1.-THE Patrician," a novel dealing
with ariStocratic English life, has just
come from the Scribner press. John
Galsworthy, the author, is now in the
prime of life, being forty-four years
old. He is an Englishman of high So
ciaI position by birth, man of educa-
ton who has devoted his entire life
to literature. In this country he is best
known for his play, Strife" which,
dealing with the question of capital
and labor, was produced a year or so
ago at the New theater to make a
strong impression on all who saw it
It's theme was typical of the writer
he has given his powers mainly to
pointing out the defects and weak
nesses and evils of social Institutions
Probably the heaviest blow he ever
struck in this direction was through
"Justice"-a drama which so forcibly
presented The evils of modern punish
ment of criminals as almost instantly
to bring about reforms in the English
prison system. But in ga Motley" and
in 1.-THE Patrician'' Mr.. Galsworthy's
purpose" is so unobtrusive that it
need not offend even those who dislike
fiction that has purpose beyond the
telling of a story "a Motley presents
striking glimpses of life largely among

ably compares Mrs. Cars book with
Miss Alcotts work, and it is to be
hoped that Mrs. Carr will continue
with the development of her series
without yielding to the prevailing ten
dency.

SOAP AND COCOA KINGS
SLATED FOR THE PEERAGE
Sir Edgar Speyer and Sir Charles
Henry Also selected to Pack House
Of Lords.

London.-The constitutional crisis
over the house of lords question is
causing great personal bitterness in
the ranks of the divided peerage and
has led to an incident for which it
would be difficult to find a precedent.
A day or two ago Lord Selborne, who
is one of the leaders of the mo sur
render" party, was coming down the
steps of the Carlton club and met Lord
CurZon, Lord Lansdowne's chief sup
porter, who was just entering the
building. The two peers, who up to
now, have been firm friends, looked
each other straight in the eye and
cut each other dead. The incident
was witnessed by a number of men,
bers and caused a sensation. In Brit
ish politics such personal friends are
almost unknown outside of the Houses
of parliament and for the first time
therefore, there is genuine rine
about the clamor over the creation oi
new peers to carry through the veto
bill
Lord Lansdowne IS terribly worried
and has aged considerably in appear
ance in the last two weeks, while Aus
ten Chamberlain and Lord Selborn'
go about looking as though they were
out shooting some enemy at sight.

Spokane, Wash.-Judge E. H. Sulli-

where he is presiding this term. 81
would have the spanking done in open
court by a man competent to do the
work" Judge sullivan said. There
would be no necessity for severity,
but just to inflict sufficient punish
ment to teacher the offender a les
son. Once having come in contact
with the official spanker l do not
think the youngster would return
very soon to the Juvenile court. There
is nothing gained by sending chill
dren to correctional institutions, ex-
cept in serious cases, hence l am of
the opinion that an official spanker
would be the most practical way to
handle some of the juvenile delin-
quents. There are several offenses
for which we are at loss to decide up
on the proper punishment, but l do
not believe we would make a mistake
by resorting to the old-fashloned
method of spanking. After two weeks
experience in this court 1 believe it is
the right thing"

SERVICE
BUILDS LAKES, ETC

Washington.-When it comes to
painting the lily or carrying Goals to
Newcastle there are very few concerns
which have anything on the Recla-
nation Service. Improving nature Is
one of the easiest things they do and
the creation of scenic beauties, "natu-
raj not artificial"-as the guides so
proudly says a weekly occurrence
in the annals Of this branch of the
Department of the Interior.
The addition of beautiful lake In
Wyoming's other scenic attractions Is
the latest stunt contemplated by the
engineers of the service. BY closing
the entrance to narrow canon on
the Shoshone river with the highest
dam in the world, a broad mountain
meadow mas been transformed into a
lake which covers an area of over
ten square miles and is more than
100 feet deep. AS the lake Is located
in the region Of the Yellowstone
park. the same wonderfully beautiful
colorings which make the park one
Of the show-posts Of the country are
to be found in the vicinity of the
lake.
In addition to being a thing OF
beauty the lake serves an economic
end in guaranteeing bountiful crops
to the hundreds of farmers who live
further down the Shoshone river.
From a sheep pasture Of but little
value this land has become a valuable
agricultural region.
