The scene of this story is laid in Cali
fornia, where the author. Mrs. NJ. Frances
Delaney. lives. A preface states that she is
a partial invalid from a painful accident.
but this does not appear in the buoyant
spirit and rollickipg humor of the story,
which has much the atmosphere of a COM
edy. The illustrations representing charac-
tiers in the story are evidently taken from
life, and probably represent scenes in anna
teur theatricals. The pages are rather
marred by an excess of italics, which do
not serve any particular purpose. New

Books Owned and Books borrowed.

w. ID. Howells. in Harper's Magazine
The way to health is through the owner
ship of the books we read. and books ere
now SO cheap that hardly any one who real
ly loves them need deny himself the fine
rapture of feeling them his. A book bor-
rowed, whether from a public or a private
source is always burden. You must think
about returning il, under penalty of money
or remorse. But a book bought is a liberia
ton of the soul from all sordid anxieties
concerning it, and an enlargement of the
mind such as borrowed book can never
be If YOU borrow books you are i'm danger
of borrowing more than you can read; but
you are never in danger of buying more
books than YOU can read, unless YOU buy
them for show. in which case you cannot
really own them: for there is this peculiar
ity in the ownership of books that the pur-
chase is not completed till you have read
them. Then. when you have them in your
heart and your head, YOU may put them on
your shelf secure that, whatever misfor-
tune befalls you, your property in them
cannot be wholly alienated.

The short story Problem.


New York Times
Why is it that the public, which appar-
entity delights in short stories when pre-
scented i'm magazines, gives them scant no
tice when republshed i'm books? The an
swer IS simple. The ten-cent maya zine
has killed the volume of short stories as
a commercial commodity. For 30 or 40
cents one can buy ten or twelve new sto-
ries in ten-cent magazines. while one has
10 pay $l,25, at least, for the same number
of old ones in book form. Let the price
of the volume of short stories be so re-
duced that il can compete with two or
three ten-cent magazines; let it be bound
in paper covers and sold for a quarter or
80 cents. and the trouble of which Mr.
HOwelS complains would be removed
Many a tresome journey would be hight
ened if the casual purchaser of volume
of short stories did not feel in duty bound
to preserve the book for his library Just
because it contained the portrait of his
faVorite author, because il was prettily
bound. because the deckel edges gave it
the appearance of elegance, or more espe-
cially because he had been obliged to
spend as much for it as would have sup
pied him with ten-cent magazines for
half dozen similar Journeys.

This story. by Maxwell Gray, author of
The Silence of Dean Maitland" etc, is
characterized in subtitle as IAN Every
day Romance and it has a degree of
Haturalness and versimilitude that justifies
the designation. 1t is story of English
life the scene being laid in England except
when ii shifts for a time, as to one of the
characters. an officer in the army, TO India.
1t IS essentially love story, and the plot
turns largely on the part played by a four
leaved clover which brought luck TO the
lovers and final happiness out of what
seemed to be dark situation. The story

This book, as it's name would suggest, is
not a book 10 be commended. The author,
Louis NJ. Elshamus, is a man of liberal
education, an artist. a poet, a musical
composer and a traveller. He is now in the
East, going from Hawaii to Samoa, where
ne hopes to find the island natives less ad-
Vanced in civilization than the Hawaiian
people. He has been an extensive reader;
certainly. nothing with a universal ten
dency has escaped him. His style is vigOr-

wonder that Anthony COmstock has not
given attention 10 the "Devils Diary" as
he has suppressed many less pernicious
books. The Abbey Press. New York.

SCHOOL OF MINES.

N. r. Leonard, president Of the school
of mines at Butte. is now in this city
comforting with legislators anent the APP
preparation to be asked for that institu-
ton in the general appropriation bill.
I'VE will ask the legislature to give us
$4,000 for equipment" he said last even
ing, lin order that we may make the in
stitution more effective. In addition. We
will ask for new heating plant. which
will cost nearly $6,000 and for dormi-
tory. The dormitory may cost $4,000. In
addition to these amounts. the institu-
ton will require the regular annual APP
preparation for its maintenance"
President Leonard is opposed to group
ing all the state institutions at one place,
as proposed in a bill introduced at the
present session. He believes that it would
have been a good thing, from the stand
point of economy. if this had been done
before all the institutions were located
at different points. In addition, the resi-
dents of the places We're the various in
situations are now located would feel
aggrieved and might maintain an I'M
friendly attitude toward state institu-
tons in the future.

A WANDERING GRAPHITE.

Representative Lannin has arisen in all
the feet and inches of his manhood and
declared that "all the pledges made to
the people by the party prior to election
must be kept" The declaration of this
worthy exponent of fusionocracy raises
several important questions. In the first
place, what party does he n1can-it being
admitted that the fusionists represent
several species of the party political?
When this query, which naturally occurs
to a tyro, is answered in reasonable
manner, the others can be taken in their
turn.

which Representative Hill is chairman,

at Boulder Mr. Hill, who has broken

through the ''peephole' in the curtain.
Not person in the house, and the
doors had been opened twenty five min

Mr. Norcross sent for the manager Of
the theater and asked for an aXplana-
ton. He got none at that time, but
was asked if the entire company was
in the theater, ready to give the per-
Torrance, as advertised. The reply was
Yes Then the manager said. Don't
worry: you'll have & packed house.
Look through the peephole at $50 and
see for YOURSELF
Mr. Norcross did as told, and was
astonished as we'll as pleased to find
every seat occupied. He was very Curl

rush and sent for the manager, who
explained as follows:

sion, now a law. is a pretty good law.
Professor Traphagen spoke again. to
the effect that he hoped the drug feature
of the bill would not kill it.
Senator Hoffman said that he was will

motion prevailed. Its passage was then
recommended and the bill was made eff
