Historical Novels.

Fiction that draws the curtains aside
aud lets one peer in behind the scenes
while the play of history is going on
have a great and altogether wholesome
popularity at present. This phase of
devourment of what constitutes popular
literature is healthful reaction of the
appetite for something more substantial
than modern French fiction and the
threadbare school of sensational novels
introduced, by such works as "She" and
the romantic type Of QUO Vadis." 1t
1t also progressive step beyond the
novel of sentiment and manners finding
its highest type in Dickens and 0uda.
The best novels of today are devoured
by the hundred thousand and are clean
enough to be read to any class OF boys
and girls in public school. Most
wholesome indication of all is TO be found
in the fact that Miss Mary Johnson's Is
ITO Have and to Hold" has surpassed
in sales and continuous demand from
the first the most successful books of the
past century and holds rank with Rich.
ard Carvel, Janice Meredith, and When
Knighthood Was in Flower. Miss John
son is Virginian and has chosen for
her story the romantic setting afforded
by the event of bringing shipload of
young women over to that colony and
providing the planters with wives for so
many pounds of tobacco, which seemed
TO he the universal currency of the day,
even becoming legal tender in the forced
matrimonial market which seemed nee.
essary to enable planters in the wilder
ness to obtain a white woman for
spouse. Thus the hero Captain Percy
becomes possessed of a maiden who
proves to be woman of quality and
ward Of the king who scorns the mean
estate Of her picturesquely obtained
husband but is compelled to obtain his
chivalrous protection through a series
Of most thrilling events and learns TO |
love him at the end. Miss johnson
handles all the situations with rare
taste and it must be said some OF them
are so ticklish and delicate no man
novelist would dare attempt to depict
them. But with woman at the pen
we plunge in knowing the proprieties
will not be violated.

"The Black VOLTS Breed" is a story
of France and Louisiana, or France in
the old world and the new in the time
OF Louis the Fourteenth by Harris Dick
son, the Bowen-Merrill Company, Pub
fishers, indianapolis. This thrilling tale
OF adventure covers the historical period
OF the great French Louis and the prin.
cipal men and women Of that times in
old France and new. 1t let's one in
behind the scenes and reveals the maxi
ing of history, just as Walter Scott's
Quentin Durward" does for the times
OF Louis the Eleventh. Here are revealed
the pride and glitter of a reign that
added to France a domain. out of which
now are carved the great western states
from the gulf to Oregon. The persons of
king and courtier, soldier and diplomat,
lass and lady, priests and people throug
its pages and action, action, action char
acterize its quality and style. There is
simple directness and an absence OF
namby- -pamry scenes and manifestations
of puppy-lovemaking that is refreshing
as dash Of rain from a wholesome south
wind off the ocean. The whole is backed
by an appendix that gives the original
documents on which the story is founded.

new pace in the attainment OF a marvel-

4 REAL RICH RUN.
The Fire Departments Got Puzzling
 Report and Got Scattered.

The fire departments experienced a guessing run Wednesday night. An alarm of fire was turned in from the corner of Second aod Poplar streets, where a burning fae was extinguished before the arrival oi the departments. Company No. got the proper alarm and responded to that corner. Company No. 2 was told tbat the fire was at the corner of Second and Main streets, and being in the western part of the city, ran all the way down to that point before it found that the fire was near it's headquarters, from where it started. It was forced to double the run back 10 that place. The patrol wagon, which usually responds to alarms, was ordered to the corner of Main and Poplar streets. There is no such location as that, as both named thorough = fares run in the same direction and are almost mile apart, The wagon joined Company No. 2 at the corner of Main and Second streets and they responded to the right place togeth- er Several of the volunteers were given different locations to go to. Tue alarm was badly mixed at the cd phone office.

IS NOT THE LAW.


 N5n. s. M. Taylor handed us the Following story, which was clipped #rom the American Lawyer. It 8ss well worth reading.
 "A somewhat amusing state of Naffairs arose in the case of Perkins Avs. Lyons recently pending in.the supreme court of Iowa. in which Messrs. Kim, Hume & Bradshaw
 were attorneys, The senior mem
 Der of the firm was recently Chief
 Justice of that court, and while oc
 eupying that position rendered a udgment which was dead against
 the law as now eoutended for by
 him. Hence this language in the
 brief:
 We recognize the fact that the
 senior members of the firm, the
 name of which is subscribed hereto,
 among his last fficial duties as Chief Justice of this honorable aud
 respected colrt, wrote the decision 15.a case of Ottumwa V. Stodghill.
 reported in 103 Iowa, 437, in which
 tEis court held that transfer of
 stock in a corporation is invalid as
 against an attaching creditor, e5en
 though he has actual notice of the
 transfer, when the transfer is not
 entered ubon the books of the cor poration in the manner provided by Section 1078 of the Code 1873 Since that case was decided the junior x members of the firm have labored long aud earnestly with the seoior member to convince him of the error his decision. We have shown him that it is based upon harsh, strict and literal interpretation of the stat ute; that it is contrary to equity and good conscience, and opposed to the trend of modern and enlightened authority. We have pointed out to him that he wrote it as the shades of night were falling upon his judi cial career, and that his heretofore elearsightedness in legal matters had become temporarily dimmed, that ae is now in the bright light of a free and unhampered advocate, and Aknore capable of seeing things in Nheir proper proportions. We have
 eyen quoted to him the speech of Mrs. Browning's maiden 70 her
 ovei:
 ..,Yps-I answered you last night. ' No-ths morning, sir, I say. < Eolors seen by candle light
 Do not set III the same by day .sIn short, though he has never
 sad so in words, we are convinced anat the ex- Chief Justice is heartily
 eshatned of that narrow, almost X #mediaevAl, decision, and that all we < have to do is 10 present the ques ton to his successor, and five asso- ciates, in proper manner to con- z vince them also that the rule pro- ' malgated in the Ottumwa case is not the law. :.

 Gen. Pietrus Joubert, ,eommandant general of tho Traesvaal forces, better know as Piet Joubert or stslien Pet" (slim Pieter), was born about 68 years ago. He descended from an old Huguenot family which settled in South Africa many years ago. He was born in Cape Colony, but was taken by his parents when ' years old to the Orange Free State, where be was taught from eatly childhood to hate the British. He is described as having been ut terly fearless. Ot sctooling be had but little, and never saw newspa- per until he was 19 years old. In spite of this, his ambition prompted him to read the few books he could obtain, and he succeeded ia obtain ing fair knowledge of history and languages.
 It was during the wars with the natives that Joubert became &C., quain ted wi h Paul Kruger, and the two men became bosom friends. He was elected vice president of the Transvaal iu 1886. He defeated Sir George Colley at Maiuba Hill in 1881, and acted as president of the republic in 1883 84, during Kruger's absence in Europe.
 Gen. J9ubert was the most cee- brated fighter in South Africa. He was the commander-iu-chief of the Boer army, and has been looked on as the country's savior during the present war. The general vas 68 years old, and scared by many a wound from English bullet and na- tive assegai. Yet he was sturdy of frame and keen of eye, and withal crafty as a North American Indian. He led the Boers at Maiuba Hill, where 290 English gave up their lives, Gen. Joubert losing but five men. He beat the Eng fish at Lalngs Nek, commanded the forces at Bronkhorst and Spruit, and finally caught Jameson like rat in trap
 
 through quick mobilization of troops and superior craftsmanship.
 He fought in the native wars when Paul Kruger was commander, and these two became bosom friends. though they have grown apart some what in recent years. They and one other Boer were selected to conduct the affairs of the Transyaal when It was in rebellion against England in 1881, and Gen. Joubert several times came within few votes of beating Dom Paul for the presidency. He believed that if the Uitlauders were gwen the franchise, in a reasonable time they would become good citi- zens, and that this was the way to solve the problem. At the same time he would not sanction any sort of revolt, and when the Jameson raiders were landed safely in Pretoria jail he was one who favored shooting them.
