There is a good story about Eugene
Field. II seems that when he lived in
Chicago a maiden aunt came to visit
him for few weeks. She was pecu
liar in many ways, had pronounced
fdeas on every subject, and a short.
lived generosity. She gave things
away on impulse; then took them back.
or, as it appears in this particular
case, stole them back. She painted
some portraits OF Mr.. Fields children
which during friendly mood she gave

The family before she left she took the
portraits with her on the sly. Mr.. Field

"These pictures, like so many more,
That fade from Memory's Hall,

From off our parlor wall.

There Is nothing cut and dried
about this history" writes the literary
editor OF the Baltimore Sun in a re-
view of Mr.. Henry W. Elson's History
of the United States" "The author
is at once familiar and dignlfed. He
never loses sight of the fact that he is
not speaking to students, but to the
general reader, and yet in every page
we see that he is writing fact, not fic'
tion. Interesting as this narrative is,
the quality of reliability must be ac-
corded the highest place among the
points of merit that make for its sue
cess. We have had occasion to com.
pare several hundred of the works
statements with those of indisputable
authorities, and we find that our au.
thor is, without exception, accurate in
statements where certainty can be as.
serted, and where historical doubt is
existent then We find that Mr.. ElsOn
has indicated the uncertainty of fact.
The arrangement of the history Is
first rate. Our authors sense of pro-
portion is strong and his perception of
values satisfactory. In short, we may
say that we know of no single-volume
history that is equal in style, material
accuracy and arrangement to that be.

THE CANAL TROUBLE

Panama, Dec. 5.-The differences be-

retary Of War Taft to the Isthmus
were settled by the issuance OF an ex-

The order provides that no trade for

THREE BURNED TO DEATH
BY USING GASOLINE

Pittsburg, Pa, Dec 5. - In a fire
which was remarkable for its rapid.ty
and awful havoc, Mrs. Rock Perry and
two Of her children we're burned to
death. Rock Perry, the husband, and
his son Henry and daughter Annie
were forced to stand in the street and
see the tragedy. The forceful though
kindly efforts of the police kept them
from rushing into the flames for their
loved ones.
The fire is thought to have been
caused by a spark from a coal stove
setting fire to the carpet. which Mrs.
Perry was cleaning with gasoline. The
first thing known about the fire was
when flames we're seen issuing from
the front door OF the house. Neighbors
who watched the fire from its start
said that never a cry or moan issued
from the death chamber on the first
floor.
Mrs. Perry. from her position on the
floor when found, seemed to have been
rendered unconscious instantly and
then became a prey to the flames.
Harmer. 3 years old, was found at her
side, and Charles, years old, was near
the door. He evidently had made an
effort to escape, but his little, weak
body, was unable to Withstand the on
slaught of the fame and smoke.
The house was destroyed inside ol
10 minutes after the explosion.
