A new confectionery store opened
its doors in the north part of the city
recently, states the Indianapolis News.
The proprietor hired a skilled candy
maker. His troubles started early.
The candy maker went on a big
spree, and in a few days the stock in
the store ran low. The proprietor went
out on a hunt for the candy maker and
finally found him and Strengthened
him up so he could work again.
But when he was ready for work the
sugar famine was on with all of its
terrors, and no sugar was obtainable.
This condition continued for several
days, and when he finally got sugar
supply the candy maker was absent
again.
The proprietor closed the doors, sold
the remaining stock and store fixtures
at auction and retired from the candy
business.

Popularity for the sunflower.

The sunfower is probably destined
to play and important part in the
economic affairs of the United States
as a substitute for linseed, states the
Christian Science Monitor. A member
of the National Paint, Oil and Varnish
association recently read a report
which declared that the cultivation of
the sunfiower for this purpose can be
made to yield gross return to the
farmer of from $50 to $36 an acre.
Everything in these days seems to be
working out to the profit of Kansas.

that it has been many years since
the ground was in such good condi-

fashioned. In certain respects II makes
you think of Baillie-Reynolds plot.
Maiden ladies of the past generation or
the one before would have delighted in
the treachery and subtle cruelty praetised
upon Grace Ingalls, by her fiance. Clare
Overcome, and his large, boisterous and
diabolical family. There are many
maiden ladies of the present day who
have the same tastes in some directions
although they have become political
leaders and business dynamos. And there
are all sorts of other people who are still
able to enjoy just such a book as this
There are, in fact, very few who fail to
find some interest in reading how a beau
tiful and forlorn girl falls into the hands
of heartess enemies and gets out again,
providing it is well written.
The very nature of the book demands
a large amount of improbability. 1t I'M
presses us first in Grace's consenting tn
marry Red" Overcome when she could
have had Andreas Dane, who had every
thing that Red did except money,
which there seemed every chance Of his
making. Everything about the Over
comes was improbable, from their house,
which had been a lunatic asylum, to
the fact that family so large and
vicious could have lived together with
out numbering each other. They realized
the suitability of the house to their needs
without getting the gruesome eonnec-
ton, but Grace got it during the
months that she languished as their
guest. The hardest thing about the book
TO understand is why Grace gave her
money to her sister at a time when she
. had already begun to feel the iron clutch
of the Overcomes about her throat. 1t
was obliging Of her to do 1t, as it not only
helped Lydia tremendously, but compi-
Gated the situation splendidly for all of
us.
An artistic but maddening fancy leads
Miss Hall to offer US in the very begin
ming of her novel the alluring character Of
Andreas Dane, and then withhold him
until the last chapter. The brief picture
of him which we have and the certainty
that Grace has not removed him from
her life as permanently as she thinks
keeps him before US all along, and when
he does return every one wants the story
to 60 right on. This is the way true
artists choose to treat US, however, and
again We are left to conjecture what part

ahead of her IN the way of novels, but
prefers for time TO give herself to
smaller ones and does it delightfully."-.
That we are on tiptoe for her first real
effort makes the reading of what she
gives us in the meantime all the more
interesting. 1t is true that in Aurora
me Magnificent there was a premontion
of what she intends to do eventually, but
she has done nothing so far at all com
mensurate with her talent.

modern in treatment, the theme is old

of another. AT least. we know that the
house of Overcome has fallen and that
whatever comes is good. Miss Hall ends
her novel with this assurance:
