Funeral services for the late
Urban Stewart. a resident of the val
ley, were held here today. Mr.. Stew
art was taken i'll during November

ing as follows: "Oh! My Father"
Nearer My God to Thee" and my
Father Knows"
The speakers were Bishop Willie
T. Stewart and Mr.. w. T. Stewart.
During his sermon the latter said in
part: urban Stewart was a man
respected and admired by all who
knew him. AS a neighbor, he was
respected for his honesty, and as
being a man of his word In no
one could the sense of gratitude
predominant more than in him"
Bishop Stewart also spoke high
ly of him and added many comfort
ing remarks for the bereaved.
The remains were inferred in the
Alamo cemetery.
The decea sedis survived by a
widow, three small children, and a
married daughter, Mrs. Chas. Castles
OF Hike. Mr.. Stewart had a host of
friends in the valley who extend their
deepest sympathy to the bereaved
family.

C. Stowell, and her brother-in-law
Garfield Stowell, returned from
Blackfoot, Ida, last week where they
have been staying for some months
past.

ter, Mrs. Earl Brody, from Phoebe
were Alamo visitors last Thursday.
The death of Urban Stewart Of
Alamo occurred last evening Mr.

ments for the funeral have not ye
been made.

Learning to Serve
A Boys Book, at Once Enter
tanning and Elevating

trated by F; C. caswcll. lamo. pp 2i5 The
Macmlllan Company.
There may be as many ways of writ
ing books for boys as Kipling says
there are of writing tribal lays, but
most OF them naturally fall into one
of two general classes; namely, the
entertaining or the elevating. The for
mer are of course preferred by the
Coys themselves, while the latter are
pressed upon them by their elders. And
sometimes, not always, the latter are
mawkish, mollycoddle and stupid. We
say that most of them belong to one of
these classes. But now and then one
belongs to them both and has these
offensive qualities of neither, and is
therefore greatly to be priced.
Such is the book which Mr. Latham
has here written. 1t is the story of
boy. with lovable qualities and also with
serious faults, who enters and becomes
leading spirit Of club of boys, not
one of whom is altogether either imp
or angel; who has friendships and
quarrels and the usual experiences of
a red-bloodcd boy, and who in the end
learns the supreme virtue and value
OF service. The story is thoroughly
entertaining. Boys will find it as fas-
cinating as the provcrbial Indian tale
or detective yarn. 1t is also elevating
we don't mean that word in its banal
misuse. but rather as Il synonyme for
instructive, inspiring, helpful and what
not, all in one; and it is that in q deft,
tactful. unobtrusive way, teaching by
engaging example rather than by prosy
precept: Mr.. Latham evidently has
knowledge of boy nature which is at
once keen, discriminating and sympa-
,hellc' ana he has written a book which
boys will love to read and which thcir
elders will heartily approve their read
ing.
1t would be unfair to omit a word of
praise, also, for the exquisite illustra-
IONS which Mr.. Caswell has provided.
As works of art they arc charming,
While as illustrations of the text they
are appropriate and indeed above
praise.

Mechanism of Mystery
Carolyn Wells New Story Of
Ghosts and Murder

TIE ROOM WITH THE TAssELs. By Carol,n
To1a,. Wells: limo. pp. 2s5. Tho George IT, Doran
There arc ghost stories, society
stories, murder stories, mystery
stories, detective stories and stories Of
humor, and there are those who write
them we'll. There are few who would
venture to combine all these various
StyleS IN single novel of moderate
length, and still fewer who. undertak
ing it, could do the trick successfullv
Yet that is what Miss Wells-as We
must continue to call her-has done
win complete success. That is, para
uoSlcally enough, perhaps because such
writing seems on the face of it so far
out or her line, as we used TO regard
her line. What has the snarkI;ny
etfervescent humorist to, do Wiz
gloomy ghosts-the dainty poet to do
with murder? There must be rule of
contrarles IN authorship. as we'll az in
I dreams 80 -
At any rate, Miss Wells has con-
structed mere singularly ingenious
ana yet quite plausible plot. She has
invested the various scenes and epi
sodes st: with inscrutable mystery and
1orblddlng terror. She has made her
and lltellke. And she has scattered
! through the whole. even amid the utter
gloom and tragedy, the irrepressible
sclntlllations Of her wit, SO as to re-
lleVe what otherwise would be opprcs-
slve horror 1t is not the first mvs-
terry story that she has essaycd, but it
is thus far the best, and it is one of
the best Of the kind from any pen in q
long, long time.

much as any other volume ever written
about the war.
1t would be superhuous TO dwell
upon the charms of Mrs. Canfield's S
style. 1t is amply familiar to our
readers. For fucncy, clarity and power
to hold interest it is among the most
successful in current literature. The
Characteristic Of this work to which
rather we would draw chief attention
is the really marvellous manner in
which the author has not only looked
into and perceived, but has actually en-
tered into and made herself Il part of
the domestic and personal life of the
war-scourecd zone of France Surely
no French writer could be more under
standing or more sympathetic than this
gifted American woman. She literally
writes from the heart, and it is not
from the heart of q mere visiting OBJ
server, but from the heart of the
French people themselves.
The volume contains nearly dozen
separate sketches, varying much in
scene and motive, but all congruously
uniting to form a vital panorama Of
wartime France. 1t is we'll that we
sing and exhort "Keep the Homo Fires
Burning' over here. But this book
tells us how the home fires are kept
burning over there, where the Huns
have left cold ashes on the hearth
stone and the Boches have foully felled
the rooftrcc. it is n book Of almost in
finite pathos, but of equally pervasivc
hcroism and triumphant hope.

tlshplngle himself, to whom Mr..
Nachell recently gave a whole delight

the whole work is pervaded by the
spirit of which he is typical. 1t is a
tragic ldyl of rural England Just before
ana IN the first years of the great war,
and the influence of the war is upon it's
characters in almost every scene. The
portrayal of the speech and manners
and modes of thought of English village
folk is in Mr.. Nachell's best style, which
means that it is about as nearly perfect
as writer can we'll make it. The
humor is abundant, pervasive and spon-
taneous. The plot, if so we may call it.
IS OF the simplest description, involv-,
ing no mysteries and no surprises. but
IL IS interesting and natural
One of the most agreeable impress
SONS which the book produces is that
Oh entire sincerity. There is no thought
OF inslnuating problem or propaganda
and no saying of things just for the
sake OF saying them brilliantly. The
author has an interesting story to tell
and interesting people to describe, and
ne does so just for the sake of doing
so. There are some sad scenes and
some unpleasant occurrences, but we
see mat they were inevitable and were
introduced naturally, because thew be-
longed there. The final scene is of such
transccndant beauty that we are obliv-
iious of it's infinite pathos and sec moth

her. who marres stormy -disposi-
toned man and has to fight for his
love against. the vampire-like wiles of
his stepmother, who is younger than

theme Of Mrs. Norris's latest novel.
There is enough in the theme for a
drst-rate romance. and such a work
he auther has MADE OF it in spite of
some depiorable errors, Of which We
must presently speak plainly. The
inultitldes who were charmed with
"Marte. the UnceNquered." will find
mere lhe same fine, womanly, heroic
outlook upon life; the same skill of
characterization. the same unfailing
human sympathy that have made Mrs.
Norris = prime favorite among the
novelsts Of the day. 1t seems q pity

IS just because the book is so good
that We feel 1t a duty to protest against

1t is a commendable thing to write
about real places such as Port Wash

on-Hudson, instead Of inventing mag
mary places. But in writing about
them some verisimilitude should be
maintained. 1t is calculated to make
the judicious grieve to tell of q party

Hudson into New York and after COM

The Siege Of Sagunturn

soNNIcA. By vincentc Glasco Inancz. I2mo ~
81. Duffeld & Co.
We have frequently regretted the
little familiarity which American
readers generally enjoy with the mas.
terpieccs of modern Spanish literature
OF French and Russian works We have
had an abundance, and translations
from the Polish. Italian. Dutch and
ScandinaN ian, not TO mention German
ana Hungarian, are no strangers to
this public. But the vast, varied and
fascinating field of Spanish romance
remains almost unexplored, save by a
fortunate few. For this reason we hail
with Joy every worthy attempt which
is made to introduce Spanish litera-
iure to American notice, and especially
when this is done through the works
OF so superb master as Mr.. Ibanez.
The work before US is on theme
most fitting for Spanish romance. and
too much neglected by the world. Spain
was the scene of some of the greatest
events OF Carthaginian days, and
among them the siege of Saguntum was
one of the foremost. In writing of
that epochal performance Mr. Ibanez
did not fall into the error which was
made in the writing of the famous ro-
nance which naturally comes to mind
for comparison; in "Salammbo" the
setting, not the play, is the thing. The
actual narrative is overlaid with
sumptuous detail. In "Sonnica" the
narrative is supreme, and all the
wealth of scenery and costume is sub
ordinated to it. Moreover, while we
must remember that practically all we
know of the Carthaginians has be-.
told us by their most implacable enc
mics, there is a tone of justice in this
account of them which proves that Mr..
lbancz is able to lool, through and be-
yond partisan records and discern
much of the unwritten truth. 1t is Il
