character. Once he made journey TO the Near

b. the monks whether he knew Philip OF Lon

he did. This story had always seemed 20 us to
be merely well invented until 1t was verified by
personal experience. We sitting one day
in coffee house at Constantinople conversinS
with a dragoman. He told us how he had once
been put in charge OF little man by the Consul
BOuVerie, by whom he was eXhorted to guard
him the apple OF his eye" To his horror one

Best also are the books that each one collects

a sacrifice. How often the pleasure that man

power of acquiring them! None knew better

Many who have thus collected small library.
book by book, reading each book before they
bought another, will recOllect the feeling OF be-
ing amongst strangers when a sudden accession
or the bequest of friend. They set TO work TO
make acquaintance with them, as in duty bound:
but they are not OF their choosing; the process
is to a great extent perfunctOry, and they never
really catch UP. For in the library as in the
world a reader makes many acquaintance but
few friends, and these few will be of his own
choosing.

Mr.. Mason is OF those nOvelists who have
the great virtue of knowing how to tell a story
Such writer's are not. after all, quite so numer-
Gus as one might infer them to be from the
claims that are made for modern fiction by
many reviewers. The average Of technical ex-
cellence in this field is surprisingly high, yet
you may go through dozen very we'll written
new stories and not find one that seizes your at
tention in the first chapter and holds it TO the
last without the aid of distinctly sensational
expedients. Mr.. Mason do this thing, and
at the same time eschew those tricks of furious
excitement and melodramatic surprise which,
indeed have lately been exploited with excessive
assduity. 1t is true that he realizes the dra-
matte possibilities OF a love story developed in
the shadow of criminal transactions, and in
Running Water" he gets his effect through just
such an arrangement of affairs. But kind Of
conservatism overlays his ingenuity. so that his

the long run, plausible. human impression

gwanders about the Continent in a mood of gross
materialism. Sylvia finds the life unendurabl

More than three-fourth of the revenue collected on account of liquor license, which is placed to the credit of the general revenue fund, has been turned into the State treas ury. What the total amount of the collections will be cannot be ascer- tained until it has been paid to the treasurer. The collections are made in January, and up to the present time there has been paid into thc State treasury $95,fS451. It is cs- timated that the total amount of liquor license that will be paid to the State this year will be about S12j.000, and if these figures prove to be correct there still is due about $29.220. The counties that have paid the liquor license collections into the treasury and the amounts are as follows: Ouachita. &, :; Garland, $14,150: Phillips, 4,113; Polk. S2, 100: Jackson. $1.S5O; Lee. $4.2O0; Chicot, $6,600; Prairie, 5000: Jefferson, SS,9i5.Ar; Poin- sett. $3.000: Carroll, $1,S00: Pu- laski. $22. 300; St. Francis. l. 166.1O: Sebastian.

 Baxter county citizens voted in their school election on the question of releasing County Treasurer Bakers bondsmen of one-third ot the loss of the $12,000 of the public school money by the failure of the Mountain Home bank year ago. As far as counted the vote shows a majority in favor of the bondsmen. Mir. Baker disposed of his property and made good $3,000 of the loss, leaving 5000 unpaid, for which suit has been brought against the bondsmen. The latter are willing to paY half this amount, and the recent vote was upon the question as to whether the public would as sume the balance of the amount.

It Is very probable that the company will be granted the contract for the completion of the line as soon as the 15 miles are completed. It is the intention to have the road completed by fall in order that the line may be In oper- ation for fall traffic.
