The December Smart Set.

The feature of the December Smar,
Set is undoubtedly the novelette,,
"Clavering and His Daughter" a story
of Washington life, by a new author,
Foxcroft Davis, whose meteoric en-
trance into the field of fiction is like.
ly to be the sensation of the season
Totally unknown, this writer's first
manuscript was not only accepted on
sight by one of the most conservative
publishing houses in America, but two
new books were contracted for to
form a series of three, all on the
national politics and society center
ing at Washington. Meanwhile The
Smart Set has secured the first work
to be published under the name OF
Foxcroft Davis-a story of remark
able woman and a remarkable man In
the interesting setting of life AT the
nations capital, which no author has
yet known so intimately and vitally
The appearance of this story is an
event.
1t is a supreme test of the rest of
the December number that even such
a novel as "Clavering and His Daugh-
ter" cannot overshadow the merit of
the excellent short stories which
follow it. Particularly does "rhe
End of the Story" by Emma Wolf,
stand out from the mass of midwinter
fiction an unusual story of unique
situation, tragic in its intensity, with
a climax whose strength 10 equaled
only by the subtlety which leaves the
reader with the book in his hands,
living it over again and wondering.
The two words which epitOmize the
whole number are Merit ane Variety.
The poems have the excellence and
range always to be found in The Smart
Set, and In the stories are humor,
pathos, romance, tragedy, comedy.
A hint at the subject-matter of
the stories proves their variety-a
life-myst cry in India, very human
comedy among Western cowboys, a
manifestation of the subliminal self
which decides a naval battle, how
three people face an ethical problem
in their lives, a strange million-dollar
legacy, fanciful satire on realism
and idealism in life-views, bit of the
real life, on women and wine, and
just a love.stOry.

DRIVE OUT PRAIRIE DOGS.
Horned Frogs Will Rid the Premises
Of the Burrowing Pest, Says
Texan.

Henry Perthell, stock farmer, has
discovered that few horned frogs
when placed in a village Of prairie
dogs will quickly depopulate every
hole, says a Texas report.
His crops and grass had suffered
from the ravages of prairie dogs this
season, and all the poisoning methods
he tried failed to kin the little ami
mails.
He observed that village of the
prairie dogs would sometimes be sud-
denly deserted without apparent
cause. This led him to make an in
vestigation. In all the deserted vii
lagos he found horned frogs.
The thought occurred to him that
perhaps they were an enemy of the
prairie dogs. He captured several of
the frogs and took them to a lively
prairie dog village on another part of
his ranch He turned the frogs loose
near the holes.
When he visited this village the next
day he found every prairie uog house
deserted. The little animals had gone
10 dnOlHeT part VI tHt TduCu, WueTo
they were busy at work establishing
another town.
Perthell scattered the horned frogs
about in all of the prairie dog villages
on his ranch and farm, and the prairie
dogs have entirely disappeared from
his land. 1t is supposed that they
have taken up their homes on neigh
boring lands. 1t is not thought that
the horned frogs attack the prairie
dogs. They burrow in the holes and
are in some manner offensive to the
rodents.
Horned frogs have another good
point. They are known to be vora-
cious eaters of the big red ants which
are found in the. southwest.
These ants have painful sting, and
in some localities they are a serious
pest. Their big ground nests ruin
lawns and pastures, and it is a diff
cult matter to get rid of them. One
horned frog turned loose in a red ant
bed will clear it up in day.

message of good cheer and helpful
ness, will be welcomed in every home
The fashion pages are unusually at
tractive, illustrating and describing
the very latest modes in a way to
make their construction during the
busy festive season pleasure instead
of a task, and the literary and picto-
rial f satures are a rare excellence.
A selection of Love Songs from the
Wagner Operas, rendered into English
by Richard de Gallienue and beauti-
fully Illustrated in colors by j. @.
Leyendecker, occupies a prominent
place, and a chapter in the Composers
Series, relating the romance of Wag-
ner and Cosima, is an interesting sup
plement to the lyrics. A very clever
paper entitled "The Court Circles Of
the Republic" describes some unique
phases of Washington social life Is
from an unnamed contributor, who Is
said to write from the inner circles of
society. There are short stories from
the pens of r. Hopkinson Smith, Rob-
ert Grant, Alice Brown, Mary wart
Cutting and Elmore Elliott Peake,
and such interesting writer's as Julia
Marguder, l.. Frank Baum and Grace
Mac Gowan Cooke hold the attention
of the children. Many Christmas
suggestions are given in needlework
and the Cookery pages are redolent
of the Christmas feast. In addition,
there are the regular departments of
the magazine, with many special arti-
cles on topics relating to woman's in
terests within and without the home.

fHE WAR ON CIGARETTES.
Campaign Against Their Sale to Boys
has Been Productive of
Much Good.


ltmay be true enough that boy who is
determined to smoke will smoke, but in
several countries legislation against
juvenile smoking has been at least partly
successful, states the Chicago Chronicle
A very strong campaign has been waged
against the cigarette fiends," as the boys
who smoke are called, and in the major
ity Of the states laws Of prohibitive
character have been passed. Nearly is
years ago three-fourths of the states had
such law, but in every instance the en-
actment is in some measure evaded.
Tobacco manufacturers have, indeed,
gone SO far as to attempt TO prove In
court Of law that legislation Of this kind
ls unconstitutional. An important case
came before the United States court at
st. Paul in 1896, when 1t was ruled that
the Iowa anticigarette law actually was
constitutional, in SO far as It interfered
with the sale of cigarettes in the orig
inal packages in which they were sent
into Iowa, but this decision had but little
effect, because cigarettes cannot come
into the state in the small packages in
which they are sold.
The proof Of the pudding is in the eat
Ing, and the proof of the efficacy Of the
measures designed to prevent boys from
smoking is to be found in the fact that
the sale of cigarettes in the United States
Is. despite the rapid increase of the pop
ulation, steadily decreasing. Ten years
ago $500, 100000 cigarettes we're manu-
fa acfurod In tho cnurca ~ the tualyo
month, but now the annual output is
probably not more than SOC, ,000,0 900. In
comparison with these figures few con-
cerning the British consumption may
be given and notice must be taken of the
fact that the population of the United
States at the last census was 100000
and that Of the United Kingdom 42,000,-
900.
According to an estimate made in 1898
the number of cigarettes smoked in Eng
land was 100000 900 a year. But since
hen there has been an enormous increase
in the consumption and now the sale Is
not far short of ~ ,000. 900 000
That Juvenile smoking has had much
to do with this increase there can be no
doubt, and it has been computed that
boys smoke 2,5QO.0O0,O00 cigarettes a
year.
Canada has followed the example of the
United States in this matter and boy of
under 16 years of age who smokes is
breaking the law of the dominion. Sim
liar prohibition will be put into force in
Australia before long, and in two or
three English colonies the word will go
forth that boys must not smoke.
In Europe Norway has led the way
Any tobacconist in that country who
sells "the weed" in the form of ciga-
rettes, or any other shape, to boy under
l6, is liable to fine unless he can show
that the boy was purchasing on behalf Of
a relative or employer and had signed
order to that effect. Sixteen seems to be
the age at understanding to legsla-
tors-boys may begin to smoke without
fear of dcleterious consequences.
