A new book by Halle Erminie
Rives has been published by the
Bobbs Merrill company. 1t is called
The Kingdom of Silver Swords and
is a Japanese story. The author is
the wife of Post Wheeler, secretary to
the American embassy at Toxic and
her book has the approval of the Jap
anese themselves which is unusual.
Baron N. Maxine, who has served
as minister to Italy and Austria has
written the introduction to the book
In this he says:
What especially touched and con-
cerned me was, of course, the Jap
anese characters depicted, the motives
of these actors in their respective
roles, and other Japanese incidents
connected with the story. 1 am most
agreeably impressed with the remark
able insight into, and the just appre-
citation of, the Japanese spirit dis
played by the author.
while the story itself is her crea-
ton the local coloring, the moral at
mosphere called in to weave the
thread of the tale, are matters be-
longing to the domain of facts, and
constitute an amount of useful and
authentic information. Indeed, she
has taken unusual pains to be cor
rectly informed about the people of
the country and their customs, and in
this she has succeeded to a very emf
nent degree"

washington. Jan. 3.-The case OF
the government VS.. the Standard Oil
company. involving an effort on the
part of the government to have the
company dissolved as a trust under
the Sherman antitrust law was pre-
sented To the supreme court of the
Cnitd states In preliminary way
today on a motion to advance the
hearing. The motion was presented
by Solicitor General Bowers and was
concurred I'm by the opposition. They
asked to have March l designated as
the time for the hearing. The court
took the request under advisement.
Calling attention to the fact that
the case is one of the kind for the
expenditiug of which the act of
1908 provided, the attorney general
and solicitor general say "It involves
question of grave public interest af-
fecting Industrial combinations un-
der the act Of 1890" and, they add,
'fts early determination is very de-
sirable."

those who make an active and en-
ergetic canvass amongst their friends

that piles up the votes rapidly.
Every dollar paid in on new sub
scriptions or paid in advance by old
subscribers counts for 200 votes, just
double the number of votes for each

printing. The contest was inaugur-
ated primarily for the purpose OF OBJ
tanning new subscribers and to arouse
interest in an energetic subscrip-
ton campaign and for this reason
more votes are given for subscrip-
tions than for advertising or job
printing. While we are glad to re-
ceive orders for advertising and Job
printing through the efforts of the
contestants, it is to their interest and
10 ours that they concentrate their
efforts on obtaining subscriptions, and
to encourage them to put forth re-
newed efforts we make the following
extraordinary liberal offers. To

pays for One Hundred GOO new
subscribers to the Watchman and
Southron on OF before February 1st
