ARCTIC suN9EAMsi or FROM FRO G. DgoAdpTAAY
NoRTH CAPE. by SAMUEL 8 Cox, author
gress,h 10 New York; O. p Putnann's sons.
This volume shows the results Of the ohserve-
ticns of Mr.. Cox during his travels last year, and
It is written with that charm Of excellent descrip
ton, keen analysis Of character, and genuine
humor which has characterized all that gentle
mans works. While he travened the same ground
which many others had gone over, he has looked
at persons and localities nom his own standpoint,
and has invested them With the charm OF his own
genius and In tho reference TO the northern lands
visited-Sweden and Norway, and Northern Rus
sia-the author has brought forth many legends
of this arctic cline, which shoYs that there is an
opnlence ofromance 10 this colder cline, as well
as In the torrd localities Of Southern Europe, and
II there is less Of burning passion In the colder
latltudes, there is more Of earnestness, OF Truth
and fidelity. The attractive manner In which
this book is written, ia graphic descriptions, and
Its bright humor give IL almost the charm OF
romance, and the subsequent volume which Is
promised, " From the Porte to the Pyramids, by
Way of Palestine" will be eagerly looked for

and trudges out in a driving storm to OBTAIN
a five line item. But the paper must have all

tanned by humbling the proud soul OF the re-

hours, from a dungeon TO a palace, from a
church to a brothel the same night, rlsklng
life and limb to get an item. 1t is a life
not to be desired. It's chief charm lies in the
excitement attendant upon it, and the wide
general knowledge and acquaintance of per-
sons and things. 1t is a life full of tempta-

on record was an eastern man and he was OF
no use to his journal for he couldn't attend
political caucuses, and he was assigned the
position of writing obituary poetry TOR the
Philadelphia Ledger, where he still remains.
The reportorial aspirant may be Informed
right here that the story of free theater tick
cts is a bowling farch. Sunday schoo ent er-
tainments and church festivals are alone
turned over to reportorial care for the moral

mind and body being subjected to a constant
strain. There is, however, the goal OF al
good reporters in the future-a place which
long night tramps are unknown, and "as'

Too Much

Erasmus T. Ruggleson, a young man OF
Saxon Image. worked on a farm out here in
Yellow Springs township. He was not rich,
but he was industrious and just too pretty
for anything. So was the daughter OF the
farmer for whom he worked. She was
weather. than Erasmus, but she was not
p1oud. When the chores were done in the
winter evening, she went with him to the
singing school and she walked by his side to
the church. She loved him she would
rather sit at her case in the cleaning and
hear him boiler sspo-oe-ey" in long drawn
mellow cadences, at the hour OF feeding OF
the swine than hear C%ompanini sing ,'Maca-
roni del Vermicelli" from 'Handorgzhanni
in Venezuela And he-he was c.ean gone
on her. Mashed beyond all surgery. When
they foolishly let the old man in on their
plans for each others happiness, the wrathful
agriculturist said if he heard one more word
of such nonsense, just another word, he
would lay that farm waste with physical
havoc, and blights its winter wheat with the
salt tears of his only child, and that's the
| kind of a father-in-laW he was intended to
be-.
Naturally the young people determined to
fly. Their plan were laid the nigt was set.
So was the ladder. AT its foot waited the
| ardent Erasmus Ruggleson, gazing at the
window for the appearance Of his love.
Presently the window opened softly, and the
face he loved appeared.

"Florence!"
Eyes,, dearest shall I drop my things
right down /"
Eyes, love / will catch them. Let the
bundle fall"
The glittering starlight of the clear March
fell upon Erasmus glad and upturned face.
So did a trunk, four feet high, four feet wide
and about eight feet long. 1t weighed about
roo pounds. 1t contained a ''few things
that no woman could be expected to travel
without, and Florence spent three weeks
packing that trunk for her elopement.
Erasmus Rugglesen did not scream. He
did not moan. He couldn't. He had no
show. Florence came down the ladder, hav-
ing first, with a maidenly sense of propriety,
requested her lover to turn his back and look
at the barn. He may have heard her but he
didn't look at the barn. He was busilY en-
gagged in looking at the bottom Of that trunk
and thinking how like all creation he would
yell if he ever got his mouth out doors
again.
Florence reached the foot of the ladder.
"Did you get my trunk, Erasmus r she
said, looking around for him.
"Oh, yes" said a hoarse, knocking voice al
her side. ''Oh, yes, he got it. Got it bad
