Saying "HeIIo" to Heart Throbs.

Saying "Hello" to Heart Throbs.
ut is a curious thing" said prom
inent lecturer recently, how some
books have strong radiatirg person
ality, SO that you feel like saying
'Howdy' every time you come across
them. Last Christmas l visited friends
When the supper dishes had been put
away, the chores done and the evening
lamp lighted we gathered beside the
organ for good old fashioned Sing
On the center table were strewn the
Christmas remembrances taken from
Christmas tree on the evening before.
Glancing over them I suddenly ex-
claimed Hello! my good friend,
Hello!' and as the others looked up
with surprise, picked up a copy of
Heart Throbs' and read to them from
its pages the piece spoke in
school 40 years ago.
That was enough to set in motion
the friendly entertaining spirit of
Heart Throbs. and the music was for
gotten as we took turns reading the
humorous and pathetic bits of prose
and verse that have been preserved
In this wonderful volume. Some books
have great literary value. some have
historical significance, but Heart
Throbs is the only book l know that
slaps you on the back in friendly
sort of way, suiting itself to your
moods and proving faithful to every
emotion. Next to my love of the Bible
love Heart Throbs. 1t is the most
notable book of the times"

there is no honesty in this world.
There is, although you may not be

tho principal witness in the trial OF

Holmes, Jr., of the Agricultural De-

to develop the fact to-day that Mr..
Van Rlper's disappointment over his
failure to realize profit on his specu-
tlatlons supplied tho motive for his
complaint to Secretary Wilson. out OF
which grew the charges against
Holmes, which caused his discharge.
Van Ripper admitted his disappointment
and his feeling against Haas, the al

&he harbored no resentment against
Holmes and declared that in his ex-
lposures he was actuated only by de-
sire to promote the public welfare.
Mr.. Van Riper's direct examination
was completed and his cross-examina-
