Such a mess of dulness and bizarreness and

Why Rider Will Be Read
And why will the young writers read Sir Rider!
To learn how to write, silly. You don't suppose
they II read Lore Eternal for fun, do youf Nor
to learn anything about witchcraft, demonology,
superstition, Immortality how to win the war, what
Sir Rider thinks of religion, what Sir Rider thinks
of some clcrgymen, what Sir Rider thinks of big
male DULLES, &c? What do the young writers care
about these things' Nothing. They find all
about witchcraft and demonology elsewhere with
less painful exertion by reading articles in ency-
cOppdias or the sermons If Cotton Mather. They
don care what Sir Rider thinks about religion or
male DULLES because they have their sets of
thoughts on these SUBJ ects They might read Lore
Eternal to find out how to win the war; but if they
do they will be disappointed, or else will come away
with deep conviction that the way to win the war
is to send your hero first to India and then to
France and them. Here, here; Lore Eternal
may be mighty inferior novel, but it is novel
and it will have readers who will not thank us if
we spill the story to them in advance.
Some of it. of course it is perfectly proper to i'm

Sir Rider-he's a knight, you
know, ''parfit gentil knight" with
whom Chaucer would have been salts
fed and who could have given the
author of the Canterbury Tales cards
and spades in a game of storytelling
Sir Rider has now written another
novel, called Love Eternal, which
pleased the London Times and maybe
satisfied King George that the knight
hood had been decently bestowed.
Maybe. Anything is possible in the
world we live in, and so it is possible
that English novel readers went
breathlessly through Lore Eternal
from kiver to kiver. Ourselves, we
have proceeded faithfully but without
much speed. We walked, we did not
run, to the nearest exit, which was on

scrutable reason, Sir Rider prefers to
designate him. Pastor would have
been as good or better. The pasteur-
ization of Godfrey is about as pleasant
as any part of the novel. Not very
exciting, this beaming old Swiss. but
restful and human. You accept him
easily. What you don't accept easily
is Madame Riennes. But to arrive at
her we must go back.
On the way to Switzerland Godfrey
had made the acquaintance of Mrs.
Ogilvy who, being interested in such
matters, discovered the boy to be
clairvoyant. She used to get him
over to her fine house at Lucerne on
Sunday afternoons, and there Madame
Riennes looked him in the eyes and
Godfrey lost consciousness for an hour
or two. Madame Riennes was doing
her spiritual best to kill Mrs. Ogilvy,
an objectionable enterprise in which
she finally succeeded. Mrs. Ogilvy
left all her money, or nearly all, to
Godfrey, and in such form that his
father couldn't lay hold of it. Just
before she died Godfrey's friend
warned him to keep away from
Madame Riennes, but the boy would
never have been able to do so had he
not confded in the stout old Pastor
Boiset. The scene in which the pastor
accompanies Godfrey to Madame
Riennes' den and routs the witch ut
terly is somewhere near the level of
Sir Rider Haggard s best. The pic
ture of the specialized, breathless,
flaming old clergyman with his feet
planted firmly on the crushed chest Of
the Madame's favorite mummy while
Godfrey sneezes from mummy dust
and the Madame raves is good.

Red Cross Hen Day" Big
Success.

The Hen Day" of the Jack
son County Red Cross was very
successful as is shown by the re-
port of the amounts realized in
each District.
The largest hens donated were
by Mrs. Henry Roberts and Mrs.
Joe Lee, of the 18th District.
These two ladies gave hens which
weighed 81 pounds each. The
18th District also donated the
largest number of hens and sent
in the largest amount of money.
No report has been received
from the Granville District, and
owing to incomplete reports
from some other districts; as to
the parties donating hens, we
are unable to report the names of
each contributor. The following
report shows the amount realized
by each District from the sale of
hens; and the chairman of each
