Rise of Latchkey, |
q the Boston Herald.

From the Boston Herald.
 over in England the possession of a latchkey has lately been in the courts to have an important bearing on the eec- toral rights of man claiming to be householder. With us the latchkey has grown so universal as to be no indication of a mans status, or woman's either, for that matter. Not so very long ago the American woman's right to the latch key was subject for jocular argument pro and con, but women's latchkeys are now as common as mems. For an institution that dates back only about seventy years the latchkey has stepped with some sud denness into its place of universi necessity.

REALN OF BOOKS


A new edition of "The North Star" by Mrs. M. E. Henry-Ruffln. has been brought out by Little, Brown & Go. It Is a timely publication on account of the in- terest in Norway and It's lately selected sovereigns, for Mrs. Rufflns hero is the first king of that country, and hls coro- nation and that of King Haakon took place in the same ancient city Of Trond- helm.
 'The North Star Is considered In Flu rope as a work of great literary merit and historical importance. The king and queen of Norway have sent Mrs. Ruffin letter commenting the book for it's valuable de- scriptions of the early Morse heroes and events. and the ''societe des Gems de Let tres' of Paris requested a picture of the author to place in the Bibliotheque Ma tionale of that city among the writers of distinction.
 It was recently announced that Homer Davenport, the cartoonist, has returned from abroad with the largest and finest collection of Arabian horses ever shipped 10 America. There are q splendid steedg in the above collection and they represent a little side issue to Davenport's trip to Turkey and Arabia, where he went to write and illustrate a series of articles for the Woman's Home Companion. Da- venport's great admiration for horses is not generally known, nor the fact that he owns a regular ZOO of wild fowl and anil nlals near Morris Plains, New Jersey. The cartoonist's first-hand impressions of the sultan and his people should make in- teresting reading.
 Little, Brown & Go. announce a third printing of "The Dragon Painter" by Ma ry McNeil Fenollosa Sidney McCalD; a third printing of 'In Treaty With Ho- mer.'' by Mary Catherine Crowley; and second printings of The Queens Host age," by Harriet T.

ton in this latest romance is discovered in action, seeking to save the life of a young girl from the Indians as the cur tain rises. He fights with Custer in that desperate struggle on the Little Big Horn when it falls, and throughout the book marked powers of description are mani fest. The story has the full flavor of the west in the early seventies, and its hero and heroine, their interest heightened by an agreeably prolonged mystery, are of the sort that Bret EIarte introduced to the literary world.
 The Shelburne Essays of Paul Elmer More, literary editor of the Evening Post, which have always appealed to thought full and cultivated people. are reaching a constantly increasing circle of general readers--a fact in which MT. More's pub fishers, who well know how to value his work and who regard him as one of the foremost critics now writing in English, take a very special pride and pleasure. And it Is fortunate that he is steadily finding this wider vogue. The want of such recognition would mean an ominous obtuseness on the part of the American public for a blind eye to literary excel- fence Is a bad social symptom, indicative of a paralysis of one of tthe powers that make for a broad and humane civiliza- ton.
 The reason why MT. More is finding a wider and wider audience is plain; it Is because the more striking qualities of his work demand no technical literary equip ment on the part of the reader. Like the essays of Saint-Beuve, they appeal to ev- cry man whose intelligence is awake, whose curiosity about life and human na- ture Is keen, and who wishes, as well through the broader experience of books as through the narrower personal experi- ta lrrnu possible, to come to better terms with It.. The fourth series of MT. More's Shelburne Essays are now on the point of being published by G. P Putnam'S Sons.
 "Job," the French illustrator, whose pictures appear in Chatfield-Taylor's Mo Here: A Biography" issued by Duffield & Company, is in real life Jacques Onfroy, Comte de Breville. After studying in the Lycee Louis le Grand and the College Stanislas, he spent five years in fitting himself to become a painter of military subjects, being for some time an officer in the Fourth Cuirassiers. His pictures, while having great vivacity, make a spe- cialty of historical accuracy in all ap- pointments, and the Comedie Francaise itself lent him costumes for his work on the Moliere.

Calhoun, Ala, May 22, 1906. To the Democrats of Alabama I hereby announce myself candi- 1 date for the office of Commissioner of Agriculture. and Industries, subject to the action of the Democratic primary, to be held on the 2Ith day of August. | 1906.
 I am native Alabamian; my father died in the Confederate army in 1864. at which time was eleven years or age. Many of us remember that the schools, together with other good in- , stitutions of our beloved Southland, went down. My mother, being poor. found it necessary to work. day in and day out to support her. my two sisters and younger brother. hence graduat- 1 ed between the blow handles, securing a fair average education. But with the blessings of God attending me. l have made an honest living and have been able to pay one hundred cents on every I dollar tha. I have promised from that | day to this.

I was nomi- mated by the Jeffersonian Democrats for the office of Commissioned of Ag- riculture in 1892 ard 1894. the result Of that election is history. In 1898 I was elected Judge of Probate of Chiffon County, and believe that I could have had a second term, having been nomi- 1 mated in a Democratic primary, but on account of domestic afflictions l decid- ed to withdraw from politics. and de- clined-the nomination. However new CT permitted my zeal and interest in the Democratic rarty to weaken--the party of my youth and in whose prin- ciples I have ever been strong be- liever
 have had more personal and prac- tical experience as farmer than in any other business of my life, and 1t is useless for me to argue to you that I have given the best part of my life to the interest of the farmers of my State. and I promise you that If l am nominated and elected to this offfce, l will devote my greatest energy in mak- ing 1t an office of great profit and ad- vantage to the people of the State. But should you in your wisdom give this nomination to one of my opponents I will do my duty in securing his cleo tion. I am with you. and in the lan- gnage of Ruth, "I will go with thee: thy peorle shall be my people; thy God shall be my God. snd where thou art buried I will be buried"

THE EVILS OF
 CONSTIPATION. Everyone Knows When He is COnstl- pated and Everyone Should Know the Risk He is Running When He Fails to Promptly
 Correct it.
Any Disease Epidemic or Otherwise to Which He or She May be Exposed
 is Sure to Result Seriously.

There are two ways to remove consti- patton; the wrong way is to dreneh the bowels with a powerful. griping, drastic cathartic that injures the coating of the bowel channels and produces an early return of the trouble in a more chronic form. The right way is to use a natural. easy and mild laxative that toues up and strengthens the bowels and leaves a healthful influence behind 1t. Prickly Ash Bitters will empty the bowels just as thoroughly as the harsher cathsrtics' and combines all the tonic and strength ening properties necessary to Perms- nently cure the habit.
 Accept no substitute. Insist on having

 For a number of years requests have come to me from multitude of grateful friends, urging that Peruna be given a slight laxative quality.
