why Great Novel Writers Are Scarce.
The number Of great novel writer's Is
small. A deep experience Of the world
and human beings is given to few, be-
cause few can bear the suffering which
is Its price, and fewer still have the
moral courage to tell the truth.-John

 useful aids of home making. receiving diplomas in cooking, laundrywork

 This Christmas Bazaar Is the great support-raising function of New York. It Is held always in the great ball room of the Waldorf-Astoria. The
 booths and tables are around the ball room. The boxes overlooking this are full of distinguished gorgeously gowned
 ratronesses. The tables and botths ara attended by the brightest and most at tractIve patronesses and guest that can
 be pressed into service, the flower and candy vendors are the most beautiful in New York. The adjacent rooms are opened for the serving of refreshments,

 Of the fifty-five thousand babies who began life in the borough of Man. haitian this year only thirteen were born on Fifth Avenue, between Wash ington Square and Ninety Fifth street, a distance of four miles.
 In bright contrast to the record of these seven hundred mansions, in First Avenue four hundred and forty-five little ones have appeared within the same time. at the rate of more than one per day.

 Only seven babies were born in the Avenue between the shadow of Wash ington Arch and Fifty-ninth street. Of course, everybody knows that busi- ness has crowded out the homes of the rich as far north as Forty second street, but this cannot be pleaded in excuse for those living between Forty second and Fifty ninth streets, the majority of whom represent wealth and social distinction. From Fifty ninth to Ninety-fifth street only six babies were born. Here another ex- cuse can be offered. for only one side

George Cary Eggleston, who has been spending the summer at his Lake George home, near the stone building containing the historical library col lected by his brother, the late Edward Eggleston, has completed his Little History of Colonial Life" with a new volume, Life in the Eighteenth Cen utry,'' which will be published with a large number of illustrations. MT. Eggleston gives a picture of life, man. ner and customs of Colonial days, and while political events are described in their sequence. the main object is to tell story of life which Is full of hu- man interest. connected history of Colonial life, written from this point of view by so successful a story writer and historian, will be likely to have a fresh and permanent value.

Edward E. Ellis. the favorite boys whiter. has just published the second volume of his New Deerfoot Series, en- titled "Deerfoot on the Prairies." The remarkable Shawanoe hunter and his three companions have some very ex- citing adventures on their long journ- ey from Ohio to the mouth of the Co., lumbia River. Charged by a herd of buffalo, surrounded by wild horses, al- most swept away by a cloud-burst, the two boys. George and Victor, owe their hair-raising escapes only to the quick wits and skill of Deerfoot and his Rlackfoot guide. How Deerfoot tanned the superb wild stallion, how the two young brothers boxed and wrestled with some insolent young Indian braves, and their nearly fatal provoca- tion of a monster grizzly bear form charters which no boy will want to miss. Finally the party win through the hostile hill tribes and come to the plain of the Columbia River. where thev leave their horses take to the ca- noe and embark on the turbulent stream for the coast. The scene is laid in inc time following the historic ex- redItion of Lewis and Clark. and the route followed is approximately the game as that of the great explorers. Mr. Ellis has drawn vivid picture Of tbe dangers which beset the pioneers of nearly one hundred years ago in the TvinninR of the West. Cloth, l2mo, 366 na~es. Illustrated with colored and black drawings by J. Steeple Davis.

NEW YORK. March 1s-Todays stock

Ohio and some of the Southern stocks

local traction group sharp early advance

The trading element laid much stress
upon the prospective passage by the
legislature OF the bill TO tax transfers Of
stocks. arguing that it would have q
decidedly detrimental influence on specu-
