estly hoped it will not reach our pretty
little town.
The sad news of the death Of Miss

late resident on the Alrich farm near
Port Penn, was received here Sunday

No finer little lady than Dorothy
Dainty was ever placed in a book for
children, and it would be hard to find
so pretty a book as the one which tells
of her and her playmates. Dorothy
and her little friends, Mollie and Flos-
sic, belong to the best families in every
sense of the word, and kindness and
good breeding are so natural to them
and bring so much happiness that OPP
posite qualities seem odious by con-

WESTERN WOMAN is
WRITER OF STORIES
St. Paul Product Attracts At
tention of Literary World
News of Books and Writers.

Another Western woman is becoming
known in the literary world through
her clever stories, and that is Mrs.
Anna Warner French. Mrs French
is the daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. Will
liam Warner of st. Paul, and up to a
dozen years ago lived in this city; at
that time she married Minneapolis
man and has resided there since with
the exception of last winter which she
spent in st. Paul. She writes short
stories which are becoming known
there is one in Munsey's this month
and signs them Anna Warner.
a new novel, from the pen Of Mar
garet Horton Potter, of Chicago, is to
be published this week by A. c. Nc
Clurg, of Chicago, and will undoubted-
~ attract attention. Miss Potter is
only twenty-three now and this will be
her fourth novel. 1t will be remem-
bered that her first book, "Uncanon-
iZed," was considered a very remarka-
BILE performance from several points of
view. She was only nineteen when it
was written and yet the reviewers
found it impossible to pick flaws in the
accuracy of her historical references,
and even veteran literary light took
her work seriously and predicted for
her bright future. The present book,
which Miss Potter is putting out, is
entitled THE Castle of Twilight" and
the story concerns the conditions of
women during feudal times. She pic
lures the life of three lonely women in
the Castle of Twilight, and the book
gives evidence of much study and re-
search.
Although some of the critics have
numerically slashed Mr.. James Lane
Allen for his "Mettle of the Pasture"
and said it was unworthy of him and
his poorest book, ETC., In England it has
been much praised and only served to
give him greater fame. The English
literary world classes him with Haw-
thorne and Howells, and buys his books
in large numbers. One English critic
says that the publication of novel by
Mr.. Allen is a real event in the literary
world, and that of all American novel;
lists his work stands out for its style
and sincerity.
