enough to carry each to a helpful finish,
Miss Gregory, in spite of her fifty years,
makes a more delightful heroine than the
average debutante of the average novel.
Mere youth, for instance, would lack the
judgment-and bravery-which enabled
Miss Gregory" to cook dinner for lawless
men on q wrecked trader" and serve II
in an evening gown. The same judgment,

written eases her spinster heart of it's

the baby In the crutch of her arm, smiled
with tenderness in which there was
mingled the arrogance, the confidence, the
exultation Of motherhood

Miff1in Company.
AS soldier and war correspondent, and
with a perfect command of the Bulgarian
language, the author combines with his

| the charm of human realism that comes
from close contact with the conditions OF

causes that led to hostilities and Of the
conflict itself. forcefully simple chron

MEMOIRS RELATING TO FOUCHE.
Translated from the French by E.
Jules Meras. The Court Series of
gis & Walton Co. Washington:
Ballantyne & Sons.
BY the grace of Napoleon I, Joseph
Fouche became minister Of police and
Duke of Otranto. Notes taken directly
from the letters and papers of Fouche
and worked into the form of narrative
give this volume the qualities of intimacy
and frankness' that are supposed to lie
in genuine memoirs themselves. Here
out of a maze of personalities, usually
bombastic self praise. but frequently the
whimperings of whipped child, one
reaches an Illuminating nearness to the
emperor himself. to his policies, his tyr
annies. his huge vanitieS and petty per-
sonalities, his greatness and his little
ness set off in black and white contrasts
and contradictions. 1t is from this poin,
alone, from this view of Napoleon and
the medium through which he wrought
that the memoirs relating to Fouehe take
on any degree Of Importance and interest

lin w. Hutchinson, jr:. author OF
ELECTRICITY in Mining" ETC.; L. W
Ellis, author of "Power and the
Plow," etc. Illustrated. Chicago: r
G. Browne & Co.
It has been recently stated that the
United States is far ahead Of Europe IN
the matter Of motor truck development
and use. This volume, by a group Of
authors who have made a particular
study Of traction problems and the me-
chanics of agriculture, is a revelation Of
extent to which motors are in use here
and the wide range of their efficiency
The subject is of the utmost economic
importance. 1t is for example, shown
In the course of these pages that the
annual cost of the maintenance of horses
in the United States is 100000
This gives an indication Of the magni
tude Of the problem which motor traction
is solving.

The Mussulmans of the World.
From Harper's Weekly.

Turkish periodicals publish statistics OF
the Mussulman population Of the world
and although it is difficult to follow alb
solutely the statistics of a country where
records are SO imperfecuy kept. the ap-
proximate results are as follows:
The Ottoman empire contains $4,000.
600 persons, of whom 100000 live In
Europe and 100000 in Asia But OF
these not more than one-half profess the
faith Of Mohammed.
The Russian empire has quite proper
ton of the followers Of Mohammed, num-
bering several millions. In India there
are some 100000 Mussulmans, while
Persia, Afghanistan, Arabia and other in
dependent countries in Asia have about
90 600 900 more The Dutch colony of
Java, with Bornee. the Philippines and
other adjacent islands, contain several
millions besides.
All the northern and central part OF
Africa rests firm in the faith OF the
prophet.

THE DANCE AND OUR MERCHANTS.

No town in the whole State
can boast Of q more liberal set Of
merchants and businessmen than
our own town Of Tailulah.
There being so few young men
in the town, a dance like the che

ir possible had it not been for the
splendid financial assistance from
our good merchants, some Of
whom would not be benefited to
even the extent Of a five.cent

This latest display of hone in

another strong factor which goes
to show that the home merchants
are deserving OF our patronage.
