From the Kansas City Star.
 Slowly and painfully the assistant bill clerk walked into the shipping room. He limped to the billing desk and carefully moved the high stool. But he did not sit down.
 What's wrong?" asked the shipping clerk.
 T sure hate to tell,' the bill clerk answered, but I guess I'll have to relate all the harrowin' details. My wife's never satisfied. I been maxim garden all week around the barn, but that aint enough Yesterday mornin at the breakfast table she says sudden like:
 'EusophuS, that barns got to be shngled. Today's a mighty good day to do It.
 Well, sir, there wasn't nothing to do but get to work. So I got shovel to rake the shingles off with and then l got a ladder to climb up on the roof The ladder was kind O wobbly so my wife said she'd hold it. I was carryin' the spade in one hand and our kid was help in my wife hold the ladder. I'd gone up about six rounds when the pesky thing got shaky. One O my feet slipped and went right in my wife's face. She howled an I got scared. I dropped the fool spade and it hit the kid square on the top of the head. He howled, too.

 'I got all the shingles off but the nails wouldn't come. They were all stickin' up from the under timbers.
 Better drive those nails in fore you start shinglin' my wife says.
 Who's bossin' this Job anyhow? yelled. I was gettin mad. I guess know what I'm dC.l'. I'll drive tn nails in as ! go along. I'll save time by it.

 In the eastern portion of Lawrence county, Tennessee, is a lake covering about twenty acres which has a his tory of interest. There are still living number of old citizens who remember when it was dry land.
 Fifth years or more ago prosperous country village stood on the spot where the lake now is. The town was called Oakville, and it was one of the most im- portant places in that section of the state in those days.
 Suddenly the land on which the town was located commenced to sink, and finally about twenty acres went down. carrying with 1t all the buildings and many stocks of goods were entirely lost.

 Emmett, Idaho has a woman manager of a baseball team. She is Mrs. August Thommen, wife of the manager of the hotel at Emmett, and her team is called the Junior League, being composed of Emmett boys. The boys wanted to play ball with outside towns, but some of the mothers objected to their going away from home without a chaperon, and Mrs. Thommen consented to act as such, to the great delight of the boys. The boys had their first game last Saturday, when Mrs. Thommen took them to Nampa to play a boys team. Now the Emmett youths are shy on whiskers. of necessity. owing to their tender years, and they say it was because the Nampa boys, some of them are particularly strong on facial adorn- ment. that the Emmett team is loser The score was 13 to 10.

 "The Stolen Throne" by Herbert Hauf-
 man and May Isabel Fisk. Illustrated
 by Howard Chandler Christy and Her
 man Rountree. Published by Moffat,
 Yard X Co
 The story of "rhe Stolen Throne" opens in an interesting yet very conventional manner in London and introduces the reader at once to q couple of very pro- saic Engishmen. However. with the opening accidentally of a secret spring in an old table and the finding of a small chest with all sorts of mysteries within the story takes on a more acute interest and the reader finds himself well settled in an atmosphere of romantic fancy where he can easily forget the prosaic cares of life pressing upon him from without Then follow very rapidly and with well sustained interest the journey to little European kingdom tucked conveniently away into obscurity and the rush of the two Englishmen into the tangled web of the little klngdom's affairs. very com plicated love story gives the needed touch of human interest, and altogether the story is a most pleasing one

As it's name implies. it is made up of reflections and anecdotes bearing upon child life and child wisdom with the scrptural line flor of such is the kingdom of God" as the keynote of the text. It is most in- terestingly written and is suggestive and inspiring.
 "Caleb Conover, Railroader." by Albert
 Payson Terhune" Published by the
 Authors and Newspaper Association.
 "Caleb Conover, Railroader," Is em- phatically an American story. It is alive with stirring action, adventure and sur prising situations. well with the most startlngly vivid character drawing. Caleb himself is most original produc- tion and the description of his evening affair spoken of ''as a forlorn hope" in trying to 'galvanize'' or blend "saloon- keepers and Pompton avenue people, Is most unique. The story is alive with many of the political situations that agi- tate the life of today.

Yet .tn. many of the prosaic events of childhood he follows with so much detailed actual ity as to make 1t wearsome to the reader. However, there is always one prerogative the reader possesses and that Is the priv ilege of skipping" and after liberal indulgence in the present instance more readable portion of the story is reached.
 'The Stranger by J. F. J. Caldwell. The Neale Publishing Co.
 ''Tne Stranger" is a strong and com polling book. Mir Caldwell is a southern man and knows the conditions of which he writes. He was an officer on the fighting line of Lees army and was sub sequently a prominent figure in one of the so-caIled Ku-Klux counties off the south. The scene of the story takes place some six years after the war, and 'the second and not less bitter war, the reconstruction, is in progress" 1t is the story of a young Connecticut woman who goes south to teach school. "Eleanor is no coward and she goes. goes all alone. The story of the long. hard lonely, cruel days, when every power of her charac- ter was tested, every quivering nerve strained, is told in The Stranger. "

 ans Sacrifice" by Beni H. Atwell. Re

 'Ths Conquest" by Daisy Fitzhugh Ayres. The Neale Publishing Go.
 John Temple Graves says of Mrs. Daisy Fitzhugh Ayres, this Virginia Kentucky woman: 'I do not know any one who in speech or in writing tingles with more vivid life and pulse. There are many women of talent who have written and are writing now good stories for the world but Mrs Ayres is one of the few women of genius whom I have had the honor to know and I am looking forward with the keenest interest to her new vol ume which Is promised. "The Conquest" is a brilliant story and told with direct ness and vividness. The heroine. Cynthia Ware, Is a western woman, brave, gener- ous and large-minded.
 Yet the story Is composed of a most extraordinary conception of psychological forces in presenting which the author seems to imagine that evil can overcome evil: yet Cynthia Is forced to realize and acknowledge that "retributon and poetic justice are truer things than one dreams, sometimes" It's very strange doc Urine exploited here and a perverted

"Success in Life" by Emil Reich. Pub
 lished by Duffield x Go.
 Success in Life Is new volume just from the press by the author of Sue cess Among Nations" The book is made up of some thirty chapters upon every conceivable condition of life it would seem The first part is devoted to the discussion of "rhe Principles of Ener- getics" and what the author terms the "constants of success e'fhe second part treats of the "Variables of Success" while the third part treats most ex- haustively of individual success in vari- ous professions. In the preface Mr. Reich says: All that is said in this work i, the result. not of abstract think ing on life. but of personal and concrete suffering and fighting and observing. The author has studeG fought and suffered both in Europe and America for many a year. How to be successful in what ever walk of life is both the keynote and the inspiring ideal of the whole. And 1t would seem after even cursory glance along it's pages that any one, whether a bank clerk or the president of cor poration, who applies any part of MT. Reieh's direct and potent advice in this volume, must profit by it." At the con clusiod in what Is termed the 'Epilogue' the author writes
 .rrhe real and comprehensive truth is this, that honest and great success IS due chiefly to authority provided we give this word the meaning 1t is intended to have in this connection. To have au- thorty. to be looked upon as person having, or likely to have, authority thls is the essence of practical life. By authority we mean the sum total of such qualities. accomplishments or achieve ments in young man or woman that prevail upon other people to believe in them A man of authority will command love, money, honor. Lacking in authority, he will command nothing, he5will command nothing during his life time Energetics, then, or the science of success, is the study of the origin, growth and application of the greatest power of practical life-authority."
