ENHANCEMENT, by Mrs. Burton Har-
rison, has its scenes mainly in Spain
and England. The hero is an Ameri-
can, whose course of true love does
not by any means run smooth, but
leads him into safe harbor at last.
The tale is one of this favorite au-
thor's best, and perhaps the longest
which has ever occurred in Lippin-
colts. MERGERS Best Shot" as de-
scribed by Joseph A. Altsheler, was a
very remarkable shot indeed, at an
enemy whose shadow only could be
seen. More vigor of conception and
description has seldom been put in

The war department estimates ii
will require 10000 troops to garrison
Hawaii and the territory wrested from
Spain. Gen. Miles is convinced that
a few thousand soldiers will suffice in
Cuba after Spain has relinquished her
sovereignty. The need of 5000 men
in Hawaii is questioned by military
experts, who say one company would
be sufficient. OF the 100000 troops
called into service only $1,000 have
been utilized.

The smallest excuse the high-strung
republicans have made why Norton
should not be made county clerk is
the claim that it will take him some
time to learn the ropes and that Hub
bard is already on to them. This is
on par with the fact that Norton is,
as the Union sarcastingly declared at
the opening of the campaign, put
down in the directory as simply a
pattern maker. The fact of the mat
ter is that there is such a thing as
some knowing too much about the
ropes. Inasmuch as what man has
done man can do in this country.
Norton ought to stand as good show
at catching on as Kshler did, despite
the latter's apparentidea of perpetual
lease on the office.

And wen leave this stricken shore
They waited for his coming,
They waited long in vain,
He missed the Spanish bullets
He missed their iron rain
But when the fight was over,
With all the battles won,
A fiercer fight was on him.

And yet he battled on alone,
He'd win cen against the grave.
