FACTS AND FICTION IN NOVELS.

There never was story whose inter-
est would not have been greater if, just
as it was, it had been actual fact.
But on the other hand, there never
was bunch of facts which would not
have been more interesting if. just as
they we're, they could have possessed all,
and only, the features and arrangement
the story teller would have liked them
to have. His main purpose. however
grave, however playful he may be, is to
convey. not weighty information. but
welcome emotions, thereby to establish,
for the moment, at least, and as much
longer as he may, spiritual facts of life
in the sensibilities, sentiments. and affec-
tions Of his readers. For him fact and
fiction alike are but means to this end.

times it may be. he does we'll to use it,
if he can 80 WELD it that in the end it is

good it has brought to the heart.
Why. then. are we so much more easily
interested by fiction than by fact?
We are not. Fiction that is only fic-

not mixed with it, as some boor may mix

this that holds our interest. Every fact
is interesting to every one interested in
the group of facts to which it belongs,
and every fact of the hearts experience
is interesting to every true heart; 80 in

A Lesson in Patience.

One of the happiest little boys ever
saw is cripple and he will never walk.
His lower limbs are paralyzed, and the
little fellow is wheeled around in chair
made for his especial use. When first
saw him thought how awful it must be
for seven-year-old boy not to be able
to run and play like other children, and,
without thinking. 1 asked: "Isn't it
lovely here? Don't you wish you could
run and jump"
"Yes," said the little fellow, II might
like it, but I'm happy where / am, and
perhaps I'd get hurt. Little boys do"
Then l felt rebuked, and the little
boy, whistling and singing in the chair,
playing with whatever is given to him,
the minutes of the hours by which the
days are told like sunbeams lighting
and gladdening LIES pathway, has been
lesson to me ever since first saw him.

Wages and Capital. An Examination of the
Wages Fund Doctrine. By f. W. Taussig.
New York: d. Appleton & Co.
In this volume Prof. Taussig, of Har-
ward University, presents in the first five
chapters his own views on the rela-
ton of capital to wages, and follows this
statement with nine further chapters in
which the history Of the wages fund
discussion is presented from its begin
ming to the present time. A final chap
ter gives brief summary of both parts.
Prof. Taussig is Harvard's we'll known
professor of Political Economy and his
work embodies vast fund of informa-
ton on the capital and wages question,
with the intelligent criticism and histor
ical knowledge which are rightfully ex-
pected from student and teacher of
his particular eminence. The reader
will share in the authors hope that his
volume may put into truer light old
views and modern criticisms and prove
helpful for that restatement of economic
doctrines on which the present genera

Cleg Kelly. Arab of the City. His Progress
and Adventures. By S. X. Crockett. New
York; d. Appleton & Co.
We have noticed this new work of
Mr.. Crockett in advance of it's publica-
ton. 1t is new departure for the emil
nent Scotch writer who has won dis
tinction in other fields. "Cleg Kelly is
a denizsn of the Glasgow slums, bright.
wide.awake chap. full of mischief and
unruly. but with a good heart and gen.
erous impulses. His career from the
beginning is Interestingly told. Toward
the end of the story "Cleg" becomes
quite hero of the melo.dramatic order.
With some notifications this story of the
Glasgow street Arab might be regarded
as classic of the slums. Two thirds of
the book are admirable as portrait of
what would be accepted as a natural
character. 1t is only when "Cleg" be-
comes melo-dramatic hero that the
outline becomes somewhat dimmed. But
it is an interesting story throughout,
and worthy of its gifted author. price

Then it was unnecessary to prove the

proved 1t held the field. Now, how
ever, all is changed. Pantheism, agnos-
ticism, Oriental mythology, and modern
criticism are in hostile array against
God, the Bible and Jesus Christ. 1t is
obvious that new points of attack and
new phases of sceptical thought must be
met by new arguments. This is what
this volume aims to supply. 1t essays

proved, and how far any of the objec-
tons raised by modern doubt are vital,

homage of mankind.
And the charm of the book lies in the
cl sar, concise and convincing way in
which it puts the issues, and makes
Christ the central figure around whom
every consideration must revolvs. On
what the world thinks of him, the dee-
tiny OF his religion must turn. The per-
son. the plan. the teaching. the work,
the resurrection of Christ, confer upon
him unique personality, matchless for
dignity. majesty and moral glory, far

The following circular letter has
been issued by Chairman A. C.
Millar of the Good Roads Com
mittee. THE permanent commit
tee appointed by the good roads
convention has prepared and dis.
tributed over $4,000 circulars sug-
costing our needs and possibilities
and an outline of u plan for road
improvement. The members OF
the committee became responsible
for the expense, expecting the
friends of the cause to organize in
each county. and raise u fund to
cover this expense, and others in
cidental to such a great work.
The money is needed, and it is
hoped that the county judge in
each county will effect an organi-
cation as suggested IN Che circulars
and raise the fund. If any judge
neglects this, let some one friendly
to the cause get authority from
the judge and then organize.

mittce. In travelling through

scarcely any opposition is heard

money is permanent productive

man is urged to supply himself

ton thoroughly, and then patient

ton on this subject will be worth
