you do wrong to weep for him, -
Elsa said What is better than the
courage of true heart? He did not
lose his life, but spent it in his highest
duty. His life was crowned with sue
cess-his death with glory. You, a
princess, about to become the wife
of a noble prince, ought to rejoice
il such life and such
dAath. Do we not love our lovers be-
ca Ise they are brave and true? There
is no real evil except fear and unfaith-
fuiness. God preserve US and those
we love from these"
She kissed the princess and went
away. Clytie, comforted by her words,
soon fell asleep.
The next morning inaugurated Sc

THE DAYS OF AS.

NETHERDYKE-By r. J. Charleston. New
York: Edward Arnold. Price 81 so.
Considering it's length and the possi-
bilities it contains, there is not enough
action in this story to sustain it prop
erly. The book deals with the days of
Bonnie Prince Charlie and the ad-
ventures of the gallant gentlemen who
espoused his cause. But in spite of this,
the romance might have been expert
enced by a London apprentice and
smacks more of the fireside than the
heather. The battle of Culloden, where
the Princes cause received its quietuS,
is well described, and the author gives
evidence throughout of style both sim
pie and entertaining. AS vivid picture
of the days of Forty-five, however, it
does not contain enough trouble to
please the average reader.

NOT UP TO THE MARK.

CLAUDE DUvAL OF NINETY -FIvE-By
Fergus Hume. New York: G. w. Diiling-
ham Company. Price so cents
There may be people who like to read
an improbable story not too well told,
but the majority of them will prefer to
leave it severely alone. The men and
women in Fergus Hume's latest yarn are
not true to life, and although the book
contains many thrilling episodes, being
the recital of numerous daring thefts by
an American girl in English society, they
alone will not make it desirable reading.
The heroine, the American girl just men
toned, is an atrocious piece of charac-
ter dra wing.

A NEW BOOK BY RILEY.

THE RUBAIYAT OF DOC. sIFERs-By
James Whitcornb Riley. New York: The
Mr.. Riley has made an old-fashioned
country doctor the hero of this quaint lit
tie tale in verse The character is well
known one to everybody who has lived
in the country where, by the by, all the
truly good and disinterested people seem
to live. Mr.. Riley treats his subject in
his own inimitable manner and one
comes to love his hero after reading the
first few stanzas of the poem. The old
doctor and his village cronies live and
breathe in the lines and one gains an in
sight into the simple routine of their
lives that is seldom given in a novel. The
book is illustrated by c. M. Relyea and
is bound in a handsome sage-green cover.

A ROMANCE FOR YOUNG
STERS.

THE FIRST CHRISTMAS TREE-By Henry
Van Dyke. New York: Charles Scribner'a
Sons. Price 81 80.
This little romance of the first Christ
mas tree will be sure to meet with
large sale at this season of the year, not
only owing to the charming way in
which it is got up, but also on ac-
count of the delicacy of the story itself.
Having read it, one can easily imagine
how the first Christmas tree was re-
ceived, and how those gathered around it
in dark forests did so with feelings far
different to those we experience to-day.
Mr.. Van Dyke tells his readers how the
early superstitions were overcome and
how the light of Christianity came to
hover about the trees once sacred to the
gods of the forest. The little book is
charmingly illustrated and is bound in
handsome cover of green and gold.

story, and "Lochinvar" bears signs of
having been written with the chief inten-
ton of filling 400 large pages. Mr.
Crockett's theme has already been used
by Scott in one of his finest ballads, and
although the author shifts the scenery
he does not remove the impression that
he has followed his predecessors plot
very closely.
The story deals with the revolutionary

perusing the book and following the ad-
ventures of the little Puritans one finds
that boys were boys and girls were girls
even in the days of 1647. Their quaint

children of to-day, but the story will un-
doubtedly help to make the children OF

by their ancestors in the settlement OF
the country. The volume contains sew

BUSINESS METHODS.
Why Farmers Should Look After
Their Insurance Policies.

Why Farmers Should Look After
Their Insurance Policies.
Farmers sometimes forfeit their in
surance by neglect. While the mu-
tual companies do not, as we under
stand it, hold farmers to the strict
letter of the law, as do the stock com
panies, but go more on the equities of
the case in their settlements than on
strictly legal points, nevertheless 1T
is wise to have everything straight
ut the start and keep it straight. For
example, many farmers during the
year make additions to their build
rgs. The company should be in
formed of this fact and additional
insurance, whether against fire, light
hing or tornado, should be taken out
to cover the increased value. Many
farmers sell or trade properties during
She car and this vitiates their policy
unles, n assignment is made, returned
to the company, and new policy
issued, Where farmers do not sell
outrigi they frequently deed por-
tons of their property to their wives
or members Of their families, thus
making a change of title and in each
case the policy should state the facts.
Another matter. In making out
policy always see that the property
that you wish to protect is specifically
mentioned in the policy and that it
is so mentioned that there can be 10
dispute about it. For example, we
heard of case lately that is likely to
lead to litigation in a stock company.
The farmer so insured carried so much
insurance on grains. A fire occurred
and in addition to the grains lot Of
clover seed. was burned. The question
came up at once, is clover seed a grain?
1t will be very difficult to prove that
it is. Therefore the policy should read
grain and clover seed, or any other
kind of seed.
Another matter. Always keep your
policy where you will know where to
get it should it be needed for any pur-
pose and if possible keep it in fire.
proof safe. Bankers usually take care
of papers of this kind and it would be
good thing to leave your policies
together with your banker, or in some
other place where they are as safe as
possible from fipe.-Wallace's Farmer.

Irrfration on fhe Farm.

In laying out system of bitches for
irrigation purposes good care and time
should be observed Ditch lines should
be run as much as possible ON the high
parts of the farm, and the grade should
be light, about four feet to the mile be-
.rg about what ordinary soils will best
stand. The ditch should always be
larger than is apparently necessary.
Both ditch and hank should be built
broad, and particular care given to
prevent the liability of a little stream
of water starting out from the side
somewhere and cutting away both
ditch and bank and inundating the
feh.-Dakota Field and Farm.

The first thing to do with focks that
are kept on farms rather than on
ranches is to separate the flock into a
number of small ones, each composed
of one kind. and having regard to sex,
age and general condition. The weak
ones should not be placed with the
strong. The weather or stock flock
should be in one flock, the breeding
ewes in another, and the lambs in an
other, if the best results are to be Sc
cured. !

things most neglected. Hogs are off

know some farmers that have never
