THE TRAIL OF LEWIS AND CLARK

Kooskooske, or Clearwater river, In
Idaho, which has always been an un-
solved problem full OF uncertainties
and gaps, has been carefully followed
and completely solved and mapped.
'The Trail OF Lewis and Clark" is
illustrated In color and half tone from
paintings, drawings and maps made
under Mr.. Wheeler's direction, and
from photographs taken by professional
photographers who accompanied him
for the purpose. The work is not made
up of quotations from the Lewis and
Clark report with annotated comments,
but the writer tells his own story and
supplements il with brief and pertln-
ent extracts from Lewis and Clark and
a host OF other historical and narrative
writers that connect the past with the
present.
The original manuscript journals of
Lewis and Clark we've studied by the
anthor. Extracts and Photographic
reproductions, in half tone, Of their
pages and drawings are given. A
chapter lie devoted to the Louisiana
Purchase. another to the preparatory
measures for the exploration, and yet
another to the history of each man Of
the expedition so far az known, includ-
ing detailed discussion Of the causes
and circumstances OF the death Of Cap
tain Lewis.
There is gathered within the covers
Of these volumes, and made available
a vast amount Of history, narrative and
incident OF the last century that is ol
great value, is almost unknown TO the
present generation and. practically, ID
inaccessible to them.
"The Trail Of Lewis and Clark" ID
written by the only person who, from
actual travel over, and investigation OF,
the Lewis and Clark route, can write
from the standpoint Of actual knowledge
Of past and present condition OF the old
trail and country.
The book should be found in every
public and private library in the land,
not only for the purposes Of reference
for students, but for use Of the general
reader, who will find in reading through
its pages Of large, clear type that truth
! is, indeed, stranger than fiction.

with all her hardness, was at her best,

Reuben came courting In the evening,
once or twice week at 6rst, when the
newspapers would allow him; and there
were odd half holidays when Reuben
and Sarah would stroll In st. James
Park, and talk Of the happiness ahead.
They both spoke Of the patience to wait

1t came without any warning. We
were on our way to Cooks, which is
on the side where the crack first ap.

hotel we noticed small crowd of peo-
pie watching the tower, and some OF
the piazza officials had placed a few
boards round It to keep people from
going up to 1t. But the crack was SO
slight that we asked where II was.
We walked to the other side, under
the clock tower. and as we stood there
bricks began to fall out Of the crack
which grew wider every minute.
Some people thought that corner
Of the tower might go. but really ther,

Cooks men smiled at the Americans

woman-preacher had gone to her apart

folks who thought Of little save each 9TH

her. II was one month after the death
Of Mrs. Eastbell.

"Who has been sayingi" asked Lucy,
without looking In her direction.

"He says | may ask your opinion II
