War, Love and Romance

Burton E. stevenson who has given
fiction lovers many hours Of entertain
nent with his detective and mystery
stories. we'll sustains his reputation as a
breezy writer Of engaging narrative In
his latest book. Little Comrade" Oicnry
Holt Il Co, New York..
Mr stevenson has taken am old theme
that Of the woman spy, beautiful OF
course. who seeks to eludc the yiglanr"
of an outraged government by palmmg
herself of as IN" loving wife of am
uususpectng and innocent young Amori-
can-but he has given il the brand new
setting Of the present war Then, TOO,
he has dressed it up in quite new way.
Such much-abuscd adiectives as absorb
ing" and "rattlng' may well be applied
TO Little Comradr" withou, stretching
point one can even imagine reader
missing a meal or a few hours of sleep
rather than lay the book aside once 1t
has been begun, The vivid descriptions
of the German invasion OF Belgium and
the assaults upon Licge are. OF course,
second hand. but one would have to
search far in war literature to tind any
thing better. The remarkable adventures
of the hero and heroine may seem bit
exaggerated, but when IL comes to that
the most prusaic story that one could
write Of this astonishing war also seems
exaggerated.

LOCAL OPTION IN FULTON

A local option election with a view
to abolish saloons will be held in
Fulton within the next two or three
months, according to the Fulton Gaz-
cite. The last election was held on
December is, 1911, and the next
election cannot come earlier than
Monday, December 20. The law in
validates elections held within sixty
days Of a general or municipal cleo
lion, and as, the next city election
will be held or April 5, the local op-
ton election must come not later
than February a.
In an election in which $50 votes
were cast Fulton went wet in 1911
by a majority of 1870 votes. The
question was submitted on August
26, 1907, and the drys got a majority
Of 1863 with only ss7 votes cast.
The change in results was attrib-
ated to the negroes, who were dry in
the first election and wet in the Sec
ond. Local option also was voted on
IN Fulton in September, 1887, when
the vets won.
Fulton has only two saloons and
they are licensed for a period expir-
ing in February.

Halloween Party at Benton City.
The young folks Of Benton City
were entertained with a Halloween
party Saturday night at the Tratchel
Hall.
At " thirty the hall, which had
been beautifully decorated By Misses
LEILA and Lena Brenton, Hozel Hide
brand, Messrs. John Dews, Walter
Tratchel, and Lewis Brenton, was
opened to their guest.
A ghost stood at the door with ice
cold hands to welcome everyone. Az
ter the crowd had gathered, they
were formed into a line led by a ghost
and witch carrying ack,-o-lanterns.
Thus they paraded about the business
part of town. After returning to the
hall, old time games were INDUCED
in; such as bObbing for apples, blow
ing out candles, and many other
games. Fortunes were told by a
very clever little girl dressed in gyp-
81 attire. The little With who sat
patiently by her kettle of fortunes
pleaded for everyone to have a for
tune as they passed by.
At ten O'Clock everyone was re-
quired to unmask, as apples and pop
corn balls were served. Later a de-
lightful Halloween supper, which
consisted of pumpkin pie, sweet cider,
ginger-snaps, pickles and chicken
sandwiches, was served to everyone.
The jolly time came to a close at
twelve when the witches hold sway
was a thing Of the past.
