RILEY RELEASED.
Chief Osgood Arrests Little Falls Man
for Authorities There, but He
10 Lot Go.

Chief Osgood on Saturday evening
arrested a young man giving the
the name of Frand Riley and he was
held until Sunday afternoon for the
Little Falls authorities. Last
Thursday the chief received a tele-
phone message from the chief OF the
Little Falls department, asking him
to -apprehend a man who was
thought to have taken the afternoon
passenger train for this city. The
police closly watched all trains for
the man answering his description
but not until Saturday evening did
they find the fellow. He had left the
train at Royalton Thursday, got
over to Rice ON a handcar and sue
cessively beaten his way to Watab
and Sank Rapids. He had come
over on a car Saturday night and
was gathered In by the police. He
was wanted at Little Falls for the
theft OF a suit of cloths from his
roommate in h. second class hotel.
Riley was fortunate enough Sunday
to secure his release, the complain
ing witness having left the town,
and the authorities there having
notified the local department to per-
NIT the man to go as they would
prove nothing against him in the
absence OF the owner of the clothes.

Little Falls Ball Team Makes a Good Show
ing at Detroit. Plays Perham
Today. N

A telephone message was received
from our ball team at Detroit Tues
day evening. The boys must have
been in the game at all times and
played their positions well for at. the
close of the game the score stood 8
to 4 in favor of Little Falls.
Score:
Little Falls. ........ % o 0 O 4 l l o rs
Detroit............"..O 0 0 0 DO Id
They lined up as published Tues
day. Little Falls got eleven hits to
Detroit's three. Our team madefour
errors and Detroit six.
Our battery, Terrell and Engle.
bre tsen, did very effective work.
The Detroit batters were unable to
reach Ferrell's twisters until the
sixth inning when a little hit was
made. Terrell managed to strike
out fourteen men. Hickey, Detroit's
pitcher, also did very good work. He
was caught by French. IS.
Detroit's battery was much
stronger than the rest of the team.
Had they received better support
the game would not have resulted
| as it did. =
Little Falls got little nervous
in the seventh inning and let in two
runs making the score 6 too. II
The game throughout was exciting
and holly contested. The boys man
aged to draw a good sized audience
and are we'll pleased with the way
they were treated by the Detroit
people. It is hoped that a return
game may be played.

The roommate" told the au-
thorities here OF his misfortune and
the direction in which he thought
the thief had gone. The chief i'm
mediately telephoned to st. Cloud
where Riley was caught.
During the meantime the fellow
who had been so unlucky, left the
city and failed to swear out q
warrant, consequently Riley was re.
leased.

BOOKS AND WRITER'S.
Critics Give James Lane Allen a Fore.
most Place.
Notes Concerning Barric-Jane Austen's Nov.
els-Ihe New Books.

Most of our thoughtful critics have
united in giving to James Lane Allen
one of the foremost places among liv-
ing American novelists, says the
Transcript. His style reached its best
in The Choir Invisible" 1t was his
first historical novel and so great was
his success, both materially and artis-
tically, that in his new story, to be
published by the Macmillans in June,
he has chosen a historical theme once
more. This time it is the social up
heaval that followed in the South at
the conclusion of the civil war, and
the scene is in the hemp fields of Ken
lucky.
In America, Mr.. Aliens story is to
be called The Reign Of Law" but in
England the title chosen for it is In
crcasing Purposes" as title-copyrigh ghl
prevails over there, and the Duke of
Argyll has already made Il famous
use of The Reign of Law Mr.. Allen
is just now enjoying one Of his periodi-
cal revolts against publicity, and has
fed to a wilderness where even proof
sheets cannot find him. and the inter-
viewer is bafIled from pursuit.
Replying to the charge that ''litera-
ture is degraded by attention to the
business side" Sir Walter Besant
says: $50 what does not degrade the
clergyman. the painter the sculptor,
the architect. the physician. the law
yer, the actor. does degrade the au-
thor In the words of DR.. Johnson,
What skimble skamble stuff is this!'
1t rests upon a confusion of ideas be-
tween commercial value and literary
value. The two are dstinct-they are
separate, they are incOmmensurable.
We cannot estimate the literary value
| of a work by any standard of money:
! we cannot estimate the commercial
| value of Il work by any literary stand
| ard. We ought to be able to do both:
| 4 perfected humanity will be able to
! do bOth-at present we cannot Some
| worthless books circulate largely;
! some excellent books hardly circulate
| at ALL" The trouble is that authors
| too often expect their commercially
| successful books to be rated as high
| literature.
Are we to call an author great.
says Sir Walter elsewhere. because
| his works circulate by the hundred
| thousand? In that case, not to speak
! of English writer's Mr.. Charles Shell
| don is the greatest of living authors
Also for three-fourths of his life. Rob
ert Browning was the smallest Of his
| contemporaries"

Speaking Of Jane Austens novels,
Janet Harper in the Westminster Re-
view says:
Probably the best time to read one
Of these novels is just after one has
graduated. or is inflated with univer-
sity honOrs. or is puffed up with hav-
ing had some fugitive verses accepted
by high-class magazine. or has sur
feited himself with fin de steele stories
till literary dyspepsia has set in. These
things generally occur before one is
very old, but there is another good
time also, which is even less limited
by years, namely. after one has some
how had an overdose of ethics. for
Miss Austen never pointed 4 moral or
set herself to teach. Like all true
Scniuses. she knew. consciously or un-
consciously. that 'art works for al!
whom it can teach" and that it de-
liVers its own message to us. She does
not assure US that the apparently most
commonplace of human beings will be
found interesting in some point if We
only take the trouble to find it out. but
vertheless through her art we learn
il. and greater things, the power of
love and the beauty of self-sacrilice.

attacked. The Saturday Review says:
Here and there, no doubt, his SEN

bl1t are none the less real or important
