Getting The Greatest Good from Books.

Summer reading is often largely
composed of fiction, and if we choose
good novels and bright. wholesome
short stories, we are not exactly vast
ing our time, although every one of
these long summer days ought to give
us a return in something besides en-
tcrtainment and amusement" writes
Margaret f. Sangster, in the July
Ladies' Home Journal. II fancy that
most girls would be the gamers by
keeping on hand a good, strong book, a
volume Of history. or biography. or
travels. or essays, and dcvoting a por-
ton of their time to ii each morning or
each afternoon c0nsccutively. Keeping
o bookmark at the place where they
break off and moving it on day by day.
If. added to this, each girl would keep
near her a little blank memorandum
book in which she should enter dates.
copy passages which impress her as
worth remembering, or write her own
comments on what she reads she
would gain an incalculablc store Of
mental wealth by the summers end

Boston. June 2S.-The Globe, tomorrow,

police at the time. The suicide had let
tiers in his pocket with Mr.. Talbot,s name

police to think that Mr.. Talbot was the
suicide. Mr. Talbot called at the Globe

an error: that he did not know the party
who committed suicide or how letters
bearing his name and address came in

The sub-agent ckippcl cut few days before Mir. Roe re- turned, and the latter refused to re- sumc his duties until an examine ten of the books was made by the proper officials. It was then that Gotten Belt auditor was sent for and the alleged shortage discovered. Tine duration of Anderson's incunbency as agent covered only short period II 'ime, but it is said thd! within the past few weeks a great deal of money has been sent by express to. Stuttgart 10 move the crops, and that the Cotton Belt freight office has done big business. The office has therefore handled a great deal of money, which may run the short age into big figures. Anderson is a man of family and left wife and two children at Stuttgart. Mrs. An derson has returned to her mothers home at Alta Pass, Ill. Detectives are now on Anderson's track. He was last seen at Jonesboro, en route west. The money stolen was in transit.
