A gripping story having to do
with the most vital forces that
affect the human, being; a thrill
ing narrative Of the combat Of
an American against the worn,
eaten aristocracy of the old
world las such may the novel
Half a Chance" be briefly de-
scribed. The brilliantly drawn
characters, typical Of London,
range from Joce1yn Wray, the
beautiful young debutante, sought
and worshiped by a score of
noblemen, to Tom Rogers. the
british filcher, highwayn1an and
debased n1agsman. A feature Of
the story is the influence that
can be eeerted on her ascot
ates of low and high degree by
the sweetness, simplicity and
purity of a little girl. She MAS
confident that there was some
thing good in a man, no matter
how low he might have sunk. She
set out to prove it. The manner
of her e1,deavor and the events
associated with it 60 to make the
story one Of rare fascination.
And the vivid pen picture Of the
struggle OF a grear human spirit
to emerge from the abyssn,al
depths of wrong living and deg
radiation will long be imprinted
on the memory of the reader.

three hearty cheers were given for
Mr. Derby, and then the inspection
ofthe farm was begun. First. there
was a seven-acre field of corn Guilt
waited according to the instructions
OF the Government agent, Mr.. Phelps
A poor, old field that would not yield
profitable crops, is now producing 65
TO 70 bushels of corn to the acre
through the aid of the manure drop
ped in the feeding of cattle on it last
winter
Second, a bunch of steers, which
are being fed cottonseed cake while
on grass pasture, was inspected. This
bunch of steers, now worth about 5
cents pound live weight, and yield
ing good profit on their feeding,
was a pleasing contrast to the half
starved scrubs to be found on the
free range or in many pastures.
Third, number of cattle were run
through the dipping vat to show its
simplicity and the cattle were shown
to be free of ticks, in proof of the eff
ficiency of the arsenic dip
Fourth, the filling Of the silo was
demonstrated by running some corn
through the cutter and depositing it
up over the top of a 35-foot silo with
the blower attachment.
This completed the day Of pleas
ure and instruction and then we were
off TO the train. four miles away. A
hundred or more, all provided with
conveyances by the foresight and
liberality of Mr.. Derby, who was not
too busy to insist on driving the
writer to the station, to give him
and the other guests parting God
speed
There is only one Frank Derby,
but what a glorious thing it is that
there is n man with his enterprise,
energy and ability to do things, who
is willing to give so literally Of his
time and money for the public well
fare.
