a romance of the Merry Monarch'7
court should be debonnair above all else,
and this note Mr.. Major has struck well.
What is more, he has used throughout
admirable judgment and good taste. His
heroine is Frances Jennings, the cider
sister of the more famous Sarah, first
Duchess of Marlborough, whom she Gre-
ceded to the court at Whitehall as maid
of honor to the Duchess of York. The
hero is Frances's first husband, George
Hamilton: the plot is concerned with the
intrigue by which Charles was induced
to sell Dunkirk to Louis XIV. The stage
is well set, historic personages fit across
IT, prominent among them, Of course,
Nell Gwynn and Lady Castlemain, the
Duke of Monmouth. Lord Berkeley and
others Of the Kings encourage. In how
far the author has used the novelists
license In assigning to Frances and her
future husbands the parts they play in
these pages In a historic episode need not
be inquired into. Suffice 1t to say that
the lady receives Justice at his hands,
that the picture he draws Of her does
her justice-and certainly no injustice
and that as story the book is good
entertainment from first 10 last. 1t has
plenty OF color and movement and Incl

Plain Dealing.

Monday, June 17.-Crop prospects as
whole are fairly good. At and near
Miller's Bluff, on the Caddo side, there
is considerable complaint of insect ene-
mics, both on corn and cotton-the worm
even feeding on young cockleburs. In
that section rain is needed, but in nearly
every other section tributary to Plain
Dealing sufficient rain has fallen to
keep the crops in growing condition,
and practically all the farmers are in a
cheerful frame of mind as to the final
outcome for good crop.

Prosperity in the Southwest.

Mercantile and agricultural prosperity
il the Southwest is reflected in the
handsome gains in the gross earnings Of
the st. Louis Southwestern Railway, or
Cotton Belt Route. For April and May,
the revenue from operation shows an
increac Of St44, 900, with $4,000 for
April and $4,000 for May.
The heavy volume of traffic justifies
the preparations which the company
has made to take care OF the autumn
business, and there will be immediate
use for the new motive power and equip
ment which will be received in August
from the builders.
For the freight service there has been
ordered eighteen locomotives of the
consolidation type and four mogul
switching engines. Delivery will also
be made in August of twenty all-steel
passenger coaches by the American Car
and Foundry Company Of St. Louis.
The Company has received two loco
motive cranes for the shop yards in
Tyler, Texes, and wrecking crane for
general purposes.
In all probability, contracts will be
awarded this year for number OF new
refrigerator cars. the early fruit and
vegetable movement from Texas and
Arkansas requires several thousand re-
frigerator cars, and the production is
becoming so enormous as to compel the
acquisition of additional equipment.
