such a severe decline as occurred. On
Monday May sold over soc and by Friday
it sold as low as 73c, the close being at Il
reaction of 215c from the lowest. It is
hard to say what caused the decline, for
there were no important bearish influ-
ences. The government report on the
crop of 1896, calling the yield 427, 900, 600
bushels, was bullish, for the trade has
been figuring on not less than 45O,oO0 200

Edward Kennedy, That College Boy" by
Mldren Rutherford of Athens, Ga. The
Peter Paul Book Company, 42O Main

a love story OF a school girl and college
boy. The incidents are in the main found
ed upon facts, and are narrated in a nat
ural and simple way that appeals at once
to the readers interest. Mamie Browns 5
pranks are highly entertaining and will
keep the reader amused throughout the
story. The picture of the Georgia dark
ey'' Is true to life, and glimpses of the
Georgia Cracker" are given-all marvel
ously well portrayed. The college boy and
his escapades, touches of human nature
and boy nature well put, all combine TO
make the little book one of the most read
able placed before the public for some
time. Miss Rutherford is known TO the
literary world as the author Of English
Authors" American Authors" and Bible
Questions" Her father was for more
than thirty years professor of mathe-
matics in the University Of Georgia; and
having spent her girlhood upon the coll

study and understand thoroughly college

afterward it's principal for many years,
she had ample opportunity TO know school

many touches of real life.

The current agitation Of the taxation

dissent. An invidous, excessive state tax

worse. IL would drive the thrifty after
they had accumulated a fortune, out Of
the country This country would then
sooner or later suffer as "Old Ireland"
now does from absenteeism. The rich al

woman. She came here about week ago,
and 1t seems that her stay here has been
one continuous debauch. Several days ago
she was given room at one of the lodging
houses on Main street. and while there she
drank to such excess that she was soon
on the verge of delrum tremens. One of
her hallucinations while under the influ-
ence of liquor Is that she is about to die
and while in this condition she caused a
sensation among the inmates of the house.
After summoning a physician, she pressed
the landlady into service as private Sec
retarJ and indited letters to her friends
bidding them all goodbye. When the
physician arrived he pronounced the case
plain drunk, and the next day she was re-
quested to leave. AT another lodging house
she repeated the deathbed scene, and on
the advice of another physician she was
again turned out to find other quarters.
Today she is wandering aimlessly about
town, presumably in search of another
room. She claims to have brother in the
Santa Monica Soldiers home.
