OF travel.
The writer describes the out-of- the wa

style OF treatment quite unique. In the
chapter called "A voyage of misery and
happy ending she writes: IF the food

Publishing Co.. .-...:.z..z.,. -.
This book is written along original lines.
It is written in the spirit Of the broadest
humanity and patriotism. It is well cal.
culated to promote goOd-feeling and
mutual helpfulness between the races
between white and black. The fact ls
recognized that they are neighbors-that
they, occupy the same country, and will
occupy it for generations to come-that a
mutual understanding and mutual good
will will best serve the interests OF both.
It will impress the Afro-American man
and the Afro American boy with the pos
1sibilities of achievement. The book gives
an array OF success in life reached by rep
resentative sAfro-Americans that Will not
fail TO raise the standard and kindle the
aspirations of every AfrO-American man
and boy. It will likewise serve to im-
press the white reader with the vast
the. emancipation. This achievement is
such as to win for him universal respect
and 8; universal confidence In his future
It is written from the standpoint Of
affection and good will for the race. The
association OF the name Of Gen. John B.
Gordon, by way Of introduction, whose
services as governor Of his state. as
United States senator, as a distinguished
general, has won admiration and uni
versal regard, is a guarantee Of the great
character and high purpose OF the book
rs It is a book not only for the Afro
American but for the Caucasian Its
establishment to him. 20

Social Life in the Early Republic. By
Anne Hollingsworth Wharton. Pro
fusely illustrated. 8vo. ,Buckram, gilt
pliia: J. B. Lippincott Company.
Within the last year. or. two there has
been written a good deal Of interesting
reading matter dealing with the early
life Of the. Republic and of the colonial
period. Much of the matter. that has
been given to the public bears the stamp
of hastiness and i'll preparation, and can
| hardly be classed as standard literature.
Anne Hollingsworth Wharton, however; in
Social Life in the Early Republic" has
| written historically and WELL. This lady
has made profound study of the colon
| ial period, and the previous volumes which
she has written dealing with the men,
the politics and the tragic events of that
most strenuous period of development and
evolution was not only we'll received by
| the reading people, but caused them to
look forward with much expectation to
exhaustive.
The first chapter on "A Social Evolu-
| tom carries one. straight to the heart
of the subject, without any of the sicken-
| ing little prologues or apologies which
usually characterize works of this class.

In discussing the landed gentry Of thu

In a chapter on "Jeffersonian Simple

When Mrs. Madison gave expression tt
her sweeping structures upon Democrats
in favor of Mr.. Jefferson, with whom
she was a. great favorite. Indeed it was
in consequence Of Mr.. Jefferson's having

CHIPS, FRAGMENTS AND VEsTIGES.
Chips, Fragments and Vestiges. BY
Gail Hamilton: . Collected G ana arran gSa
81 20 net Boston: Lee & Shepard.
The writer belongs to the class Of minor
poets; but her songs chiefly become OF
interest because of the very tender age
ing. @'The Rose was written when she
was but nine years of age; and when one
considers the precocity OF chlld OF
nine writing attractive if not great verse,
one has discovered the chief interest In
Gail Hamilton'S songs.
Sympathy is the dominant note IN her
verse which can not be" said at any time
to reach the level of genius.
The Last Indian possesses cons1o-
cradle dramatic power.
''He heard the autumn's whistling winds,
The waves low, sullen roll
And darker deeper gloom o'erspread
Osconeoma's SOUL"
Beneath the forest shade reposed
The ashes Of his race;
And there his own, he long had hoped
Would find resting place.,
The author then recOuntS the sad emo
of OscOneoma, the last of his race, ana
reminds the reader very much of certain
passages in Hiawatha.
The Youth at the Fountain is one OF
the poems which approach mastery OF
form and technique:
I'm the sunny CLEAN of the fountain
The youth his chaplet 1aves,
And he sees it hurried seward
In the dance Of the wanton waves.
And so are my young days passing
Like the streamlet restless on,
And so is MY fresh youth fading. :.
Like the wreath, and as quickly gone
The poem on Hope is one of the strong
est in the volume:
"Men talk and dream of that better land,
Home of our weary race -
On to glowing sunlet goal -.
They lead the eager chase. -
The world grows old and young again. z
Yet man hopes on mid toll and pain.

From The Clarion.

Mr.. S ehwein of Bushton lost a
barn and valuable horse Thursday
evening by fire.
Pickerill & Hill bought one hun
dred loads of wheat to-day which at
an average of So bushels per load
would amount to $500 bushels.
Fred Schadle who used to live out
near Odin, was up from his new home
in Pratt county the first of the week:
to visit with his many cid friends here.
A number of fields of wheat have
already been threshed and the aver
age has been II to 221 bushels per
acre. The crop here will probably
average throughout about 20 bushels
per acre, and it is of good quality.
The school ground seems to be a
favorit camping spot for travellers
who strike the town and the lite
around the building makes it look
more like feed yard than a school

to invoke the aid of the law.
There is such thing as getting too
gay; and Claflin has one or two indi-
viduals that certainly belong in this
E'too gay class. Twice during the

a drunk or gambler, and as many
times some low specimen of the hu
