fallen from his dying mothers hand into

A Story or Indian Life.

A great deal of information concerning
the Navaj JOS, their customs and tribal laws,
festivals, dances and superstitions is crowded
into the story of -Chunda,' by Horatio
Oliver Laid Eaton and Mains. 1t is n story
with a purpose-that Of ~arousing interest
in the education of the ~Indian-and like
most stories Of the kind is more instruc-
tive than entertaining. Chunda was a
Navajo girl who came out from her tribe
TO be educated in the Government schools,
and later to study medicine that she might
return and relieve the suffering among the
women OF her people. But the great and
powerful medicine men-the Shamans-
bitterly resented this intrusion of a woman
into their profession, as medicine men
have ever done, and they reused the In
dams to a fierce conflict in which Chunda
nearly lost her life. but was rescued by an
educated indian boy who, like herself, had
been trained in an industrial school.
People interested in the education Of the
Indian will find many facts bearing on the
subject set forth in the form Of a story.

some ArtIess Fiction.

Ii Ia to be regretted that Mr.. Edgar G..
Blankman did not restrict himself to fact
in his Deacon Babbitt" CThe J Ohm C.. Win
ston Company, for where he describes real
scenes he is un iformly interesting. The
descriptions of Adirondack camps and hunt
ing, for instance, and the incidents of old
time country life in northern New York nave
the touch of reality that gives pleasure and
arouses recollections. Some episodes Of
the story, too, must have been taken from
life. In the imaginative part OF his book
the author at times mixes up the present
with the past rather unfortunately; the con-
versations betw cen the sexes might serve
as a manual for department, and we confess
that the hero's efforts TO find his lost family
impress US more with his Dutch stolidity
than with the Yankee enterprise he should
have learned from his shrewd protector.
Another little collection Of school stories
bv MIR. c. W. Bardeen appears in The
Cloak Room Thief" &C. W. Bardeen, SYRIA

the manners and psychology Of school
teachers. II will be noticed, however,
that az Mr.. Bardeen keeps on using fiction
for pedagogical purposes his grasp be-
comes surer, 30 that two or three of these
tales will be found Interesting in them
selves. and others miss excellence as stories
merely because the author holds grimly to
his didactic intention.

For catholic Doctors and Priests.

The importance given by the Catholic
Church to the administration of the sacra-
ments at the beginning and the end OF life
often puts physicians and clergymen in
perplexing situations. There are frequent
incidents at birth and death that must
create grave doubts in the mind OF the
one class of men, owing TO its unfamillarity
with theological decisions, and in the other
from it's ignorance of medical technicalities.
To make clear to both what the law OF the
Church is with regard to the problems
that confront them is the object OF a learned
and interesting volume of Essays in Pas
toral Medicine" by Austin OMalley and
James J. Walsh Longmans, Green and
Company. Both authors are doctors not
only Of medicine but Of philosophy and laws
besides, and show hat they have studied
casuistry profoundly.
Non-Catholic readers will be astonished
at the limitations put on fairly common
obstetricai operations by the doctrine
of the early transmission Of a soIl to the
unborn child. The theory Of the Church
in this matter is fully demonstrated in
the remarkable opening article on -ectopic
CESSATION by DR.. O'Malley. All Of the
papers signed by him are in the nature
Of scientific illustration, while those By
The sun. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1833-1916, 1906-12-22

DR.. Walsh are more popular in treatment
and more readable. He deals. too, with
matters Of general interest that any one
may read, while DIR. O'Malley usually
handles more delicate questions the dis
cussion of which belongs to professional
men.
The latitude which both authors recon-
mend to priests In the administration OF
the last sacraments is noticeable, as Is their
exposition of determining the exact mo
ment OF death. They deal with many ques-
tious besides that come up in the daily ex-
p~erience Of doctor and Of priest, such as
drunkenness, crime, mental disease, infec-
tious diseases, and so on. These are all
treated from the point of view of the con-
fessional as well "a that of the doctors

that follow it and the steps taken to verify
it pale in the glare of it's brilliant mendacity.
The hero's stories are usually good; those
of his wife would be if she did not inter-
ject explanations that are needless to the
persons she addresses, even IL they help
the reader. The connecting plot is absurd
and there is a superabundance OF goody
goodness as it advances. 1t is needless
cruelty to infict on the reader the verse
attributed to the hero's daughter, who was
a nice girl at the start.

.'The AvenEinE Hour Is CurIOusIy Inter-
esting.

Bv the daring and delicate treatment Of
a risdue theme, Mr.. II. F. Provost Battersby
has achieved distinction and compelled
admiration for his story The Avenging
Hour" CAppletons). Stripped Of the adroit-
ness and dizziness of suggestion, the skill
and charm Of dialogue and description,
reduced to the bold outlines Of plot, the
story is we'll nigh impossible.
A young and beautiful woman is hurried
into a railway train just moving out Of
London for Wales. A recently returned
army officer on his way to visit an aged
cousin in Wales, whose estate he expects TO
inherit, opens the door of his compartment
to assist the belated traveller. Her uncon-
ventional entrance breaks down the bar
riers OF reticence, conversation develops
into an exchange Of condolences, intimacy
into a sudden and ardent p~assion-each
recognizing in the other the affinity which
makes love the supreme arbiter of conduct.
An accident to the train results in their
spending the night together. Tit -Aveng-
ing Hour" dawns when at their journeys
end he finds that she is the wife OF his cousin
and she learns that he is her husbands
heir and her guest.
She. womanlike, would arrange some sort
OF compromise by which he should remain
near her. He fees to the desert to fight in
a murderous campaign. The descriptions
of desert life, the desperate warfare, have
something of Merriman's dash and spirit
In the midst of it comes the news that the
cousin is lead and that the hero has sue
| ceeded TO the title and may return to the
woman he loves. On the long journey home
another piece Of belated news advises him
| of the birth Of a posthumOus heir which he
knows to be his own son. Here is another
-Avenging Hour" and certainly a novel
situation. It Ia not often that a man is
done out of his inheritance by his own son
! Here, too, TO be truly artistic and in accord
with the title, the story should end, but
after another exile in an uncomfortable
climate the hero returns to find the child
dead. the woman still beautiful and the
estate his own.
II ia a curious story, and above the com
monplace in artistic workmanship.

THE DEMOCRATIC TICKET

The democratic ticket as nomi-
mated at Solomonville on October
9th is now before the people.
There is not u man on it for whom
we are apologizing.
Read the ticket from top to bot
tom and there is every reason
why democrats should support it.
The men nominated are clean
and conscientious. A better lot of
men to conduct the affairs of the
county could not be selected from
our citizenship. They are all in
terested in the progress of the
county and merit the support of
all citizens.
Every man on the ticket will
carry out the platform as promul-
gated by the party in its conven-
ton. Read that platform and
then compare it with all others,
1t declares for reforms thet can be
put into execution with the demo-
cratic ticket elected. Anti joint
statehood is a democratic measure
and that kind of ticket will be
voted by every democrat in Ora.
ham county. The platform comes
out squarely upon this issue. Read
the platform and become convinced
Every candidate stands for a
lower rate of taxation. In the
past two years taxation has. been
reduced almost one.half under
democratic administration. When
you receive your cards this fall
appraising you of what your taxes
are compare it with what your
former taxes were and then ask
yourself if democratic admins
tration has not done you some
good. With two years more OF
the same kind Of administration
your taxes will be less than they
are now.
1t is true that this paper has
been laughed at for asserting that
taxes would be less, but the fact
remains that they have been re.
duced almost one half in 1906 and
the county placed on cash basis,
AT the present time if you do work
for the county the cash is ready
for you as soon as your bill is ap.
proved by the supervisors. We
do not wonder that the people arc
proud of the democratic party and
will elect the ticket from top to

Figures on Coal

In his forthcoming report entl-
tied "The Production of Coal in
1906" Mr. Edward W. Parker of
the United States Geological Survey
has chapter on the shipments of
coal made by railroads that is in
the nature of a departure from the
usual contents of this annual re.
port.
From the producers reports
tables, showing the amount of
bituminous coal loaded for ship.
ment by different railroads, have
been compiled. The first table
shows the tonnage originating on
the lines of the great interstate
systems. The second table exhIb-
its the tonnage loaded on the
larger lines, penetrating, with a
few exceptions, two or three states
only. The third table shows the
shipments over less important
lines, the tonnage of which exceed
ed 100000 in 1905.
The shipments represented by
these tables amounted to about
226, 100000 tons, whereas the total
quantity Of coal loaded for ship
menJ during 1905 amounted to a
little over 255,000,O0O tons. In
some instances operators did not
reply to the inquiries, and the table
is therefore incomplete to the ex-
tent represented by these two
factors

roads. Second in importance is
the Baltimore and Ohio (iucludiug
the Baltimore and Ohio Southwest
ern,) with total shipments slightly
in excess of 20,00O,000 tons, OF
about 8 per cent of the total. The
Frisco system, which includes ais
the Chicago aud Eastern Illinois,
shipped something over l0,000,0OO
tons, the Illinois Central with over

Arizona Awake TO the Issue

1t sometimes happens that a
young woman is so anxious TO
marry that she seizes the first op
portunity, weds unwisely and
wrecks her happiness for life
There are people in Arizona who
would have that territory make a
similar mistake. They regard
statehood as so desirable that il
should be purchased at any price
and at the earliest possible mo-
ment. Probably every citizen OF
Arizona would prefer single state
hood to joint statehood, if the two
were equally available. But single
statehood is for the present an i'm
possibility, and those who consid-
er immediate admission to the
Union as of the highest importance
favor Joining with New Mexico as
the only way to get it under the
enabling act of congress.
These enthusiasts or "sooners'
fortunately are not very numerous
A large majority of the people OF
the territory recognize that union
with New Mexico would be o
blunder whose bad results would
offset many times any advantages
that would accrue from speedy
statehood. They know that il
will be only few years until Ari
zona will possess all the quaIifica.
tions for separate admission. The
rapid growth in population, in in
dustrial development, in transpor
tatiOn facilities, in tinancil and
commercial stability. in education
al ins sttutions and general intelli
gence will at no distant day enable
this thriving territory to demand
of congress that its claims tC
single statehood be recognized and
hOnored
While there is little doubt that
Arizona will reject joint statehood
by decisive majority, the people
are taking no chances of possible
failure in this purpose The anti,
statehood fight is beng waged
vigorously aud enthusiastically
The campaign is an educational
one and small opportunity will be
given to voters to plead Ignorance
Of the issue, They are being
shown that the opposition to the
pending measure is not fight
against statehood, but is fight foI

having and that tn" future is sure
