The BRIDGE

The work Of securing the subscriP-
lions ard complying with the terms
Of the Haerle bridge proposition is
now under way. No opportunity so
inviting ever came 70 Lexington
before. The sum asked for is a trife
10 comparison with the benefits
which are certain to accrue. What
the people are asked to give is really
nothing. A small fraction OF the in
creased value Of property will pay
the bonus. A small fraction OF the
increased retail trade will pay the
interest on the subscriptions. No
part Of the bonus is payable until
after the whole work is contracted
for and surety bonds for its COM
pletion deposited. The first quarter
OF the subscriptions is payable only
after the work is one-fOurth complete
and after the finishing Of the work is
assured by surety obligations salts
factory to the citizens committee.
The work must be half fms he'd be-
fore the other quarter is due. The
last installment is payable only after
the work has been completed.
The bridge and trolley line will
double the trade area Of lexington;
will make Lexington the most access
sible and desirable residence place in
Missouri for travelling men and those
whose business calls them much from
home; will set free the independent
coal operators; will give new life tn
our private school interests; will
bring into close business and social
relations with the county seat a large
part of the county along the C. & A.
railroad now hopelessly removed and
estranged from us; will make Lexing-
ton a center of small manufactures;
will make the adjacent country d fine
stock region; will increase property
values, open up business opportuni-
ties, promote public and private
Improvements,
The prospect opened up to Licking
ton by this projected enterprise is
one of glowing promise, and the
proposition is so guarded that the
people could lose nothing in any
event. The success of the enterprise
will depend largely upon the energy,
patience, self sacrifice and persistence
Of the committee. These gentlemen
will deserve and will receive full
credit for the efforts they expend in
this cause Resolute effort and pa.
thence will win. The committee was
carefully selected, and it is believed
that these gentlemen have entered
upon their work with a realization Of
what IS dependent upon them.

While Parker has a distinct lead

is by no means assured. Since Hearst
has appeared to drop out Of the race

When Margaret Deland began to write
her genius turned to poetry, but she sorib-
bled her rhymes on the back OF marketing
memoranda and account books, a curious
minglng OF the ideal and the practical
which has characterized her work ever
since. Her latest work. sThe Common
Way" reveals this tendency, and as for old
DR.. Lavender, who is going into new edi-
ton for the holidays, there never was a
more practical idealist, even in fiction.
A bright little tale Of bachelor days called
Ear From the Maddening Girls was
finished by Guy Wetn ore Carryl not long
before his sad death, and will be brought
out next month. In it the author takes
a young gentleman who has decided that
bachelorhood il his 70 cation, and allows
him to build a house, far off in the woods,
which he calls Single Blessedness, wherein
to sit alone and worship his ideal. But
the willy author Is also careful to establish

young, somewhat beautiful and very clever
otherwise there would never have been
a story. OF course she Is bound TO meet
the young ran as he takes his lonely
walks abroad, and the inevitable happens.

who thinks that bachelorhood is good
enough for him until the right girl gsts

This is a great, big. stirring
Story-a story to make one sit
up, a story that brands itself
upon the mind, a story unfor-
getable. Just out-two countries
are already struggling, each to
make it into a play before the
other, and France and Germany
are translating this two-week old
success.
When i: was running serially
people kept writing to the editor
begging for advanced proofs, one
man pleading that he had heart
disease and fearing he might die
before it came to a close. A
reader of Blackwood's for sixty
years likens his interest to how
he "waited feverishly for Monte
Cristo to appear"
The New York ,EVening Mail
says Of the novel:
"This is the story of strong man
and strong woman and their high
handed grasping for happiness in the
face of the moral law. The woman,
magnificent in her love, rises above
considerations OF conventions, above
fear, above conscience. Circumstances
give her the right to follow the die
tates of an overwhelming passion.
It will take rank with the few
really good books"
Mark Twain
This new little story-"A Dogs
Tale"-has ia it tears as we'll as
laughter. The story begins my
father was St. Bernard, my mother
was a Collie, but I am a Presbyter-
ian." 1t is perfect story.
The Memoirs of q Baby
Josephine Daskam has proved that
there is plenty of fun in children
even babies. No book of the year
has caused more merriment. And
with F. Y. Cory's very funny pictures.
it is a book never to be forgotten.-
a book to be re-read.
The Light of the Star
Hamlin Garland, author of "Hes-
per-" here takes the reader behind
the scenes in big New York theatre
and weaves romance that rivals in
interest and intensity that of the stage
itself. The story is new one and
the setting most unique.
Over the Hill
VIII Cartoons famous poem,
"Over the Hill to the Poorhouse," Is
a classic. which has always appealed
to people. and always will. This
new edition includes the companion
poem, "Over the Hill from the Poor
house." with preface by the author
all in sumptuous holiday binding.
The Georgians
If you didn't make the acquaint-
ance of "Abner Daniel" in Mr.. VIII

had better read the "Georgians,"
in which he reappears. Then you
will read the first story, too.
