 In her new book Miss Davis has avoided all political problems, although she has retained as a background the land of Dixie, with it's beauty and TO- nance. with it's Southern and Northern lack of comprehension, which has led to so much discussion and dissension. It is a novel of abundant incident and original thomc.

"The Goddess. of Reason"

Ane UOuucss OI neHSOusf
 By Mary Johnston, Author of "To Have
 and tc Hold" etc
 There arc few more interesting events in the field of literature than the new departures that are sometimes made by writers who have first won distinguished success in others fields. A notable instance of this will be found in Mary Johnson's fine poetic drama "The Goddess of Reason,' in which she shows herself as great a master of that difficult form as she was of the historical novel. Miss Johnson's power over romantic situations, with which all readers of her novels are familiar, is seen here at its best; and the rich poetry of background and sentiment which have always charmed the read CTS of ,sher work here takes on com plete poetic embodiment with the most striking results.
 The play which has all the interest of a novel, deals with the dramatic contrasts, the passionate action, the soaring ambitions and tragic falls of the French Revolution. The hero of the piece is a nobleman who takes as his ward a girl of noble birth who has been brought up by fisher people. her supposed parents. In the course of time, through various dramatic misun- derstandings. this girl leaves the con- vent where she has been placed by her protector to be educated and allies herself with the Terrorists as kind of special leader and divinity, the Goddess of Reason. At last 1t is dis covered that a romantic love has all along existed between the nobleman and his ward, and the piece comes to a dramatic climax of great power.
 This is but the bare outline of the plot of a play that in richness of his- toric background. in vividness of characterization. in strength of situa- ton, as well as in the charm of poetic atmosphere that is spread over the whole. is very remarkably. Although it is Miss Johnston's first venture in the field of poetic drama. which Is now being so actively cultivated once more, 1t will at once give her rank as one of the most distinguished, as well as most readable, poetic dramatists of the day.
 Materially. the volume is one of un- usual beauty and distinction.It has an emblematic title e-page. half-title. and head and tail pieces in the style of French printing of a century ago. It is bound in red boards, with French decorative stamping. Octave. s200 net. Postage, 15 cents Houghton Mih1ing & Co.,. Park Street, Boston; S5 Fifth Avenue, New York.

As in the case of Miss pavis's former book, every chapter leaves the reader more thor oughly interested in the plot, and the absorption does not diminish until the end of the book Is reached.

this IS one form Of arrest. Again, to be very tall
and slender is distinct disadvantage because the
body surface is greater in proportion to its weight
in tall than in short people and hence there is
greater loss Of heat and also because the blood
column which the heart must sustain and the
pressure under which il must work is greater. SO
that cardiac defects are more common with very
tall and slender people.
Perhaps still more important is the fact tha, the
very first sign of disease especially its hereditary
forms Is arrest Of growth, and this arrest occurs
often months before any overt symptoms. Hence.

Many Early Years Wasted

THOSE who were acquainted with this study
could not be surprised At the elaborate blue
book report just published by a special committee
OF the London school board. which shows that
children who enter school at FIVE. which is there
the legal age are less advanced At twelve than
those who enter at SIX; while those who enter at
seven and eight are most advanced of all when
twelve Is attained The moral of all this was
that the teacher must know something Of the
chllds mind as well as Of the studies taught, or
else there was Immeasurablc waste Of effort and
money and this 10 many teachers we'll as par
ents was a radically new idea
Cuuously, some ten lean years passed before
much new work was undertaken; but soon after
1900 memoirs and books, good, bad. and inditter-
ent, began to multiply. Most prominent among
these were TWO series of publications from Cal,f,r-
MIA. The first was by Miss lIIllicent Shnn, who
subjected her niece to the most exhaustive system
OF observations TO which any child, that of the
Berlin Professor Prcyer, Was ever put This new
method OF individual versus mass study, which
begins with birth rather than with school age, also

Captured Horse Thief.

After long chase, extending all over
north Missouri, for period of over
two months, Sheriff Minter has landed
the alleged horse thief who stole team
and bob sled from the hitch rack in
I.ineville. The sheriff received word
from st. Joseph Wednesday night that
the man had been apprehended there,
and he left on the early train Thursday
morning to get him.
The stolen team and bob sled belonged
to G. A. Carlson, a prominent farmer of
near Woodland. 1t was taken from the
hitch rack in Lineville late one evening
in January. The thief was tracked to
this county, and Sheriff Minter took
charge of the chase. He and Mr.. Carl
son followed the trail east for quite a
distance, then all trace was lost.
A few weeks later Sheriff Minter
started out on new trail. At Pattons-
burg, in Daviess county, the sled was
located. The man had traded it to a
farmer for buggy. 1t was learned
there that the thief was rather an aged
man and good description was Sc.
cured of him. Since that time Sheriff
Minter has kept close watch, which
resulted in his capture at st. Joseph
