A beautiful illustration of the broth
erly feeling that has been growing for
years between the former Confederate
and Federal soldiers and which has
been accumulated by the present trouble
with Spain, was given at Fort Smith

A story likely to cause considerable
comment is Percival Pollard's THE
Kiss That Killed. which is the main
feature of the June issue of Tales From
Town Topics, New York. While
simply the account of the circumstances
that changed a young man with all the
wsrld and fortune before him into a
man whose very name society preferred
to forget, its glimpses of the lowest
depth possible in some of the most
glittering votaries of fashion, male and
female, are full of fascination, while
its love passages are in the most charm
ing key of romantic writing. The
books passages in discussion of the
ever interesting problem of the equality
of the sexes in matters moral are sure
to arouse no little argument wherever
read.
