TRAMPS RECEIVE
 TIMELY NOTICE.

The buns and hoboes around Hoxie got so bad that two nights ago a couple of Iron Mountain detectives appeared on the scene, and with the aid of the citizens of the town cleared the roost. / The situation had grown So bad that it brought from the vigilance committee the following circular: Notice to Hoboes, Tramps,
 Thieves, Thugs and Weary
 Willies.
 Don't let the sun set on you in Hoxie, Ark.
 If you do, what the vigilance committee will do for you will be a plenty. Some of you'll think your time has come. Don't let night catch you here; if you do you will find a rough house be- fore morning. Build no camp fires. Keep out of the waiting rooms. Stay off the railroad platforms.
 Stay away from Hoxie, and tell your fellow-travelers to do likewise. Heed this advice, else the committee will attend to you with neatness and dispatch.

STEPPED ON MATCH.
Mrs. Emerson R. Crum Sue cumbs to Burns Received on
 Thanksgiving Day,

Helena, Dec. 3. Mrs. Emerson R. Crum last night succumbed to injuries received on Thanks giving day when she was severe ly burned, and the remains were inferred this afternoon in Maple Hill cemetery, after funeral ser vices at the home on Pecan street, conducted by Rev. Dr. C.. H. Lockwood, rector of St. Johns church.
 In attempting to light a gsa jet in the front hall of her home on Thanksgiving evening Mrs. Crum dropped a lighted match to the floor, stepped back over it and was immediately enveloped in flames, the entire lower por- tion of her body being horribly burned before her husband, who was just entering the house, could extinguish the burning clothing.
 She was the only daughter of Henry P. Grant, was 26 years of age and was married to Mr.. Crum six years ago. One son, Grant, 3 years old, blessed the union.
 The fatal ending of Mrs. Crum's injuries has caused a deep and genuine sorrow in this city.

FRISCO WILL BUILD.

New York, Dec. 9. The agree ment over conditions under which the St. Louis & San Francisco railroad was to have obtained trackage rights over the Iron Mountain into New Orleans is re- ported to have resulted in the re- vival of plans by the former com pany for building an independent line.
 Options on the right of way are said to have been already renewed. Negotiations looking to the use of the Iron Mountain between Memphis and Baton Rouge, La, have been under way about year. It is under stood, however, that the Frisco officials did not agree to abstain from seeking local traffic between points mentioned, and it was upon this point the negotiations split. The Frisco has already in- vested a large sum in terminal properties at New Orleans.

JAIL BREAKER FOILED.
Ed Guen Crawling to Freedom When the Sheriff Arrived
 On the Scene.

Pocahontas, Ark, Dec. 3. Ed Guen of Jonesboro, H.. was ar rested here Saturday evening by Marshal Caruthers on a telegram from the Illinois town stating that he was wanted there on a charge of highway robbery. Guen was placed in jail and in a steel cell, as he was known to have broken jail three or four times before. The sheriff of the Illi- -nois county arrived here Sunday after the prisoner, Some time Sunday night outside parties clined to the roof of the jail, cut a hole through to the steel cage, and handed a chisel, saw and other tools to Guen, who broke the lock and. sawed through the hall floor. He was under the floor trying to push out one of the heavy foundation stones, when a saloon man, who was sleeping in his room nearby, heard the pounding and tele- phoned Sheriff Russell. The officer arrived on the scene just as Guen was crawling through hole in the foundation and re- captured his man. The Illinois sheriff left on Mondays train with his prisoner, who will stand trial at Jonesboro. Guen had a wife and three little children and had been working in mill here for two months.

Anne volney's mother is dead. and she and her father lead life somewhat stifiing to Anne The young girl. vege- tating in that sodden environment. has that strange force which is called genius She is "born actress" without any notion of this fact. The quiet, ingenious way in which Mrs. Thurston leads to the development of this gift Is admirable.
 Can new things be done. in art or life. in this old stage of the world? Whether or not they may, the fresh charm and seeming novelty of the few novels which stir are generally only the old things in a new way, non nova sed nove. The skeleton of the story and the types em- ployed are not new and are not even melodramatic. It is the breezy warm. artistic handling of her elements which makes Mrs. Thurston loom as new and powerful factor in the literary world
 Perhaps it is the Kettle strain in her. the impassioned. primitive. eager activity of her Irish blood-corpuscles. which give her the innate power to dream right" Art there Is in her painting of the can- vas. for there is no touch of crudity. no faltering in her method" She Is

The only uninteresting thang about this new novel is its name. It suggests a little and that little Is banal. But the story supplies le mot de renigme. It starts out briskly and does not flag for a moment during the three parts into which it is divided. The author. Mrs. Thurston. is an Irish woman. born in Cork. and her maiden name was Madden. This is her first serious work in fiction. although she has had stories printed in the London magazines. her first appear ance in print being in 1891.
 But if Mrs. Thurston Is a newcomer, she is an artist from the start. In this story, beside the unfauitering craftman- ship with which she works. out her theme. her way of putting a scene before you or painting a character is remarka- bly lucid, convincing and engaging. There are only seven or eight charac- ters in the book. but there is not a one of them that is not sharply drawn, and of individual force.
 There is a slight melodramatic quality in some of the pages, but Mrs. Thurston never loses dignity. and the way she puts a thing. not startling or novel in itself. impresses the reader with all the charm of something new and fresh.

A DETACHED PIRATE.
BY HELEN MILICETE.

Peculiar in its strength. full of pathos as well as power-many surprises await the reader of this novel. The thrilling events of a misunderstanding, divorce and a reconciliation furnish the theme for a bright. witty. clever. society story. The events occur in London. Tn Halifax and It's garrison. and in New York; and the story is told by Gay Vandeleur, very charming heroine.
 Seldom is 1t that stories with a for eign flavor can conscientiously be recommended as offering a literary treat worthy "the purchase price, But this one is a marked exception to the rule.
 The pictures of London society life which pass in kaleidoscopic view before the reader. prove intensely interesting; at he same time teaching. valuable les sons by comparison.

This book gives in her own words. in letters from her teacher and in general statements frofn the editor the details in the achieving of these results.
 Her own story is intensely told; the Eng fish style Is vivid approaching sometimes the picturesque: the spirit in which 1t is told is sparkling. hopeful, courageous. aspiring.

Helen Keller was born in Alabama, June 27. 1880. When not yet years old she was attacked by an illness that left her without sight and hearing and able to make herself understood by the rudest and simplest signs. When nearly ' years of age a teacher for her was ob- tained from Boston, Miss Annie Sullivan. Three months and a half later she be- gan to write and in other ways to come into larger communion with the outside world. She began to read books printed in raised letters for the blind and to be read to her teacher, who spell ed the words into her hands. In 1890 she began to learn to speak by feeling of the tongue and lips of her teacher while a sound was being uttered, and

realistic. but not bonily so: ideaiistic, but not chemically SO; earnest, but not self conscious or aggressive.
 In the last analysis, 1t is her touch, her personal grasp and sympathy. that in- vest her work with it's chief attraction. The young man who is the lover, for in- stance. Is really only more or less conventional Englishman. with nothing pronounced about him in anyway; good looking. not particularly clever, not rich. not distinguished socially: and yet despite his bunch of negatives, what a live, true. wholesome man he is. and what a stunning lover! It is the same with her other characters. There Is the old Russian Jew, soul-sore from persecu- ton, and a ruminative scholar: world ly woman. clever and masterfui: poor, wretched man. cowardly. deformed, a mere straw in humanity's jetsam and fioatsam; and the throbbing Hebrew daughter of the antiauary, who suggests lack of balance and neurotic extravaga- ton. Behold the dramatis personae. not too promising to one who has seen these
 types so through their exercises by battalions on the literary 'campus." But Mrs. Thurston gives each an ''otherness'' which redeefns and individualizes the type.-(Dodd, Mead 6 Co.,. New York. $1.50.) Theo Young.

ONE OF scoTr's LETTERS.
Distinct Denial of the Charge of
 Writing the "waverley Novels" IaI.......Lfi.t.nA

Distinct Denial of the Charge of
 Writing the "Waverley Novels"
 Unpublished Letters by Sir Walter
 Scott" in the July Century.
 Certainly the most interesting point in the following letter is Sir Walters dis tinct disavowal-denial even is not too strong a word for it-of the charge or suggestion that he had written the "Waverley Novels" Whenever put to the question. he unblushingly denied that he had anything whatever to do with the novels. There are many who express surprise that he should act as he did The ethics of the case are between a man and his own conscience. More than one man has said to me: Well. sup pose that if I wanted to keep q secret should do as Sir Walter Scott did: but should not have suspected him. hay ing the tranSparently simple and per fectly varacious character that he had, to do it." He probably said to himself: "It is absurd If a man may not keep his own secret. The only way I can keep this secret is to deny that I wrote the novels. Therefore I am going to deny it."
 This is a position that aNsSher great
