which are exclusively devoted to short
stories. London publishers recently stat
ed that a. volume Of short stories by a.
wen-knoWn author will sell not more than
70 per cent as compared with the contin-
uous novel. This is very probable. It
may be the case in this country, but 70
per cent, as compared with sales of a con-
tlnuous novel by a popular writer, is do
ing very well. The fact remains that the
short story is extremely popular lin this
country, and magazines which print the
pest OF such literature enhance their pop
ularity greatly. According to the London
Mails book reviewer, the only modern
authors whose selling reputation depends
on volumes of collected stories are Kip

An Earned Victory.

The victory Of the Minnesota uni

the better team won. The improve

eleven in the past three. weeks has been
remarkable. 1t has surprised it's most SAN
guine friends byits rapid gain in knowledge
Of the game, in team work, in speed and
individual play.
This great advance has been brought
about by a combination of forces that
Minnesota has not enjoyed for several
years. DR.. Williams, probably the best
coach in the west, had the assistance in
preparing his men of the veteran FUDGE
Heffelhnger and a number of Minnesota s

With DR.. Williams to plan and teach
the formations and direct strategy, and
with the other coaches to show the men the
rudiments and higher education of the
game from the individual players stand
Grating upon such splendid football ma
terial as the university has in abundance,
were bound to develop a great eleven.
T h Q our a hopes to see this CON-
b1nation continue to work in the interests
of winning football, or, better, the best
possible football, at the university, and
it is glad to observe that DR.. Williams
promptly and generously gives credit for
all the assistance he has had. During the
next week DR.. Williams should have all
the help he needs. Just little more pol

MAYHEM was one of the maids of Margaret

had appointed her Regent Of the Neither

there is much history told in most at

JACK AND HIS ISLAND. By Lucy NJ. Thrus-

In several ways, this book is neither
fish, flesh nor fowl. 1t is called a story Of
the war Of 1872, but while the war Incl
dents are there, still the island life fills
more than half the book. Aside from the
causes which stranded Jack and Tom
Marshall there, the life might have been
that Of to-day. 1t is pastel copy of Rob-
inSon CruSoe and Friday, with only the fin
est thread Of connection with the war.
Moreover. the author has made the mis-
take altogether too common by the writers
for young people to-day, of Juggling in the
heart interest. Tom Marshall has his
sweetheart among the young ladies at the
hall on the mainland while the boy Jack
is not far behind in his affair with the
youngest OF the flock, mere child in years
and ideas. Neither of these affairs bears
any relation to the story, either as story
pure and simple. or as historical tale
Of the war of 1872. The book is we'll writ
ten, however. and in the early chapters,
the storming of the Jail by the mob is de-
scribed with much power.
