posed to be written to a school friend. Margaret
 These letters tell, with a seeming un- consciousness as to whther their prog ress leads, of a wife's struggle to hold the wavering love of her husband, the while she herself is learning to know and to love true worth in another and strong CT man.
 A book not to be missed by those who care to find big problems-of the heart finely and delicately deat with.
 The author of this interesting novel; cite was born and brought up in Lan- caster. Pa, where her father. the Rev. Cornelius c. Reimensnyder, was pastor of the Lutheran church. She studied at Swarthmore college and at Radcliffe, Cambridge, teaching English for three years at the Bishop Hopkins Hall, an Episcopal school for girls. She was mar red in 1899 to Prof. F. c.

 ''Ailsa Page" by Robert W. Cham
 bers CD. Appleton & Co.,, New York),
 $1.50. fHst
 The reading of "Ailsa Page" informs how nearly MT. Chambers missed being the great novelist that he is. At aiyen- ture, this reads as if 1t were an effort out of MT Chambers extreme youth. An early effort brought out after several best sellers have opened way, in which cleared road even the plot that Is halt and lame may safely run.
 None but a youthful writer in his first frenzies ever invented a widow like Ailsa Paige, more an ingenue than any debu- tante, or a youthful hero more diabolical and considered dangerous" than any ancient roue.
 About midway the book readers are in- formed that the hero's mother, long thought dead, may De brought to life to solve the mystery of the heros unwilling ness to wed the widow, or even to say why he will not There are the old de- vices of the mothers face seen in a mir TOT, seen bending over the dreamer. glimpsed under the white head dress of a Sister of Charity. But all these de- vices lead to naught, the long lost mother never returns. The mystery, ever rather nebulous, drifts away without actual solving-the hero without more heroics, consents to wed the widow whom he has

 "A Woman With Purpose by Anna | Chapin Ray. G1ittle. Brown & Co.,. Bos-
 tom. $125
 All the world loves a lover, may be paraphrased-all the world loves a novel,
 provided it be a good one, and "A Woman With Purpose is a most readable novel, interesting in plot and rapid in action. Some parts of the book strike false
 note, or suggest an appeal to the gallery. But these plays to the gallery are not | too much in evidence. The studied phrase, the seeking after the effect of words rather than their power to tell story
 may be noted, but no author must be | judged by his or her weakest lines. | Dorcas, the woman with the purpose, refuses an offer of marriage from q man
 much her senior, soon after leaving col | lege, that she may makel trial of her | strength in New York as a writer. | The first part of the book is concerned with her struggle and poverty, her ad- diction to the cocaine habit, to which habit she was brought by too constant | reliance on a tonic prescribed by an un- lscrupulous physician, and by her redemp- | ton from this pernicious habit 1 Her work under the stimulous of the drug proves brilliant and is eagerly &C., cepted by the publishers.
 | Dorcas becomes aware of her danger from this possession of a drug demon; she summons all her will power and
 conquers the dependence upon the drug that has dominated her. Her work inn
 nedately loses it's briliancy. Is dubbed
 fa.t by the critics, and is refused by the publishers
 The old lover appears promptly and opportunely, marries Dorcas and trans
 ports her to life of luxury. This apt
 good fortune might be deemed an eX- travagance, but that it fits well with the plot and provides the heroine with so
 good field for her exercise of her abil- ites and hard-earned experiences In her new life she aims for an har-
 mcnous and all around development of
 her own nature. She also undertakes,
 and with success. to help man, broth er-in-law to her husband, to restrain and conquer certain lawless tendencies and impulses that beset him.

CLARK GETS GAVEL
TO SILENCE HOUSE
Little Business Marks Third
Days Session.

Speaker Champ Clark will rule the
House hereafter with a big new gave
made of burr oak, which comes from the
apron log of an ancient haunted mill In
Pike County. Mo. The gavel was pre-
sented to Mr.. Clark at the opening OF
the House session yesterday.
The House transacted practically nc
business yesterday except to see Mr.
Clark accept the new gavel and put aside
the old one. AS Minority Leader Mann
did not have the committee assignments
of the Republicans ready, Mr.. Under
wood, the Democratic floor leader. sug-
sested an adjournment until Monday
next, and it was taken.
Mr.. Sherley attempted to get before the
House a resolution to appoint a joint
committee to revise the laws of the
United States, but objection was made
and the resolution goes over.
Representative Lloyd, of Missouri, pre-
sented the Missouri gavel TO Speaker
Clark. On one face it bears the inscrip-
ton: Made from the apron log Of the
first mill built north of tine Missouri

WILL CAUCUS ON
MINORITY LEADER
Senator Martin, of Virginia,
Likely to Be Chosen.
BRYAN IS AGAINST HIM
Many Senators Critfcise the Appear
ance of the Former Presidential
Antagonisms Said to Play Prom
inent Part In Fight.

The Democratic minority of the Senate
will hold a caucus this afternoon to
elect their leader upon the floor. Sena-
tor Martin, of Virginia, has majority
of the votes, and there is every reason
to believe that he will be elected. The
choice wilH fall upon him by reason
of his length of service, his ability as
an organizer, and his prominence in
Democratic councils. He has been a
consistent advocate of election of United
States Senators by the people, demon
strating his faith in this proposition by
canvassing his State for his own re-
election, and has also advocated down.
| ward revision Of the tariff.
Said to be Too Conservative.
The Democratic insurgents in the Sem
ate oppose him, however, and yesterday
fifteen of these Senators met and de-
clared that they would not support him
by their votes. The opposition includes
all of the new Senators except O'Gorman,
of New York; MARITIME, of New Jersey,
and Pomerene, of Ohio. The opposition
IS based upon the charge that Senator
Martin is too conservative, and incl
dentally is directed against Senator Bal
ley. of Texas, who has espoused Senator
Martins cause
Many Democrats not directly interested
in the factional fight and anxious for
harmony have suggested that in view Of
the admitted ma jority in favor of Sena-
tor Martin, that he should be given the
unanimous Endorsement The insurgent
element In the Senate minority will not
cuncede this. and declare that they will
emphasize the fact that Senator Martin
is a conservative or reactonary force
by putting on record a protest against
his election as leader.
Bryan in the Fight.
An interesting and unusual feature Of
the situation is that Mr. Bryan has re-
turned to Washington and was yesterday
actively engaged in endeavoring to pre-
vent Senator Martins election While it
is true that Mr.. Martin has in the past
opposed many of Mr.. Bryan's more ex-
treme theories, the fact that Mr.. Bryan
has injected himself into the contest has
elected considerable criticism from Sen
ators, who say that they are able to de-
eide the question of minority leadership
without interference from
the outside. They do not believe that
Mr. Bryan or any one eESe should at
tempt to dictate to them the course that
they should pursue
They say that MIR. Bailey's hostility TO
Mr.. Bryan has been a matter of long
and that il is natural for Mr..
Bryan to oppose any candidate whom
Mr.. Bailey favors, but they insist that
heSe personal antagonisms should not |
be displayed at this time, when the |
Democrats in the House have acted with |
and when their fellow-Demo- |
rats in the Senate would like to make a |
similar exhibition of party solidity

KIDNEY DISEASE.

The symptoms of kidney trouble so I'M

doubt. Sick kidneys excrete thick cloudy,
offensive urine, full of sediment irregular of

The back aches constantly, headaches and dizzy
spells may occur and the victim is often weigh
ed down by feeling of languor and fatigue.
Neglect these warnings and there is danger of
