R. G. Dun Coos weekly review
of Chicago trade says:
The advent Of seasonable weather
adds a cheering tone to business.
Trading defaults have fallen in both
number and liabilities to the smallest
since April, 1907. March settlements
are seen to be remarkably heavy and
the volume of solvent payments
through the banks establishes new
high record. Financial conditions be-
come decidedly favorable and ample
accumulation of funds offers encour-
agement to more extended enterprise In
commerce and Investment.
RAILROAD operations rapidly return
ITO the normal, while the returns indi-
cate increasing movements of finish
ed and raw products, general merchan-
disc. grain and plantation needs.
Outputs of the leading industries
continue rising, and the approach OF
spring work involves wider use OF
miscellaneous materials and machin-
cry and hands. Permits during Feb
ruary for new business structures and
additions were seventy in number and
$2,964,600 in value, and compare with
forty-seven in number and S95S,5O0 in
value in 1909.
Dealings in the principal wholesale
and retail branches Of general mer-
chandise make a favorable comparison
with this time last year.
Bank clearings, 1896, 010.197, exceed
those of the corresponding week in
1909 by 7.S per cent, and COM

MOTLEY SKETCHES.

A Motley. BY John Galsworthy. Pub
lished by Charles Scribners Sons. New
York.
These stories are reprints from Eng.
lish magazines and newspapers, and
they bear dates ranging up TO the pres
ent year since 1899, The contents are
not stories in the general sense, being
incomplete and mere sketches. giving
glimpses of life. Of homely doings, small
adventures. and illustrations of many
characteristic types. The ground COW
cred in the sketches ranges from
the sentimental to the sordid, from the
high to the low, Naturally women
figure very much in the stories, and
usually much to their advantage as
women, showing forth their fine quail
ties. their -faithfulness, their forgivine
nature, and their essential virtues. Mr.
Galsworthy is writer Of note, and
high expectations are always enter
tanned from any work that comes from
his pen. Those who entertain these ex
pectations will find them fully realized

Prohibition: It's Relation to Temperance,

Selections from the Writings Of Men
who have given Thought ard Study to
this Question rom the Standpoint of
both Theory and Practice. Compiled by
Joseph Debar, Cincinnati; OHIO.
This is a good work of reference on
the workings Of prohibition, but it must
be noted that it is by no means from
the prohibition side. 1t is also TO be
noted tHN there is good, sound sense in
it. as where the author says (page
1887 FtIn formulating liquor leOisla-
ton, we should be guided by two funda-
mental principles. The first is practi-
cability. The question to be determined
at the outset is, what kind of excise
law, under given conditions, with men
as they are in their individual and So
cial life, and with political standards
as they are. will effect the best results.
The trouble with much of our legisla-
tion is that it has ignored limitations
imposed by actual conditions.

EARLY DAYS ON THE PLAINS.

NV Army Life and the Fort Phil. Kear-
nev Massacre; With an Account OF the
Celebration Of Wyoming ppened.m BY by
Frances C Darlington. j. Il. Jippin-
colt Company, Publishers. Philadelphia.
This book is written "In memory
of the Eighteenth Regiment, United
states Infantry. it's Civil War service
from 1861 TO 1865 and its frontier In
dian service from 1865 to 1867"
The narrative begins with the close
of the War of the Rebellion. The
author was then the wife of Lleuten,
ant Grummond. who had been n colonel
in the volunteer service in the great
war. With him she proceeded to
the new post of Fort Phil, Kearney,
which was built under orders. pend.
ing negotiations with the Indians OF
that region for the opening Of road
through their country, A disregard of
their consent to the opening of this
road gave the hostile Indians their op-
portunity, and they inaugurated cam
paign, which led to the massacre OF inc
detachment under Captain Fettermann.
in which Lientenant Grummond was
also killed. The recital of those events
brings to public attention anew the
fact that Colonel Darlington was prac..
tically deserted with an insufficient
force in that exposed post, His sup
plies were scant. His ammunition was
deficient in quantity; The reinforce,
ments which he called for were denied
him. And though he was able, with
soldierly valor and constant watchful.
ness, to defend the Fort itself, and
hold it, he was not able to prevent the
massacre. But he was in no way to
blame for that massacre Fettermann,
in going where he did across the brow
of the ridge, disobeyed explicit orders,
and this disobedience led to the mas
sacre of the whole of his command. In
all this recital full justice is done to
Colonel Darlington, and though rs
widow Of Lieutenant Grummond, she
suffered Reenly, her narrative all
through is fair and just account of
the whole transaction. Her Journey
out from Fort Phil Kearney was
one Of great trial and suffering, but
was borne heroically by herself and the
others at that distressful time.
Later, as the wife of Colonel Car
rington, whose first wife had died In
the meantime, she participated III the
