Four glowing love tales out
Of the heart of the Middle Ages,
afre with romance,'Passion, and
adventure. Since the publication
Of The FOreJt Lovers, Maurice
Hewlett has written nothing so
delightful as these splendid tales.
There are four stories in this

for a little book. "The Love
Chase" is revelation, and
promises, if such a thing were
possible, to make a new reputa-

We have liked the tale. At a great

shoolingly: 'on one condition. Her eyes

There l. a boar hunt In the tale. An
athletic nobleman seises large and furious

him fast while q companion kills him with

An Interesting Feat Of the Imagination.

An Interesting Feat OF the Imagination.
The mantle Of Jules Verne must have
fallen upon the shoulders Of Mr.. Vincent
Harker, whose new novel, THE Mortgage
on the Brain. Is a most original and audaci-
Gus conception Of historical romance, and
the shade Of Edgar Allan Poe must look
on spprovingly at the daring and ingenious
feats Of the authors imagination In the
realm OF scientific fiction. Mr.. Harper
does not employ scientific possibilities In
the superficial manner Of the former master,
nor does he seek to bring about the gro
tesquely horrible effects which Poe pro-
duced. He simply projeots the scientific
and psychological speculation and ex-
pertinent Of the day to imaginary oon-
illusions, which he presents 30 foroefully
that, however much the readers credulity
IL taxed, they seem not only possible, but
convincing. The writer's style Is terse,
concise and direct as BELTS scientific argu-
ment, but the book IL Accordingly interest

The scientific hypothesis upon which
the story Is based is, In brief. that the per

TRUE MINERAL VALUE
OF THE STRONG ORES.

DR.. Swigart has just received from
two a%ssayers, Messrs. H. H. Hous,
ton and Trumbull of the univer.
sity, assays made from samples of the
ore taken from the 25O-foot level in the
Strong mine. The ores were divided
into two lots, one lot embracing the
poorest specimens to be found and the
other the best. The poor specimens
were sorted twice, the result giving,
in the estimation of DR.. Swigart, the
minimum value of the output. The
assay for this gave a net value in gold,
silver and copper of $3.50 per ton of
rock. The other samples, which COM
prise some four or five pounds of the
choicest ores of the drift, gave a re-
turn of $3.50 all told to the ton, in,
Guiding $500 in gold, 81 ounces
of silver and 1855 per cent of copper.
Practically the same result was obtain
ed by both assayers.

sonabIe Doubt Three Best WEAPONS
With Which to Fight Trusts
Takes Hopeful View of Situation.

Kansas City, Mo-, May 19.-Judge
Trimble, one of the leaders of the Mis-
souri, bar, addressed the Missouri Bal
association today on the trust issues
Judge Trimble said Imprisonment, the
formation of a special tribunal and the
elimination of reasonable doubt or
bubble were the three best weapon
to fight the trusts with. Weak-hearted
prosecutors and the resourcefulness of
the defendants had offset the adequacy
of the common law to treat with the
illegal combination. The filming of
the beef trust magnates by the Mis-
souri, supreme court he pronounced
ridiculous. If the v%iolators on that
occasion had been sent to Jail, the vio-
lations would have ended Immediately.
Trimble took a hopeful view of mat
tiers, however, saying that a few years
ago a suggestion to send to Jail a
Rockefeller or a Morgan would have
caused violent emotions among prose-
cutting officials and have disturbed
the equanimity of the bench, while
nowadays the demands are vocifer-
ously made and persistently reiterated.
