AMONG THE BOOKS
George AIDES New Book Is Most
Refreshing.
Proves He Is Not Alone a
Writer of Slang.
MADE UP OF SKETCHES
Work OF Author While on the
Record Herald,
A Moving Picture of Life in
Chicago.
AIDE UP OF SKETCHES

In Babel, by George AIDE. Published by
Mcclure. Phillips & Co, New York
Price $1.5o.
Since critics of such unquestionable
authority as William Dean HoWells.
Lawrence Hutton and Henry Thurston
Peck have seen fit to commend his style
and pronounce him one of the ablest
writers of present day English no one
can justly dispute George AIDES title
to serious consideration as an author
The fact that his reputation rests al
most entirely upon humorous writings
and that he is famous principally as an
exponent of the clever, characteristic
and picturesque idiOm of the streets is
sufficient TO becloud his reputation with
some of the Unco' Proper but in his
latest book, In Babel" he departs from
his former field to some extent and peo-
PIE who do not care for his humor and
who object from principle to slang may
derive much enjoyment from it..
The book is merely a collection of
short sketches which first appeared in
the Chicago Record Herald when Mr..
partment, Stories of the Streets and
Town" for that newspaper. They have
been collected into book form, and the
author says in his introduction, are Of
fered with the hope that they may prove
an antidote to the slang with which the
reading public has been surfeited.
One or two sketches in the book are
strongly reminiscent of ''Artie" but the
slang is confined within quotation marks
and except when he is quoting the
words of his characters the authors
style is a notable example of pure and
fawless English. People who think
George AIDE can't write anything but
Fables in slang should read In Babel''
and be undeceived.
But in spite of this noticeable differ
ence-improVement some might say-the
new book shows all the strong common
dable features of his former publica-
tions. In Babel is a moving picture of
Chicago life, done with that delicate but
unerring touch, that fidelity to life, and
svincing the same keen perception and
humor which made his earlier books SO
refreshing.
George AIDE seems to know "all sides
of life and some of the corners" as his
late felloW-worker in slang said and
therein lies his chief charm. His humor
is never strained his sentiment never
mawkish. 1t is life which he makes
you see. real men. real women in some
of their lighter, superficial phases and
though everything of which he writes
is so familiar to the experience of the
average man and woman it is all some
how quite different from anything that
has ever been done before in American
literature.

LEFT-HANDEDNESS
And Left-Sidedness Said to Be Inher-
tied from Savage Races.

Much has been written about left
handed people, but as no one has here
tofore tried to determine by means of
statistics how frequently they occur,
Prof Lombroso determined to under
take that task He made observations
upon 1,029 operatives and soldiers, and
found that the normal proportion was
per cent in men and to per cent in
women. Further research revealed the
fact that the proportion of left-nanded
people among criminals is very much
higher. So that Prof. Lombroso regards
as A new Characters
tic which connects criminals with saw
ages. among whom left-handedness is
not uncommon. His researches in this
direction led Prof. Lombroso to inquire
whether there is not also what one
might call left-sidedness - that is.
whether there are not people who have
a greater sensibility on the left side
than on the right He discovered that
left-sidedness exists in much larger pro-
portion than -handedness. and that
left-handed people do not have more
of this sensitive left-sidedness than
right-handed people In lunatics this
sensitive ft-sidedness is almost more
the rule than the exception; the con-
clusion being that left-handed people
and sensitive left-sided people among
Iunatics. LoTnbroso remarks:
sfAs man advances in civilization and
culture he shows an always greater
right-sidedness as compared to saw
ages. the masculine in this way outnum-
numbering children. Thus women and
savage races, even when they are not
properly 1eft-hauded, have certain ges-
lures and movements which are spe-
cies of left-hand edness- Some time ago
Delaunay observed that the man holds

out the right arm, which the woman
takes with the left; that the woman
buttons her clothes from right to left,
while the man does SO from left to
right, and that wolaen and children,
when they trace line or turn q key,
for instance, OF a watch, initiate the
movement from right to left, While the
adult man does SO always from left TO
right. This explains why, in early
times. and still among people little
civilized, such as the Arab race, the
writing was preferably from right to
left, which is the habit of children until
corrected. Delaunay even went SO far
in his observations as to discover that
antique ehronometers were wound from
right to left. while modern ones are
wound In the opposite direction.-North

MORE OF COLONEL GARTER.
Story of His Career Continued by F.
Hopkinson Smith.

Many people viii be interested in the
news that Mr.. F. Hopkinson Smith has
at last given to the public some further
details of the career of the celebrated
Colonel Carter of Gainesville. The new
story, the title of which is Colonel Car
ter's Christmas" will be published early
this month in a dress fitting its i'm
portance and great interest. Mr.. +. c.
Yohn has drawn eight illustrations
which will be reproduced in color. The
book will appear with the Scribner i'm
print, which is a guarantee of artistic
workmanship.
Any who are not acquainted with the
celebrated colonel viii make his &C
duaintance under the most fortunate cir
cumstances in this story, which is Il
new one not heretofore published, even
serially: while those who know him OF
old, and of course love him, will find
here, in addition to a renewal of an old
and delightful friendship, quite a new
revelation of character that has made
deep and lasting impression.
All the old characters are met again:
Chad. the colonePs servant, Nancy,
Fitz, Klutchem and the major, together
with two new ones. In the old story
the colonel triumphed financially; III
this one the issue hangs upon sheer
courtesy and nobility of heart. It is ii
tale that. for it's pathos, its humor and
its humanity, as we'll as for it's skillful
telling, will take a strong grip of its
readers.

The Gentle Shepherds Troubles.

Charlie Ortman. a gullible lad. who
claims 10 have seen twenty summers
and as many winters. and whose oc.
cupation is doing sentinel duty
over a regiment OF sheep, came In 20
Lewistown Monday to dispose OF the
money. which he had earned during
the past two months. He had about
thirty dollars In cash and check
from William Fergus a. Son for $50.
Very naturally he started 10 take on
large quantities OF sheepherders care
annihillator and before long was past
noticing things. His meanderings
took him over into the bad lands and
when he awoke yesterday morning II
was to find a little Hver in his pocket,
nothing more. He told one Of his EN-.
ployers, who happened TO be In town,
that he had lost the check. Fergus
thereupon gave him another and stop
ped payment at the bank on the first
check. Sometime before noon a sa-
loon keeper turned up at the bank
with the chek, having cashed II for
some smudgy damsel Of the unreclaim-
ed district The bank refused pay
ment and the saloon man went for the
Ortman boy. That worthy young
man, in the meanwhile. had cashed
his second check and bought a draft
with the proceeds and malled It, to
his folks in Pennsylvania. In COM

the cash and paid the saloon man.

BIG HAY RANCH.
Largest Of the Kind In the World 10
Gated In Beaverhead County.


Gated In Beaverhead County.
Anaconda, July 27.-Bielenberg &
Walker. OF this city. who own the larg
est hay ranch in the world. are at the
present time having considerable
trouble in getting enough help TO
properly harvest their enormous crop
this year, and at the present time il
is understood that they have large or
ders placed with some OF the employ
ment agencies Of Helena and Butte for
more men to work in their fields until
the crop is taken care Of
II is not generally known. but II is
fact, nevertheless, that these gentle
men own the largest ranch in all the
world that is devoted exclusively To
the raising Of hay. They own over
$4,000 acres in land In this and Beay-
erhead county, In what Is known as
the Big Hole country. on which moth
ing Is raised except hay. And, as n
matter of fact. they could not raise
anything else on account Of the high
elevation there.
The land is nearly all situated along
the Big Hole river. and is what Is
known as bottom land. They have
one piece of ground that contains
nearly 5000 acres In one large field,
and the amount of hay that is cut on
OF this every year is something enor,
nous.
At the present. time Bilenberg &
Walker have large sized army OF
men at work on their ranch, but the
supply is not equal to the demand, as
more men are needed every day.
II is estimated that the above firm
win put up nearly 10000 tons OF hay
th,s summer and that most Of II will
be used In feeding their stock during
the coming winter months. while the
remainder of Il will be baled for ship
ment to other parts of the country.
The hay crop OF the Big Hole valley
is said to be better this year than for
many years. the heavy rains late In
the season bringing about the desir.
ed results. and just at the time. too,
when most of the ranchers had des-
paired OF having any crop at all.
II can be safely said that at least
$50 men could find employment in the
hay fields OF the Big Hole country at
the present time. Good wages are be-
ing paid, and most OF the men EN-.
ployed are receiving $50 per month
and their board for 10 hours work.

KILLED BY POISON DIP.
Two Hundred and Fifty Head of Cat.
tie Belonuinu to Indians Dead.

wv 'fdubfCu anu Ffy t1cdQ OF Sdt-
tie Belonging to Indians Dead.
Helena, July 17.-State Veterinar-
ian M. E. Knowles returned from
Poplar, where he went last week to
investigate the sudden death of $50
head of cattle belonging TO the Indi-
ans OF the Fort Peck reservation. The
state veterinarian found that the cat
tie had died as a result of having
been dipped in a poisonous dip. which
had been sold to the agency by man
who represented that the dip con-
formed with the live stock regulation
of this state. The dip used was Of
carbolic acid.
There are but two dips for cattle
which can be recommended by this
office" Dr. Knowles said this after
noon. "One is the lime and sulphur
dip and the other is the tobacco and
sulphur dip. both of these are harm
less and stockmen should take care
and see that none others are used.
There are a number OF patent dips
on the market, but | would not advise
stockmen to use them. Some may be
harmless, but the incident at Poplar
proves that one of them at least Is
very deadly"
The state veterinarian left this ev.
ening for Billings to investigate the
quarantine breaking charge, which
has been made against a sheepherder
In the employ Of c. NJ. Darretch, who
is alleged to have broken quarantine
with 1000 scab infected sheep. The
herder has been placed under arrest.
I'VE can not hope to cope with
scab in this state" said DIR. Knowles
before leaving. unless quarantine
regulations are observed and / shall
endeavor to see that the law in this
matter is enforced to the letter"
