Fanny Young Cory, and no one will ques-
ZION the discrimination of the young
critics. Miss Cory has come forward
within the last two or three years, and
has made the drawing of children her
special effort. Magazine readers are thor
oughly familiar with her style, which is
simple and direct to the last degree, and
1T is hard to say when the happy inno-
cence of childhood has found a more
sympathetic interpreter. Miss Cory has
just finished a series of drawings for a
new book of nonsense prose and verse
by Carolyn Wells, which will be pub
lished by A. c. McClurg & Co. this fall.
They are in her most engaging manner,
and when the cleverness of the author
is considered, it is easy to imagine
what a treat awaits the children in this
book, which is named "The Pete and
Polly Stories.''

Most of the publishers have returned
from their summer vacations, put on the
garb of their offices and made their an
nual fall bows to the public. From now
on until the end of December. their adj
vertising representatives will sound the
cymbals and pound the drums in the hope
of attracting public attention. At any
rate some of the stories told by these
makers of fame for authors will be equal
to those contained in the books. When
some one remarked that the best fiction
writer any publisher had was his adver-

year. 1t is probable that the increased

more books for this year, and the hope

fewer books might be issued will have
to be given up.

'The Story of Strange Career

Hutchens Hapgood, are two books OF
similar character to be issued soon. The
story of the convict is said to have been
secured by Mr.. Waterloo in manuscript

that the author has taken this method

WILLIAM ALLEN WHITE IN HARNESS

William Allen White has got into the
game again. and takes the leading place
in the September McClure's with an arti-
Gle on Cuban Reciprocity, a Moral Is

beet roots and insurgents and the admin

happens to be Mr.. Whites policy, too.

six months. To judge by the style of it,
however Mr.. Whites convalescence is

SIOUX FALLS. S. D., Oct. 20.-(Special
Telegram.)-Judge Jones of the state cir
cult court, in this city today, ordered
the discharge as a result of habeas corpus
proceedings Of Sheldon HaSdenbrook, who is
wanted in Cass county, Minnesota, on the
charge Of seduction. This ends a case which
has been fought before Governor Herreid
and Judge Jones for some little time. Sher-
III Hardy of Cass county arrived here about
two weeks ago and caused Hardenbrook's
arrest. He finally secured requlsition pa
pers from Governor Herreid, which, how
ever, proved to be defective and he was
required to secure a new set of papers.
Then attorneys for Hardenbrook secured a
writ Of habeas corpus and a portion of two
days were spent arguing the matter be-
fore Judge Jones. HardenbroOk has now
been given his liberty by Judge Jones on
the ground that under the laws Of Mime
sofa the statute of limitation, which pro-
vides that an indictment in such
cases must be brought within two years
from the time of the commission Of the
crime, had expired and consequently prose-
cution was barred. Tit papers In the case
stated that the alleged crime was CON
mitted September 80, 1900. The attorneys
for the Minnesota officials admitted in court
here that no indictment had been returned
up to this time.
