BARBARA, A WOMAN
 OF THE WEST.
By John H. whitson.

No more interesting ground for novel work has ever been found than that deal ing with Western ranch life.
 The points of Cripple Creek and San Diego are familiar to all, and 1t Is here that the scenes of this novel are laid. At times the movement of the story is in tensely strenuous. but 1t later dies out almost entirely.
 And yet there is much merit In the work one or two of the characters cam not be surpassed in present day fiction. It Is a truly American novel describing Americans and their habits and peculi- arities.
 Some of the passages of the book flash with unusual brilliancy and one Is sur prised at the new" things brought to light in the story. Oittle, Brown X Co.,, Boston.)

WITH THE TREES.
By Maud Going.

What more interesting or fascinating story than that pertaining to trees and flowers and shrubbery?
 Miss Going's fascinating, untechnical studies of flowers have had wide sale In this book she writes of the trees, with the same charm of style which has marked her previous books The books are excellent from a botanical standpoint and the best of reading besides
 The botanical names of the flowers are given, but the groups and families are not classified under unpronouncable terms. In word, the book consists oi tree biographies. with many charming litle woodland incidents thrown in. Like

"A rather peculiar fact about driving an ostrich is that he does not pull the same way as his bridle. In other words, if the right-hand rein Is pulled the bird invariably goes to the left. The bird
 fights the rein to such an extent that the slightest pull on one rein will cause him to go to the other side. and the greatest care has to be exercised in car rying out this rule. In our usual exhi- bitions the bird is, of course just logged along up the track, and there is not so very much danger in this form of driving.
 When 1t comes to driving an ostrich to make a record, however, it is a far different matter In order to spur the bird on to its best efforts it is necessary to have him run against a fast racing horse. A good half-mie stretch of turf must be provided with the regulation pole. It is the habit of the ostrich in making this race to hug as tightly 10 the pole as possible, and the driver must necessarily have a steady hand and cool nerve to avoid spills
 Tn one of my races against time last summer I was unable to keep Oliver w. II. under full control. We skinned around the track at record breaking speed with the wheel of the suIky just barely shaving the fence on the inner side, and the horse galloping along on our flank. Finally I knew that the spill must come. and it was a very bad upset indeed. I could not keep the bird off the fence. The wheel of the buggy caught in the railing, and the next I knew I was lying on the track with the wreck of the buggy about me and Mir Ostrich running like mad far up the track It was a severe experience. but since then I have managed to keep Oliver w. IL in better control. and we have had no more accidents. In ordinary driving there is no way to urge the ostrich to increase his speed except by the voice. A whip of course would not have much effect on the big mass of feathers on the birds back"

TRAINING THE OSTRICH.
Florida Man Describes His Methods
 of Making Racers of Them.

Jacksonville (Fla)) Times-Union.
 Few people who watch the remarkable performances on the track at the Flor ida ostrich farm of Oliver w. IL, when the. first exhibition will be given, will re- alize that an extraordinary amount of care and patience was required in train ing the bird to go through the exercise, The old Oliver w. was well known to Jacksonville people. and they became so accustomed to seeing an ostrich in har- ness perform the same duties as a horse, both on the streets and at the farm. that they overlooked the real oddlty that it represented.
 The second Oliver W. had to be train ed to harness to take the place of the other bird, which died suddenly last summer at Williamsport, N. r.. where 1t was being exhibited, Mr. Cornell. tie

FIRE At ZINC WORKS
Two Buildings Burned and Other
Property Damaged.

At about nine O'Clock O'Clock fire
broke out ia the line shafting of the
crusher building at the zine works.
An alarm was sounded and and the
fire company were at the scene as
soon as possible. Streams of water
were thrown upon the fire by the
pumps at the works and from the city
water works; but the fire was spread
ing rapidly, and the building over
the calcining kilns was soon eveloped
in flames and, together with the
crusher house was destroyed, and
other property was either totally de-
stroyed or badly damaged. The fire
fire company did good work and
aided greatly in preventing the
spread of the fire. The wind was
blowing from a favorable direction,
otherwise the damage would have
been much greater than it was The
total loss will amount to several
of dollars.

the Came

the Game.
Irvan Robinson, with the help Of
other young men and women of the
Batavia school district, scored a
great success with the basket ball
held at Batavia school house last
Friday evening. The entertainment
was given for the purpose of raising
money for school library and fix
lures, the trustees not taking much
stock in the enterprise attempted o
ridicule it by Offering to duplicate
any sum raised for the purpose by
the young people. Batavia's youth
and beauty got out and made a
hearty rustic, then, and the net II
ceipts of the evening were $3.50.
Forty numbers were sold for the
dance and the baskets, and their pos
SCISSORS company for the nonce
brought big money. One basket
brought as much as 81. After pur-
chasing the library fixtures they had
$4,000 to put into the special fund.
and they are looking to the trustees
to dig up the roll they promised.
