TRUST OK'S WATERS-PIERCE SALARY LIST --——--- —e.- —_—--- Manager Ackert Testifies Ad- vances in Employes’ Pay Are Approved by Standard Oil.

COMPETITION CONTROLS Says Prices Are Low Where There Is Rivalry, Otherwise They Are High.

SUPPLIES 90 PER CENT Waters-Pierce Has Almost All Oil Trade of Missouri, Says the Manager.

After a rigid cross-examination last- {ng all of Friday, Charles P. Ackert, general manager of the Waters-Pierce Oil Co. finaliy admitted that the price of ofl in St. Louis and Missouri is de- termined by the presence or absence of competition. Attorney-General Hadley considers Ackert’s testimony as very helpful to his case. The witness said that where there Was competition the prices were lower than at points where the Waters-Pierce company had no competition, giving Casper, Mo., as a town for illustration. At Casper the price was recently 8 ¢ents a gallon as a result of the Stand- ard Oil entering the town in August @nd soliciting business. The Standard has withdrawn from Casper the Wa- ¢ters-Pierce company having complained that it was encroaching upon its terri- tory. At other places where there is ho competition the price is now 9% cents a gallon. Earlier in the day the witness admit- ted that the Standard Oi! controlled the | ~vaters-Pierce, the Republic and the In- ternational Oil companies and fixed the gelling prices of the subsidiary com- panies. After the prosecution had finished the hearing of the testimony of Ackart, ad- until next gournment was taken Wedneeday, when it will be resumed gt the Southern Hotel and the defense’s testimony concluded. ert testified that all advances of norte to agents or office men were gubmitted to him first, then to President Andrew M. Finlay and then to the Btandard Oll headquarters at °6 Broad- New York. whe witness admitted that he knew at the Standard Oll owned stock in e Waters-Pierce company prior to une, 1902, when he was made man- ae itorney-Genoral Hadley called at- ention to the fact that Ackert testified Paes the legislative committee in Feb- ruary, 1995, that he did not know the Standard O1l owned stock of the Waters- ‘Nerce. He replied that he must have | mot known it then. The witness said that some tank sta- ‘tions were constructed without first sub- mitting the question to the Standard of- fice in New York. He referred only to emergency cases and small stations. Ackert could not remember whether he instructed his agents to say that the Waters-Pierce was not a part of the Standard Oil. How Prices Were Advanced. Ackert testified that the prices of oil! to the trade was increased when an advance was made in the purchase: price to the Waters-Pierce regardless of | hether the company had purchased the oll at lower prices for future delivery. i|half mast NORTH WIND A SUNDAY CALLER + South Breezes Will Make a Sharp Shift, Says Man.

Inventor Kills lls Sweetheart and Self Over Disagreement. Special tro the Post-Dispatch CHICAGO, Nov. 10.—The young wom- tn shot and killed last night in Lincoln Park was identified today as Augusta Rah, a governess. The slayer, who in- stantly committed suicide. was recog- nized as Charles Grant. He had been attentive to Miss Rah. Upon his body was found a note reading: “‘“My life is wrecked and a woman has done it.’ A woman friend of the victim says that Grant was an inventor, and had been pressing Miss Rah for money to finance one of his inventions. She gave him some money and then refused to invest further in the scheme. She met him in the park last night by -appoint- ment. They quarreled over money and a love affair, and the tragedy quickly followed. GIRL PAYS ELECTION BET. Wheels Victorious Youth and Then Kisses Him. ROCHESTER, N. Y., Nov. 10.— Jennie F.

SENATOR CALLED BOLTER Denies Accusation and Refuses to Resign, Saying Jour- nalist ‘Hit’? Him.

The Demo- yote ot NEW YORK, Nov. 10. cratic State Committee, by a to 13, adopted a resolution providing for an investigation of the conduct of the Kings County Democratic organization, | headed by State Senator Patrick H. Me- Carren, during the campaign just closed. A> Gelegation of Brooklyn Democrats, heated by Patrick Hayes, Warden of the Kings County Penitentiary and a former leader of one of the assembly districts included in Senator McCarren’s ; senatorial district, preferred charges against the Senator and the Kings County Committee. It was alleged that McCarren had opposed the head of the ticket and urged his followers to do the same. The State Committee also took to defend any action that may be taken by the Republicans to overthrow the pluralitics which seem to exist in fa- vr fF the Democratic candidates on the State ticket from Lieutenant-Gov- ernor down. iewis Stuyvesant Chanler, the Demo- craiic candidate for Lieutenant-Gover- nor, Wiliam.

Democratic National Commit- teemean, were among those present at the committee meeting. MeCarren Called Republican. 1 Warden Hayes and his associates re- mained with the committee for 40 min- utes and during that time there were frequent outoursts of applause, 1.i delegation asked that Senator McCar- ren be relieved from further service on the committee. It was declared by the spokesman that ‘“‘McCarren’s place is with the Republicans.” The petition which was presented de- Clared among other things that McCar- ren openly advocated the election of the nominees of the Republican party and vsed the electton machinery and the Kings County committee to accomplish the defeat of the regular Democratic candidate fer Governor. It was asserted that the action of Sen- ator McCarren and the Kings County committee ‘“‘destroved the Democratic organization of the county and made that organization simply an annex or ally of the Republican organization.” In conclusion the petition asked that mot only that Senator McCarren. but t.at other imernbers of the committee from Kings County be removed. Senator MeCurren declared in reply that ai a meeting of the Kings County committee he had said some. things about Mr. Hearst. Stilt Against Hearst, “Ana if the opportunity presents,” he deciared, “I shall repeat them. When a fellow hits yvoyu on the jaw I do not believe in turning the other cheek. I believe in striking k Straight from the shoulder. If on an- other occasion I could make my state- ments regarding Mr. Hearst more em- phatic, I should certainly do so. “Mr. Hayes, who is here opnosing me, never voted a Democratic ticket in his life. I have never voted a Re- publican ticket. I deny that I op- ToOsed the ticket of the Buffalo con- vention. As to Mr. Hearst. I regard him as the bolter, not myself.

So the Maitre’s voice shook at exactly the right place--the place where (‘count Boni’s ereditors had invaded the family resi- dence and had summoned the Countess Boni to show them his visible effects. “There.” of Castellane ancestors and there’s the baton of a Mar- she said, “are some portraits his shal of France once borne by a Count de (‘astellane.

This was the point at which his voice shook, as his emotion overcame him. An American lawyer might have groaned aloud under stress of the same emotion, a French maitre never subjects the niceties of his art to overstrain. He may have choked very slightly as he faced the court and pulled out the tremolo stop for the climax. Then his grief overcame him and brought him to a full stop at exactly the right place, It was touching, but here in St. Louis we are disposed to grow proud of our countrywoman, the If she has really made up her mind to cut the the (‘ountess, Count Bom off forever from usufruct of

LOVE'S BEATITUDES. A Sermon Series Written for the Post-Dispatch By Nixola Greeley-Smith.

Blessed Are the Pure in Heart, for Love Stays With Them Longest.

much is to. be uncomfortable, and, therefore, to be avoid- ed. “Whenever I find that a woman is beginning to care for me too much, or that I am in danger of caring too much for her, I flap my wings and fly away,” said a fatuous apostle of this cult to me the other day. HIS is a beatitude of | love which in various phases comes to every one, but tarries with very few. For only the pure in heart, the unspoiled, the un- sophisticted, do not fall vic- tims to the modern doctrine of substitution, which makes Edwin, if he cannot have Angelina, live happily ever after with Evelyn, and com- pels Angelina, if Harold cannot see her merits, to de- vote herself to spending Reg- inald’s income with happy unconcern. Only They tion from And from the point of view of comfort and safety his method has everything to recommend it. Nevertheless, the person capable of f6l- lowing it is absolutely in- capable of love, for love is ab- solutely without calculation, and in its exalted and lasting meaning only the pure in heart understand it. In love, as in everything else, we find what we look for. The pure heart is without suspicion, and. therefore, is seldom furnished a rea- son for it. The trusting woman is not half so likely to be disillusioned in love as the more sophisticated and suspi- cious woman who meets trouble’ more than half way. Cupid being of the masculine persua- sion, stays only where he is made com- fortable. And his favorite abiding place is the trusting heart. Therefore are the pure {in heart most blessed, for love stays with them longest of all.

the pure in heart are constant. alone live up to the best defini- of love ever written. These lines a Shakspearean sonnet: “Love is not love Which alters when it alteration finds Or bends with the remover to remove. Oh, no! It is an ever fixed mark That looks on tempests and Is never shaken; It is the star to every wandering bark Whose worth’s unknown, although his height be taken.”’ To the average person of today love of this sort is.a thing to be written of by novelists and sung by poets, but to be lived only by fools. They have learned the philosophy of selfishness, whose first principle is that to love too

A Contented Working Girl. To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. Upon picking up the Post-Dispatch on Wednesday evening, about the first thing I noticed was ‘‘Elizabeth: Magie.’’ I am a “working girl’’ myself and only average—say $1 per day—and I don't feel the least inclined to throw down my pen and run around and inquire into other girls’ business, trying to stir up strife and causing hard thoughts and trouble at home. I am only 19 and have been at work three years. I have good clothes, silk coat and waist, got the privilege of attending church and have a holiday at home. My employer is kind and good to me. I also live with a wid- owed mother and one brother, and have a comfortable home and go out when I feel like it. I think the mafority of girls let their brains run too much on going. Christ said, ‘‘Blessed are the peacemakers, and cursed are they that stirreth up strife.””. I think Elizabeth Maggie should go back to her typewriter and keep quiet. d. ‘ee Just Across the Way. To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. If the lady mentioned in the ‘‘In Mis- souri’ article, who inquired for seats in the fourth row and was informed by the aggrieved ticket seller that parquet seats were ‘‘all sold,’’ had visited the newsstand of either the Southern Hotel or the Planters the chances are 100 to 1 that she would have secured seats in the fourth row of the parquet, and it she had changed her mind as to location aud decided on the fifth, sixth or any other row in the parquet, she would no doubt have been accommodated at either one of the hotels, provided she paid the additional charge of 4 to 58 cents per ticket. This is rank injustice. MORE FAIR PLAY. Collectors and Others. To the Editor of the Péat-Dispatch.

THE LITTLE WOMAN. A Tiny Comment for the Post-D1spatch By Betty Vincent.

HERE was a funny story in the papers the other day of a tall bride- groom who made up his mind at the altar that his five-foot bride was too short for him and fled. Later he returned repentant, and they are still living happily ever afterward, so far as we know. There is hope in this story for the tall a fashiona- ble type already that she may not think she requires hope. But you will no- tice that, while the tall bridemaid maintains her supremacy, the reign of the little bride is undisturbed. Men undoubtedly love littl women, however much they may admire big ones. Littleness apvpeals to their protective instincts, and the love a little woman inspires seems to have an added element of tenderness. The little girl envies her larger sisters when she sees them swaggering along Broadway or the avenue. But she has no reason to, for man’s preference’ gives her the right of way up the bridal aisle. T girl. She is such

CITY OF 5000 BOYS OYS are to have a city all their own at Lake Winona, Ind.—a community B of 500 persons, ranging in age from 11 to 17 years, organized as a complete municipality, with wards, City Council, Mayor amd administrative depart- ments. Such is the plan for a boy Chautauqua to be associated with the Winona Assembly, which has been formed by philanthropists of that body. The movement was started a short time ago in Indianapolis at a meeting at- tended by 30 prominent business and professional men connected with the Winona Assembly and Winona Technical School. J. M. Studebaker of South Bend is chairman and Judge Willis Brown of the Juvenile Court of Salt Lake City, director of the venture. The 5000: boys, who otherwise would spend their vacation time in sweltering cities, will be taken the Indiana Lake and taught co-operation and discipline, together with the more academic subects of the lecture room.—Chicago Record-Herald. ———— GREWSOME SMUGGLING T Is the custom in certain parts of Greece to carry bodies to the grave in | coffins which allow the face to be visible. The fashion is said.to have originated when the Turks dominated the land. At that time arms and ammunition were being constantly distributed to the Greek populace in a way which baffled the Turkish officials until « coffin which was being escorted by an apparent mourning procession was found to contain not a body, but weapons. An order was then promulgated that bodies were to be borne to the grave only on open litters or in coffins without lida, as —

| avenue is the place I have reference to. Yesterday was pay-day there, and I saw two money sharks, four fakers, a cheap jewelry man and a priest. A motorman told me it was an every pay-day thing to have them there staring at one as he drew his pay. Is that right? Do these people think the motormen and conductors have no other use for their money than to give it to them and make their own families do without? An. « honest, hard-working man I would lke to see this thing stopped. A WORKINGMAN. An East St. Louis Crusade. To the Editor of the Post-Dismatch The Post-Dispatch is to be congratu- lated for the part it took in bringing about the- defeat of corrupt, unworthy men in the late election. A paper like yours is needed to take up the cause of good government and law and order in behalf of our sister, East St. Louls. W. E. Rutledge, a fearless, high-mind- ed man of high ideals, has been fight- ing a good fight against heavy odds, to purify conditions in that city. All lovers and advocates of good gov- ernment and fair play should rally to the support of Mr. Rutledge and vigor- ously prosecute the campaign against the lawlessness and corruption in East St. Louis. His ts not a personal fight, but is one for the uplifting and better- ment of the people. GOOD GOVERNMENT. Why Selph Was Defeated. To the EBditor of the Post-Dispatch. Mr. Coudrey's vote over Col. Selph for Congress in the Twelfth Congres- sional District is 738. This is claimed as a Republican vic- tory. The fact is. Deniorcraue \otes and the opposition of the Post-Dispatch to Selph elected Coudrey. | Had Selph kept uo io the State ticket of his party, on which there was no scratching for judges of the. Supreme Court in St. Loults, his vote would be 11,401 and Coudrey’s vote, compared with his party State ticket, 10,53. This would be a majority of 876 votes for Selph. But as it is, Coudrey received 678 Democratic yotes and 198 Democrats failed to vote for Congressman, thereby electing him. The ‘TCweifth Is as strone!ty Democrstic as ever. The responsibility of the de- feat of the Democratic candidate this time lies between the Post-Dispatch and Democratic voters—largely to the Post- Dispatch. The district could have been carried by a Democratic candidate, not opposed by the Post-Dispatch, by at least 2000 majority. Weak-kneed Democrats, led the Post-Dispatch, are alone nsible for the Twelfth District being misre resented in the next Congress. No credit is due the Republicans of the dis- trict for this result.

THE BOOK CLUB / Wherein Are Discussed the Latest New Books and Their Makers. | |

b ; . , ’ k ITH a serenity of countenance that may have been due to the tran- quilizing influence of the first Choral Symphony concert of the season, given at the Odeon. the preceding evening, the members of {the Once-a-Week Book Club assembled to discuss “A Lady of Rome,” the new _F, Marion Crawford novel. | “I always take up a book by Mariou Crawford,” said the Artist, “with a comfortable certainty of entertainment. He knows his trade thoroughly—he has always seemed to me to work at it for the sheer love of it. and the people to whom he introduces you are invariably well worth meeting.” “I have heretofore felt precisely the same way toward Crawford,” chimed m the High Schoo] Teacher, “but now, for the first time, | must confess to having been a bit disappointed. ‘A Lady of Rome’ doesn’t impress me as being quite up to his standard. Its scenes are laid in the old, familiar atmosphere, the aristocratic society of Kome, and the people are about the same in quality, but they’re not quite so vital and individual, and the dramatic complications are not so well devised.” “It struck me that the plot was rather a clever one,” protested the Literary (yrain Broker. “One is deeply interested in the outcome of the story of that delightful Contessa Maria di Montalto, married to a man whom she dovsn't love and loving, from before the days of her marriage, the dashing and devoted Baldassare del Castiglione, of the Piedmont Lancers. Their piteous little effort to indulge in a platonic love affair, after a guilty love of some years, the in- nocence of the Contessa Maria in believing that she could kiss Baldasare and permit him occasionally to kiss her without danger, creates some decidedly ab- sorbing situations. And, finally, the stealing of Baldassare’s letters to Ler by the villain Schmidt, his use of them for blackmailing purposes, the tragedy made imminent by the aroused jealousy of her husband, the clever manner in which Schmidt was foiled by Baldassare del Castiglione—I should say that all this is decidedly dramatic material!” 5 al “What an astonishing blunder the author has made, though,” broke in the Old Playgoer, “in this very detail of the foiling of Sshmidt by del Castiglione ~-the trick that rendered the letters valueless for blackmailing purposes.” “What is the blunder?” asked the former Congressman. “I must confess ‘hat. it escaped my attention.” “Why, you remember,” explained the Old Playgoer, “that Schmidt is rep- resented as having stolen seven letters written by del Castiglione to the Contessa Maria, which, after having had them photographed, le returned to the casket from which he had taken them. Then he writes to the Contessa, demanding 150,000 francs and threatening, otherwise, to publish the photo graphs of del Castiglione’s letters to her. Whereupon she tells her husband, and also that fine old Capuchin Monk, and the latter goes to del Castiglione und places the matter in his hands, with the understanding that he is to save the Contessa.” “Well?” queried the former Congressman. “Well,” continued the Old Playgoer, “it is then that del Castiglione, by “~yt shrewd and plucky maneuver, forces a signed statement frum Schmidt's ‘waming-house confederate to the effect that the letters wera forgeries. But how are the letters described in this statement? Why, net as letters from del Castiglione to the Contessa, as which they have been frequently described, but as letters from the Contessa to del Castiglione, as which they have never -vuee figured in the story. And, to emphasize the blunder, the signed state- ment is made to specify that the forgery was rendered possible because ‘Orlando Schmidt had surreptitiously obtained specimens of her Excellency’s hand- writing.’ ” “J think you’ve missed a line or two in reading the story,” suggested the High School Teacher. “Here—just following the signed statement—we find, He had suspected Schmidt of having really forged such words as she would never have written, she thought, and he had in some way extracted the truth from the man who signed the paper. In that case her danger had been even yreater than she had imagined.’ Doesn't that seem clear to you?” “No—i puzzled over it in reading the story,” replied the Old Playgoer. “Sehmidt’s demand for money was made on del Castiglione’s letters. If he was planning to use forged letters purporting to have been written by the Contessa to del Castiglione, there should have been some dark hint, a veiled threat, of this further intention. Besides, how could he pretend to have ob- tained such letters, not having such access to del Castiglione’s belnogings as to those of the Contessa, in whose household he was employed? Love letters from the Contessa Maria to del Castiglione would have been guarded by the latter as the most sacred and inviolate of secrets—and remember. always, that Schmidt would have had no means of getting at them. And the blackmailing value of such letters lay not in their publication, which would have brought Schmidt no money, but in the use of them as_a threat to extort money from the Contessa, yet he gives not the faintest intimation of having anything but the letters to the Contessa in his possession—or their photographs, rather. The whole thing strikes me as being the lamest. and most confusing of climaxes.” “It impressed me in very much the same manner,’ agreed the Kindergarten Director. “And I’m still in doubt as to whether it’s an absent-minded blunder or a oase of weak dramatic construction.” “Anyway,” said The Girl, “the story ends happily.” “So it does,” smiled the former Congressman. “But, like the High Schoo] } | not too old to like stories, nor too | young to like pictures. The first is by | Allen Ayrault Green, illustrated in col- als by Frederick Richardson, and the / second is by Blanche Elizabeth Wade, with color fillustrations by Blanche Ostertag. They are both Christmas books extraurdinary, designed for more pretentious gifts than the aver- age holiday book. (A. CC, McClure & Co.)

One decided novelty is that each spread of the book opens to a full page picture, while the opposite page tells the single adventure illustrated, there being no turning of the pages to com- plete the subject of the artist. ‘Lazy John” sees dwarfs, giants and other juvenile favorites in his travels before he becomes a work-seeking hero. The story lies between the time he leaves the home woodyard singing: O,. where is the land I have seen in dreams, Where toffee is followed by chocolate creams?

HOLIDAY édition of that excel- A lent children’s favorite, ‘Five Little Peppers and How They Grew,"’ by Margaret Sidney, has been issued. It is illustrated in colors by Hermann Heyer, who has given us charming pictures of the homely but homelike surroudings in which children of the Pepper variety grew up and formed their characters. The multitude of little people who love Phronsie and Joel Pepper and the rest of Mrs. Sid- ney’s creations will no doubt hope for the other books of the series as hand- some a dress as has been given the first. (Lothrop, Lee & Shepard.) SECRETS OF AUTOS. HERE are many persons, not own- 7 ers of automobiles and with little prospect of having one, who are curious nevertheless te know about 4 car’s mechanism. All the essential varts are inclosed and one can learn nothing from: observation. What is a canbure- tor? How does a gasoline engine oper- ate? How are the different speeds reg- ulated? What's that honeycomb ar- rangement in front? What is a spark plug? Everyone has heard these queés- tions asked and not even motorists can always answer them satisfactorily. “kK rausz’'s A B C of Motoring” not only explains all these and many other things clearly to the layman, but gives much conerete information for experts—for instance, racing statistics, records, au- temobile laws in all the States, license fees, regulations for foreign travel, makers of cars here and abroad, and much other data of real value. Many iustrations, beautiful orint and hand- scme binding make this an attractive volume. It would be appreciated by any number of persons as & Christmas gift. (Laird & Lee.) THE LOVE OF GOLD. OT only in the heydey of piracy N en the Spanish ‘main may we find material for romances where- in the search for gold is the ruling motif. The scenes of “The Treasure Trail’ are laid in Lincoln, Neb., Omaha, Si. Louis, Nashville and the east coast of Africa between Madagascar and La- renzo Marquez. The time is the close of the Boer War. The persons involved are men of today, common men-—such as you and I know—but hard at core and as unscrupulous as ever sailed under the black flag. Frank lh. Pollock has written a swift-moving story, with good description, good character painting and husband to marry Jerningham, on the ground that the Catholic Chureh does not recognize divorce. we are face to face with the great motive of the book. Is the Cathclic dogma in conflict with the most s#iritual laws of our bei g? This is the turning point In the story, for here the decision she makes and the future course derived from it lead her from misery to degradation. ‘Traffic’ is a finely serious work. (G. W. Dillins- ham Co.) A LITERARY TONIC. RIP-ROARING romance of the A Middle Ages, moving to the music of clashing swords and clanging armor, is “Under Castle Walls,’’ by H. C. Bailey. It’s a sanguinary thing, t) be sure, but, when vou finish with it, you fee! that not a drop too much of blood has been spilt. It deserves a plice alongside ‘“‘The White Company.’ Som- of the scenes are as thrilling and are worked out as finely as anything one finds in Dr. Doyle’s medieval master- plece. It is a story of the time when Italy was split up into petty prince pa i- ties, whose rulers found their c. fief amusement in fighting each other. Mr. Bailey is thoroughly saturated with th: atmosphere of the period and his work is not merely entertaining, but is an historically accurate picture of the life of that day. It is written in a scinti lat- ing style that takes hold in the first chapter and doesn’t let go unil all, the villains are dead and all the good ar2 married. As a literary tonic, it's wort? & dozen of the average modern society romances. (D. Appleton & Co.) LEGAL CHICANE. HESE are parlous times for our old social system. Nearly everybody is taking a whack atit. Henry S. Wil- cox is the latest recrult to the reform army. In ‘“‘A Strange Flaw’’ he bitterly Satirizes the money-madness that ha; Seized the nation. The gist of his ser- mon on national righteousness is that the man who steals a railroad ts just as much a thief as he who steals a loaf of bread. His guilt is greater because of the enormity of his crime and his punishment should be proportionately heavier. Mr. Wilcox builds his story about some railroad promoters who plan to steal several counties on an alleged flaw in phe Government patent. Every- thing comes their way til the aforesaid flaw, which has been played by the rich highwaymen as a_ punctuation mark, is declared by a court to be only a fly-speck. The author, who is a law- yer, has a fine fling at these members of his profession who thrive on this sort of chicanery. (Thompson & Thomas.) WOOD AND WORLD. HEN St. Paul said, “This one thing I do,” he said that which we wish many of our favorite writers might repeat after him, so that men like Owen Wister would not skip from “The Virginian” to “Lady Balti- more,’’ and people like Charles G. D. Roberts would not bound from the heart of the ancient wood tnto the old, old heart of the ancient worid. as he has done in his new book, “The Heart That Knows.”’ Him havd we followed over pleasant trails, to find the charm of the wil- derness and to know the fragrance of the spruce and pine: and {tt ts pretty tough, egad, to swing in” behind him and find ourselves led into paths less pleasant—paths in which we are not sup- posed to be pleased, but only interested. For disappointment sheer and s{mple a Roberts reader who consumed ‘In the Heart of the Ancient Wood,” ‘The Kindred of the Wild’ and “Red Fox,” and ended them crying for more, could how! like a wolf over “The Heart That Knows.” Not that it is not a tense tragedy and admirably written, but be- cause it isn't about the sert of’ thing that the Roberts cult expects of Roberts. He has written here a story which reads well, but smells bad. It concerns the love of a young pair on the ‘shore of the Bay of Fundy, their sins and their neighbors’ sins and how two badly

Back to the woods, Mr. Roberts, and stay {n t the tall uncut. There are other people of less talent who can do these moral analyses and who can’t do better things that you were wont to do. (L. C. Page & Co.) A HANDICAPPED BOOK. T is a pity that George Carling did | not select a better title than “Richard Eliott, Financier,” for his story of the wolf in sheep’s clothing. Episodes of the story have appeared in the Saturday Evening Post and met with warm appreciation, but the con- tinuing and concluding portions were necessary to the proper understanding of Mr. Carling’s creation. Richard El- liott is a true villain; he has no sense of real rigtt or real wrong; his only measure of conduct is h' self and his interests. Because a large body of persons make much of moral precepts and religion, Richard Elliott makes much of moral precepts and religion. He quotes.from the Bible freely and adapts texts to suit his ends. His financial schemes, which win for him large sums of money, sound romantic until! we recall their paralleis from thé history of our own city. In the ex- ploitation of an Indiana city’s street railway system, we see the likeness to our own United Railways and might follow the analogy until we had found Richard Elliott’s twin in its organizer. The strength of the picture Mr. Carling has drawn impeis us to regard his title as calamitous, for such a title cannot attract buvers. of whom there should be many. (L. C. Page & Co.) SHOOT THE HAT!

The story how a man of idea!s and poetic tenden- cies; resolved to be more practical, made himself a steel-lined beaver hat which so fitted down upon his head as to cut off the idealistic and develop the practical. From a voet he became a nan of affairs. He became cruel and grasping. His wife, whom he no longer loved, died of erilef. His eldest son, who inherited his wealth, on condition that he would ‘wear the hat for a year, was transformed from a good boy to a devil. Finally the young scamp’s brotl.er broke the evil spell by shceot- ing the hat. Satan’s horns fall off— curtain. Mr. Dodge writes well, but his cenception of his story is too much of a tax upon one’s leniency with phan- Grown-ups look from effect tack to more practical cause than children’ do.

There would be a better fellowship among men if they were all fond of hunting and fishing in the right way. Ducks are of two kinds—ducks and trash ducks. Fishing stories should always be be- lieved by the fraternity. Fish not only do very wonderful things, but things can happen fisher- men which are far beyond human in- vention. There is only one place where one can hunt and fish—outdoors. Outdo rs is the best place and the most health- ful of which man has any personal knowledge. Indomitable Americanism finds its highest expression in the sportsman’s determination not to get “his eye wiped.” (The Outing Co.) A SIMPLE STORY. Pnce oa with real hearts wi!l fini sportsman is born, not no end of entertainment-—and a few tears—in ‘“‘The Battle of the Weak.” It tells of the tragedy in the life of a pure woman who is mated to the wrong man. This is a commonplace enough theme, but somehow it is re- treshing once in a while to get away from princes and dukes and commune with the real persons we know, laugh- ing over their joys. which we unier- stand, and weeping silently over their sorrows, which may be lIike our own. Mrs. Henry Dudeney, the writer, has handled her simple story most delizht- fully. It is primarily a woman’s book, but anybody may read it with discern- ment and pleasure. (G. W. Dillingham Co.)

re AS. N ONE respect. at least, modern if writers of stories for the young show a marked improvement on their work,.as compared with the books @ freely circulafed a generation ARV. Then most of the stories were merely entertaining; now education is cleverly —and to the childish mind unconscious- ly—interwoven with what is only amus- ing. An excellent specimen of this kind of writing is “Two Little Friends in Norway,’ by Margaret Sidney, author of the much cherished Pepper Books. Tt tells of the journey of an American miss of 7, wit): her mother, to the land of fjords. Here the acquaintance is made of a Norwegian girl of the same age. The atory itself is full of action and interest, certain to absorb the at- tention of any young girl, but more than that is the fact that the reader will get at the same time a very good idea of the quaint customs of the coun- try and the life of its people. Another book of similar seope, but going more thoroughly into its subject, is “When T Was a Girl in Italy,” by Marietta Ambrosi. The author was born in Tyrol, and* knows her own land tn- timately. There is a most entertaining account of the life of the Italian com-

ceremonies, social customs and fetes. A chapter on the culture of silk worms will interest and be understood by any child old enough to read the book at all. A book for bhoys—and that means about Indians and trappers and frontier life—is @he sixth volume in a series writ- ten by Edward Stratemeyer under the title: “Trail and Trading Post.” The plot centers about the possession of a trading post on the Ohio River just be- fere the Revolution. There are skir- mishes with redskins and unfriendly Fienchmen and many aiventures mere- ly to read which will make any Ameri- can boy's eyes sparkle with enthusi- asm. Another Revolutionary story. perhaps more interesting to girls than boys, is “Polly of the Pines,” by Adele E. Thomp- son. This tells of a patriotic girl of the Carolinas and the part she Diayed in the struggle of the colonie® for free. dom. Col. Tarleton appears frequently and there is a vivid portrayal of the partisan warfare of the time as it af- fected familles and homes.

A Glance at the Map of the Goldfield Mining District will show few mining promotions of recent years that have embodied such unlimited possibilities as the Mohawk Jumbo Leasing Syndicate Stock. The properties of this Syndicate comprise two leases known as the Jumbo Extension Lease and the Mohawk Extension Lease. The Jumbo Extension lies between the Velvet and Jumbo and is sur- rounded or adjoins the following bonanza leases with outputs as follows: pe DRISCOLL GARDNER ERICKSON KANSAS CITY VELVET KALFUS PENNINGTON 10,000 A DAY STIVES 10,000 A DAY 15,000 A DAY and is about three hundred feet from the Bowes Kernick Lease with a production to date of $1,800,000. The Mohawk Extension lies between the Silver Pick and Red Top, and is an extension of the Mohawk, the latter now generally conceded to be-the greatest gold mine in the world. The Mohawk Extension lease is about four hundred feet from the foll owing leases, with a production as follows:. MACKENZIE $ 1,000 ADAY KALFUS : 5,000 A DAY BRADBURY CURTIS 7,000 A DAY SHEETS ISH 10,000 A DAY FRANCES-MOHAWK 00,000 A DAY and about five hundred feet from the world-famous Hayes Monnette with a monthly out put of $2,000,000. It will thus be seen that the Mohawk Jumbo Leasing Syndicate properties are surrounded by Bonanza mines, and a comparison of prices will show that this is really one of the most extraordinary investment opportunities of recent years. What the possibilities are can best be shown by giving the results of surrounding properties. The Great Mohawk, the adjoining property, which is quoted at fifteen dollars a share, sold at eleven cents a share in January last. Red Top, two hundred feet to the North, sold at $4.25 a share this week, while a year ago it was twenty cents. Silver Pick, adjoining on the west, sold at $1.60 this week, while six months ago it was begging at eight cents. ‘ THERE IS NOT A PROPERTY IN THIS ENTIRE DISTRICT THAT DOES NOT SHOW A HANDSOME ADVANCE OVER QUOTATIONS OF SIX MONTHS AGO, AND A PURCHASE OF THIS, THE FIRST OFFERING OF TREASURY STOCK OF THE MOHAWK JUMBO LEASING SYNDICATE, PRESENTS POSSIBILITIES OF PROFIT EQUAL TO ANY- THING IN THE DISTRICT. The Syndicate is officered by men who have achieved marked success here on the ground, the board of directors being composed of such men as J. R. DAVIS, of Loftus & Davis, who opened and developed the GREAT SANDSTORM mine. Mr. Davis is the princi- pal owner and vice-president of the GOLD BAR, the famous mine of the Bullfrog district, as well as being vice-president and princi- pal owner of the NEVADA HILLS, the principal mine at Fairview. H. T. BRAGDON, vice-president, is also president of the GOLD- FIELD MINING COMPANY and president of the GOLDFIELD STOCK EXCHANGE. Mr. Bragdon is prominently identified with many of the most successful enterprises of Goldfield, and is also president of the MOHAWK JUMBO LEASING COMPANY, Op- erating the Truitt Lease, which returned to its shareholders, on its first dividend the amount of their investment of twenty-five cents per share. SAMUEL R. MASON, UJr., president of the CALIFORNIA BORAX COMPANY; AUGUST TILDEN and E. H. LATI- MER complete the board. MAJOR W. A. STANTON, manager and consulting engineer, is one of the most favorably known engineers in Goldfield and has no superior in his knowledge of the district. Under his direction the work is proceeding at a rapid rate with dou- ble shifts of. men at work on each property. The shaft on the Jumbo is down sixty-four feet, while on the Mohawk it is down one hundred feet and has already cut a stringer of ore running one thousand dollars to the ton, showing close proximity to big ore body, which is likely to come in with any shot. Two twenty horse-power gasoline hoists have been ordered and will be on the ground within fifteen days. Therd is no reason why the syndicate should not be shipping within thirty days; dividends should quickly follow, and in all probability the first one will equal the price of the treasury shares as was done on the Truitt Lease and scores of others. This will be the first, last and only offering of treasury stock at twenty-five cents per share, so ACT QUICKLY IF AT ALL. Reservations should be made by telegraph to insure consideration and remittance by bank draft or certified check must be for- warded immediately after allotment is made, otherwise allotment will be void.
