THE SEX NOVEL.
How 1t Is Regarded From It's Pub

II, as has been recently reported in literary
circles. John Lane has determined to aban-
don the publication of the ''sex novel; in flu

porter with this result: II do not claim to
have published any works which come under

piled to the books of two authors for whom

'Discords. and Grant Aliens novels. Kew

"You do not consider any other OF the

Brooks and his officers have practical

object of attack, If further attacks be

hala, Emmett and Marian mines which
are now resuming work as well as
many others. The pumps belong to
Smith & Moffatt and their expenses
are borne by the three other mines
named. If these pumps were crippled.
the ruin Of the mines by water would

Action at the Recent Conference Has
National Importance.

At the conference of the Danish
Evangelical Lutheran church Just
closed it was decided to unite in one
organization the two branches which
have heretofore had a separate ex-
lstence though they had the same gen.
eral purpose and the name differed but
slightly. The new organization will be
known as the United Danish Evan
gelical Luthern Church In America. A
new constitution was agreed upon and
most harmonious feeling exists be-
tween the united branches.
About sixty-f1ve established churches
2 and large number of pastors having
congregations form the nucleus of the
united organization. When all those
entitled to membership are registered
the number will be much larger.
The conference just held represented
a national gathering of the branches of
the Danish Lutheran church. The fol-
lowing officers were elected: G. B.
Christianson, Owatonna, president; A.
J. Soholm. Waupaca, Wis, vice presi-

SCARED A BURGLAR.
A WOman's Screams Made Him Fall
From a Ladder.

Miss Lois Smith, of 2O12 Beacon street, a
Etenographer in the city attorneys office,
had a rather startling experience with a
burglar Saturday night. The house is being
reshingled, and when the carpenters cult
work Saturday they neglected to take down
the ladder which rested near Miss Smith s
window. She was awakened by an unusual
sound at the window, and saw that a man;
who had assembled by the ladder, was about
to enter. She screamed loudly for help, and
the burglar proved to be the more startled of
the two, for he lost his balance and fell to
the ground below, considerable distance.
Strangely enough he escaped injury and
made his escape.
