amusing point, so as a faithful narrator
feel in duty bound to tell the other side
OF it.
In due course Of events the trial of the
indictment against the saloonkeeper
came on to be heard and I was acting as
prosecuting attorney. OF course I had
to prove that the prisoner had introduced
liquor into the Indian country, and to do
so 1 called a French half-breed, who
knew frequented the place, and, after
the preliminary questions, the following
examination was had:
9. Joe, were you ever in this saloon?
A. Yes, many a time.
@. Did you ever buy and drink any
liquor in there?
! A. Yes, many a time ..E
! @. Did you ever see any one else buy
and drink liquor in there?
a. Yes, many time.
Q. Who was it?
A. I have seen you do it lots of times.
Of course the laugh was heavily against
me, but 1 sat as stoical as an Indian and
quietly asked him, ANY one else. Joe?"

never think of it without a good laugh at
the way the witness turned the tables on

'The Kingdom of Hate"

The Kingdom of Hate" by T. Gallon.
Town and Country library. D. Apple
ton & Co, New York. For sale by the
st; Paul Book and Stationery company.
The Kingdom of Hate" follows closely
The Prisoner of Zenda." The hero goes
by different name and does not bear a
striking resemblance to the reigning
prince of the small German kingdom of
euphonious name, which is the scene of
many adventures, but he is a cool-head-
ed, courageous Englishman in conven-
tional tweeds, whose hazardous fortunes
associate him with the princess of said
small kingdom. This princess in turn is
beautiful and sad-eyed and prosecuted
by her cousin, whose energy is directed
to gaining the crown, either by marry
ing or destroying the rightful heir.
The story is written in Mr.. Gallon s
best manner and has some ''go'' to it.
The plot, while not departing far from
the general lines made popular by Mr..
Hope, has a sufficient number of sur
prises to keep secure the readers atten-
ton to its very prosperous end

And so the letters go on, depicting
the fearful tragedy, lit up sometimes
with faint CLEAN of hope, but oftener
dark with despair and pitiful appeal,
showing forth depth of suffering of
which only such men are capable-and in
the Dreyfus case France has another
wonderful story added to her marvellous

ROUGH RIDERS SAD ROMANCE.
''Mary Waited for Dan, but Died
Before He Came"

Before He Came"
Dan Seabright, a fearless cowboy, who
had ridden the plains for years, was one
of the bravest of Col RooseveIt's Rough
Riders. When Troop L, of the gallant
regiment, was enlisted in Muscogee, In
dian Territory, he was among the first
to volunteer.
He had won the heart of Mary Sedwick
and they were to be married when Dan
returned from the war. Thus began
sad romance which has just ended.
For the bravery he displayed during the
Cuban campaign, Seabright was promot-
ed to lieutenant. His sweetheart's brother
Robert was in the regiment also, but he
and Dan lost sight of each other upon
landing in Cuba. Robert was killed in
battle. Before he died he received word
that a cousin of his, Agnes Sedwick, who
also lived in the Indian Territory, had
married prominent cattleman.
Some time afterward Seabright heard
of this but was informed that it was
Mary Sedwick who had been married.
Overcome with grief the young soldier
lost all ambition and brooded over the
supposed unfaithfulness of the girl he
loved. After the war he went to Texas
and later further West, but he did not
have the heart to return to the COM
munity where his sweetheart lived.
During the first annual reunion of the
Rough Riders held recently, Seabright
learned for the first time that Mary was
still true to him and was mourning be-
cause her soldier lover had not return
ed. Dependency had brought on nervous
prostration, and she was expected to die
Seabright at once set out, with a COM
panion, for his sweetheart's home, ten
miles away from the reunion camp
Reaching the house the expectant lover
dismounted. He knocked at the
door, the aged mother opened it and her
tear-stained eyes told him that sorrow
had come to the little household.
rs Mary homer" inquired Dan eager
ly. The mother turned her eyes back into
the room and with difficulty said:
Mary said to tell you Dan that she
had waited for you as long as she could.
She died few hours ago."

"UncIe Sans Soldiers"

''Uncle Sans Soldiers a story of the
war with Spain, by Oscar Phelps Aus
tin. D. Appleton & Co., New York,
publishers. For sale by the st. Paul
Book and Stationery company.
In this volume Of 300-odd pages Mr..
Austin gives to the young American a
great deal of information in regard to
war and the preparation for war. 1t is a
splendid addition to Appleton's "home
reading books" and a volume which
should live from a purely educational
standpoint, if from no other. The book
begins with the preliminary excitement of
the Spanish war, and Mr.. Austin picks up
in West Virginia a couple of young pa
tricts Daniel Patterson and Henry Will
kins, one of whom he sends to war in
the Antilles and the other to Manila, and
around them builds his educational Story.
BY text and Illustration Mr.. Austin
weaves together the cost, the equipment
the hardships and the horros of modern
warfare. Excellent pictures are given
of every kind of firearms from the old
ffintlock muskets of 1776, through the
Springfield rite to the Mausers and Krag-
Jorgensens of today, together with the
larger types Of -destroyers from the ordi-
nary cannon to the thirteen-inch guns of
the great battleships. The uniforms and
shoulder straps of all officers are given
from the general commanding to the
second lieutenant. In the last hundred
pages of the book are many illustrations
of actual scenes around Santiago during
the fighting of June and July, 1898. Mr..
Austin writes in terse and entertaining
style.

"snow on the Headlight" a story of the
great Burlington strike, by Cy w ar
man. D. Appleton & Co, New YORK,
publishers. For sale by the st. Faul
Book and Stationery company.
In a style that is not too involved to
be readily understood Mr.. Warman
weaves, a very clever romance about the
strike on the Burlington in 1855. In one
of the early chapters he endeavors to
show that two of the worst evils Oh
American life at this day are the black
list and the boycott-the one made use
of by capitalists and the other by the
labor unions Mr.. Warman unhesltatlng-
w states that both are wrong, and that
if is little short of criminal to bring such
vyeapons into use even as a last resort
He gives a vivid description of some OF
the bardships of the strikers during the
darlington troubles, and points out some
of their fatal errors. George Cowels' the
1nosr vehement Of the railers against cor
porations, after keeping the men from
returning to their places half dozen
times by his violent harangues, and al
most permitting his family to starve to
death. finally deserts himself, takes the
Denver flyer and dies in his engine on the
first trip out. Dan Moran, found with
dynamite on his person, is arrested and
tried for, presumably, preparing to dyna-
mite a train, but is acquitted. He be-
friends the wife of COwels, marries' her
and starts on a wedding trip to Denver.
The train, with Guerin, the man in charge
of the throttle, who was firing for Cowels
the night he made his fatal ride in max
ing an effort to gain lost time comes IN
collision with a fraighteT and is wrecked.
The engineer is killed, but the passengers,
including, of course, Moran and his wife,
are saved. The description of the wild
ride Of Cowels to his death, with 'snoW
on the headlight" is effective to the point
of thrilling the reader, while that of Guer
in over the same route, again with snow
on the headlight" is quite commonplace,
the peruser of the volume being forced to
the conclusion that Mr.. Warman was in
a hurry to finish the volume because Of
a shrilI cry for copy from his publisher.
This pretty little ditty is put into the
mouth of Patsy Daily, the sunniest char
aCter of the book:
