1 the hero was real flesh and blood, with a unioue personality, who seemed to bear a charmed life and was remark ably successful in his daring escapades.
 Here are some of the chapter headings: "Filibustering for the Cubans, Tn League With the Spanish Pretender,' "Lawless Ls.in America "Preying on Pirates" "The Beautiful White Devil" "A Death Duel With a Pirate King, Stealing British Ship, "A Land of Mystery and Murder Adventures on the Nile" Revolution as a Fine Art, At War With Castro" From the fore going titles 1t is easy to surmise what a thrilling story has been told by MT Smith In "The War Maker.''
 Perhaps the most interesting part of the book deals with Captain Boynton's adventures with his partner, Norton, in the China sea. Purchasing a fleet of small but well armed vessels, these two adyenturers made systematic war on the desperate "Chinkies" of that region, routing them from their islsnd fastnesses and waging bloody hand-to-hand combats. Many were the junks they sent to the bottom and many a biack-hearted yellow man lost his life before they tired of the sport, after having got rich at 1t. This was not hard to do, for every time they cleaned out a nest of pirates they appro- priated all the stolen plunder. It was while engaged in these stirring under takings that Captain Boynton met the famous Beautiful White Devil" fell in love with her, had his passion reciprocal ed and was carried by her to her strong fhold. She afterward returned to Eng land to sue for pardon, but died prema- 1 turely, while planning to marry Captain Boynton.
 In the revolutionary hotbeds of Central and South America Captain Boynton fourished. and his experiences in that part of the world make most interesting reading. For many years he was the confidential adviser of President Guz- man of Venezuela where later on he l got into difficulties with Castro and re- l turned to New York to end his days in peace. His voyage of discovery up the l Orinoco river his famous exploit of stealing a British ship for revenge, the fiasco he made of a conspiracy in Egypt because he though too much about pair of wonderful eyes, his indifferent luck in Hayti and bewiledring maze of other adventure which carried him to many parts of the world are related Tn graphic style in 'tThe War Maker" Such book comes as a revelation, showing that in comparatiyel modern times it Is pos sible for man to outdo fiction in real life, for practically all of Captain Boyn- tons exploits took place after the Civil war. Tn WHICH ne got HIS hrst edsee or adventure.
 Captain Boynton died only a short time ago in New York city. and the newspa- pers devoted much space to his career, but to fully appreciate his rare person. aity it is necessary to read 'The War Maker" in which his adventures are vividly described. Captain Boynton was the original for Richard Harding Davis "A Soldier of Fortune" and his inamora- ta of the China Sea was used as the he- roine of novel by Guy Boothby, the English writer, entitled "The Beautiful White Devil.

"HERE are men who pass unnoticed
 along our crowded city streets, yet
 x their lives teem with adventure, and if their stories were known great amaze would seize upon good folk at hear ing of such strange exploits.
 Not long ago there died in New York city at ripe age a man whose life story equals the widest imagining of fiction writers and there are many, many pas sages in his life so extraordinary that they seem rather the fantasies of super heated brain than the plain, unadorned truth. In fact, some of the most romantic happenings in his career are not known, because he was reticent and particularly in regard to his love affairs. which were man, whose best known name was Capt. George B. Boynton, thirsted for adventure with longing that he secured the world to graitfy and the fact that he succeeded in having plenty of exciting experiences is attested by the known facts of his name is not known and he frequently carried out some of his nose desperate adventures under an assumed name, but wherever soldiers of fortune were ac- customed to- go and wherever less ve s turesome mortals would gather together
 spirits the fame and daring of Captain
 Boynton were known. He was a blockade runner a filibuster par excellence, and
 always in the thick of fight if it were
 possible for him to get there. He bat
 tied with Chinese pirates hand to hand in the China Sea, while the decks ran rivers of blood, he wooed and won a fabulously beautiful girl who was also waging war against the pirates, in part fulfllment of a VOW made to her dead father, he was the confidential man of presidents of re- publcs, royalty and every known type of onspirator. He scented adventure from afar, as the vulture does carrion, and aided by the wealth which he amassed and spent with reckless prodigality, he the trail of romance and adven- ture to the most out of the way places in the world. He was also an explorer and inventor. In his turbulent career he played many parts.
 Owing to his extreme retcence the exploits of Captain Boynton bade fair to become only a tangle of legends and smoking room yarns, but shortly before his death a New York newspaper man. Horace Smith, persuaded Captain Boyn- ton to let him use some of the more sa- lient details of his life in book. The result was a i-autobiographical vol ume entitled "The War Maker" recently issued from the presses of A. c. McClurg & Co.,, Chicago. MT. Smith has acquitted himself well in compiling this book. There are over 400 pages of the most faseinat- ing and absorbing adventure, of which

But the reasonableness of the exercise must never be forgotten.

 Preferably man should take his physical exercise as play. A pleasant swim of IS or 20 minutes duration, a swift stroll with a friend or two over five or six miles, lively game or two of squash or tennis or handbail-any one of these will do man more good than hours of monot- onous mauling a punchng-bag or push ing dumb-bels.

If the people of the Northwest
oppose the Candian reciprocity truly

the defeat of that measure they can
never again consistently demand a
tariff revision that will relieve them

trusts through favorable tariff sched-
ules. We are not prepared TO admit
the tariff 4 Oh grain is Of benefit 10 the
farmer except on rare occasions. But
if the tariff on farm produce was all
that the advocates claim for it, by
what right can the farmer demand
protection on his products, thus in.
creasing the cost of living to the con
sumer, and at the same time demand
cheaper manufactured articles pro.
duced by other fellow? To secure a
tariff reform beginning must be
made somewhere, and it might as
well be on farm products as anything
else. Remove the tariff from farm
products and it will no longer be
possible TO hold the representatives
from the agricultural sections iu line
for the tariffs demanded by the trusts
The men elected by the farmers oi
this country are as much TO blame fol
the tariffs complained of by the
farmer as are those from sections
where the trusts control the election
OF the representatives The sugar

trusts, lumber trust, and othtr trusts
are more interested today in keeping
the tariff on farm products than is the
