Waitstill Baxter, although 1t might be
considered quite locally American, is
selling largely in England and calls
forth most favorable comments. The
following paragraph closes the review
in the London Daily Telegraph:
In delicate d~elineation, OF character
by seemingly easy touches, in fresh,
simple humour, and that quality
known as mother-wit, Mrs Kate
Douglas Wiggin is proved master, and
her new book will but serve to height
en- her reputation. Much as readers
may be moved to indignation by Dea-
con Baxter, they will find this story
a worthy companion to. the other de-
lightful volumes from the same PEN
a story which it is a joy to read,
which it will be a pleasure to remern-
ber." 3

Red Hanrahan.

That William Butler Yeats is no less
a master of the prose tale than Of the
poem or play is demonstrated by the
publication this week of Stories of Red
Hanrahan. Though this book has many
friends in England and the continent,
where it is held in quite as high es-
TEEN as any of it's authors work, 1t
is, strangely, little known here. The
version which is now brought out was
especially prepared by MI. Yeats for
American publication from the latest
English rendering which he enlarged
and revised.
Red Hanrahan, who may be likened
in more than one respect to Rip Van
Wrinkle of American story, is dear to
the hearts of thousands of Irish peas
ants. Some of the legends of his
wanderings and adventures Mr.. Yeats
has gathered together. 1t is with ma
terial Of this sort hat he is most at
home, and in re-telling these quaint,
half fantastic traditions there is am
pie opportunity for the display Of i'm
agery and delicate fancy which have
ever distinguished his writing.
In addition to the stories of Red
Hanrahan, a half dozen in number
and which constitute n of the most
charming literary collections of folk
tales of recent years, the volume con-
tains ten other short stories under the
main head, The Secret Rose, and one
long contribution, Rosa Alchemica.

night, when a. heavy rain overlook him.
The settlement, in a cup-shaped de-
preston of a mountain peak about 5000
feet above the plain, can be reached
only on fot along a p~recipitous trail.
Mr.. Terry arrived at the monastery
drenched to the skin and plastered
over with mud. Borrowing a robe
from the hospitable monks, he sent
his clothes and boots to be dried by
the fire in the huge, sombre, high
raftered kitchen. The sad sequel told
in his own words is this: W..
"Evidently no American tramping
boots had ever been seen by the monk
whose duty it was to dry. mine, for he
placed them carefully over the live

them until they were charred to a

SATURDAY, APRIL Il, 1914.
DOGS vs.. SHEEP.

Is the prevalence of dogs in the
small town responsible for killing off
the sheep industry in the United
States? This is the serious charge
made against mans best friend by
Farm and Ffreside in its latest issue.
1t features an article headed, The Dog
or the Sheep, Which? in which IL num-
her of sheep raisers express their
opinions on this subject.
Practically all these men condemn
the dog without mincing words. The
following opinion of Frank Klein
heinz. sheep husbandman Of the Uni
versity of Wisconsin, Is typical of the
nswer in Farm and Fireside;
/ know positively that many
farmers sold off their sheep on
account Of dogs, and that the fear
of this injury to sheep has dis
Couraged SO many farmers that
we would have at least so per cent
more sheep in the state Of Wis
consin today IL it were not for this
fact. And it is almost too sad for
me to say that at farmers meet
ings where | have been called up
SL W h"iN StlSSP-I oiSlIlS III
Wisconsin some Of the oldest
farmers have got up and told me
that there is no use talking sheep
in their locality-not because the
were not aware of tho
profits derived from sheep on the
farm, but because they could not
afford to raise sheep for dogs to
feed on. / often feel very much
discouraged and dishearted over
the dog problem in our state.
Last winter | worked at our legis-
latiVe session day and night to
get a law passed. My bill was in
the assembly and senate, but un-
fortunately was called up for re-
consideration and killed. May the
Lord spare me for @ little while
longer, so l can get into the fight
again"
After publishing a number of ex-
pressions similar to the one above,
Farm n Fireside says:
Almost all normal people are
fond of dogs. The man or woman
who will defend the present condi-
tions of things in the world of
dogs and sheep convicts himself
OF being a dog worshiper whose
proper time for living would have
been in Egypt when the dog god
Anubis was Worshiped. There are
Sportsmen and ignorant dog lovers
IN h country who have been I'D
to this day more influential with
legislators than farmers have ever
been, Il who AVE insisted that
the dog god Anubis must be wor-
SHIPPED every year in the sacrifice
of thousands of sheep killed by
dogs, Of hundreds Of thousands
ruined by their worrying and pro-
secution, and Of millions which
would be bred if the reign of the
dog could be broken.
The raising Of sheep has always
been advocated in North Dakota as
one of the strong links in the diversi-
fled farming chain. 1t is therefore a
matter in which all North Dakotans
are deeply interested. The Forum is
of the opinion that if the farmers
would cooperate they ought to be
able to handle this problem. One of
the answers to Farm and Ffreside
was from a South Dakota man who
said that his section of the country
was not bothered by dogs, because the
people in the villages, being depend
emit on the agricultural district sur
rounding them, saw that their dogs
did not interfere with the sheep BUSH

A Chance for Business.

Cleveland Leader: Radicals at
Washington admit, much against their
will, that most Of the antitrust bills
now pending or in process Of. prepa-
ration will probably be allowed to go
over until the next session of con-
gress. Others which the administra-
ton purposes forcing to a final vote
are to be much toned down and
rendered as little. disturbing as may
be to important industrial and COM
merCial interests.
1t is time for respite from legisla-
ton which makes the conditions Of
business hard for men who try to deal
honestly and fairly with their fellows
and with the government. TOO much
experimental reform at one time may
be prostrating rather than helpful.

Whv Proaressives Will Endure,


From a letter written by DR.. Rigdon
Of 291 Gary street, San Francisco, In
Golfers Weekly: Il have been Vot-
ing for a good many years. but when
] came Of age, and cast my first ballot,
l tailed to see even at that time any
distinct moral principle that the re-
publican or democratic party stood
for. 1t seemed to me then hat both
parties were dealing In the past and
We're not looking forward excepting in
the matter Of securing offices and
patronage . . When the progress
sive party was born it opened up a
new possibility of citizenship. 1t had
fairly well-deflned ideas as to what
was wrong in governmental affairs,
and a very we'll thought-out program
for remedying those difficulties. But,
best Of nj, it seemed willing to make
a straightforward attempt to meet the
conditions as they are, and to come
to all. of these questions, government
al, economic, and social, with an open
mind, determined to reach a just solu-
ton. For almost the first time in my
life felt l could be a member Of an
effective political party and know Just
why l was in hat party and not in
some other, and it did not seem to me
that it would make a great deal of diff
ference whether we succeeded in elect
ing our officials at once or were de-
feated for a time. The principles were
there and we could keep working. =. :.
The fact that the young men and
women of the United States today
have before them a party hat stands
for something definite. that has prin-
cIples, that has convictions upon ques-
tons of government, and are willing
to stand by those convictions, is OF in
estimable value, I believe. to the NOR
al upbuilding and Strengthening OF our
people. We need just such a socio-
moral rallying point to arouse in us
convictions that will drive us TO do
things that may seem difficEst and
often disagreeable, but which are fun
damentally necessary"
