Those intimate accounts OF the little de-
tails Of travel that please ones fancy may
not rank high literature, but they
stir the saner emotions and contribute
to repose of spirit. Next to a vacation

Swift. records both IN story and pleasant
illustrations the circumstances of a mid

FLORIDA. The book does not describe the
hotel life and the conventional bohemjanism
OF the beach. but tells of hunting and fish

After the first edition of Mr. William
Henry Smiths History or the State Of
Indiana" was issued, several years ago, he
found it to contain some errors and some
superfluous matter. 1t was also found that
there were certain omissions of more or
less Importance. This is the common ex-
perience of writer's and compilers of his
tory, the difficulty of verifying commonly
accepted, though not necessarily correct,
statements and OF securing absolute accura-
cy being realized only after much tribula-
ton. Like all others of like experience,
Mr.. Smith desired to have his work freed
from blemish, and to this end has prepared
with much care new and revised edition
OF the work. 1t is far more than a COR
rected version of the first edition, however,
for he has added much new material. Many
omissions have been made. as, for instance,
the chapter on topography, which was not
essential, but over three hundred pages of
new matter have been added. The arrange
ment of the history makes it especially con-
venient for reference. for while the narra-
tive is continuous, it is given in topical
form. The work covers the entire period
from the earliest explorations by the
French until the present time The second
volume is devoted entirely to the civil war
and the part taken therein by Indiana and
Indiana troops. To quote from Mr.. ]. p.
Dunn's prefance to the work: Mr.. Smith,
in this revised edition of his history of In
diana. has performed valuable service in
gathering the available materials together
in concrete form. so that a view of the
development of the State can be had 10y
the general reader without extensive re-
search through scattered documents He
has long been a practical student OF the
current history of Indiana. acquainted with
its public men and identified with its po-
liticai and official life as well as a student
of its earlier history. His work will be
found useful by all who have occasion to
investigate any period of the history of the
State and will furnish the most complete
general view of 1t that is now accessible"
AS Mr.. Dunn is himself the author of a
very carefully prepared history of an early
period of Indiana life, this Endorsement of
Mr.. Smiths work comes with the weight
of authority. An enlarged and corrected
index is valuable feature of the new edi-
ton.

Birds in Their Relations to Man.


Birds have been much written about from
various points of view--scentific, poetic
aesthetic, technic, descriptive. etc, but
this work treats them from the viewpoint
of their relations TO man according to the
harm they do or the services they render.
1t has nothing TO do. except incidentally,
with the plumage, the songs, the nests or
the game qualities of birds, nor with any
of their characteristics except those bear
ing on their diet and their services in the
destruction OF insects and small vermiE.
1t deals exclusively with the economic side
OF ornithology, and careful perusal of its
pages cannot fail to convince any person
that birds are great friends and useful
servitors OF man in their destruction of
insects and other pests that prey upon the
products of his industry True, they are
not inspired by any sIch praiseworthy mo-
tive as rendering service to man; they are
simply after food, but in obtaining it they
confer enormous benefits on the farmer
the gardener. the horticultural and man
kind generally. The scope of the work
may be inferred from some of the chapter
headings, as the vegetable food OF birds,
the animal food OF birds, the amount of
food consumed by birds, the relations of
birds to predaceous insects, the conserya-
ton of birds, preventing the depredations
OF birds, encouraging the presence of BIRDS
ETC. In addition to these general topics the

authors of the work are Prof. c. Nj. Weed

ture, and~P Prof. n. Dearborn, OF the Field

Harriet Earhart Monroe has written a
very complete and entertaining book about
our Nations capital. Before visiting Wash
ington one could do nothing better, both
to save time and expense, If these were to
be considered, and to enhance the under
standing and enjoyment of the visit, than
to read this book. The history and meaning
Of monuments and local and government in
situations, and the connection of all with
local and national spirit, are told in a man.
ner that is thoroughly pleasing. The book
suggests certain desirable improvements
as well, and the following extract concern
ing the last days of L'Enfant is worth
quoting:
IL Enfant the architect of the city of
Washington, was paid $500 for his serv-
ices and dismissed. He believed he should
have been pensioned, as would have been
done in Europe. Afterward he saw the city
expand as the Nation grew strong, while
he, disappointed, poverty-stricken man,
wandered, a pathetic figure, about the Cap
itol until 1925, when he died. He had lived
fer years on the Diggs farm, about eight
miles from Washington, and was buried in
the family cemetery in the Digs garden,
moved his dust was left there alone-to
sleep in an unmarked grave. Mr.. Corcoran,
the great banker of Washington, who died
in 1893, said he remembered l. Enfant as
"a rather seedy, stylish old man, with
long green coat buttoned up to his throat
a bell-crowned hat, q little moody and lone
ly, like one wronged' The heart of a
city of Washington is his monument. No
one can now rob him of that honor Could
the Colonial Danes or the Daughters OF
the Revolution do more benefcent and
popular act than TO mark the resting place
of Peter Charles l. Enfant, who drew the
original plans of that city, which will event
ually become the most beautiful in all the
word?"

This statement SOUNDS we'll, but then MI.
Peer would have to talk that way even if
he didn't believe all that he said, for he has
been a candidate and will probably be a
candidate again next year. One term in the
Legislature will hardly satisfy him, and,
while he said yesterday that he had not de-
cided whether he would stand for renomina-
ton, it's an odds-on bet that he will.
Shelby county Democrats, as a matter of
fact are in fair way TO a worse split than
those of any other section of the State for
in addition to the differences between the
Bryanites and the old-line Democrats, there
are local conditions that further complicate
the situation. A few years ago the Demo-
Gratis in that county were all in the same
wagon, and George Ray. editor of the
Democrat, cracked the whip and did the
driving. Then there was revolt against
Ray domination, and the Jeffersonian was
established TO night the Democrat. Rotten
ness in the administration of county affairs
was unearthed, and as result Ray was
forced to take an involuntary vacation at
the well-known health resort at Michigan
City. The fight between the Democrat and
the Jeffersonian went merrfly on, but the
latter won out, ii seems Then Ray came
back and tried to purchase the Democrat.
Failing in that, he declared his intention of
starting a new paper 10 be known as the
Shelbyville Liberal. and IL is understood
that he has everything in readiness for the
cult 10 see hown there can be anything but
a three-cornered fight in Shelby county De-
mocracy, and such a fight would undoubted-
~ tend to result just as Mr.. Wingate pre-
diets, in a victory for the Republicans.
In marked contrast with the situation in
Shelby is that in Hamilton county. Last
week the Noblesville Democrat was sold.

for a dining room or for the meeting

is also kitchen and locker and toilet

there has been a general rush on the

that there is a meeting of some sort
