mayor kept Republican in any position.
In all the minor places In his control there
is not more than one two held by Repub

the mayor has turned out old soldiers who
were entirely competent TO discharge the
duties of the positions which they held. One

Regarded as a whole. the Southern press at
this moment has a tone more optimistic

The Southern people know prosperity

Saints In Art.

In the study of art the pictures and stat
ues of saints are so numerous and so i'm
portant that IL one adds to the contemplation
and enjoyment OF their effigies the study of
their lives, historical and legendary. he &C
quires sense of acquaintance with great
number OF holy and intrepid men and
women. for it takes noble character and
great achievements TO win place among
saints. a large proportion OF those, who are
so called, sacrificed their lives rather then
renounce Christianity, while history shows
that many others were heroes and herolnes
of superhuman courage and loyalty 10 their
convictions. Making due allowance for the
improbable legends with which popular or
ecclesiastical tradition has surrounded
many of them the fact remains that they
were unique characters. The great statues
and pictures of the saints are found chiefly
in churches throughout the world. and IL is
the object Of this work TO make the reader
acquainted with them. Saints in Art
gives photogravure illustrations, and there
fore accurate representations. of no less
than thirty-three of these famous works
of art by great masters, with historical
sketches and critical comments on each.
1t is an instructive work for all who are
interested in art. 1t Is by Clara Z. Clement.

Republican. He inadvertently expressed
a purpose not to vote all the Democratic
ticket. and particularly not TO vote the part
in which Mayor Taggart was most inter-
ested. That man was promptly called up.

Mayor Taggart and his friends are max
ing the same canvass for Republican votes
on the good fellow basis. Republicans are
told that Mayor Taggart is a good
hearted person, who shakes hands,
smiles and has a pleasant word for Repub-
licans as well as Democrats. All of which
is true. but when it comes to business in
the mayors Office 1T is the "cold shake that
every Republican gets.
Now that the Republicans have twice

he uses his position and Official patronage
to fight the Republican candidates for State
offices, representatives to Congress and
county officers, would ii not be we'll for
Republican voters to vote for Republican

The Man who Dared.

This is an historical romance of the time
of Robespierre, the scene being laid during
the latter days of the Reign of Terror and
presenting very realistic picture OF the
state of Paris at that period. The plot is
ingenious and is closely interviewer with
the facts and traditions of that exciting
period in French history. 1t deals with the
Vaccinations of those who were concerned
in Robespierre's downfall and introduces the
tyrant himself as an actor in the historic
drama. 1t is story of thrilling action,
replete with dramatic situations, with it's
