TOO MUCH KINDNESS

'Ssh ! Ssh Y Mrs. Aliertone placed her finger on her lips and drew her friend quickly into the apartment and softly closed the door.
 There's reason for this!" she whis- pered Come on back into the dining room, where we dare speak out loud
 Mrs. Allertones guest looked her Harm. 'Burglarsr' she asked. .'Conspiracies? ?''
 Mrs. Ailertone shook her head. Worse" !" she said. T am being Killed with kindness That's the trouble. I dare say have the kindest neighbor in the whole city of Chicago
 How terrible r said Mrs. Allertone's guest.

You see, I was watching for you so that you wouldn't cing the upstairs bell or knock. hope she didn't hear us. She is so extremely anxious to meet all my visitors that l rarely have chance to see one without the Addition of her company.
 Yesterday when Aunt Nell came all the way in from Waukegan to have luncheon with me in this dear little home she had never seen we didn't have a mo- ment alone together. Mrs Neff heard the taxi at the door and she came right over the moment Aunt Nell got upstairs.
 "'oh, Mrs. Allertone, she said. T was afraid you had been called out of town or something. A taxi or a telegraph boy always frightensl me. I thought maybe l could help you in some way
 Thank you I replied, there's no cause for anxiety at all The taxi sim ply brought my aunt from the station. She has come to lunch
 '''Oh how nice! I know you must be delighted, Mrs AIlertone. I have heard you speak of your aunt so often and so admiringly that I am awfully glad I ran in, because really long to meet her.' "Of course I had to introduce her to Aunt Nell who was just emerging from her bedroom, where she had laid off her wraps. She was most effusivee and she named a dozen people that she thought Aunt Nell might know in Waukegan. She did all the talking and when I began tc set the table for lunch she insisted upon taking the job out of my hands.
 Why, of course Tm going to helr you she said, and then she laughingly inquired how many places she should lay. had to say three.

Nnr A souARE DEAL.

It takes the abuse Of established practices to throw a flood light upon conditions which ought not to exist and to set ln motion efforts to right the wrongs.
 Perhaps this can be no better illus trsted than by the case which has come GO light in Chicago. where the city hired nve building and real estate experts to do some work for the city. They did whzz was asked of them, probably in 1he usual short time that public service is rendered. and they put in a bill to ths city for s2,T42,00O. Even though that meant over a half million apiece they got their money but when it came to imposing income taxes in that iis- trict it was quite natural that an !n- uuisitive federal officer should inquire why these experts were. not including ihe monezs they received from the city tionE with the money they received ,rom other sources in their income tax reports

THE COAL COMMISSION.

As members of the commission to ss. cure the facts surrounding the coal in dus1y in this country, President Hard ing has named men who are qualified to successfully accomplish the object sought. They are men of recognized ability and men in whom the country will have confidence. It must be re- garded as an impartial body whose sole object will be to meet the requirements of national welfare. and through such recommendations as it will make to pre- vent such conditions as developed dur ing the recent and previous coal strikes,
 Inasmoch as the commission has but three months in which to carry on it's .n- vestigations in the bituminous field 1t is to be expected that it will devote it's first efforts in that direction. leaving he inquiry into the anthracite field. to co he later
 Whenever trouble has developed in the coal fields the consumer has always been obliged to suffer Fixing things up amongst themselves has been to the detriment of the public. Efforts to bring about reforms have been confronted with long established conditions which stand in the way. Inefficiency and over- manning are always pointed out and de spite the repetition of coal strikes and the embarrassment to the coal consur- CTS nothing has been done that corrects the underlying trouble. The need has ben recognized but efforts in that direc- ton have stopped as soon as strike set dement's were reached. Hopes art placed in this fact finding cpmmissi F to so disclose conditions that the puhli, will not be placed at the mercy c either miners or operators in the future The probe should go to the bottom aat leave nothing undisclosed. 5

 Remarkable Gratitude.
 He is tender hearted. He says so himself. One evening recently he was driving in the country when he noticed rabbit sitting in the road apparently dazed by his automobile lights. Fearing he would run over it, he stopped the car, and taking it gently by the ears placed it by the roadside, expecting it to hop away into the neighboring fields but instead according to his story, it gave running jump and landed in the car. Now the rabbit will not. leave him out of gratitude, so he believes. for having saved it's life.

 Cappy Btcks Retires is the title of Pe- ter B.

It's easy to understand | even in the first few pages of the book, | why Cappy Kicks has become so well known, He's levable, and human and full of quick wit and quicker surprises. and he has an uncanny knock for get , ting himself mixed up zbreathlessly gripping plots.

NEW HOOKS

Cdrnac's Folly. By SIT Gilbert Parker.
 Illustrated by Walter Lauderback.
 Cloth, $50 pages, 12 mo. Published
 by J. B. Lippinc6tt Company, Phila-
 delphia. Price s2.
 Sir Gilbert Parker is known as a writer of intensely interesting Canadian stories. Nha of the many readers of his dramatic romances have not been thrilled by his vivid and realistic pi:- lures of that country? He makes his readers feel that strange and fascinat- ing old world atmosphere which per- vades this section of America alone. In his new novel, his pen has lost none of it's power of description which so char aeterized his previous stories. He pre- sents. the outstanding elements of TO- nance and. drama in such way as to bring forth-their utmost power.
 His latest novel tells the story Of Car nae Grier, son of John Grier, Cana dian lumber King Between these two men there exists stronge barrier, which, unknown to either is deeper even than the two mems wide divergence If taste. By strange piece of folly, Car nac's career is almost wrecked and his love for beautiful Junia Shale brought to naught. While Junia wonders and waits, Carnac struggles desperately against the consequences of his act and also un- known to himself against fam fly heritage of hate He thus presents tragic figure of misfortune, yet through his innate strength and fneness remains undismayed by diversity. In the climax strange truths are revealed. Carnac's mother is avenged and his mysterious paternal antipathy is ex- plained. French Quebec with it's vivid humanity and the swirling river with it's fighting, striving, heroic lumber msn, form the vigorous background of this story of singular interest.
