Here is what the New Era Maya
zine says of it: The Mississ ippi
Bubble by Emerson Hough, recalls
from an exciting period Of French
History the Young Scotchman, John
Law, the most auducious yet force
full personality of the earlier half of
the eighteenth century. Really
genius in finance, and possessed of
the principle of banking which has
ever made bank notes and stocks
Trustworthy, he Dis handed down by
tradition as swindler who wreck
ed the French treasury and thous-
ands of private fortunes. Mr..
Hough does him justice by telling
the. true story of the great enter
prise which gave the novel it's title,
but Laws personal career was so
adventurous and so full of romantic
and startling incidents that the
story is not merely paraphase of
history; it is an exciting and well
sustained novel. Two bewitching
women, both of them English, were
the greatest influences of Laws
life, and one. or the other of them
appear in every chapter of the story
one as siren, the other a noble
creature who possesses every
charm of womanhood. !. :.

Even Thieves Prize the Good Book.

Bibles are said by detectives to be
more rarely stolen than any other Oh.
ject. The Chicago Tribune says that
this is not because Bibles are worthless
to a thief, but because few criminals
are sufficiently depraved to steal the
good book. A detective said recently
that in an important case which he
had followed up some years ago thief
had entered the house, stolen some
valuable jewels, and left untouched q

studded with pearls. The detective

TO MY CIGAR.
BY LCE VERNON.

Watch the smoke from my cigar,
And think how little riches are;
How small is rank, how empty fame,
How little worth is Fortunes game;
For better far than all of these
Is rich contentment that doth please
The heart OF man, az weary care
He helps his stricken brother share.
More precious than the richest pearl,
Are tender thoughts that come, when
curl
The smoke wreaths in the ether far,
Like incense from my mild cigar,
Soft rings OF perfume float on high,
And thoughts of trouble pass me by.
At ease with man-all strife at rest
i feel, within my quiet breast
Forgiveness for all who may
Have wronged me-and / ask
Pardon for all the wrongs I've wrought
And for the pain | may have brought !;
! dream a sweet philosophy,
Which no grim burdens ever mar,
AS | watch the smoke from my cigar
! have not been false Fortunes slave,
And have not managed wealth to save,
But Fate been kind on Natures sod,
For quietly my feet have trod
The paths of peace, long after years
That have had their share of grief and
tears.
Up with the smoke all cares now 60,
And naught but happiness l know,
The joys of happy home are mine,
And for them fortune resign,
Loves bright light shines like a star,
Amid the smoke from my cigar.

TWO BROTHERS.
I've got a little brother

I've got little brother
He came the other day;
He kept his hands a-waving
In an awful funny way.
He's got a snap l tell YOU
JUS eats and winks and blinks,
And looks up at the ceiling
wonder what he thinks!
It makes me kind O. Jealous
Iasked ma why he came;
She only laughed and tol me,
The angels were to blame.
l can't see why the angels
Can't mind their own affairs,
And keep their eyes before them
Upon the golden stairs.
I've got another brother
He came here just to-day;
He married sister Myrtle,
And now he's going to stay.
He's got a snap, ! tell you.
Jes' eats and sits around,
And sister keeps on teaching;
Ma calls him lazy hound.
1t makes me kinder Jealous
asked pa why he came;
He only swore and tol' me
That sister was to blame.
If sister and the angels
Keep on a-getting gay
And bringing home new brothers,
I'm going to run away!
