A charming book just issued by Little, Brown and Company, Boston, is '"The Wood- Carver of 'Lynnpus,' by Miss M. E. Waller, author of "A Daughter of the Rich,'' "The Little Citizen,' etc, The hero of Miss Walters new story is certainly one of the strongest and most original characters portrayed in recent fiction. Hugh Armstrong, used to busy out of door life meets with an ac- cident in felling a tree and thereby is crippled for life. No details of the ac- cident are given. The reader meets Hugh first a year and half after the calamity has nailed him to his cot a helpless wreck, but seemingly as full of virlle life as ever. He at first finds it impossible to adjust himself to his lot in life, but friend suggests wood carv- ing to him. Through work and love a great change comes over him and the author has portrayed to us powerfully Armstrongs rescue from the pain. The scenes are laid in a background of the granite mountain tops of Vermont. Of this charming book the Brooklyn Eagle says:
 Tt is not book of startling adven- ture; there are no wonderful achieve ments recorded, no deep analyses of human passions, but a. strong tale of human loves and homes. ".... Tt is a well-planned story, the central concep-

Henry Holt and Company are pup fishing two books this month, the illus trations of which are worth comment. The employment of pigment inks in orange and gray, independent and su- perimposed upon black backgrounds of varying density, has resulted in most pleasing effect, particularly where con trast between light and darkness has been desired in the same picture. Eliot Keen, who has made three views for Treadwen Cleveland Jr.s, forthcoming romance, "A Night with Alessandro, has been particularly successful with his work. His pictures give the illu- sion, at first, of hand-colored photo gravures. His decorative designs for Tn the Dwellings of the Wilderness" Bryson Taylor's book. are naturally more conventional than the others, and the values are more restrained. All the same, they serve their purpose ad- mirably as pictures for book garnish- ing.

SUPPLY BILLS
HEAD CALENDAR
Army and Navy ApprOpria-
tiOn Measures Are Given
Right of Way in Senate

WASHINGTON, Feb. 2S.-It is ex-
pected that both the naval and army
appropriation bills will be reported to
the Senate during the present week
and it is intended to take them up for
consideration as soon as possible re-
gardless of all other legislation, and
henceforth to give the supply bills
right of way to the exclusion of all
other matters. The army appropria-
ton bill has been under consideration
by a subcommittee of the military
committee for some time and will be
taken UP early in the week. The pros
pect, however, is that the naval bill
WilF be the first to secure consideration
by the Senate. Both measures viii
meet opposition and probably will be
debated at length. Tuesday Will be
devoted to the bill regulating the ship
ment of government supplies
II is not expected that the confirm
alton of General Wood will be consid-
cred during the week, owing to the
absence OF Senators Foraker and
Blackburn, of the Committee on Mill
tary Affairs, both of whom are inter
ested in the case. 1t is the general
expectation that the case will receive
attention next week.
At the request of Nj. Beveridge.
next Thursday has been set aside for
consideration of legislation in the in
terest of Alaska. There are several
bills pertaining to that point on the
calendar. Beveridge, however, will
not press these bills if there are appro-
priation bills ready.
The Committee on Elections will
begin its investigation into the Smoot
case on Tuesday and it is also expect
ed that the special committee ap-
pointed to inquire into the charges
against Senator Dietrich viii proceed
with its work during the week
The first week in March finds the
House with a very small proportion of
the big supply measures awaiting it's
action. The naval was the eighth of
the general appropriation bills that
have been disposed of at this session.
The remaining supply bills will be
given precedence over other measures.
as it is the desire of the leaders to
clear up all the regular business of the
House as early as possible. The Dis
trict of Columbia appropriation bill
will be taken up next and then will
follow the Indian appropriation bill.

HORSE SAVES
WOMAN LIFE
Plucky Mustang Attacks a
Pack of Hungry Wolves
and ReScueS His Mistress
Special Dispatch to The can.

SALT LAKE. Utah. Feb. 2S.-While
lost in a snowstorm near Stanley,
Idaho, Mrs. A. NJ. Robbins was at
tackled by hunger ger-maddened gray
wolves who would have devoured her
alive had it not been for the courage
and intelligence of her horse.
Mrs. Robbins started from her
ranch to go TO her mothers home,
twenty-five miles distant. She rode a
fiery little mustang and made good
time until a heavy SnOwStOrm came
up and obliterated the road. She be-
came lost and wandered aimlessly
for several hours.
Night came on and she found her
self far from any human habitatiOn.
She finally allowed the horse to carry
her without guidance, trusting to his
instinct to reach some house.
Soon the bowling of wolves in the
rear alarmed her. She hurried the
pony on, but the wolves gained, and
mad by hunger, they began TO attack
the horse and rider. The woman dis
charged a small revolver she carried
without effect. A sudden jump by the
pony threw the woman from her sad
die.
The wolves Immediately rushed at
her and would have torn her to pieces
had it not been for the pony, which,
instead of running away, turned to at
tack the enemy.
The horse brought both fore feet
down squarely on one of the wolves,
and, then turning. used his heels. One
wolf was sent a distance of ten yards,
with its skull crushed. The others
quickly fell upon the dead animal
and began tearing the flesh from its
bones.
Mrs. Robbins then remounted and
galloped away. Two hours later she
reached a ranchhouse in safety. The
Woman's nerves were somewhat upset
by the adventure, but otherwise she
was uninjured.
