intimate facts concerning the two ladies' lives. They were declared sur prisingly true. They emboldened fur ther inquiry. When did Madame Ia Tzigane think that the war would end? Think? She knew absolutely. The war would end on the next 17th day of November. I am as sure of that she said, with a moments pause for emphasis, as I am that your chauf- feur is now lying dead under your car. And straightway the two wom- en went back over the road they had come, and they found it was even as the seeress had said. While their driver was at work under the car, another machine had rounded a curve from the rear, had collided with the standing automobile and had killed their chauffeur"

TWICE LOYAL"


 By Mary K. White. The Neale Publish ing Co, publishers, 40 Fourth ave- nue, New York.
 Here we have & pulsating story of the old south-a story that tells of a girl of that section, who has been reared to ad- here to all the traditions of many gen.
 erations jealous of their political purity,
 convinced of the justice of their institu- tions. and bent upon keeping their sov- ereignty inviolate. However, this girl, Catherine Hunter, turned out to be an
 independent thinker, a person with ideals and for consciences sake she opposed all
 those about her; and so. by the touch of the authors pen, we have herein been
 given an individualized type of the south- ern heroine; a heroine, indeed. whose
 acquaintance will be found profitable as
 well as entertaining by readers sated with the traditional girl of the Dixie of Confederate days.
 Any one whose interest and love are awakened at the mere mention of the
 south of the old regime (and it means
 much to manyD should not fail to read Twice Loyal" 'carrying, as does the book. a virie picture of people than which none has ever been richer in pride.

HARRY BUFFERS. R. F. A XfDTrsFr


 Edited by Mrs. Denis O'Sullivan. With an appreciation. by J. l.. Garvin. With 12 illustrations from photographs. The John Lale Co.,, publishers, New York.
 Harry Butters was a young Californian whose death in France called forth na- tion-wide eulogies from British person age and press. He was born in San Francisco, where he received his early education Later he entered Beaumont college, in Old Windsor, where, amid scenes replete with England's richest ru- ral charm and tradition, he learned to love the country which sheltered him, and felt the debt of gratitude he owed the land. When the war came, although he had returned to America, he went back to England to enlist and it was as an officer of the British army that he died. The letters published in this book, which had been sent home to various members of his family in California. were written at high pressure and with feelings which burst the restraint of the commonplace and conventional. Though but 8 lad in years, Lieutenant Buffers was a man in sight and sense of propor- tiCns, and it was this which made the correspondence so apart from the usual letters which have come from abroad. Mrs Denis O'Sullivan, who has collected and arranged the letters, is the widow of the famous Irish singer who was so eulogized by Mark Twain in his Me moirs.''

RICHLAND COUNTY.

The Democrat says:
Those thirst parlors in the vicinity
of Yuba are said to be doing a great
business with parties from dry terri
tory, towns of both Richland and Yer
non counties. Recently one car from
VirOqua took from one of those sa-
looms four ten-gallon milk cans filled
with booze, supposedly to be sold to
the thirsty in the hub Of Vernon coun-
ty That cargo would fill a consider
ablt number of half pint bottles and at
present prices the driver had little
business being filled up himself, for a
tip into the ditch with so valuable a
load would bankrupt the ordinary
boOtlegger.
Fellows who are inclined to 'step
on her" on the smooth pavements Of
the city should bear in mind that the
1858 club" of last year has been
changed by city ordinance and now
any person found driving faster than
fifteen miles an hour within the city
limits will be taxed $40 and costs,
amounting to $13. 1t might also be
well to remember that the same ordi-
nance provides a good stiff penalty
for operating a car within the city
limits with the ""cut-out" open. If
you are called upon to pay a fine for
either or both Of these Offenses no not
say that you were not warned of the
provisions Of the law.
