the result is a little patchy. Conrad, In
spite of Barnes eneomiastic preface, is
not q perfect novel: there are three or
four places where the interest flags, and
this is due to the authors inability to see
the story clear and see it whole. There
is point toward the middle where he
seems TO have lost hold of the threads and
foundered about for a new start. Per-
haps this is due to his interest In char
actes and situation, which in the best Of
his stories dominate plot Barrie says:
"There is no such thing as plot in his
books
In tragic life, God lcot,
No villain need bel Passions spin the
plot,
and indeed he is a writer of comedies al
ways. tho tragedy turks at all the corners.
He has not found plot in life and so it
cannot come into his books; if he intro
duced it he would certainly be blown up
by it"
think that Merrick found it difficult
in the case of Conrad to keep his char
acters busy through the 260 pages of the
book and relied too much on the psyche
logical processes Of his people. If he had
been content to dispense with the plot
altogether, he might have been more sue
cessful.
These remarks are occasioned rather
more by Barnes praise than by my own
unstimulated impressions. l feel 1 must
put in word on my own account.
But 1 am none the less grateful to Sir
James and his eo7admirers, but more par
ticularly of course to Merriek. If rank

OLD GRANT COUNTY MAN
FINDS UNIQUE IRON MINE.

H. L. Browning, a native of Cass-
Vile where he was born 64 years ago
has been visiting friends in Grant
and Crawford counties for the past
several weeks Mr.. Browning now
resides in western Oregon where he
owns several mining properties. For
the past IS years he has resided in
Oregon and this is his first trip home
The Herald man was interested to
learn that he has located valuable
deposit of metallic iron go feet down
and about ten miles from klamath
Falls, Oregon. The iron was fused
by volcanic action and instead of ex-
listing as iron salts or pyrites, lies in
a strata of pure iron fragments four
feet in thickness. This is very unus-
ual. The writer spent a year on his
fathers ranch in that vicinity and
knows the country very well.
Mr.. Browning's sister, Mrs. Aurora
McLimans, aged Sc, lives at Steuben
Crawford county, and he came east to
pay her visit.

Outside election reports show that
the Socialists were whipped to a
standstill at Milwaukee where the
non-partisan candidates were elected
by big majorities. Just shows what
can be done when old party lines are
forgotten for common purpose.

ter remaining a year in the dry col
umn. Plattev Vile went dry by ten
votes Edgerton went wet by Ia
votes Beloit went wet by 200 major
ity Madison went wet.
In Chicago big bill thompson was
reelected mayor after hot fight. His
plurality was 1900. The Switzer
and Hoyne vote together was nearly
100000 in excess of the thompson
vote-small comfort to those who
think little of big bill.
