That people spent $12,00O,000 in
railroad fares to participate in a

sented as an argument against this

it up, too. His peeve is not well
taken. Usually railroads have only
scenery to offer as an inducement
for travel, and not even 3 per cent

scenery.

REVIEWS OF BOOKS

1t is powerful story, which points
finger of warning more effectually than
any preaching could do and which draws
the uncrring lesson that those who play
must pay in agony of spirit, and that
their transgression is visited even more
intensely upon others than themselves.
No other way of impartng this lesson
could be half so vivid as this

DOUGLAS. Nov S.-(special)--
 The complaint filed against Mrs. Ida Kentner. alleging abduction of her child has been dismissed and the con troversy between the parents over the child, who has Just been released from the Sisters Hospital after an at tack of typhoid fever, is settled out of court. Mrs. Kentner left for Fl Paso last night and the girl will be taken away from here by David Benshimol. attorney for Mir. Kentner, says the Douglas International.
 By the terms of the civorce decree which Mr. Kentner obtained from his wife the daughter is given to his GUS tody, and this decree is in no wise vacated. The parties are agreed that in view of all the publicity the di- vorce and subsequent troubles of the parents have had that it is better for the young girl to be removed from Douglas, and with this end in view she will be taken to some convent or school in Fl Paso or vicinity, and it has been further agreed between the parents that both may have access to visit their daughter, but that the mother shall not remove the child from where it shall be decided to place her.
