1t is sufficient to say that the book Is
written with all that springhtly dialogue
and racy slang that have characterized
the Wallingford stories from the start.
Wallingford and Blackie Daw is the
equal, If not the superior, of any OF the
Wallingford books which have been
written thus far. All of the Wallingford
stories are now published in a uniform
edition.

I'VE have worked persistently and con-
sistently for the past three years for a

indorse and desire the so-called universal
transfers, we prefer to have that question

''The commission would take up the
particular points where transfers are
needed and. II there is SUFFICIENT evil
dence to satisfy them that an order
should be issued. Il will be issued. while
at other points. where possibly the In
sistence is not so great. they would not

Many have doubted the truth Of the
Barbara Frietchie incident. Some have
gone farther and denied not only the oc-
currence, but the very existence Of the
worthy lady. The latter contention Is.
of course, absurd, as there are many per-
sons still living who conversed with her,
and were her friends anG neighbors. The
first assertion may be excused, as even
her great-niece, Mrs John Abbott, who
was with her quite often during that
troubled period. knew nothing authentic
Of the famous incident, and 50 stated for
forty-eight years.
1t was not until 1910 that Mrs Wine
brenner, nee Caroline Ebert, to whom
Barbara Frietchie related the story, broke
the silence OF years, told Mrs. Abbott.
and afterwand the writer, for whom she
made affidavit to the story. When q
young girl visiting Washington, right
after the war, Mrs. Winebrenner had
related il several times and had been i'm
portuned to have 1t published. A DR..
Miller. of McKeesport, Pa, was parti-
cularly insistent, but Miss Ebert refused.
AS in so many families, ners was divided
in sentiment. and she did not want to
add TO the already bitter feeling, she
stated. In later life. through falling
health, she was almost a recluse, until
her sudden death, from apoplexy, last
July, at seventy-five years Of age
1t would seem. in view Of the corrob-
Grating evidence of Mr.. Parsons, 4 man
Of position, wealth; and influence, and
himself Confederate, to which side the
poem has been especially anathema, that
no further doubt Of the story should
exist
