IN THE DAYS OF THOMAS JEFFER-

IN THE DAYS OF THOMAS JEFFER-
SON. By Hezekiak Butterworth.
Published by ID. Appleton and COM
pany. New York. Price S1.50.
Hezekiak Butterwcrth's story of the
youth of Thomas Jefferson is probably
intended primarily to be n boys book
but it is so entertaining and contains
so many strong and vivid pictures of
Virginia life in the Colonial days, that
the boys elders will also like to read
it. The boy Thomas Jefferson is the
chief character of the book. but
among his friends are Dabney Carr,
Patrick Henry. Merriwether Lewis, and
John Randolph, all taking part in the
story. There are two or three pictur
esque characters, among them an old
fellow, a Knight of the Golden Horse
shoe. an active eXpansionist. who urg-
es jefferson to cross the mountains and
go to the west. Jefferson eventually
fulfills the hopes of the ardent old
knight by the Louisiana purchase.
The story of the friendship between
Jefferson and Dabney Carr and the in
SEPARATION the two boys got from one
another. from the woods and from the
history that then was making in Nir
ginia. is excellently told. The book is
full of early Americanism and is good
as a historical picture as well as
good story.

Pants are made for men, not
for women. Women are made
for men, not for pants. When
a man pants for a woman, and
a woman pants for a man they
are a pair of pants. Such pants
don't last Pants are like mo-
lasses-they are thinner IN hot
weather and thicker in cold.
Men are often mistaken in
pants; such mistakes are
breaches of promise. There
has been much discussion
whether pants is singular or
plural. Seems to us when men
wear pants its plural and when
they don't it is singular. Men
go on tear in their pants and
it is all right. When the pants
go on tear it is all wrong. If
you want to make pants last,
make the coat first. Elk.
