FRANKS OF THE SMALL BOY. =

S~AA&4AAAA A~~A
Some of the small boys of this place
have recently been too free in the use
of their rifles and several squirrels
which have visited back doors and
been fed on nuts by good housewives
are missing. One man lost his rooster,
last Friday, and 1T has been thought
best to stop this unlawful shooting
and the carrying OF firearms publicly
by these boys. People become at
tached to pet squirrels or pets of any
kind. They dislike to have them de-
stroyed by the foolish whim Of boy.

Hearts Haven by Katherine Evans
Blake. is a story of southern Indiana. It's
scenes are laid in the town OF New Har-
mony, which is unique in American annals
as The seat of both the old Rappite com
munity and of the later famous society
founded by Robert owen. owen interested
himself chiefly in the solution of indus
trial problems, and to this end he estab-
lished model factories, where the employees
might find an environment clean and cheer
full and pleasant. The town still survives,
though the communlstic ideas have long
ago vanished, and those who visit It de-
scribe 1t as charming, with its clean, broad,
shady streets and It's unusual atmosphere
of culture and refinement. It was here
that the Rappists established their strange
religious communistic settlement after
they had moved from the hills of Pennsyl-
vania, where the Harmony society was
originally organized. Believing family ties
antagonistic to community Of interests"
the sacred VOW of celibacy'' was insisted
upon, but as usually happens in such cases,
in spite OF all the teachings and exhorta-
tons of the elders, love found a way to
enter the forbidden precincts. Mrs Blake
shows a true understanding of human ma
ture and her story possesses considerable
dramatic ability. The Bobbs-Merr4ll COM

prove of historical interest to those inter-
ested in this subject, To David Low Dodge
of New York belongs the high honor OF
having written the first pamphlets pub

against the war system of nations, and of
having founded the first peace society ever

organized, with Mr.. Dodge as it's president.
This was four months before the organi-

and nearly year before that of the Eng

The present volume contains both OF Mr
Dodge's famous old pamphlets. with an
introduction by Edwin d. Mead telling the
story in the peace cause. Himself an en-
enterprising merchant, David l.. Dodge's
whole later life was devoted earnestly to
the cause of peace. The pre-emineht his
