The reason of the continued success Of
so many women novelists. according to a
writer in the Bystander. is to be found
in their superior knowledge of and more
convincing analysis of their own sex.
Anne Crivener, the heroine of Mrs. Alice
PERKINS, story ''Idolatry," is quoted as an
example of woman's power in this parti-
cuar: ''She is selfish, ambitious. heart
ignorant-in fact. natural woman. The
truest incident in the story is the con-
tinuance of her soldier fiance's devotion
after she has merciessly exposed him to
the pettiness, the insincerity of her dis
position. OF course, he loved her still.
Give the devil pretty face and dress him
in petticoats and he will win stancher
lovers than any fashionable st. Agnes.
Good women have lovers, but how rarely
they keep Them

Mary E. Walters pleasing story, "a
Year Out of Life" tells of an episode in
the life of an American girl. She cores
ponds with a German author, and from
the correspondence they fall in love with
each other. When they meet the man is
quite ready for matrimony, but the girl,
who is not impulsive, decides to search
her heart a little. The search completed,
she decides that she really wants the
man; but she finds, alas. that it is too
late; the mean thing has gone and en-
gagged himself to someone else.-New

Some of the writings of the late Dr.
Edward Everett Hale will doubtless be
published among the classics of the Eng
lish language, and classed among the best
productions of American literature DR..
Hale's contributions to our literature
have been in some cases conspicuous He
has been, as everybody knows, a man of
great and varied activity, within and
without literature. When the works of a
contemporaneous writer receive embodi-
ment in definite edition, certain stamp
of classicalty seems to be set upon him
so far, at least, as the word classical
can be applied to literature that is cur
rent. DR.. Hale attained this distinction
in his ripe old age for uniform library
edition of his works in 10 volumes, is
sued several years ago by his Boston
publishers, Little. Brown & Co., under
his own supervision, with new prefaces in
which DR.. Hale expressed himself in his
best vein of genial reminiscence. This
library edition contains practically all of
his best-known books, including his ia

The Virginia Commercial Club

the right direction and one that will
meet with hearty co. operation from
this end of the line.

now piled up and burned in the
process of clearing. With a railroad
to Virginia all these products could
be marketed at handsome profit
and very soon the Bear River dis
trict, would build up into one of the
richest farming districts in the
state.
A ten mile extension on the Can

az much to Virginia az it does to
tie Bear River settlement. 1t would
bring to their very door the pro.

and this would be a source of much

There are over 4OO families here
now and were the country tapped by
railroad the population would
rapidly increase to six or seven
hundred families. Three years after
a railroad reaches us the Bear River
district will supply the entire range
with nearly everything they need in
farm products. The first range town
that taps this section with a rail.
road will add this nice little lump
to it's assets.-Bear River Journal.
