"a COLORADO COLONEL"
BY WIN. c. CAMPBELL.

When railroad attorney turns his
hand to literary work his books are
not likely to be dull. His calling is
in itself a suggestion of life, hustle and
variety, and his point of view is natu-
rally that of the traveller and cosmopol-
itan. IA Colorado Colonel and Other
Sketches" by William Carey Camp
bell, is chiefly remarkable for the fact
that it is permeated in every line by
the spirit of the West. A western story
written by a tenderfoot is invariably
as much off color as is a western land
scape painted by an eastern artist from
photograph. In both, while the out
lines may be wholly western, the at
mosphere is that of the East.
Mr.. Campbell lives in Prescott, Ari-
zona, and is general attorney for the
Santa Fe & Phoenix railway and the
Prescott & Eastern railroad. Formerly
he lived in Topeka, Kansas, and he is
substantially product of the West.
Hence in describing western scenes and
western people he never touches n
false note. His westerners live and
breathe in their natural atmosphere.
/ His book consists of one tolerably
long story, "A Western Colonel" and
nineteen shorter sketches of life and
scenes in Kansas, Oklahoma, Colorado,
New Mexico and Arizona. The story
and sketches are alike kaleidoscope
and in some instances unstudied and
sketchy after the impressionist style.
The delightful Colonel Golden s. Fer
guson is mine promoter or boomer"
of the Colonel Sellers style, and his
peculiarities are exaggerated in the
story to the point of the burlesque.
The romance is furnished by, the love
N
fortune it is to become associated with
him.
After saying that the local coloring
is always perfect, the character of the
short sketches will be pretty well sug-
gested by their titles, which are as
follows: ''The Bucking Bronco"
"Quien Sabe?" THE Eagle and the
Jackrabbit," "A Cat Creek Conversa-
tion," 'The Backsliding at Cat Creek"
I'm Arizona" "Soda Springs Smith,"
Governor for Five Minutes" pixies
Peak by Moonlight" Colonel Jackson
of Colorado" "The Medicine Man."
THE Passing of Jack Thompson"
"The Opening of the Cherokee Strip"
christmas on the Huerfano," Heap
Big Injun," Fables of the Desert" "a
Kansas Emigrant,' "At the Bright
Angel Trail" 1.-The Cow Catcher"
While there is muck quiet humor and
some exaggeration in the stories, they
are in NO way sensational. They are
smoothly and entertainingly written
and make easy reading. A few of
them appeared in magazines or news
papers before they were put in book
form.
The work is handsomely illustrated
by n large number OF half tones from
photographs and drawings. The ty-
biography. paper, presswOrk and bind
ing are highly creditable to the pub
fishers. Messrs. Crane & Company of
Topeka, Kansas.

A GREAT MAGNET.
Such is tho Character of the Planet We In
habit.

habit.
While we know that the earth is
magnet, no one Is able to say what
makes it so. The fundamental secret
of terrestrial magnetism has not been
solved. Then, too, there are various
changes in direction which mark the
behavior of the needle that remains
to be explained.
These questions are often asked:
"What influence is 1t that makes the
needle swing to and fro to a micro
scopic extent every day? Why Is 1t
that the diurnal swing is greater in
years of sun spot abundance than at
the minimum stage of solar activity?
Why do the indications of the needle
differ in summer from those of winter?
What is the key to the mystery Of the
long period movement that makes 1t
necessary to rechart the situation?
What causes the convulsive behavior
of the magnets for few hours or days
when there is great outbreak OF
sun spots? And is there any relation
between the weather and the fiuctun-
tions in the earth's magnetism" There
are theories on these subjects, but no
generally accepted doctrines, but the
human mind is so constituted that 1t
will not rest until further light Is OBJ
tained
