This story by Mrs. A. G. Paddock was
nrst published nearly twenty years ago
and recent events have seemed TO justify a
new edition of it. 1t is a story based on
Mormonism. The author lived many years
I'm Utah when IL was a Territory and had
ample opportunity of knowing the people
and the history, principles and practical
operation of MOrmoaism. Her husband.
Hon. A. s. Paddock, once a senator from
Nebraska. also had a fund of personal in
formation on the same lines. In tracing the
development of Mormonism in Utah from
the beginning the story traverses historic
ground and many OF the scenes and incl
dents IL depicts possess dramatic interest.

creation of fancy and many OF the Incl
dents are founded on fact. The story

HOW TO HOLD YOUR SEAT.

Washington Post.

Eternal vigilance may be the price of lib
erty, but eternal keeping in touch with
your constituents is one of the best ways
to hold on to your seat in Congress.
These may not be the exact words of a
member of Congress-, but they represent
the idea that is uppermost in every mars
mind. Each congressman has a list of the
voters in his district, known as a mailing
list" and some of these lists are very COM
pick. Congressman Gordon, for instance,
who has many populous Ohio cities in his
bailiwick, has collected 40, 900 names, while
Congressman Avery, of Virginia, has 5000
names. A list of 5000 names and postofice
addresses would be considered very small.
To these constituents are sent copies of
speeches, packages of garden seeds, public
documents, etc, and there is no doubt that
these delicate attentions are productive of
much good. The story of one congressman
who declined to keep a mailing list and
was snowed under when he sought renom-
nation is always held up as an awful
warning. On the other hand, 1t is said
that ex-Representative Dockery, of Mis-
souri,, who is to be nominated for Governor
of his State, owes his hold upon the people
to the fact hat he constantly sent his
speeches and other documents all over Mis-
souri,. Champ Clark is another Missourian
who believes in the efficacy of the mail

which he had just received from an Irish
man, a day laborer, to whom he had sent
a package of seeds. II have been a voter

1t is said of Governor Stephens, of Mis-
souri,. that he secured his nomination
through sending some little remembrance
through the mail to voters all over the
State. When his rival found that the
Stephens boom was becoming formidable
he sent messengers out to learn what was
going on. and this was the conversation
which all the scouts reported:

Wages Advanced Twenty Per Cent.

PHILADELPHIA. March 25.-In accord
ance with their notice, posted shortly after
Jan /, 1900. promising an advance to their
employees TO take effect April l. the Ber-
wind-White Coal Mining Company to-day
notified all of its miners of a general av-
erage advance of 20 per cent. The miners
are now placed upon a basis OF 60 cents per
gross ton and all day labor increased ac-
cordingly. This advance will make the
wages the highest paid during the last
thirty years and I'm some instances the
highest that have ever existed by nearly Z
per cent.

This is a much more exciting story than
Its quiet title would indicate. 1t is laid in
the reign OF Queen Elizabeth, and the hero.
Fairfox Flamsteed. is one of the Queens
body guard known as Gentlemen Pension
ers." In this capacity he meets the stirring
adventures that are woven into this tale
related by him in the first person. In
trusted by the Queen with the duty of de-
hvering an important letter to one of her
supporters who is raising an army in the
south and west of England for defense
against the partisans of Mary Stuart, he
has a series of thrilling adventures with
spies. enemies and traitors. In one of these
the girl he loves is imprisoned in the same
dungeon with him in the hope that she
will obtain the coveted letter from him.
She does not, and they both escape. Event
ually he succeeds in delivering the letter,
which has important consequences. A
pretty love story runs through the narra-
tive OF exciting adventures to a happy end
Ing. Altogether il Is a very readable
story. IL is issued in Appleton's Town and
Country Library series.

Captain Diepne.

The Doubleday & Mcclure Company have
commenced the publication of a series Of
''Short Novels" by which is meant stories
too long to come under the head of short
stories and scarcely long enough TO be
classed as regular novels. Critics and pub
fishers nave almost succeeded In establish
ing the rule that there is no middle ground
in fiction between the short story and the
long novel. The rule ought not to prevail,
for there is plenty of room for good stories
between these limits. The first in the pro-
posed series of Short Novels is Captain
Dieppe," by Anthony Hope, author of The
Prisoner of Zenda. The captain, who is
the central parsonage of the story, is a
French soldier of fortune, who has just
retired into discreet obscurity after the
failure OF one of his great strokes. The
story has what appears TO be an inconse-
quential beginning. Being caught in a rain.
the captain takes refuge under a castle
gate and smokes a cigar. specializing on
the reason for keeping one-half of the
castle lighted and the other dark. The
owner of the castle invites him inside, and
while his guest the captain learns facts
that lead to a series of surprising adven-
lures in which the nobleman's beautiful
wife Is an actor. The story is character
istically ingenious and interesting.

There is a newspaper flavor about
'-Glimpses Across the Sea"-not in the
topics of the articles of which the book is
composed. but in the manner of their treat
ment. Sam T. Glover, managing editor Of
the Chicago Evening Post, a clever writer,
visited Europe not long ago and has re-
forded his observations and impressions in
q series Of sketches that cannot fail to in
terest the traveller as well as the stay-at-
home. Mr.. Clover's newspaper training has
enabled him to avoid the banalities so often
found I'm descriptive letters. In fact, the
main charm of his work is the absence of
anything approaching the hackneyed or
commonplace. He Is a keen observer, and
his comparison of Europeans and their
ways with Americans and their customs
shows he used his eyes to good advantage.
even IL he was doing England and
France in a few weeks. People who intend
TO visit the Paris exposition will find In Mr..
Clovers book Information that may save
them many dollars. Windiknowe Publish

President Receives the News.
WASHINGTON, July 2O-After hope
had almost been abandoned of hearing
of the Americans in Peking, two cable
grams bearing tidings of the unfortu-
mates beset in the British legation have
been received. First came short, sharp
word from Consul General Goodenow,
at Shanghai. He gave notice that Min
lister Conger had at last been heard from
directly.
Scarcely had the news reached Secre-
tary Hay before Minister Wa came
bearing in his own hands the message
from Minister Conger. The minister
was almost speechless with pleasureable
excitement.
The secretary had already prepared
