He has not yet mastered the subtleties
of the short story.
A work of value to the people of the
coast and one, indeed, which entities its
performer to grateful recognition wher-
ever regard is felt for historical relics
and traditions tending to connect the
people of the present with the Infinitely
interesting story of the past has been
put forth by Laura Bride Powers with
the aid of William Doxey, San Francisco,
in handsome little book, beautifully
illustrated, called "The Missions of Cali
fornia." No part of America is richer
in the lore of the early days when the
seeds of civilization were sown by mis-
sion fathers venturing among the savage
Indians than is California. California
has in this respect history unique and
dramatic; and it Is with view to the
preservation of this history and legen-
Diary bore that the present volume is writ
ten. Its contents will prove welcome to
all students of history.
In their Library of Useful Stories the
Appletons now include THE Story of the
Atmosphere" by Douglas Archibald, some
time Vice-president of the Royal Meteor
illogical society, London. 1t tells in simple
language what conditions prevail in the
air above us, and what those conditions
signify.
Three numbers have recently appeared
in Appletons Town and Country library:
Dear Faustina," by Rhoda Broughton,
an attack on the new woman, who is pic
tured as doing no good but deal of
mischief: "Nulma," an Apglo-Australian
romance by Mrs. Campbell-Praed which.
while exceedingly conventional, gives
valuable pictures of colonial society life;
and "The Folly of Pen Harrington by
Julian Sturgis, a well-told tale showing
how love levels distinctions in the most
singular and dramatic ways Each of
those numbers is suitable for companion
ship on the summers outing.
While the article in the August Co.'S
mopolitan which Is of the most value Is
President Dwight's paper on modern col

description of the famine in India. We

or unconsciously, of the child's natural
guardians-the parents.
The old belief that some children,
even under the most judicious treat
ment, are born to die young, is now
known to be false.
Once when the majority of mothers
tried to bring up their children in ac-
cordance with certain theories as to
feeding, even when the theories did
not fit the children. there seemed a
fatality in infant diseases that neither
love nor care could overcome.

BOOKS AND MAGAZINES.

The Life of Laura Keene, ,actress, ar
tist, manager and scholar, together with
some interesting "reminiscences of her
daughters, is the title and subtitle of
an interesting biography which comes
from the pen of John Creahan and from
the presses of the Rodgers Publishing
company, Philadelphia. Mr. Creahan has
brought together a mass of informal ton,
much of 1t new, and all authenticated,
bearing upon the public career and pri-
vate character of this famous actress.
Mr.. Creahan is especially solicitous to
present the amiable and admirable char
acteristics of the woman as we'll as the
artistic excellence of the actress, and his
volume becomes in fact something in the
nature of an eulogy, 1t Is a valuable
contribution to the photography of the
American stage.
Essays on Social Topics" by Lady
Cook, formerly Tennessee Claf1n, is the
title of a modest volume in lurid crimson
cover, which is issued by the Roxburghe
press, London. Americans are already
familiar with the tenor of Lady Cook s
writings on social topics. She is a re-
former who writes at high tension and
with much of the manner of hysteria.
Her hobby is that society is not taking
the proper care of the relations between
the sexes; that women are held to a
sterner code for physical frailties and
social errors than men; that mothers
don't instruct their daughters as they
should in the physiology and hygiene of
womanhood and that scientific principles
and treatment should be applied to the
question of race perpetuation so that
unclean men may be prevented from be-
coming fathers. The zeal of this reform
er is more to be admired than her dis
cretion.
Hamlin Garland in "Wayside Court
ships" published by the Appletons) has
grouped together a dozen stories calcu-
lated to show how a chance meeting of
one man and one woman as each is going
on the way of life all unconscious of the
other, is pregnant with possibilities for
both. The stories are uneven in merit
and the introduction and prologue lack
relevancy, II not sanity; but there are
touches of virile power and many bits OF
description that show an artists sense
of light, shade and color. The best story
in the collection, "A Meeting In the Foot
hills" narrates how an impoverished col
lege man. gaining the eye of the daugh-
ter of a millionaire ranchman on whose
farm he worked as humble stock
tender, succeeded after one or two vicisi-
tudes worth reading about in becoming
his employers son-in-law. 1t is in his

The rain of the week has inter-

The fact that so many people are
away and are likely to be absent for
the coming month has influenced the
decision to postpone the August events
at the Country club until later, when
many interesting affairs will make the
autumnal season a gay one. The open
tournament, scheduled for August IA,
has been postponed until September 20
and the links will probably be occu-
ried for the next few weeks only in
practice and impromptu games.

snstched the handkerchief out Of lei
mouth and hurriedly fed.
An hour and half later, the New
berns returned and found her in the
chair still unconscious. When anyone
came near she kicked and fought Or.
Hutchinson was called and he labOred
with her about an hour before she
could be sufficiently revived to tell the
story. The doctor thinks the handker.
chief was saturated with chlOrOfOTm
and some other drug, and that was
what caused her to be- unconscious.
However, the fright had something to
do with it Yet the condition she was
in, indicates the action of soTe other
drug than chloroform The qdOr was
on her breath and about the room
but the doctor cannot tell what it was
but thinks it was some mixture.
Miss Wire is a young lady twenty
one years old, of good character, we'll

Ralph Barstow the young man with
whom she had made the appointment
was arrested about eleven o'clock that
night but he seemed to prove an abb
by his family who say he was at home
all the evening, so he was released next
morning. .' .--r
1t is quite evident that this outrage
was perpetrated by the same Hend that
is responsible for Stella Motifs cOndi-
ton. 1t appears to have been the same
procedure except that in Miss Motifs
case they were not interrupted.
The police have a few clues which
they are working on but yet they are
very meagre. Miss Wire describes the
man as about FIVE feet ten inches tall,
thick set and stout, wearing a false
face with a large nose, black coat,
and light pants like salt raker- His
voice was o muffled as not to be recog-
nj zed. Of course this is very little to
go on as most of these things can he so
easily changed yet, they help little.
But these two instances are so re-
voting, so beastly and inhuman that
it is evident that some fend. devil or
abnormal creature is mong US whose
presence is as dangerous as Jack. the
Ripper. A reward should be offered
and a good one for anything that will
assist society in Kidding itself of the
monster.

AJacIt the Ripper.

Affairs are growing so desperate in
Hutchinson that it is hardly safe for a
lady to be alone anywhere. If we have
not Jack the Ripper among US, there
is surely some one who might bear the
name of Jack the Ripper" Another
crime, almost the parallel of Stella
Mott, occurred Sunday evening at the
residence of Mrs. Newbern, 305 Park
street. A young lady, Miss Mary Wire,
who has been working in the family Of
Mr.. and Mrs. H. King, the furniture
dealer, for some time, had gone to the
home of Mrs. Newborn which family
are her intimate friends, as she fire.
quently does to spend Sunday. She
had made an appointment with a
young man, Mr.. Ralph Barstow, with
whom she was to attend the Salvation
Army. The Newberns started to church
and invited her to so, but she thought
it would not be treating him right to
90 with them when she was expecting
him.
A few minutes after they had all
left, she heard footstep and knock at
the door and thinking it was Barstow,
she opened the door. She was imme-
diately seized by the throat by q
masked man who thrust a saturated
handkerchief into her mouth and com.
handed her to make no noise or he
would kill her. She struggled but
could not free herself. lie bound her
hands tight with an apron and tied a
towel so tightly over her mouth, nose
and eyes that she nearly suffocated.
Quite a struggle ensued, however, in
which she was thrown to the floor, but
kept him in trouble by Kicking. At
this juncture footsteps were heard Of a
neighOor woman passing the corner Of
the house and the frightened scoundrel
ran into an adjoining room. Miss
Wire succeeded in getting the bandage
off her face and sank in a chair ex-
hausted. Shortly the villain came out,

A. r, Dodge, of LangdOn, familarly
known as Riley Dodge, was the victim
of a misprint in the News last week
that was rather ridiculous for the
News. 1t told under big headlines
how he had been arrested for selling
Intoxicating beverages in the postoffice
building at Langdon by Constable Sam
Morris, and his booze captured with
him. IL wound up by remarking that
the pOpulist papers would probable
charge that this was one Of County
Attorney Falls prosecutions for poll
tical reasons Notwithstanding the
complaint was made by one of the
leading pOpulists. But it turned out
that Mr.. Dodge was the man who
made the complaint and not the one
complained Of. The nan whom the
constable was after, but didn't get,
was named SchurrOw. The News,
however, be it said to its credit, apol-
ogized next day to Mr.. Dodge for the
error, and errors will occur sometimes
with all Newspaper men.
