"IT AND OTHER soRIEs.n 3v Gouvernetlr Marris Cha rlae Cf

 By Gouverneur Morris. Charles Scrib- ners Sons, New York
 MT Gouverneur Morris iS a past grand master with his pen in the art of Short Story" writing.
 No other writer of the prefdnt day ca;I play with words and tweai the nose of probability and come out a high-handed victor like Mir. Morris.
 He has inventive genius, the craftsman S easy style. the poets imagination and better than all, a "humanness' that is so intense that every character he delin- eates is recognizable among our list of acquaintances.
 In his clever dedication" of Tt and Other Stories" MT Morris declares that they are merely pot boilers," but we beg leave to say at once that they are very clever pot boiers.' and handled with very dextrous touch.
 One of the best of his collections is Holding Hands,, which is an idyllic love story, full of intensity and very read able.
 The Indian story, Growing Up" is in striking contrast with ''The Brides Dead' and Back There in the Grass" You will miss great treat if you don't possess yourself at once of volume of Tt and Other Stories"

Albany. N. Y May 25.-The improved Benevolent and Protected Order of Elks of the World, a negro organization, must adopt another name which contains no reference to the cllls. and its members must not wear the Elks emblem, accord- ing to decision handed down by the court of appeals.

 If you want to read a story fresh laden with sea breezes and salt spray, with the atmosphere and environment redolent of the ocean and it's myriads of possibilities, then read Alice Louise Lees ''Cap'n Joe's Sister,"

THE LOG HOUSE cL1rR...

"A STORY OF THE CIVIL WAR" By
 Robert Eggert The John Winston
 Company, Philadelphia.
 It is seldom that one finds a story so wholesome and refreshing as this narra- tive. based on fact and full of the pathos of the nations struggle. The love story is touching and beautifu and the book, though it shows the useless suffering which the war carried in its train, Is ab- solutely without animosity.
 There is more, too. than the historic interest or the interest of the love theme to make the book appealing for the Log House Club which gives it's name to the story, Is a social experiment worthy of study. The club is the natural result of the association of a number of young men who had contracted with the railroad company for the building of a large stretch of railroad in the west: but the success of the club is due largely to the presence of Mrs. Graham and her two daughters. who make the club houFe homelike and lend inspiration to the boys.
 The happy life of hard work and mutual heipfulness is interrupted by the call for men to aid the nation in her death strug- gle. and all with the exception of one who had previously returned to his home in Louisiana. enlist in the Union army. The 'r--- of their leave taking and of their part in the var, and of how Mary Gra- 4.sIn goes to the south as nurse in search of her lover. is one which all read CTS must enjoy.

 CAPTAIN

Washington, Dec. 2O-Befo fore starting for the Canal, Presi.. dent Taft signed the pardon of Capt. VanSchiack in command Of the ill fated steamer Sclo.. cum at the time she burned. The President stipulated that the pardon should become oper alive on Christmas day, a Christmas present. Capt. Van Sohaick Is broken down old man rapidly approaching 75 years of age. That the men in the same line of work did not consider him to blame for the awful accident for which he was committed to the peniten.. tiary is shown by the fact that the captains and pilots of the Port of New York have bought and paid for a house for the
 aged captain in which he may spend the balance of his days.

BIGGEST LOAD 0F HERRING
 EVER SHIPPED

On board the Alki on her present trip is the largest amount of herring ever shipped out of Alaska on one vessel. 1t consists of 3l00 boxes of salt herring each weighing 400 pounds nett, for export to the Orient from in the neighbOr.. hood of Yes bay; and 1000 barrels of salt herring from Petersburg. This makes close co five thousand tons of salt herring which have been ship, ped from the Behm canal her.. ring grounds this season. Of course the mere mention of tons of fish doesn't convey much of an idea to the aver. age mind, but when We stop to figure out that that much herring would fill eight freight trains of 30 cars each, one can get a better idea of it, and all of it of the heretofore unused little herring, taken within 60 miles of Ketchikan. In addi.. ton to the herring the Alki has on board 300 boxes of frozen halibut from the New England Fish company and 900 cases of canned salmon from the Ketchikan cannery.
