had thoroughly made up my mind,
that Tor the present at least, ! would
buy no books, especially subscription
book; but when saw that had an
opportunity to get on easy terms,
''Stoddard's Lectures" about which l
have been reading for several years. i
could not make up my mind not to ges
them. Especially was this true, when !
raw what people whom know well.
and who have the books in their library,
have to say as to the real worth and
value OF the books.
Most people know Of John L. Stod-
dard, and likely they know that these
very Lectures were delivered In all the
great cities In the United States, and
that people paid high price for the
privilege Of hearing them; but they,
like me, were not aware that they could
be had Ia book form and 80 beautifully
Illustrated. With me tie work ofprao-
teal value; can use 1t every day and
will do so. cannot visit these place 8
and see them, but these Lectures bring
them to me, and in this way / ans to
say the least, made intelligent ~ 10
thess countries, and less l could net
afford. f'.''o 's'AOp
what's true In my case, fesi Is tFus
In the case OF many others they can't
afford not to know about these coun7
tries-especiaIIy since the nations are
brought SO much In touch as they now
are These Lectures will interest every
body, and they will instruct ant ele-
vate any one who reads them. | have
many books In my library that scarce
ly ever read or refer to. but Ss to these
Lectures, this cannot be the case, for
they contain Information that not
only but anyone. will be constantly
warting to know. They will be a most
valuable addition to any library and an
excellent nucleus for those who are
just beginning library.

.The Wheel of Life"

Miss Ellen Glasgow's new novel,
1.-THE Wheel Of Life" has been q cons
splcuous literary event, not only on
account OF the distinguished reputation
OF the author, but because 1t records
the full ripening OF her art and IL new
revelation OF her unusual powers. THE
Wheel Of Life" Is q novel whose
complex plot Is treated In q smssterly
manner. Its tlleld Of a action is New
York, its time the present and Its
characters men and women that you
know;that is whose replicas you know.
The story is one ofhearts-of misnateh-
ed hearts, we might say-vf women who
fiutter mcth-like at the burning tapers
OF passion aud with sInged wings re-
treat In pain; Of men who dominate By
the force Of mentality or else to whom
the physical gives the power OF CON
troll. In strange tangle are the loves
OF the men and women Of thls novel.
The hero is q man Of striking
individuality; the heroine is poet Of
rare talent. Between them Is evolved
a drama Of vital and moving Interest,"
and the lay characters and forces that
contribute to it's unfolding make 1t q
piece OF literature Of large proportions.
The brilliant frivolity OF society Is Sc I
forth and the character OF a good man
is made attractive. 1.-THE Wheel OF
Life" shows a lsrgeness OF vision and a
depth of Understanding that will rank
1t with the genuine achievements Of
American fiction. 1t Is by far Miss
Glasgow's most mature and impressive
work.
The volume 10 handsomely boundi
and contains 474 pages. 1t Is Issued
from the publishing house Of Doub-
leday, Page L Co.. Now York. and che
price is si.50. 70

A member of the Legislature
who has studied these measures
finds that in the aggregate bills
introduced thus far for special
appropriations ask for $4,000, 900
more than the regular appropria-
tions which total about "a, 900, 600.
When one remembers that the
States surplus is only about $780,
600, 1t can readily be seen that
some CT the money seeking persons

appointed before the Legislature

MORMON CHURCH
PREPARING To co
OUT Of BUSINESS

Salt Lake City. May 1.-THE Mormon
church is going out of business. according
10 local morning paper. It's principal
holding i'm Salt Lake. the Utah Light and
Railway company, is to be taken over by
n s25. 900 corporation, composed OF Eng
lsh and American capitalists
The new company Will also acquire the
Ogden street railway and build an electric
line from Juab county, Utah, to ONEIDA
county Idaho. 1T will be known as the
Inter-Mountain Consolidated Railway
company and will be Incorporated both
in Utah and Idaho.
The enterprise will be financed through
the Inter-Mountain Trust company, incor-
porated In Utah and Idaho few days
ago.
simultaneously the announcement Is
made thai the Salt Lake and Los Angeles
railroad, another church property, has
been sold TO a local syndicate for $500. 900.
This road is i3 miles In length and runs
from the city 10 the lake. President Jo-
seph +. Smith Of the Mormon church Is
quoted as saying that the divorce OF re-
ligion from business is made on account
of the fact that the Mormons, whom the
church sought 10 protect years ago, no
longer need the protection OF the church
in business affairs.
The church entered business to assist
converts and strangers belonging to the
church, but as they are now on a firm
footing the church withdraws from busi-
ness entirely.
1t will work a commercial revolution
which will profoundly affect the political
and social life OF the state.
