the pergola, Do.s- ed panther-like, stomach-to ‘grownd, one paw lifted, nose twitching, watching the haunt of the monster. “At every splash of water, when tyo sidewheeler moved he would jump merv- ously and sink back ing from tail tip to nose, If he w: 0 the house he continued his pan! stalk- ing, sniffing suspiciously at the most ordinary objects, occasionally stretching out an investigating paw and gingeriy patting whatever it was before passing it z A “When he met the tepnis ball wita which he has aum for months he bris- tled and almost | cat hysteria, bucl- ing like a broneho and spitting at it fercely.

LATHROP. Griswold, Conn., July 27, 1922, Famous Literary Mysteries MERIMEE'S “INCOGNITA?" Among the most interesting of the literary letters of the- world are those of Prosper Merimee, the French writa:. These letters were written between tie vears 1842 and 1870, and it has_alwavs been a mystery as to whom they were addressed, and who was ‘incognita,” whose name they bore. As rgards theidentity of “Incoglta.” and the manner.in which the publication of these letters.was recelved in Paris, it is enough to quote.the opening para- graphs from a paper -suggested by them which appeared in. the London “Quarterly Review” for January, 1874. . The writer says: “No literary event since the war has excited anything like such a sensa- tion in Paris as the publication of the “Lettres a une Inconnue.”” “Hven politics became a second con- sideration for the hour, and Academici- ans or Deputies of opnosite parties might be seen eagerly accosting each other in the chamber or the street to jnquire who this fascinating and pérplexing un- known could be. (Ll “The lstatemenf in the ‘“Revue des Deux Mondes” that ehe was.an Bng- lish woman, moving in brilliant society, was not supported by. eyidence and M. Blanchard, the paniter from which the publishers received the manuscripts, didl most provokingly, &t the very commence- ment of the inguiry; and made o sign. “Some Intimate friends of Nevimee, rendered incredulous. by self-love at not haying been admitted to his confidenc insisted that there was no secret to te. their hypothesis Being that the ‘Incog- nito' was a myth and the letters a re- mance, with which some pretty detalls of actual Hfe has been interwoven io keep up the mystification, “With the evidence before us as we write, we incline to the belief that the lady was French by pirth, and -during the early years of the correspondence in the position of ‘dame de commagni or traveling companion to a Madame M- de Be——, M it ap- pears from one of them that she inher- ited a fortune in 1843, and that she had been constantly identified with a sin- gle lady residing in Paris with two nicces and a character for pendantry fastened to her on the strepgth of the Greek which she learned from Meri- mee.” The mystery which © surrounded the letters written Dby ~ Merimee, their freshness, their epigrammatic bril- liancy, their keen and flashing “wit," the careless, hboldness with which they dash off the portraits of the leading men and women of the day, in English |as well as in French society, make Lihem well worth the while of anyoue fond of sych literature to read.” Merimee was born-in Paris in 1830 and he died -in Cannes on ‘September 25, 1870.

As regdrds the appearafice of the au- thor of this brilliant series of letters, it is only necessary to quote some passages from the “Study” with whioh the distinguished author Henri Taite prefaces these “Letters to an Incg- nita.” - He writes: “I frequently met Merimee in society, a tall, erect, pale man, who, excepting his smile, had very much the appearance of an En:- lishman; ‘at least he possessed that , distant air that In advance Le- pels all familiarity.” Merimee studied and wrote ‘as an amateur, passing from one subject to anather as faney or occasion prompted, giving himself up to no science and using his talent for the illustration <f no_theory, lingual gift and acquired language up to a ripe _age, becoming a philologist to- ward the end of his life. He traveled frequently in all parts of Europe, study- ing the manners not only of good com- pany, but of bad.
