AS Mrs. Norris says, 1.-THE Flaggs
were more than a family. they
were an institution" They had
all the solid American traditions
at their finger tips. They were
proud of themselves and their
country. Penelope Fitzpercy was
nobody and a shiftless nobody
to boot.
Her father vanished whenever
he felt like it. Her mother wrote
sentimental poems and a daily col
umn for a newspaper. Her brother
belonged to the great unemployed.
Her married sister represented
San Francisco's Bohemia. In
short, Pen was what the Flaggs
called IAN undesirable" Yet, Pen
married into the family, politely
refused to be divorced with ali
mony, and did her fighting Irish
best to redeem bad bargain.
At first she succeeded, then to
her dismay she discovered that her
husband inherited all the FIlagg
weaknesses and none of their
strength. Disillusioned, she turned
to his nearest kinsman for COM
fort and in so doing lost her
heart. But not, fortunately, her
reason, On one side was freedom
on the other the Flaggs and Pen
elope chose the Flaggs. And in
the end even the most invulner-
able Flagg became her friend.
Just how, you may prefer to find
out for yourself. The surprise is
all in the ending, the rest of the
story is true to the popular Nor
ris tradition.

Old and New
Prophecies

1.-THE Story of Prophecy" by
Henry James Forman has the
breadth of a book that is cerA
tain to have a handsome popu,
lar appeal.
Everyone in some way or other
is interested in getting q little
peek into the future. Some scorn
any real effort and let their at
tent1on to prophecy resolve to ~
guess it's going to rain this week
end" or "I'll bet Landon is GO
ing to be elected in November. /"
Others, however, range from those
who go to fortune tellers for en-
tertainment. putting some secret
hope in finding out something
to those who really watch the
signs, listen to the winds in the
trees, gaze at the stars in the
night and live accordingly.
It is with all these people that
Mr.. Forman has an audience. Mr..
Mr.. Forman is well known as the
author of "Our Movie Made Chill
dren." In the volume on prophecy
he includes recorded cases from
the very early times up to the
present day. 1t is illustrated with
old prints and photographs.
Perhaps one Of the features that
makes it so interesting is that he
includes the old and new prophr
ecies about the events forecast for
the next few years.

Well, sir, here is something diff
ferent in a mystery story to keep
you aware of the fact that even
in the long night hours evening
there are delights that are worth
while.
Todd Downing presents another
case for Hugh Rennert of the
customs service to unravel.
It begins when a freight train
is wrecked revealing that a skele-
ton believed to have been dug up
by university archaeological ex.
petition in Mexico is a present
day specimen with a bullet hole
in its skull.
Mr.. Rennert, who by now is
quite used to finding strange
things below the border, gets go
ing to a lava bed where he runs
into the hooting owls, to say
nothing of the Faudree sisters.
AS is to be expected, Rennert be-
gins to get closer to the truth of
this amazing series of events
when another murder occurs.
Plugging away in a style
known only to Rennert, he is able
at last to close the case after he
has found a cryptic notation on
the back of an old envelope and
another skeleton.

Inc 1dnl11y lie OF ner IOWn.
Around the theme OF John Robb'S
family was woven a charming
story. She places it in the set
ting of present day Charleston.
Not the Southern city of old. And
in her own way Mrs. Ripley strives
to explain to a world that has
become little too South conscious
of late just what has become of
the Old South with it's moonlight
and roses.
John Robb had six children.
Three boys and three girls. John
thought they belonged as a back
ground to life where nothing
should happen to jar the perfect
outline of the picture. He thought
of his children growing up quite
casually and normally without
much thought as to their individ-
ual tastes or their individual wants
or dislikes.
It is on this mistake of John
Robb's that Mrs. Ripley bases her
story. For it seems that the six
children did not have in their ma
lures anything to anchor them to
picture of Charleston as their
father saw it.
Each of the six had his or her
own ideas about people and things
very definite ideas at that, and
so, as Mrs. Ripley has rightfully
entitled her story, John Robb's
was a Crowded House,
It is Mrs. Ripley's first novel
and with it she makes a bid for
the first rank Of Southern novel
lists.

 Surveying the present trend of commercial relations with other countries, point stands out pre- -eminently Our exports rising gradually, but our import trade is making larger gains In no other of the past decade did it increase by large percentage in 1895. This fact will be mourned by those who regard every import in favor of the foreigner" and defeat for the United States But since trade is necessarily twoway process uness it is financed with borrowed money), and since our larger purchases abroad reflect primarily greater demand for materials and semi manufacturers the part of American industrialists who need such supplies in order to expand their production, the increase of our imports is welcome trend
 Preliminary figures indicate that purchases abroad in 1885 valued at $2O00O0000O compared with American exports of $2300000OOO This left gap of S300000000 for foreign customers to bridge in order to settle their trade with us Shipping service performed for us by vessels of registry immigrant remittances sent abroad and ex- pendiures made in foreign countries by American tou-

MONDAY, JANUARY 27, 1886

Adverse aspects rule today which should be time for energetic ac- tion. The stars presage sensational events that will affect the stock market. Business will be intensely stimulated along several channels.
 While there is a good sign for entering into new partnerships and for signing important contracts judgment may not be reliable. Too much optimism may follow the long financial depression.
 Neptune is in a place presaging losses to United States commerce. Storms at sea may cause shipwrecks attended by loss of life. Sudden cessation of the war in Ethiopia is prognosticated and this is to be followed by trade agree ments profitable to the Unit d States. Gain of territory is to be Italy's compensation for suspend ing hostilities, with added popular ity for Mussolini among his sub jects. Many changes, however, are presaged for Italy.
 It is well to postpone the actual starting of any enterprise today Persons are likely to be too sanguine under this rule of the stars.
 Selfishness may be prevalent in forms, since greed is indicated as ruling trait among persons who have suffered privations or losses.
 Girls may expect persistent suit ors, for sensational influences will be strong, especially among uni versity students.
 Persons whose birthdate it is have the augury of year of fairly good fortune, but perplexities are indicat- ed. Disappointment and deceptions are foretoid.
 Children born on this day prob ably will be strong of purpose and exceedingly energetic Subjects of this sign may be imaginative and yet practical. They should be wise ly directed in youth.
 Samuel Gompers, labor leader, was born on this day 1850. Others who have celebrated 1t as birth day include Wolfgang Amadeus Mo- zart, pianist and composer, 1766; Emperor William IT., the former Kaiser, 1859.

But are they? Is it not apparent that MT. Fletcher and his discredted 1892 COP committee is being subordnated by the ndustriasts who in previ- ous campaigns were content simply to supply the funds?
 These gentry may continue to bulldoze their stock holders and attempt to browbeat their employees after the manner of Mark Hanna and Matt Quay-they have already naugurated those tactics of the previous century-but Franklin D.

DEMANDS BILL OF PARTICULARS

Chairman Fletcher of the Republican National Committee characterized the Presidents message as "a challenge to a straw man to submit to gagged and subservent Congress the favorite sociastic of the New Deal.'
 Millions of Americans listened to the message They know the nature of the challenge the President hurled at his enemies. He demanded of them positive rather than negative action an abandonment of their con- tnuouS resort to generalties such contained the so-caed political platform of the National As socation of Manufacturers few weeks ago in New York.
