SOME LATE BOOKS AND MAGAZINES

of morality is nothing short of appall-
ing.
The book is intensely human, and is
written with such fiery directness of
purpose as to make it powerfully APP
peal even to those who feel no especial
interest in the questions which it
raises.
A Woman at Bay. BY signora AL
eramo. New York: G.. p. Putnam's
Sons.
1.-THE chilly autumn nights called ont
on him deeper richer robe of fur, and
other powers, less comprehended, add
ed gloss and color, intensified each day,
darker and glossier, till every tinge of
red and gray was gone. And those who
observe such things hight have asked,
is not this a foresadowing of beauty
yet to come? Maybe this diverse cub
is predestined a silver foxn"
In this manner Mr. Ernest Thomp-
son Seton describes the change that
came over Domino Reynard of Gold
urtown," the "hero" of this new serial
of the same title, the first issue of
which appears in the December issue of
the Century Magazine. The underlying
motif of this fiction story is the mo
nogamous tendency of the better class
of fox" Continuing the description of
the difference between a silver and a
red fox, we quote Mr.. Seton in part:
only those wise in the woodlore Of
the north can fully know the magic in
the name The silver fox is not of
different kind, but a glorified freak of
the red race. His parents may have
been the commonest of red foxes, yet
nature in eXtravagan mood may have
showered all her gifts on this favored
one of the offspring, and not only clad
him in marvellous coat, but gifted
him with speed and wind and brains
above his kind to guard his perilous
wealth. And need he has of all such
power, for this exquisite robe is so
mellow rich, so wonderful in style,
with its glossy black and delicate
frosting, that it is the most desirable,
the most precious of all furs, worth
many times its weight in gold the
noblest peltry known to man. It is
the proper robe of kings, the appenage
of great imperial thrones today, as was
the Tyrian purple in the days of Rome.
This is indeed the hunters highest
prize, but so guarded by the cunning
brain and the wind and limb of the
beast himself that it is through rare
good luck more than hunter skill that
a few of these fur jewels are taken
each year in the woods.
There are degrees of rank among
these patricians. They range in quail
ity even as diamonds range, and the
hunters have jargon of their own to
express all shades between the cross
and the finest silver black.

NEW YORK RANSACKED
FOR CATHEDRAL LOOT
Police Send Out Pawn List to Locate
Property Stolen from Catholic
Church in Limoges,
France

NEW YORK, Nov. 26.-New York city
is being ransacked for the loot taken
from the ancient cathedral of st.
Etienne, Limoges, France, last May.
Secret information in possession Of the
French authorities has led them to the
conclusion that the articles stolen from
the cathedral were shipped to the
United States, and that probably they
have been concealed in New York city
until such time as the excitement in
cident to the affair subsidies and the
articles can be marketed.
In communicating with the United
States authorities the French officials
sent list of the stolen articles to Ma
jor Sylvester, superintendent of police
of Washington, D. c., in his capacity
as head of the national Organization of
police chiefs. From Washington the
matter was passed on to the New York
police, and copies of the list have been
sent to police departments in cities of
considerable size.
The list in the hands of the New
York police is known as pawn list No.
1884," Importers, buyers for art gal
leries and every probable destination
for articles of the character stolen are
being kept in touch with in the hope
that some of the articles may be Of
fered for sale or pawn. So far there
is said to be no tangible clew to the
thieves or the present hiding place for
the booty.
TIL stolen objects are exceedingly val
liable on account of their antiquity and
associations and because of their in
trinsic worth. The first seven articles
on the list are paintings, most of them
on enamel plates, and depicting re-
ligious subjects. The largest of these
plates is 19x19 inches. There are eleven
of these plates. Among other articles
are:
Ever in silver gilt with plate bearing
the words: Amman suam dat pho OWL?
Candelstick with same coat of arms
as the ever.
Censor measuring 50x55 inches.
Two pyx, or ciboriums, 1Sx2O inches
in the center.
Large church vessel, 41x19 inches,
bearing medallions with religious
scenes. Also two smaller church YES
sells.
Two silver chalices, 27x12 inches
chalice of gilded silver with cups, and
three other chalices
Pair of silver vases.
Two canon's crosses and miScellane-
Gus articles of lesser value.
Maurice Leon, counsel for the French
consulate in New York city, is acting
as local agent for the French authori-
ties in the activities of the New York
police.
Most of the objects stolen are hun
dreds of years old, some of them dating
from the eleventh Gentry.

BULLET PlERCES
HUNTERS BRAIN
Death May Have Been an Accident
or cowardly Murder - Victim
Not Known to Have
Enemies
[By Associated Press.l

10y ASSOCldleu IEeSs.J
EUREKA, Nov. 26.-Word was re-
ceived here tonight of what may have
been a cowardly murder or accident, as
the result of which Bert Porter, 81
years old blacksmith at Mckinley
vile, lost his life this afternoon while
duck hunting on a lagoon a mile and q
half from his home.
William Pardon, Walter Liscom and
Mr.. and Mrs Rogers of Arcata, while
rowing on the lagoon, saw Porter sit
ting on the bank, shotgun in hand
Suddenly they heard the report of a
gun and saw Porter fall PROSTATE. Be-
lieving he had accidentally shot him
self they went to him at once and
found him dead, his own gun undis-
charged.
Investigation showed Porter had been
shot with a rifle, a 1920 bullet having
pierced his brain. No person with a
rifle was found, although several duck
hunters in the vicinity started at once
and spread the news among all persons
in the vicinity.
Porter's family and friends know of
no enemies. Porter had lived for
twenty-five years in Mc<inleyville and
was very popular.

We are bullish on the Yerington
camp and are inclined to be bull
ish on Nevada Douglas, although
we are frank to say that we know
com paratively little about the con-
dition of the company's treasury
and the prospect for early profits
from operations. We believe that
Yeiington is one of the coming
copper camps of the country, how
ever. We are advised that rail-
road is to be built into the camp
this coming year, and that smelt-
ing facilities to be supplied will
make a number of the properties
of the camp good profit earners.

WILL TRY TO MOVE
The State
PRISON

There is ronsi lerable talk among those
who claim to be posted, OF an approp
ration TO be asked for il a sum sufficient
for he purchase Of the Stewart institute
and move the prison to that place 1t is
claimed to be a more ideal situation,
having several hundred acres of land
under cultivation with good water sup
PLY and could be made partially self
supporting. 1t is claimed that several
of the buildings there could be used to
advantage and that the stone for the
walls could be taken out at the present
Mison site and shipped to the Stewart
HAST tute at a nominal cost. To do much
more building at the present. prison will
mean large amount of excavation and
an expense that would in great meas
ure aid in the refitting of the Indian
schools
Attorney General Stoddard, when
asked in regard to the question stated
that he was not prepared to make any
statements regarding the matter in an
official capacity. Yes, the matter has
been brought to my attention by several
who are interested in prison affairs and
have given it some thought The
prison where it is now is many years be-
hind the times and while we have done
the best we could to bring it TO perfect
itaf -
takes time and money to accomplish inn
provements. We have planned several
in the way of undermining but cannot
at this time tell them all to YOU You
can say, however that We are intending
making rule to have special days for
visitors. AS it is now visitors are well
come at all times within reason and this
rule is detrimental TO the best interests
of the prison and source of trouble to
the management.
The prison is costing about 500, 900
a year and this coming year will need
twice the amount. The prison will have
to be, enlarged, and that at once, as We
are already crowded Tor room In re-
gard to the Stewart Institute it would
be;a good thing for the State to own and
then the required change could be made
at once. A separate house could he
made and furnished for a House OF Cor
rection and the inmates thereof could
be kept away from the older and more
hariened ones. II could be under the
sauemapagement and would not be as
the state as if place of
thai l6aT ybould be built and managed
ind epeudSitly.
Z Thesduestion Of prison reform will
he brought before the legis-
lature and an appropriation will be asked
for to enlarge the prison The present
prison site is not an ideal one and docs
not compare with that Of the Stewart
Institute The money that will have to
be expended in refttne the present
prison would go good way toward
building a modern peniJentiary at the
and the question is one fully
worth considering -" Carson News.
