One OF the most eloquent tributes
ever paid to the dog was delivered by
Senator Vest of Missouri, some years
ago. 1t has been thus recorded by the
Nashville American: He was attend
ing court In a country town. and while
waiting for the trial of u case in which
lie was Interested was urged by the at
torneys In a dog case to help them.
Voluminous evidence was introduced
to show that tho defendant had shot
the dog In malice, while other evidence
went to show that the dog had attack
ed defendant. Vest took no part in the
trial and was not disposed to speak.
The attorneys. however, urged him To
speak. Being thus urged he arose.
scanned the face Of each juryman for
a moment, and said:
Gentlemen OF the Jury: The best
friend a man has In the world may
turn against him and become his en-
envy. His son or daughter that he has
reared with loving care may prove un-
grateful. Those who are nearest and
dearest to us. those whom we trust
with our happiness and u good name.
MAJ become traitors to their faith.
Ihe money that a man has he may
lose. 1t files away from him, perhaps
when he needs II most. A mans repu-
tation may be sacrificed in n moment
OF ill-considered action. The people
who are prone to fall on their knees
To do us honor when success Is with us
may be the first tn throw the stone OF
malice when failure settles its cloud
upon our heads. The one absolutely
unselash friend that man can have In
This selfish world, the one that never
deserts him, the one that never proves
ungrateful or ~trcacherous, Ia his dog.
A mans dog stands by him in prosper
ity and In poverty, In health and in

come In encounter with the roughness
of the world. He guards the sleep OF
his pauper master as IL he were a
prince. When all other friends desert
he remains. When riches take wings
and reputation falls to pieces he Is a.

ground, nj matter II all other friends

side will the noble dog be found, his
head between his paws. his eyes sad.

Then Vest sat down. He had spoken
In a low voice, without a gesture. He
made no reference TO the evidence or
the merits Of the case. When he fin
ished Judge and jury were wiping their
eyes. The jury fled out but SCOT en-
tered with a verdict of $500 for the
plaintiff, whose dog was shot; and 1t
was said that some Of the Jurors want
ed to hang the defendant.

doubtless the unwritten annals of this
interesting region abound in bloody
conflicts for supremacy by these pre-
historic peoples.
I hope the classification of these
various village sites will be continued
until the identical type which Coronado
saw can be reconstructed. That the
question of location has been definitely
and indisputably solved by Mr.. Brewer
does not preclude the necessity of fur
ther study and classification by other
students or by himself, but it surely
marks an era in the field of history,
when the exact geographical location of
the country explored by Coronado is
definitely settled for all time as it surely
was before the close of the nineteenth
century This fact should only open
the way for better study of the
archaeology of this field and suspect
that another century will as firmly
establish the identity of these people
and their connection with other branches
of the human family as the question
of location was established at the close
of last century.

LITERARY NOTES.

Stanton H. King, who is now superin-
tendent of the Sailors Haven in Charles
town, Mass, spent twelve years at sea
in the merchant and naval service, and
in "Dog- Watches at Sea" he has under
taken to set forth the sailors life as it
actually is. The book is interesting as
being frank and even naive account of
his various experiences. All good books
of the sea have something which to the
landsman smacks of romance, and this
quality is not lacking in Mr.. Kings
book, but it is essentially realistic
story of twelve years of life before the
mast.
William James Stillman, the veteran
correspondent in Rome for the London
Times, has greatly expanded the "Auto-
biography of Journalist" originally
contributed to the Atlantic, and will issue
it in book form early in March from the
Riverside Press. Few men have led
more interesting lives or pursued more
interesting careers, and, accordingly, in
the Autobiography there is succession
of pictures Of men, events, and things
that really constitute vivid panorama
of some phases of American life and
European politics during the last half of
the last century.
The struggle between the French and
English for possession of the Ohio valley
was momentous and dramatic phase
of American history made memorable
by Braddock's defeat. This episode has

THE APRIL ATLANTIC.

G. w. Anderson, distinguished ex-
member of the Boston School Board,
opens the April Atlantic by discussing
freely and fearlessly Politics and the
Public Schools, showing how the most
important work-next to that of the
courts-intrusted to the government is
suffering through insufficiency and COR
ruption.
DR.. Talcott Williams contributes a
thoughtful study of the Anthracite Coal
Crisis, apropos of the approaching wage
readjustment in this great industry,
which occurs April first, when all sched-
will be at stake with worldwide conse-
quences.
Ex-Governor Chamberlain treats of re-
construction in South Carolina-how
the negro question has been treated and
how it ought to be treated what ought
to have been done; what actually was
done; the consequences and the best
course for the future.
John Muir writes brilliantly and
delightfully."- about The Fountains and
Streams Of the Yosemite National Park,
their champagne waters and their wild
ways.
The Next Step in Municipal Reform,
by Edwin Burritt Smith, shows the
necessity and demands the adoption of
public control, at least, Of all public
service corporations.
William D. Lyman, in an interesting
sketch of The State of Washington,
shows the vast possibilities and the
already vast achievements Of what is to
eastern readers an almost unknown land,
but which it's denizens claim will be the
future great centre of the worlds trade
and commerce.
@. A. Dinsmore discusses Dante's
Quest of Liberty, starting with Dean
Stanley's assertion that the Purgatorio
was "the most religious book he had

Mrs. Wiggin closes Penlope's Irish Ex-

his faults and virtues. The narrative is
accompanied by pretty love story, and
has for background picture of Vir-

eighteenth century. The volume will
be brought out by the Riverside Press
early in March. Miff1in &

Five months ago three Chicago writer's
and one visiting literary man from the
south met at dinner in this city around
the board of bright woman who is
literary critic Of ability. While the
evening was yet young the southerner
stated he was at work on new story,
which he Hoped to complete by January 1.
Two of the Chicago writer's admitted
similar plans, and the third, when put
to it, confessed to plot he was working
out for a romantic historical drama.
The southerner's book is in press now;
one of the Chicago writers has finished
his task and is halting between two pub
fishers the playwright has had most
satisfactory interview with Mrs. Fiske,
to whom he read his drama, all COM
pleted, before the famous actress finished
her recent engagement in this city; and
the other Chicagoan, Will Payne, has
deposited his manuscript with Houghton,
Miff1in & Co., who will soon be sending
back page proofs for final revision.
Mr.. Payne's new book is called "The
Story of Eva" 1t tells of young
woman from Nebraska village who
comes to Chicago to find position and
make her own way. She secures place
in subscription-book publishing con-
Germ at a small stipend. She has two
winning traits-good humor and plenty
of pluck. Naturally she meets other
young women and some young men in
her own walk of life. She keeps trying
for something better to do, and finally
gets to be cashier in a fourishing down
stairs restaurant on LaSalle street.
This, of course, gives some local color.
But the particular thing is that, in the
publishing house, she meets a young
man from New England of an upbring-
ing and tradition quite different from
hers, and they fall in love. The story
takes them through fashionable family
hotel (after their fortunes mend), where
another social phase comes in, which,
as Mr.. Payne mildly argues, gets them
into as much trouble as a reader could
reasonably expect for $3.50, cloth.
Earlier the action of the story lies on
the West Side, where Eva and her friend,
a stenographer, room together. Later
the scene switches to the South Side.
Finally it is just love story. Mr..
Payne's work is clear-cut, incisive,
descriptive. He is good portrait paint
er, writer with subtle grasp of the
humanities, sketching on broad canvas
and with DELIGHTFUL freedom from con-

Yuan Shi Kai, who succeeds Lii Hung
Chang as viceroy Of China. is the best
appointment that could have been
made from all China, according to Mr.
Rockhill, the special commissioner Of
the United States to Pekin.
He came originally from the province
Of Human. where ne began his public
career as a military officer. He was
made minister to Korea, and for many
years ably defended the Chinese inter
ests in that troubled land. As gov
ernor OF Shantung he showed surpris-
ing ability in tranquilizing that dan
gerous province. while his gift for di-
plomacy was exercised fully in pre-
venting friction between the turbulent
population Of the peninsula and the
Germans, when the latter were steadily
encroaching from their original hold
ings at KiaochOu on the north coast.
AS q military man Yuan showed his
ability by the organization of what is
undoubtedly the best military force in
China, and it was his troops that oc-
cuDied Pekin last summer when the
foreign forces were Withdrawn.
They are thoroughly disciplined and
well differed. and considering Chinese
conservatism, they form a magnificent
display of Yuans ability.
Wang Wen Shao, who is made dep
uty yicerOy Of China. is also a man OF
marked ability. Fortunately. he has
always been friendly to foreign ideas
and is not a reactionist. He was one
OF the grand secretaries Of state. and
is at present one of the two ministers
appointed to form the new Chinese for
eign Office which viii replace the tsung
