story that is always Americas story: the pressing forward, ever westward, to the conquest of new lands, to the felling of old forests
 There is a great field, 1t would seem in these plays of historic, or semi-historic themes, such to be written by our Amer ican authors and played by the youth of the land.
 The spirit of the plan can best be given by the answer of the heroine, Margaret, to her lover, David. Here she describes the woman and the man of her vision, of America:
 And I can see her as would have her, David:
 Athletic snewy, sun-tanned she must be Able to run, dive, lift and leap the
 hurdle,
 Free in her actions, with the world to range, And yet a mother beautiful, a wife Gentle and sweet; being who takes the dust,
 The bread-things and the broom things
 makes of them Vital adventures. This my comrade woman, The graceful beauty and the lovely man. ner.
 But a new manhood must arise to mate
 her,
 A manhood as heroic as the old, Unafraid of roughness, sweat and lifes
 fine dangers, Meeting the whole thick fighting world
 in the open. Light-hearted, joyous, hardy-yet, and
 yet, Unafraid also of the woman things Quite unashamed of tenderness and good ness,
 With heart large enough to house all moods Of beauty and music and the old chivalry He must be woman so far as sweetness goes,
 And yet all wrought of the eternal man, The creative worker and the woman's protector:
 These are my man and woman. David"

sTIow Leslie Loved, by Anne Warner
 (Little, Brown & Co.,, Boston, $1. 2o).
 Since long ago when Antony Hope reached the height of delightful dialogue many authors have hopefully followed in his path; few. if any, of the many have reached the heights of Hope.
 Anne Warner has always written dan gerously near the line that divides humor from the vaudeville gag.
 There is material enough in this book. If 1t came first hand, and there Is no reason to suppose it didn't, to make a pretty story with background of home life in England and in Germany.
 But the material has been unmerciful- ly hacked and mashed till there is little but the gag" the effort to make the hit to "get the laugh" If there has been effort to make satire the .accom- plishment Is only burlesque. Anne War ner has served a long and industrious apprenticeship at burning incense to the Spirit of Wit and Humor. It is heartily hoped that in time she will find something of that humor that Is good, warm and sweet, that is sympathetic. human and real.

AN EARLY DAY STAGE ROBBERY

In the last issue Of the Eureka
Sentinel contains the following
account of the robbery Of a stage
between Palisade and Eureka,
between May 9Th and 18th. 1872.
Eureka was then a prosperous
mining camp:
The last job of the road agents
occurred on Friday evening, and
was remarkable for the cool and
deliberate manner in which the
robbers did their work. AS re-
lated to us by an eye witness it
appears that at about Z o'cock p.
m. the Palisade stage had reached
a point about two miles this side
of Stonehill station, near Mineral
Hill the driver discovered some
suspicious; looking objects ahead.
and fearing stage robber S,
endeavored to turn his team but
was unable to do so on account Of
the deep ruts in the road. Four
masked lei appeared. and in COM
pliance with the customary request
the driver handed down the
treasure box to one of the party.
while the remainder ordered out
the passengers and leisurely pro-
ceeded to " go through" them.
The unfortunate male portion
of the passengers six, in number
were ordered to lie upon their
faces on the ground, which order
they were induced from the close
proximity of several small cannon,
to obey.
Among the passengers was a
minister of the GospeI. who, upon
being searched, plead manfully for
his money and watch, stating that
he was but a preacher, and per
consequence had only a very trif-
ling sum with him. But the relent-
less bandit didn't care a straw
only allowing him to retain his
watch until finding poor pi ckings
among the rest of the passenger S,
he returned and mildly but firmly
dem anded the aforesaid timepiece.
The leader, however, seemed mo re
tender-hearted and after extorting
a promise from the Christian
gentleman that he would pray for
him and his friends to the full
value of the watch returned it.

THINK COAL AS FUEL

1t may be only a year before all
coal bills will cease to trouble the
householders. The kick of the
servant against carrying scuttles #
coal mp stairs form the cellar will
become a memory. There will be
no necessity for washing the side
walks of coal dust. as no coal will
be delivered in the Spring Of 1912.
These surprising statements
were made in the Montauk Club,
Brooklyn at the annual dinner Of
the Electric Club.
In place of coal there will be
electrical energy. 1t may be used
for heat in the Winter and to cool
all living rooms in the Summer.
If plans are not all astray the
electric wizards Will be able to
store electricity in ordinary boxes

summed up the new situation in
this way:
81 dare make 'the prediction,
baised on knowledge Of important
experiments. that the day is not
far distant when the coal pile IN
the cellar will be replaced by the
electrical reservoir Of bOxlike
shape and moderate size to furnish
heat through the entire building
and also to the kitchen IN resi-.
denccs for cooling And this will
be done economically as compared
with coal as this accumulated
electricity will be stored at low
cost an be on tap for use when
needed. ! am hopeful that this
may be realized before We meet

that the world is on Il edge Of a

electrician said he cCuii be quoted
without the use of his name:
Inside of two years electricity
will be as common as oil for house
hold purposes. A child will be

are wrong in certain experiments
the making of a kitchen fire will
soon be simply the turning on of n
