A Topeka man who has been reading
Robert Chambers stories of sudden
love and marriage in the Saturday
Evening Post had a motif as yet not
used by the author which he intends to
suggest to him. Briefly it concerns two
trapeze performers, a man and a woman
who meet for the first time at a circus
with which they have just signed. It is
in the midst of a performance, a great
audience in front, and as the man
standing on his head on a cross bar be-
holds the woman. standing on her head
on another cross bar, nearby. he falls
Immediately in love with her, speaks
and learns that his passion is returned
COT course Chambers would express it
in no such tame and conventional phrase
as this) and the thing is all fixed up,
without the audience suspecting it, be-
fore they have finished their turn. AS
they drop to the stage floor and standing
bowling and kissing their hands to the
plaudits of the audience the man seizes
the womans hand and calls out, in the
same tone in which they ask for ply
sician under circumstances slightly diff
ferent us there a minister in the au
dience?" All the ministers in the house
sit tight and say nothing, but probate
Judge speaks up, a license is secured
and the wedding takes place at the end
of the performance.

Rex E. Beach, author of the book
of Alaskan and western stories, "Pard-
ners," is one of the few men who have
crossed Katmai Pass. Katmai is con-
passes in Alaska, and the number of
men who have persisted in attempting
to cross it reaches near to one hundred.
Mr.. Beach went into Alaska overland
from Seattle, in 1900, and his route
made 1t necessary for him to cross Kat
mai. The worst danger lay in the cold
and the high winds, which under certain
conditions rushed through the pass at
hurricane speed. Beach and his two
companions camped below the pass
for several days. waiting for an oppor-
tunity to dash through. The wind sub
sided, the journey was begun, and all
went well until the party were just at
the ridge of the divide. Then the hur-
rioane of wind and snow began again,
and Beach and his companions had the
fight of their lives. 1t took the last
ounce Of muscle and the last atom of
energy to reach safety. A few days pre-
viousiY, they heard, five men had lost
their lives in an attempt to get through.
Mr.. Beach looks upon that adventure
as the most thrilling event of all his
three years experience in Alaska.

All Paris has gone wild upon the
subject of red. Red is worn in the
most unexpected ways.
1t is important at all times to get
ones colors right. Therefore it is
only just to say that all shades of red
are not fashionable. The woman who
comes out in brick red makes a mis-
take-though you see her very often
and the woman who wears red hat
that does not go well with her hair
makes double mistake.
The reds most in vogue just now
are the tomato and geranium colors
The red of the gardefia is also worn
and the matchless red of the cameIIia.
These shades are seen everywhere,
and IN everything, but particularly is
the red of the geranium worn a great

is cerise.

7 gins in Wonder this attractive little
volume is intended to awaken the in
terest of the young folks in garden lore
by presenting before them some of the
wonders of plant life. The work is
arranged chronologicaliys that Is to
say, it treats in order of the twelve
months, and explains the stages of
growth according to the procession of
| the seasons. A personal interest is
given to the narrative by the introduce
ton of David and Prudence, who are
taught by their grandfather to grow
plants in window gardens in the winter
and in the outdoor beds in the spring
and summer. The facts about plant
life are clearly explained and many in
teresting matters, of which a large
number of adults are unaware, are set
forth in a way to inspire the young
sters with an ardent zeal for the gar
den work. The book is beautifully
bound in a manner to attract the little
readers at first glance.
A remarkable order was recently
placed by the Mexican government
with Charles Scribner's Sons for the
printing of 1000 copies of Carl Lum-

The book had first to be translated

ton of a representative of the Mexican
government, but in other respects it
was printed and gotten up in exactly
the same form and with exactly the
same illustrations as the edition in
English.
