begetter, but an old book has gotten
INTO the proper perspective and may be
praised by him without fear or favor.
Inc Big Bow Mystery seems to me
an excellent murder story, as murder
stories go, Tor, While as sensational as
the most of them, it contains more
humor ana character creation than the
best. Indeed, the humor Is too abun-
| dant, for mystery should be sedate and
sober. Humor is out of tone; it would
be more artistic to preserve a somber
note throughout"
Not every man is competent to be his
own reviewer, but it is almost need
less to say that Mr. Zangwill's appre-
citation is exquisitely just. Doubtless
the blood and mystery will be spoiled
for some people by the authors irrel-
evant cheerfulness, but the not incon-
siderable class of readers who esteem
humor Of more value than gore, and yet
| are not averse to q good detective
story, will spend a memorable and de-
| llghtful hour over 1.-THE Big Bow Mys-
terry. The problem which the author
sets himself is who could have killed
a man who was found murdered In
| room to which there was no possible
| access? The solution is as UNIQUE as
the problem.

That man is to be envied who, when
wearied of decadent dramas, tendency
novels and the rest of the turgid flood
OF modern fiction, can HE him to his
study, take out his quill and proceed
to produce such a book as in his crit
1cal capacity he has been urging other
people to write for him. This is what
Andrew Lang has done in "a Monk
Of Fife" and, in view Of the marked
| success which has attended his en-
deavor to realize his own idea of
romance of medieval France, he can
surely afford hereafter to deal more
kindly than IN the past with those
whose ideals in fiction differ from his
own. "a Monk of Fife" conforms to
the stories of adventure so popular
| just now in a sufficient number OF
| important particulars to secure for it
the same large and enthusiastic au-
| diences IT. is, a stirring story full of
action. 1t resounds with the clash Of
arms, and Of fighting and adventure
| there is enough to satisfy the most
greedy On the other hand, it has
sundry graces of style which are con-
| spicuous for their absence in most
novels Of the same type. The story
of his early adventures in love and
war is related by a venerable monk
Brother Norman, Of the Order of Bene-
dictine, Dumfermline,- and he sees
their outlines through a softening haze
of years and the religious life Flee
ing out Of Scotland in young man
hood after an assault upon the scion
of great house. the youthful Nor

is absolutely safe to make is that the
reader will not be bored.
1.-THE Big Bow Mystery" is a murder
story published some time since in the
London Star" The author furnishes
a preface for the American edition, in
which he remarks, "As this little book
was written some four years ago, I feel
able to review 1t without prejudice. A
new book just hot from the brain Is
naturally apt to appear faulty to its

Before reading book by Zangwill
there is always a pleasing uncertainty
as to whether one is to be touched to
laughter, moved to tears or only reused
to that condition of intellectual slim
ulation in which the brain works as if

Charleston Post.

Charleston Post.
We have seen it hinted somewhere
that Governor Evans placed the
metropolitan police here with the de-
sign in some way or other to capture
the Charleston delegation to the legis-
lature when the time comes for the
election of a U. S. senator. 1tisp pos
sible that he entertains some hope OF
constructing a Gary Evans party in
Charleston. If he does his hopes will
be disappointed. 1t may be that the
opposition Of Charleston to Mr.. Evans
will prove helpful to him in his pollti-
cal career, it may be-but this be
may put in bis pipe and smoke-he
will have it. He has put upon this
community an insult and done it an
Injustice such as was never perpc-
tratcd urder the forms of law upon
anv city before. He has aroused
resentment in Charle: ton which has
been felt towards no other man IN
South Carolina since 1876. John
Gary Evans will be remembered IN
Charleston. Rather than fail to show
the deep indignation which stirs them
against him, we believe that our
people would almost to a man support
a John Irby in preference, II neces-
sary to express it.

A FORGOTTEN Fortune.

One Of the great capitalists IN Ne"
York, q man whose achievements by
reason of their magnitude cause his
name to bo as familiar to the public as
that of almost any man in New York,
went into the safe deposit vaults one
day and gavo to the manager an envel-
one which he said contained 1000
shares Of Northwestern stock. He did
not want to put this stock in his vault
for reasons best known to himself. The
envelope was given to an employee, who
did not know its contents, who was IN
structed to place it in his own private
vault until called for, and with that ar
range,nent the capitalist seemed content.
A few months later this capitalist was
in a great state of mind. He could not
find anywhere among his possession
block of 1000 shares Of Northwestern
stock. He could not say whether 1t had
been lost or stolen. At last he gave
bond to the railroad company aud re-
ceived for it new stock, and the old issue
was Cancelled.
at the beginning Of the following
year the deposit company's employee
asked that he might be relieved OF the
responsibility of caring for the cap
italist's envelope, although he did
not know what it contained. The
capitalist was sent for and the envelope
given to him. He himself received the
envelope in apparent ignorance OF its
contents until he opened it and found
within the missing 1000 shares of the
par value Of 5000, 600. The whole trans
action was al utter blank to him. If he
had been q man of intemperate habits 1t
might have been explained, but he IS
practically total abstainer. -PhlladeI-

Cecil Rhodes.

Cecil Rhodes" says The Saturday
Review, "is a strong man of the kind
that is never finished by a single stroke.
And he is strong with the strength OF a
coarse, ruthless, greedy egotism, the
strokes of whose piston rod force the
minds and the money Of weaker men
into its reservoir. AS he was at Orlel 20
years ago so he is at Cape Town today
lonely, self absorbed, irritable and not
to be relied upon. He hates women,
whom he regards as unnecessary I'M
pedimenta in the campaign, and he has
no idea of friendship. He only recog-
nizes instruments to be used and emo
mics to be dealt with. Success accentu-
ated his defeats to the point of disease
and made him so irritable, SO self alb
sorbed and so insolent that none but
parasites could live with him. y

Tean>ss Canno: be Cured.

BY local applications, as they can
not reach the diseased portion OF the
ear. There is only one way to cure
Deafness, anG that is by constitu-
tional remedies. Deafness is caused
by an infamed condition of the mu-
cous lining of the Eustachlan Tube.
When this tube gets infamed you
have rumbling sound or imperfect
hearing, and when it is entirely
closed Deafness is the result, and
unless the inflammation can be taken
out and this tube restored to its nor
NAL condition, bearing will be des-
troyed forever; nine cases out OF ten
are caused by catarrh, which is
nothing but an infamed condition OF
the mucous surfaces.

Winter is Hear.
BRINGING With it Catarrhal Diseases
of All Kinds.

Winter is half over. People are
continuing to catch colds, and not a
house but hears the winter cough.
People are trying to get something
TO cure these troubles, which are
almost inevitable at this time OF the
wear. 1t can safely be said that nine,
tenths of the people in the United
States have cold some time during
the winter. There is one remedy
which will prevent colds and coughs
and cure them with certainty when
thew are contracted. This remedy is
Peru ma. Taken with regularity
during the winter months, it will en-
tirely prevent coughs, colds, la grippe
consumption, bronchitis o or poeumo,
mia. It will also cure without failure
catarrh and recent cases OF consump-
ton. and often in advanced stages.
Everybody should have the 64-page
book on catarrh and winter diseases
which is being sent free by The fe-
ru.na Drug Manufacturing Company
Of Columbus, Ohio.
