! We have just gone over batch of
fiction, good, bad and Indifferent, the
bulk of it deserving little notice; but
since this space is for book reviews, a
briaf mention, perhaps. may not come
amiss for the readers of this column.
"Bylow Hill' is most unpleasant

Gus man Cor woman either III real life,
much less in a book. and this young
husband is beyond the bounds of all
reason and liberation. 1t is true he may
serve as a warming to others, but such
examples don't leave a wholesome taste

far enough to see what became of him,
but suITnise the author kills him off be-
fore he gets thru with him. Had he
been the hero of my story would have
killed him before he got into the book
and broke his wifes heart.
A much better and more wholesome
story is The Virginian." by Owen Wis
ter. The Virginian that names the story
is a cowboy-a fresh and original char

owlback novel. Because of its manli-
ness and evident truthfulness We sus-
pect Mr.. Wister has himself been a
cowboy and knows something of the
life he portrays-i. e., the rough, brutal,
lawless life of the plains as it was
twenty years ago. His nature studies
as we'll as his human portrayals are
strong and clear.
A sunny little tale, deserving the pop
ularity it has received, is Mrs. Wigs
of the Cabbage Patch,t a book chock
full of humor hope and happy cheer.
Mrs. Wigs is quite an original philoso-
pher in her way. and worthy of Dick
ems touch. but her readers will doubt
the always happy outcome of all her
and antics. AS a rule, that
easy going class of philosophers that
depends upon Providence and takes no
anxiety for the morrow does not meet

luck 1t has about it the flavor of a
Sunday school book, but is great inn
on the old-fashioned sort.

IOWA OPINIONS AND NOTES.

In regard to an eight hour day the
Denison Review observes that at would
give the laboring man more hours OF
leisure, more time for the refinements Of
life, for reading, for culture, for en-
joyment. While this change would be
desirable it would, like any other
change, be fraught with hardships to
many and would force new standard
of living upon all the people" The Re-
view believes ''the true theory at this
time would be to establish an hours
work as the basis Of wages
The Maquoketa Excelsior is opposed
to the ship subsidy bill. In it's opinion.
while there is possibility that a ship
subsidy properly distributed and adj
might temporarily at least
tend to build up an American merchant
marine, yet we feel very sure that the
which 1t viii be attempted to
pass is not one which is calculated to
distribute the government
aims"
The Sioux City Tribune thinks there.
Is no reason to doubt that the Washing
ton government is watching the vene-
znelan business like a hawk. but 1t is
keeping mighty quiet about It,"
The Council Bluffs Nonpareil declares
that "the tax ferret isn't altogether
desirable adjunct of our taxation sys-
tenn, but he seems to be necessary in

The authorship of Little Breaches"
written by Secretary John Hay, was
frequently attributed to the late Bret
Harte. A young lady on being intro
duced, said to him:
