The foregoing remarks are also
prompted by remarkable speech re.
Gently made by Senator Daniel A.

framed expressly for the purpose of
placing the judiciary nominations In

the past week and the Judges have

Mr.. barrow down to Springfield.
Among those who sought the Chicago
ans eur on the floor of the Legislature
were many repr, scntatives of the Chit
cago City Hall machine. several Of
whom made special trips to Spring
field for the apparent purpose of dis
suading him from entering the Mayor
atty race. Mr.. barrow. however, gave
these emissarics no assurances, and
when he left for st. Louis his friends
were clatcd over their interviews with
him respecting the Mayornlty s.tua.

At any rate. it would seem as II the

trouble for their pains. for no matter
how Mr.. barrow may ultimately de-
eide in the premises. the labor vote Of
Chicago Is surely lost tn Harrison.

AN INTERESTING COOK.

-Four Little Indians" by Ella Mary
Coates. Uienry 4. CoatesJ
This Is not II story of real live lndi-
ans, hut Is u tale Of the adventures Of
four American children who stain their
faces and hands with walnut juice,
adopt Indian names, and so upon the
warpath.
The three healthy boys, AMI ont
equally active girl, who form the band
are not particularly dangerous, and
their dcpredatlOns, with one or tive
exceptions, are carried on In the imme
date vicinity OF the nursery. The
wOOdpile AT the back of the house con
stitutes the council chamber, ana thu
stableman's cOrncob Is temporarily nb
stracted from its accustomed place n
the harness room, when, In the course
Of savage diplomacy, 1t becomes nee
cssary to smoke the pipe of peace.
These terrifying Sioux Indians forget
warfare long enough to entertain al
luncheon, in their tepee ut the camp On
the creek, at which the guests of honor
are the mother and aunt of the war
riOrs. This departure from the Gus
toms of the race results In the death OF
two captive wild animals, of which the
Indians are very fond. But the pass
ing away of the pets proves to be d
blessing In disguise, as 1t gives the tribe
an opportunity to indulge In the pleas
urc of an Indian funeral; for, by d
small stretch of the Imagination, thu
dead animals become famous chiefs
who have just departed for the happy
hunting grounds.
The children enjoy the pretending
very much, but by the time the walnut
stain has worn off their faces the game
has become little tiresOme, and they
are quite willing to return to their OWL
characters of civilization and well-be
haved children.
The story is a pleasant and whole
some one for young readers, and con
talns many lessons in consideration
and kindness, admirably interviewer
with Its fun and frOlics.

OARR0W YIELDING 10 FRIENDS.

Dispatches from Springfield. ILL.,, on
Wednesday last seemed to indicate
that Hon. Clarence =. barrow, while
he had not yet given out any definite
statement, seemed to be yielding to the
solicitations Of his friends to become

to he profoundly impressed with the
magnificent welcome accorded him on
his arrival here from the East, and
with the suspicious conditions with
which his candidacy would he UNI

That he would receive the enormous

he would receive also u heavy Demo

No candidate ever entered n Mayor

prospects than would Mr.. barrow
should he consent to make the race,
and that he fully appreciates this

these advlces Mr.. barrow, In talking
with his friends there, discussed the
makeup of the ticket aside from The

make any statement for publication.
