PEGGY STEWART" :"

By Gabrielle E. Jackson. The Macmillan Company. New York. There is no writer of stories for girls who stands higher in the estimation of the reading public than Gabrielle k. Jack son. and in her clever novel Peggy Stew art" she has eclipsed all former efforts It is 8 two fold pleasure that a book holds when it may be said of 1t that it is a book for girls which their mothers will enjoy as well as they anr this may be truly remarked in regard to Peggy Stew art"
 The author has caught the beautiful southern atmosphere of the spring time in Maryland, of all seasons the most de- lightfui and romantic, andeshe has pre- sented picture of character environ
 ment in which "Peggy.' our heroine, Is introduced.
 She is a motherless child. running about
 wild as a turkey" but she is so real. 90 alive and SO attractive that you can't help
 being interested In her from the very start.
 Mrs Jackson does not paint her as a
 "beautiful', heroine, but there Is so much
 more than beauty that one forgets that fact at once,
 Peggy finds true friend in her Ken lucky thoroughbred, who loves her in re- turn as much as Peggy loves the 2-year- old colt, and their friendship is prettily | told by the author Although her life is not always one of ] sunshine and good cheer. for there are some stormy days and dreary times. but after all the sunshine comes Into her life. the many hued rainbow appears and everything turns out just as delightfully."-
 as one could wish.

wAsPs AND WoODPECKERs
Wasp Nests Reported Small, and Not
 Frequent
From the Bangor News.

From the Bangor News.
 Reports from Maine backwoods have 1t that wasp nests are unusually small and infrequent this season How large . Maine nest of wasps can be, the Lord alone knows. Perhaps as big as a peck basket. or a half-bushel basket at biggest. But what is the use to fix the size? If a Maine paper should state that a half f-bushel
 basket were the limit" either -Old Sub- scriber" or ''Veritas' or Pro Bono Pub lico" would send in a wasps nest as big as a fat bushel basket--fully prepaid and with the living wasps inside just to prove that city editor or country editor
 knows nothing at all about tho ways of Maine.
 There is an old Maine tale. told at times in the New. York Sunday papers. which relates it every year. after first frosts the speckled and spotted kinds called in English the hairy and downy and In Lat | in the villousus and pubescens-these cute | birds come along and rife the nests (and the grubs cannot help themselves) of the dead and dying grubs, and eat them. because the birds are hungry. in the | least. It is further related by those who ought to know. how the big and bulky nests are pulled and torn apart by the voracious birds. until now it is next to l impossible to buy whole and perfect | wasps nest at any price. Whereas. in | former years man could bring In a | nest the size of family teakette to q | Bangor bar and receive either two drinks and a cigar or two cigars and drink for his trophy to hang up against the bar mirror. the present market quota | tions on such nests range all the way | from % cents to sl.5o, according to how bad the individual wants it.
 The question for the Maine economist I to decide at present Is: Are the wood- peckers going to extermnate all the wasps from the Maine woods? For in her own way. the wasp-the female or | worker wasp--is an interesting and at times a very social and companonable | brute. It stinss. stuns and carries away

 These two volumes, Jacobs Sons and 'Isarers Prophets. shatter the steel en- graving portraits that have so misrepre- sented the great personalities of the Old Testament during the ages that have passed since their lives were lived among their fellow men. Writers are rescung the men of secular history from the rate that overlook them befoe their poor shapes of clay had become formless. We now know that Caesar. Frederick the Great, Bonaparte and Washington were human beings, and hereafter the person. ality of each must live with his work. The saints of old were men as well as saints, and so Dr. Petrie would have us know, scnd by his books he shows that only as men may men be studied. They may not be studied as saints until they first shall have been made known to us as human beings.
 That 'Isarel's Prophets will stimulate Bible study to the degree that it was stim- ulated by Jacobs Sons" may not be doubted. Both books are open gateways that lead to Bible knowledge.

"1N SEARCH OF ARcADy."

Company, New York.
 The question of the English nobleman
 and the American girl has been one that
 has furnished food for not only many
 startling newspaper stories, but novels as
 well, and Nina Wilcox Putnam has chosen this theme for her story, entitled 'In Search of Already" Of course, stories of this sort are always absolutely impossible. yet they can he told in such . charming manner that one enjoys them in spite of that fact. as is the case with Tn Search of Arcady.' The author brings Cecil Fitz-Willams, Earl of Caamhoyne. across the pond' and lands him In New York, when he takes the Berkshire Express from the Crank Central Station for trip into New England.
 Up to this time the Earl had led the life of a most highly respectable and entirely conventional English Gentleman. No sooner does he reach the Berkshire country than he falls in love. With whom?

 There are many plots and side plots and various unexpected things happening all the while which are surprising and in- tArsstmE and which when solved make . most delightful melee of fun and pleas ure. Ths story is very clever one and one whIoA is we'll worth reading.

 New York.
 There cannot well be more love in this

 the occupants kept their windows shining

 With the awakening of nature this best loved spot absorbs all our interest. The budding spring entices us out and being impatient to dig and plant and prune the amateur gardener Is fortunate in having a volume so replete with useful and timely suggestions.

 The treatment of the flower garden naturally absorbs the greater part of this volume. embracing as 1t does chapters on the selection, planting and grouping of shrubs, the training and treatment of vines, the hardy border, composed of hol- lyhocks, peonies, phlox, coreopsis daisies. flags, in fact all the old fashioned flowers which we love best

THE LONELY QUEEN"

LII E IJONEb Nll bhA~ By Fl. c. Bailey. George H. Doran Com
 pany, New York.
 Of the intriguing times of the ''Tudors there is always material galore for an in- teresting story and as H. C. Bailey's "The Lonely Queen uses these parlous days for the motif of the story the book Is far and away one of the most delightful of the hour.
 To the lover Of adventure it will appeal very strongly, as there are dangers rife, perilous rides, dark and subtle schemes to be avoided, all of which takes keen perspicacity and clever wit in tho weav- ing.
 The story starts at the time of the death of Edward VI. and the recital of events involving Elizabeth and the mo- mentous and haphazardous days for Eng land and England's queen are stirringly woven and well told by the author. The appearance of Sir William Cecirs secretary about the middle of the book is the signal for series of events which are hair splitting and impulsve, in which the secretary Is the real hero, and his achieve ments andb experiences fill the rest of the chapters with much that is readable and interesting to the end.

ROADS AND BRIDGES.

The County Commissioners
annually include in the appropri-
ations for expenses of maintain
ing the county governments a levy
for county road fund. This
money has been used towards
keeping up the creek crossings
and especially places like the
Carrizo hill. Some expense is
also incurred in locking after the
approaches to the Butte Creek
bridge.
We understand that the mat
ter of building bridges in the
Two Buttes segregation is un-
der consideration. Three bridges
are needed across Bear Creek,
to say the least, but the state
should build them. During .the
past years more than $4,000
has been extended on the tax
rolls for state purposes. The
County has received State aid to
the extent of 81, 800 for the build
ing of the Butte Greek bridge.
United efforts should be made
through our Representatives to
induce the next Legislature to
make liberal appropriations for
the building of three bridges in
Baca County.
