tives OF the honey and humble bees,
which they closely resemble. They de-
rive their name from the habit you
have observed OF cutting out bits of
leaves for their cells. The circular
pieces are for the ends of the cells and
the Oblong pieces for the sides. These
cells are usually in burrows cut into
wood. for some Of the leaf cutting bees,

Steve being rocked to sleep in "Zale's" canoe just as the sun dips behind the horizon.
 "The Oracle of Moccasin Bend" is not a psychological study. neither Is 1t a book out of which a problem play may be evolved, but 1t is thoroughly readable from beginning to end. It's quaintness Is fascinating and leads you on to the end where "zale" leaves the Bend for her new home in the north and ''rhe Oracle" rocked in her canoe reluctantly yet will ingly. departs on the journey of the un- known to join ''old Marse Aaron"
 In regard to the author. Miss Ritten- berry writes:
 Mrs. Beddow is of a timid shrinking Gis- position. and when asked about her life and how she came to write "The Oracle of Moccasn Bend" said:
 My life has been one of uneventful commonplace. I was born in Tennessee, educated in Chattanooga, reared and married on a farm under the shadow of Lookout mountain.
 As a girl did some local newspaper work and had dreams of becoming writ CT. but gave up the idea, when l mar ried. to look after household affairs and little folks But the old desire to write would creep up ever and anon.
 "The little folks having grown large enough to partly look after themselves the desire to write returned. The dreamy days of last October brought to mind some of the lovely autumn scenes of Lookout mountain. and the wish to put them on paper was irresistible Finally faces and words that seemed to belong to some f IT, gotten melody with the solt. cool breeze | of mountain blowing and sounding | through it. semed to look out from the scenes and beckon me to come and speak of a broader, fuller charity that people should hold in their thoughts for others. Then l overheard the conversation of several men in regard to books. One said that he liked a short, interesting bo)l ne that could be read on Sunday afternoon. Another said that he liked a little history but not too much and that many of the books of the day were long an1 tiresomt. Another would like to see some one write short readable book about real people, and of the present time. And from that conversation 1 took the order for my book and that Is how l came to write 'The Oracle of Mocasin Bend"
 Mrs. Beddow is the wife of Mir c. P Beddow of the well-known law firm or Bowman, Harsh & Beddow
The Birmingham age-herald., 1903-10-10

M Dow of Birmingham iii si is the au- thor of new book. "rhe Oracle of Moccasin Bend-A Story of Lookout Mountain" It will be brought out in the next few weeks, and those who have seen an advance copy predict that 1t will be great success. Miss Mary E. Rittenberry. who is a personal friend of Mrs. Beddow, contributes the following review of her book to this department of the Age Herald:
 "The Oracle of Moecasin Bend,' opens with a vivid description of "The Battle Above the Clouds" or Joe Rockers at tack on Bragg at Lookout Mountain dur ing the civil war. the narrator being Uncle Steve, The Oracle of Moccasin Bend"
 The plot is simple, the movement rapid and the characters well drawn. Arthur Rutledge Is a northern newspaper rfian spending his vacation among the noun tains of East Tennessee. jest projicatln' around" as Uncle Steve says.
 One morning while talking to the oracle" Azalea Stevenson. the grand daughter of Uncle Steve's old Marse Aaron. asks Steve to come up the mountain and fix the doors of the school house that she may debar an over-ambitious goat from devouring all the knowledge in the house. As "Zale" is a vision to delight the eye Arthur promptly falls in love with her, and when she departs, Uncle Steve finds a willing listener as he tells the history of "Zale'' whom he thinks it is his duty to look after.
 pr. Clemins, "Zale's" foster brother. is man of much energy and intellect, but little of this worlds good. and Is very much in love with Catherine McLeland, whose father has more money and false pride than common sense. Catherine loves Dr. Clemns, but her father objects to him account of his poverty, and favors verpbank Cummins, a man wit, '1ots" of money, little brains and less moral stamina. He is dazzled by Cath erines beauty and allows himself to be persuaded by Major McLeland to shoot Dr. Clemins' but being a coward his aim is not true and the wound not fatal
 Florence Ward is an orphan who lives on the charity of her relatives in pref erence to work, and as usual in such cases her life is not all sunshine. She is a good friend of Catherine and loves Dr. Clemins. but. knowing that he loves Catherine. she says. "As 1 cannot get the man l love, I'll take the next best thing. the man with money" She resolves to marry Yer plank Cummins and marries him in the end, much to his satisfaction.
 Not sure of himself and thinking Aga lea too young. Arthur Rutledgo goes abroad as the companion of Mrs. Mon- land. woman with more money than friends. While in New York Azalea meets Mrs. Digby. Arthurs sister, who succeeds in making her believe that Arthur was only playing with her.
 But all things work out for the best. Misunderstandings are finally explained and a triple wedding occurs at the Clemlns place Tn the Bend. under the shadow of Lookout mountain. Uncle Steve and his wife Caroline are happy again in seeing ''Zale" happy. The story ends with Uncle
