The February "smart Set"

OF the sixteen short stories in the
February Smart Set each is so ex-
cellent in its own way that it is almost
impossible to make a selection of any
one as best" Caroline Ours 1.-THE
Duty of the Beast" is tale almost
equal to the finest thing Edith Whar-
ton has done; Owen divers ''The God
of Our Fathers" contains a thrill for
the lovers of all that is startling and
dramatic in fiction; Vincent Harper's
"Stuff O. Dreams" is an exquisite idyll
of the south seas; Ethel Sigsbee Small $
"Tasters at Fame" is one of the best
examples in the field of "child storie S
for grown ups;" Elliot Flowers "a
Pass to Paradise" is delightful in its
mingled humor and romance; while
Margery Willinms's "The House by
the Way" is pathetic and beautifully
told tale. Besides these stories there
are others of equal merit by Catharine
Mathews, Elizabeth A. Sears Guy r.
Bolton, Helen Vacaresco, Tom Mason,
and Algernon Tassin, with one in Fren-
ch by Cyrille Hardy.
Altogether the February Smart Set
is splendid example of what modern
magazine should be.

James J. Jeffries Thrilling Ride.

"I've been up against some big
propositions in my time, but that one of
yesterday just headed 'em all off.
1t was big James ]. Jeffries, the
worlds great fstic phenomenon, talk
ing of his Christmas ride to Pueblo in
the cab of the Colorado & Southern
flyer. The trip was little Christmas
attention from Vice President and
General Manager J. NJ. Herbert, who
had heard that the champion puglist
had expressed wish to have one good,
swift ride on the big iron steed that
pulls the heavy Colorado & Southern
flyer through space at the rate of a
cannon ball. And so, with that fine old
vetern of the road, Engineer Harry
Dunno, the trip was made.
az know now what it is in the face of
a good engineer that has always i'm
pressed me and made me leary of start
ing anything with him." Continued
the big fellow. 'It's the everlasting
nerve and determination of him. l
found this out watching Harry Dunno
as we swung around curves and shot
across level places at aspeed that made
my hair curl.
There he stood, with his hand on the
lever and his eyes straight front, never
uttering a word to anybody but the
fireman and only to him when he wanted
more steam. 1t was the grandest sight
l ever saw and it made me understand
how it is that the Colorado & Southern
road can yank so many thousands safely
across the country at the rate of a
shooting star.
Its all in the road and the engineer,
as railroad man once said to me and
now found that not only the road was
all right, but that this was the rightest
gin had ever seen. Steady as
clock and face on him that never
changed for a second and was kept al
ways toward the track ahead while
was hanging on for dear life, just the
same as if was riding a comet-well |
l never did see such man and I'll say |
right her that if had an eye on me
like Dunne's l could hypnotize the
devil and put him out in one round.
Great ride! You betl but say, Twas
never ratified so bad in my life as was
when Dunno first put the real seped on. |
/ couldn't see much of anything for a
Will. /. and the telegraph poles howled
past US like string of Indians. But
watching Dunno, SO cool and steady, |
had soothing effect on me, after
little and began to sit up and take /
notice. l found that when you get |
used to it you can see all right. After |
got my nerve back l felt like b ir
and no wonder, for we sure flew.
81 don't know that would care to |
ride that way every day, for it certain
ly is-what s that Teddy Roosevelt says?
oh yes, strenuous; but IN much obliged
TO the Colorado & Southern for the |
experience and tell you I've got an
ace-high opinion of that road and the |
people who run it. Denver Post Dec
