Colonel George c. Gill, one of the special agents for the lEtna Insurance company for the state of Illinois, writes thusly to the temporary editor of TIE TRAvELER:
 I have "devoured" "Len Gansett. 5 Never did hungry tramp enjoy a square meal as I have enjoyed this book. Please tender to MT. Read my thanks for the writing of it. He is a genuine artist.

Several of the other characters or relations of theirs lived there, too. While the backwoods dialect is unadorned by strictly grammatical opportunities and it's use would be considered criminal by Bostonian, there is conciseness -a frankness-a naturalness about it that is truly refreshing.

 The souvenir dancing orders of the ball of the Albany Printing Pressman union contained the following contri- button from printers devil, which is too funny for publication in the so- called funny papers; at least they sel- dom have such genuine humor. It is entitled "A Prize Essay on News papers,:
 Newspapers is called vehicles of in- formation.
 Reporters is what is called the staff 50 many of them being "sticks." i" They work hard-in beer saloons.
 Proofreaders is men what spells the punctuation of competitors. They think thcy be intelligent persons; com positors think different.
 Competitors is men as sets up the types-and sometimes the drinks. Competitors is very steady men when they is sober-which they seldom is if they can help it.

"Sons and Daughters" '"

The first June number of Ticknor's Paper Series, in it's dainty beauty eminently fitting for the month of roses, is that sweetest of love stories, "Sons and Daughters" by the author of "The Story of Margaret Kent" and "Queen Money" Rebecca Hardinge Davis says of this story: "It certainly is the cleverest, most brilliant society novel which I have read for many a year." ItkAs attracted unprecedented interest and the highest praise of critical authorities. "I think the studies of For6es, Msriam, and Mrs.
 Reeces, all three, exceptionally true and fine. It is brave book-a story which searches out the by-ways of the heart, and is strongly and fearlessly told" says Louise Chandler Moulton. Another experienced writer says :: "One thing in Sons and Daughters' has never, think, been 60 well done before: the author describes . girls passion-not one girls only-but the passion of love in girls, with . truth and power thst I cannot remember having met in any other novel. - !.

not far away, was rushing torrent. Bill had reached the creek and was standing under a tree looking at the roaring stream, when dog, short distance above, ran out on log, slipped of and fell into the water. The tumbling tide whirled him over and over, and wedged him between two trees, with his head down. In a moment Bill had thrown of his hat and coat.
 "You ain't my dog," he said, "but I'll be blamed of I'll see you drowned. I mout not git outen that alive, but Pm goin' alter you"
 He plunged into the stream. He was tumbled over and over, as the dog had been, end was washed against the trees. He struggled desperately. He reached up and caught hold of a dead branch, but 1t broke oil and

he sank. Up he came and caught an- other branch. Then he steadied him. self, and with his diseDgaged hand liberated the dog. He held the animal under one arm and plunged into the water. He kept his feet this time, and soon reached the shore. While he stood looking at the dog, whe began to shake himself and whine, old Hol- lins came up. The old man patted the dog on the head, and then turning to Bill, remarked:
 "Bill, never seed puttier caper than that thar. wuz jest fixin' ter draw bead on you when you lit in that water. You air a man, Bill. Any feller that will resk his own life ter save dog is the sort O feller that sorter fetches the wet to my eyes, an any man that says you air coward has got me ter whup. Thar's CT putty good size chunk O gal at my house that's a-waitin fur you. Come"
 "I ain't fitten ter be seen no whar with these here cloze on, Uncle Buck"
 "Yas you air, Billie. You are fitten to be cen in the governors house. Wy, ding my hide, eff I ever seed a man look better than you do."
 'I tell you, Uncle Buck, I'll go over home an git some dry duds on an then come out"
 "All right"
 When the old man entered the house, Liza, who sat gazing into the fire- place, did not look up, but when

he had put his gun in the rack over the door, she turned to him and said:

 "Wall, air you done murderin'?"
 "Bout through, I reckon"
 "Said you wuz going ter bring me two years O a coward"
 "You air so tender hearted that didn't Tow you wanted 'em."
 "I know whut's the matter. You didn't fine Bill"
 "Wall, mebbe Tll ketch him one Q these year days"
 They sat in silence. The old man went to the door and looked out. A smile spread over his face. A young man, obeying sign, tip toed into the room. He approached the girl and placed his hands on her head.
 "Don't tech me, pap. never do want you to tech me agin."
 "Ain't teching you," replied the old man, speaking from the other side of the room. The girl looked up, then sprang to her feet and threw her arms around Bil's neck.
 "Thar's yo' years," said the old man. "Couldn't get the years O coward an thought I'd send fur some other sort. Thar, you've tuck on enough. Git us bite to eat an we ken 'splain afterwards. ."- Chicago Epentng Lamp.

faced by time, but the name in full was Multnomah. When I was boy I remember she was the most beauti- ful maiden among the Klickitats- and they were warriors in those days
 "Why captain,' said I, this is quite romance tell me about it.
 "tThere isn't much to tell, except that thirty years ago Harry Sprague and myself were just of age, and the Klickitats were powerful tribe of Indians, and during the salmon season they came in great numbers to the Cascades to fish and gather berries. Harry and I were on the steamers running to the Cascades, and MultnOmah was 8 beautiful h. dian girl. I always thought that she must have bsen descendent of some adventurous fur trader, for her feat ures were of Caucasian type, and her complexion was not more dusky than that of Spanish beauty. Harry fell in love with her and she with him those things often happened in the early days, you know-and all would have'been we'll but for the Indian war which broke out about that time, and the tribe to which Multnomah be- longed left the river to go upon the warpath. A little while before the tribe disappeared Harry had taken one Multnomah's bracelets and scratched on it with his knife her name. Shortly after this the blockhouse at Cascades was attacked, but the In- dians were repulsed, and that night we captured young Indian boy lurking about the settlement who knew Harry and confined to him that Multnomah wished to meet him the next night at the Lost Lake. It must have been very important busi- ness that would have induced the In- dian girl to visit the dreaded lake {; but we feared plot and tried to dis suade Harry from going. He went, and when he returned a day later it was only to die of innumerable arrow wounds. Before he died he told me that he had reached the lake just at dawn. He was at the point of step- ping from the underbrush when he caught sight of Multnomah standing on a log projecting over the water. Her long hair fell over her shoulders in disorder and bright red blanket clung in graceful folds about her slender figure. She was gazing in- tently on the lake. Harry was just about to speak her name when an arrow whizzed through the air straight to the heart of the dusky maiden. Backwards she fell into the lake and sank beneath the surface. At the same time Harry received a mortal wound. He never told us how he got back to the river, and we bur jed him in the woods he loved so we'll. The Indians always claimed Multno- nah was seized by an evil spirit which lives in this lake in the shape of monster fish and devoured. At any rate, her body was never found; but this was her bracelet. Strange that it should have been recovered after SO many years.'
 And that" said the gentleman, as he reached for a fresh cigar, "is why I said there was a remarkable story connected with that bit of jewelry."
