an even handed administration -f jus midway of their teens and a little old CT. It recounts the difficulties that came about because of the taking of two boys on the eleven who did not go straight" and many exciting times resulted before matters finally came out right in the end. Jack is one of the fellows who "gets there" and by no underhanded methods The tone and spirit of the book are excellent and there is no preaching. It is good, straightforward story telling too, and there is plenty of incident and adven- lures, including q daring rescue from under the nose of high speeding au- tomobile.
 The C. M. Clark Publishing Com pany of Boston has issued a story of surpassing interest, one of the number of attractive and striking stories is- sued by this firm for the holidays. This story is MT. Frederick A. Rays Maid of the Mohawk" dedicated by the author to the memory of his sath- CT. It introduces many Tryon Coun- ty worthies and very well describes the life and manners of the colonial rustic, to which class the hero belongs. It also professes to solve the mystery of the sum of money to which le-end ascribes the patriot success in one of its darkest hours, and represents Washington during his visit to the Ca- najoharie district, as being present at the donors death'bed. The scene of the hazardous exploits and mysteries narrated Is the Mohawk Valley, his toric ground, and the story is told with literary skill MT. Ray adds one more to a fairly long list of successful books from his pen The story is along familiar lines the Dutch youth and the French maid; New York city during British occupation; a spying trip there at Washington's personal request, and the tangles that follow, rather naturally, the enmity displayed against the hero by his stepbrother, who, of couse, is a rank Tory Gen. Herkimer and the battle of Oriskany have their part; indeed, MT Rays de- scription of that disastrous fight is one of the best things in his book, We also get a good bit about Cunningham,

 Mir. Smith continues his popular boys story of the Rival Campers in a series of speed contests between the Viking and the Surprise yachts, vari- ed with incidents of discovery of treasure, cutting out expeditions and collision. It Is one of the best of books of the season for youngsters. The adventures of Henry Burns and his friends on the "Viking" ending in a collision which leads to exciting times, the loss of the yacht and it's recapture, all go to make up an un- commonly exciting story. The book making is altogether commendable, as are the half dozen spirited illustra- tions by Louis D. Gawing.

The heavy storm of this morning was
accompanied by heavy hailshower.
but the storm, it seems. did no great
damage in this locality. The hail
stones were of large size. and the
shower continued for quite a few min
utes. The hail storm was preceded
by heavy rainfall and a severe cleo
trical storm. The streets were flooded.
and a heavy coating of clay was in
evidence on the pavements when the
storm had passed Gardens and flow
er beds in the city suffered consider

That the storm was more severe far
Their up the river is indicated by the
fact that throughout the morning many
small trees, evidently broken off by the
storm, could be seen floating down
stream. The telephone, telegraph. and

The developments in the case came
out slowly. Some time since a war

He learned of it and visited the office
of the states attorney. He said that

he had had trouble with his wife; that
he was willing to support her and that
if they would let him go that he would
appear when he was wanted and would
fix the matter up.
Alas. for Englehart and the general
propensity of mankind for lying. lie
left the Office of the states attorney
and fled to Iowa. This is where the
Gree business of this little drama
comes in. The wife learned of his
whereabouts. but that is about all she
got out of him. So she visited Rock
Island, having previously taken the
precaution to have a warrant for his
arrest in the hands of the police OF
that town. Remembering the days of
his courtship Englehart listened TO the
Establishments of his wife and made
visit to Rock Island. He was gobbled
by the police and yesterday when he
took a plea of guilty in the county
court he got six months and $50 and
costs.
