The Land of Long Ago, by Eliza Cal
vert Hall, author of Aunt Jane of Ken
lucky" illustrated by G. Patrick Nelson
and Beulah Strong; cloth: Price $3.50:
Boston: Little, Brown & Company.
Few books have struck more respon-
sive chord than aunt Jane of Ken
tucky.' A book therefore in which this
dear old lady reappears is sure of warm
welcome Aunt Jane is indeed the salt
of the earth. with her sound homespun
philosophy, her warm sympathies, her
sweet serenity, and her absolute sincerity
of character. The reader can but admire
her, and to feel a peculiar pleasure in the
fact that he is privileged to know her.
''The Land of Long Ago." is indeed a de-
lightful volume with word pictures of
rural life in the famous Blue Grass Coun-
try and it's strong undercurrent of kind
ly sentiment and humor. Aunt Jane of
Kentucky is now in it's 14th edition, and
THE Land of Long Ago" bids fair to be
fully as popular.

WHENCE BIBLES COME
 FOR AUTHORIZATIONS
There Is No Special Volume For the Purpose-lt Is Matter Left Large ly to the President Himself.

| Washington, D. C., Feb 10-(Spe-
 cial Correspondence of The Republi-
 can .)-That the incoming president
 a Bible and that the chief justice oi
 the United States administers the
 oath is generally known, but where
 the Bible comes from is a fact con-
 cerning which the public knows much
 less. The one who is able to give
 more information on this subject than any other is James H. McKenney clerk of the supreme court, who is the man who always has the sacred book at the right place at the right | time, and in whose hands, strange to | say, it always so opens that the au-
 gust parsonage who is about to pledge his fidelity to the constitution and the best interests of the people of
 the United States, finds his palm resting upon some passage which is
 an augury of good for all concerned. The purchase of the book is one of the ''perquisites" of the clerk.
 No" said Mir McKenney in re- sponse to a question; mo. we do not
 use our century old Bible for the swearing in of presidents. but it often happens that the clerk supplies a new book for the occasion. It is the intention that the man who takes the oath of office should have the volume as a keepsake, and it gen. orally transpires that his family, if not himself, set much store by it. Not always, however, nor even in a majority of cases, are we called upon to supply new book. for it frequently happensl that the presi- dent or some member of his family is the owner of some treasured vol ume of the scriptures, which it is desired that he should use upon this sacred and important occasion.
 This was the case when Mir Cleveland was inaugurated. He was the owner of a small Bible, not longer than your hand. and which apparently had seen much usage His mother had presented it to him when he was boy, and he had treasured it ever since. When he was consulted about taking the oath, when first inaug- urated as president, he stated that he desired his mothers present should be used for this purpose. When the oath was administered to him at the beginning of his second administra- ton, the same volume, which on this occasion had been hunted out by Mrs. Cleveland, was again brought for ward and presented as the one upon which her husband should make his pledges.
 Quite in contrast with this little volume was the one used in admin istering the oath to Mir. Mckinley. The negro bishops joined together and presented to MT. Mckinley one of the biggest books have ever seen. It was an extraordinary large family

RALPH AND RAMONA
 WHILE IN PHOENIX
CHIEF ACTORS IN REAL LIFE RO- ROMANCE HERE FOR A
 SINGLE DAY.
They Will Appear for Concert En-
 gagement at EIks' Theater, Feb. 1s

MT and Mrs. Ralph Wylie, who were
 married in Kingman, January 26, after
 a courtship that, for brevity and pure
 romance, can only be paralleled 1T
 some recent works of fiction by writ l CTS of the most imaginative school, re- l turned to Phoenix yesterday on visit Of single day. They left on the early 1 train for Prescott this morning, where | they will begin the first engagement of a series of concerts.
 They spent the day visiting among
 friends, and in the evening held an in formal musicale at the studio of w. E Rollins, Mrs. Wylie's father. MT. Rol- lins now has the same capacious studio he occupied last year in the O'Neill
 building. The walls of the studio are hung with the paintings made by MT Rollins last summer at Taos, and over in one corner, on an easel, is his last large picture completed within the past few days, the Ruins of Casa Grande," which will take its place with the Grand Canyon" perhaps the best known of his works.
 In this studio, with its paintings and Indian decorations, undoubtedly the only studio in Arizona where one might forget himself and think for a moment he was back in Little Old New York, Mrs. Wylie sang and Ralph Wylie played on his violin. while Ho- mer Grunn accompanied on the piano.
 There is probably no one in the ter ritory today whose aspirations for the grand opera stage are laid on such sure foundations as Mrs. Wylie's. She has returned from her course at the Boston conservative with the trained voice of an opera singer. While it would be presumptious for one to com pare her with the opera stars of today, it is the opinion of one who has known several of them in the period of their obscurity, that Mrs. Wylie. if she con- tinues in the course laid out, will rank eventually with the best of them.
 At last nights musicale she sang one of Mrs. Carrie Jacobs-Bond's songs. Just A-Wearyin'- for You" When Mrs. Bond sang it, it was a sort of personal appeal-the words might al- most have been spoken. It wasn't ex- actly music. but it did carry truth with it. When Mrs. Wylie sang the same song-well. it was an appeal in a rich mezzo soprano voice with all of the heart stirring qualities "that sympa- thetic spirit can give it-and it made you feel around to see whether you had forgotten your handkerchief
 Perhaps one of the richest. low toned bits of harmony that Mir. Wylie drew from his violin was an aria on the G string. accompanied by MT. Grunn. It was only one of several that he played. With the riano accompani- ment it was one of those selections that lifts one above the hum-drum of life and transports him to the world of ideality where it is such a joy to live even through the brief space of an aria on the G string.
 MT. and Mrs. Wylie will include Phoenix in their list of concert en- agreements. They appear but three times in the territory and leave today for Prescott, where their first engage ment will be on the 17th. They will be heard at the Elks' theater next Fri day, February 19.

I remember very well that I was quite Jagged out from carrying it to the senate cham Der and from that chamber to the platform in front of the capitol. Af- ter the Bible had been used for this purpose I turned it over to the pres ident, but, notwithstanding he had already received it, the donors after wards called at the White House and presented it with formal speeches, to which Mir.

 President Roosevelt was sworn in on a Bible which had been used for the same purpose when he was in augurated governor of New York. We had bought a Bible for his in- auguration when we received word from Mrs. Roosevelt that she pre- ferred the use of their own volume, and 1t was accordingly substituted.
 We still have on hand the Bible bought for that occasion, but we shall not use it for Mir Taft Un- less he furnishes a book himself, we VIII get new one anu WILL http lIlt Roosevelt Bible on hand for emer- gencies, such for instance as oc- cured when Arthur took the oath of office in this city. He had been sworn in New York, but it was sud- denly decided that it would be safer to again administer the oath in Wash ington. Accordingly Chief Justice Waite and about twenty other peo- pie of prominence were called very suddenly together in the vice presi- dents room at the capitol I had to send up town for a book, and had but a few minutes in which to exc cute the commission. I succeeded, however, in getting the book in time for the ceremony and was one of the few present when Mir. Garfield's sue cessor was initiated into his high of flee
 We now make it a point to have an available book on hand at all times, and will probably keep the Roosevelt Bible for that purpose"

RIGHT OF IMMUNITY
 UNDER DISCUSSION
It Interrupts the Taking of Testimony in the Coffey Case.

San Francisco, Cal, Feb. 15.-The trial of former Supervisor W. w. Cof- ye, accused of accepting a bribe of s4,000 to vote for a trolley franchise for the United Railroads, was resumed today After the Identification of the tags of the United Railroads in the Wells. Fargo & Company bank, and a statement by Ernest F. Nelson, clerk in the treasurer's office of the United Railroads, that at no time has there been s50000 in the safe to the credit of Tlrey l.. Ford, Miss l.. M. Condon, a stenographer, took the stand with her shorthand notes in the grand Jury be- fore which Schmidt and the supervis- Ors testified.
 Attorney Carroll Cook interposed an objection on the part of the defense to the reading of the notes, on the ground that COffey had testified under a promise of immunity. The objection was overruled and then Cook objected declaring that Miss Condon had never been examined as to her quail fications as a stenographer. Hoff Cook, for the prosecution, said the de- fense was at liberty to examine the witness, who was allowed to read a statement of Assistant District Attor- ney Heney to Coffey in the grand jury room that he need not testify to any thing that might incriminate him, and that whatever he said must be free and voluntary.
 To this the defense objected, de- clarinC that despite this statement immunity was understood. Assistant District Attorney Hoff Cook replied that the record did not say so, and that whatever the mental reservation Coffey had was not the question at issue. Carol Cook objected to a fur ther reading from the notes and he and Attorney Terrell presented au- thorities to sustain the defense of i'm munity. Without the arguments being concluded the case went over.

 Makes 1t Stand "Hon 'Er H'ear."

A new Oldsmobile, which has sjust arrived at the Southwestern garage, was demonstrated" to a reporter yes terday by Hughie Hughes, the Eng lishman who holds many world track records.
 Before starting out MT Hughes dropped a handkerchief in the center of Washington street and said. Now watch me myke her stand on 'eT hear" Hughes drove the car in a circle around the handkerchief and used only half of the street to do it in Then, when the reporter got dizzy, he turned and drove around it in the reverse direction.

 Hughes then drove up Center street and made the car waltz" like a ship in a storm. By manipulating the wheel the car reeled from one side of the road to the other in a clumsy attempt to keep time to the strains of 'The Blue Danube" which one of the pas sengers played on mouth organ.
 On the return trip several automo- piles were challenged with Q 'honk- honk," but no one seemed willing to furnish Hughes with a chance for a brush back to town. On the way back but one stop was made. and that was to pick up some "h's" that had been dropped on the way out
