of William Sartain, of Bouguereau and Tony -Fleury and of Aimee Morot, for merly lecturer on art in Dickinson coll lege, author of "Sketching from Ma ture," etc. Fully illustrated and con- taining colored plates showing speci- mems of oil colors. Lee & Shepard Boston, publishers. A book which. though primarily intended to be Of practical use to the amateur painter, will be found to be also of value and in- terest to the student of pictures. The painter will find it a guide to the prin- ciples and processes of the craft ot painting, written by one who has prac- tised them, and in the spirit of a teach CT, without being abstruse, 1t will give the reasons for things as well as the things themselves. He who would paint a picture and he who would judge of one must know the same things,-the one practically and the other theoretically,-and both will find what they need in this book, clearly, thoroughly and practically set forth.
 Beyond the Pale," novel. by B. M. Croker. author of Proper Pride" Diana Harrington" Pretty Miss Ne- ville," etc, deals entertainingly and charmingly with various sides of Irish life and customs. The story is one of interest throughout. Love, boycotting, deeds of violence, baronial halls, matched cottages and a successful wooing are pictured in a bright, pleas- ing and delightful story. The book, which has been having a good sale, is g true delineation of Irish scenes and characters. Published by R. F. Fenn0 & Co.,, New York. For sale by Judd.
 "A Question of Damages" by J. T.. Trowbridge, author of "Cudjo's Cave, 4 "Neighbor lockwood" Three Scouts, r etc. This is a capital little book enter taining and delightful, as are all of Mir. Trowbridge's stories. The characters are skillfully drawn, those of the three chief actors standing out clear and dls- tinct, evidencing MT. Trowbridge's aps tistic talent, and keen perception of hu- man character. Mortimer F'renk' love of money and sordid motives, his base treatment of pure and high ninded woman, his awakening at last to the value of the jewel he has forever lost and his inglorious fate, show up vividlY by contrast with the lovely woman whose love he cast away and the astute but high minded lawyer who won the prize. The book is literary gem and a charming tale.

in remembrance of the Master Much interest was awakened by the ar ticle on the subject by Professor Briggs in the Independent and the timellness of the topic is further illustrated by the extended comments on Dr. Gitferts new book and on the pamphlet by Pro- lessor Percy Gardner of Oxford, Eng land. Professor Fox, however, inaugu- rated the discussion still earlier by pa pers read before the New York Baptist ministers conference, which started a protracted debate, which later spread into other religious denominations, Presbyterian, Lutheran, Roman Catho- lie, etc.
 "Klondike, a Manual for Gold Seek ers," by Charles A. Bramble, D. L. s. editorial staff Engineering and Mining Journal, late crown lands surveyor Do- minion of Canada. R. F. Fenno & O.. New York, publishers. Although the rush to the Klondike has greatly de- creased consequent in part upon the war and the woes, travail, suffering and fatalities that Klondikers have experi- enced, this book has a distinct value, nevertheless, as an epitome of reliable information, statistics and data re- garding this auriferous region, which thousands upon thousands will still flock to in quest of gold. The contents relate to the Klondike trail, life at the diggings, the mines, mining methods, prospecting, the climate, the outfit, the mounted police, Canadian mining laws, customs, regulations, diseases of the country, etc.
 Queer Janet" by Grace Le Baron, author of 'The Rosebud Club" Little Miss Faith" Little Daughter" etc, Cloth illustrated. Lee & Shepard, I'os- ton, publishers. Mrs. Upham here fol- lows up her success in "The Hazelwood Stories" by Queer Janet" which is even more attrative than her preced ing work. It is case of "cela va sans dire" that Grace Le Baron loves the little ones, and her pen pictures them just as we know them, just as they are. "Queer Janet' is certainly an ideal character but by no means an un- real one, and her beautifully unselfish who lives up to the golden rule. Queer Janet" can be read by boys as we'll as girls with equal pleasure, and like the Hazelwood Stories-by the same author-we may venture to say that older readers, too, can derive an enjoyment from it not always found in | juvenile stories. Mrs. Upham's books are rapidly growing in popular favor, "a popularity well deserved, since | there is not a page or a line in any of her writings which may not be read by the children, for whom they are chiefly
 written, with profit and delight"

We have just learned and with no
little regret of the prospective cutting
down of "Maynard's Grove" this
winter. This is the forest primeval
lying just across the road from the
County Poor Farm and a mile out
from Ellsw orth. Of all the mag
nificent forests that once skirted the
River Falls and Ellsworth road this
is the only one remaining.
AS an attractive retreat on warm
Sunday or as place for an Autumn
stroll Wisconsin boasts of possesses
nothing finer. Irving depicted no
nook of nature more beautiful. Wide
spreading elms and immense moss
covered passwords abound over the
entire area. The writer, has often
visited Chicago's famed Lincoln and
Washington Parks and you may well
believe with him that with a. little
renovating this production of nature
could be made to far surpass either
of them
Years of labor in those two conven-
tionalities of nature will not produce
what we are about to lose and that
is retrievably. There is no grove re.
naming that it wonld be feasible for
the County to possess. This grove is
contiguous to the Poor farm and
could readily be incorporated with it
under one board and be improved by
the one management.
The educational and moral infu-
ence would be unique and inestimable
Bryant adds
$40 him who in love of nature holds
Communion with her visible forms, she
speaks
Asvarious language; for the gayer hours
She has voice of gladness, and a smile
And eloquence of beauty, and she glides
Into his darker musings with mild
And healing sympathy, that steals away
Their sharpness ere he is aware"
We believe that public sentiment in
the county is strong enough to war
rant the purchase of the property
and would assist by private sub
scription and by fund raised
through public entertainment. The
expense is not great one and would
be borne by many. We would like to
have every paper in the county voice
it's opinion on the subject and il
favorable help the cause along.

1t has been officially announced by
the Post Office Department, which
has had the matter under considera-
ton for some time, that the private
mailing cards, authorized for domestic
use by Congress last Spring, will be
admitted to the foreign mails, pro-
vided they conform in size to the
official postal cards, at one cent
postage for Canada and Mexico, and
two cents for all other countries that
are in the Postal Union. Private
mailing cards have been admitted to

How corporations do thrive? The
Pullman Palace Car Co. is capt. allied
for $50, 100000 on which it's stock
holders draw two per cent quarterly
or eight per cent annually. Over and
above this dividend an enormous
surplus had accrued amounting to
500, 800, SAL. Last August $1,000,
900, in cash was distributed to the
stock holders in addition to the
regular eight per cent dividends. The
Company also increased the capital
stock SIS, 900, 600 or one third of
it's original value giving to every
holder of two shares an additional
share on which he will be able to draw
his quarterly dividends of two per
cent. The Company s net earnings
last year amounted to 50, 1913, 883.

Mrs. Peckham passed away
quietly from the scenes of this

children to mourn for her. The
remains, accompanied by her
daughters Lucy and Laura, were
taken to Neenah, Wis, for burial
which city was her former home.
Mrs. Peckham came to this city
with her husband one year ago,
her daughters, Lucy and Laura,
being at that time and since en-
gagged in the kindergarten and
primary departments of the Nor

residence here her sweetness OF
character and affectionate interest
in those around her gained for
her circle of devoted friends, who
with the family are left to mourn
her death.

Election is over and as there will
not be another for two years to come,
the people will desire much needed
rest from the consideration of politi-
cal questions. All they now desire is
to know that the election pledges are
faithfully carried out in statute form.
In the mean time discussions of the
peace negotiation, the war investiga-
tions, the military occupations OF our
new domains and kindred topics will
be received with a better grace. In
other words let's have a rest from

round alleging that some sensa-

posely withheld until after the
election, will shortly be given be-
fore the War Investigating Com

be followed by the disgrace ofsome
officers. 1t is the easiest thing in
the world to start a sensational
rumor in Washington, and as a
rule they attract little attention,
but this one has been reiterated
so persistently since the election
that it appears to be finding be-
levers. A short time will de-
termine it's truth or falsity, as
the commission will not take
