Childhood Classics" edited by Uncle
Charlie, is collection of Mother Goose
melodies and stories, nursery rhymes and
fairy tales in one book. 1t seems to be
happy idea to publish such a combination,
a genuine mothers textbook that will
amuse and delight every member of the
family, faom the youngest to the oldest.
For after all, nothing can take the place
of those wonderful old ditties. sprung
from the hearts of fond mothers and
grand mothers. nor can we ever do with
out the fascinating stories of Cinderella,
the Sleeping Beauty in the Woods, Little
Thumb, Bluebeard, Puss in Boots, Dame
Virgins and her Seven Cats, or Cock Rob
bin and Jenny Wren, these most beloved
children of the imagination of the race The
publishers have equipped the volume with
s fine illustrations in and colors, that
will charm the boys and girls as they are
real works of art. And there are hundreds
of other pictures, explanatory of the
text. The beautiful poem, "Will you
read to me tonight" very appropriately
used as an introduction or dedication,
will give genuine pleasure to every low
ing mother.

The Fiction Number of Scribners Ma
gazine has become an institution For
fourteen years it has appeared every Au
gust with it's wealth of beautiful illustra-
tration, much of it in color: its short
stories by famous writers, and the first
remarkable stories of entirely unknown
writer's who soon became famous. The
Fiction Number this year is a notable
successor in this series. AS the earliest
attempts at color printing in an Ameri-
can Magazine appeared here, it is fitting
that the best modern color pictures should
adorn this number They are of great
variety in method }and design. The cover
is an elaborate and beautiful reproduction
of a design by A. E. Foringer. The from
tispiece, by Walter Appleton Clark, (who
illustrates this and succeeding numbers
of Mrs. Wharton's serial "SanctUary,D
is a charming drawing in a delicate color
scheme of grays and mauVe. Frank
Brangwyn, the eminent British marine
artist, has four full-page paintings of
starlight in the eighteenth century.
Drawings by Child and j. ]. Gould are
reproduced in tint. Altogether this num-
Der is artistically one of the most sumptu-
Gus produced by this magazine.

THE HARKRIDERS, by Ople Reed,
$50 pages, illustrations, in two col
ors, ornamental cover in four colors.
Price $3.50 Publishers: Laird and Lee,
Chicago.
Opie Reads latest novel, THE Hark-
riders" is another great success, likely
to prove the most popular among this au-
thor's literary efforts. Every one of the
rcmancer's great powers of characterize
ton and narration is grandly brought to
play; the master hand is recognized In
every line and color The people described
are intensely human and natural inter
esting from the first introduction, and fa-
miliar and dear to the reader, like be-
loved friends, to the very end The plot
is charming triple love story, set III a
garland of scenes full of wholesome hui
NOR, drollery and happy repartee. Only
once, at the beginning, are the reader s
heartstrings touched with deeper pathos,
after which the laughing Muse seems to
reign OF course there are tears again,
but not in the eyes of the smiling reader,
amused by the whims and antics of the
Major and the Colonel and their loving
people, all so dignified and good and yet
so laughable; warm, balmy sunshine lies
over the whole. There is graphic de-
scription of a fox hunt, a feature bound
to attract readers. The publishers have
equipped the volume in a handsome, ar
tistic manner, making it especlany ac-
ceptable as a library and gift book.

The fountain Mutual Fire Insurance
Company.


Hon. D. M. Richards, president of the
above named solid and energetic FIRE as
surance corporation of Denver. was in
town this week. Mr.. Richards makes a
strong plea for the support of all worthy
and substantial home enterprises. Colo
RADIO sends far too much money to outside
financial centers for fire Insurance. There
is no good reason for this as the state has
the business men and the financial
strength to do all the fire insurance busi-
ness at home. During the last twenty
years the people of Colorado have paid
for insurance twenty-seyen million dollars
and received back for losses only twelve
million. Ii this fifteen million dollars
profit could have been kept at home great
and lasting benefits would have resulted.
The plan Of the Mountain Mutual Co. If
adopted by the state would save large
portion Of this needless expenditure
ment for insurance far beyond what the
risks demand. Mutual Fire Insurance is
extremely popular everywhere east and
south OF US. Near one-third OF the entire
insurance east Of US is already carried in
Mutual companies with very sure prom
Use that a great majority Of all the insur-
anee in the patton will soon be carried by
this method.
Tho Mountain Mutual is leader among
the Mutual companies OF the west and
property holders can save themselves
much money by investigating its claims.
You will get the most reliable Of insurance
at much less than old-line rates. For
