A Little Girl ON the Prairie.

Books have been written about the
prairie before, but none from quite
the standpoint of Margaret Lynn in
Miss Lynn has not chosen wild adj
venture as her theme, neither has she
dwelt upon the vast wastes, the OPP
pressive silence and the solitariness
of existence there. But rather, through
the medium of child's mind she has
endeavored to paint picture of the
human side of prairie life and the
physical characteristics of the prairie
as they affect people. The little
heroine, who is the stepdaughter of
the title, is an exceedingly real crea-
tion-in fact, it is the quality of
reality, with the literary charm that
comes from good writing, that dis
tinguishes the volume. Few more APP
pealing girls have appeared in the
fiction of recent years than the one
whose moods are here chronicled.
Miss Lynn's plot, if word so sug-
gestive of mechanics may be applied
to a work in which there is nothing
of the artificial, reveals how the little
girls hatred of the prairie and all APP
pertaining to it gradually changes
into feeling that prairie life can be
endured, but that 1T is never a thing
for enthusiasm, and finally evolves
into tremendous love for the prairie.
1t is all beautifully told and in the
fathoming of the mind and heart of
the child Miss Lynn shows herself
to be a keen delineator of character.
Her pages will more than once recall
to the reader the days of a distant
childhood-days when company was
coming to tea, days when forbidden
book was delightfully."- read under the
spare-room bed, days when there
were secret feasts on cookies in the
kitchen. days when a dare was TAKEN

The first woman member of the

termination to have her friends, of

results in contretempts of the most

dressed in the garb of her house
keeper, she is compelled to submit
to the familiarity and even the en-
braces of her coachman who takes
her for the servant she is imperson-

KAUFMAN SIGNS

When Dick Kaufman signed his
contract last night with the Tigers
the last holdout was disposed of,
and another dependable twirler
was added to the hurting staff.
Iron Man McGinnity took ad-
vantage Of the warm sun yester-
day and with King Kelley behind
the bat, and seven others players
picked up here and there, defeat
ed a nine headed by Percy Heale.
The game went for five innings,
and the Iron Mans aggregation
proved winners, 5 to 2.
McGinnity tried out his wing
for three stanzas and then let Leo
McQuarrie cast the globule for
the remainder of the encounter.
Leo Fourier, who will play with
the Western Tri-State league this
year. pitched the full game for
the Healers.
Clyde Keller, who was sold to
Montreal in the International
league, left for Georgia where he
will join the training camp of the
Canadians.

SESSION ENDS

Y. M. c. A. last night for the or
ganization of the Pierce County
Sunday School Athletic associa-
ton. The trouble arose over the
question of the Sunday school
superintendent supervising the

didn't like this idea, and object
ed strenuously.
The superintendents say they
just want to keep the athletics on
a clean plane and see that each
Sunday school has a thoroughly
representative team.

league drew apart from the others
last night and organized separate
ly for the year of 1914.
A meeting will be held March
