Charles G. d. Roberts, who writes
about the back woods and the forest kim
dreds, and the fascinating game of trap
and snare and chase, has given us one OF
his most robust and exciting narratives
In ION the Night Trail" in the January
McClure's. The story of the backwoods-
man who captures lynx aud then turns
1t into an ally to help him fight pack of
wolves, has the swift, vigorous action and
the keen breath of out of-doors adven-
ture which has not ceased 10 charm and
thrill us since the days when we read
Cooper.

"A beer "plug" has been invented that
fills long felt want in Kansas and other
arid regions. 1t is solidified beer. The
purchaser pays 10 cents for one of the
plugs and dissolves 1t IN water. A fine
schooner of foaming lager is the result.
The officers, of course, arrested man in
Topeka who sold the sDlldified jags and
he was acquitted. A solid chunk of dark
brown material isn't 4 liquid. The law
specifies liquid intoxifants as the things
to be prohibited and the plug is there
fore immune. The sale of the useful and
and Joy. producing commodity goes mer-
rily on. Wherever there's will to ac-
quire alag, there is generally way.
These tremendous April down-pours
in the month of January are very nice for
washing up things and Keeping the rivers
and brooks in good stage of navigation,
but they are not a desirable commodity
in the making of good roads by long
shot. and those who have much travelling
to do would doubtless desire more
strenuous condition of things in the mat
ter of winter weather, also. Gas bills, to
be sure, are made much lighter by this
glorious summer climate, but that is not
the only thing to be considered either.
We wouldn't for a moment grumble at
the weather man, but he might furnish
more seasonable article without hurting
the feelings of the average denizen of the
of this vast banana belt stating 1t mildly.
p. S.-She's a-howllng all right this
morning, but wc take back nothing.
