CARDIGAN. By Robert W. Chambers.
A brilliant romance of the opening days of the Revolution, depicting life
on what was then the border in the state of New York. Scenes with the
powerful tribes of the Six Nations, and a thrilling description of the
13attle of Lexington. Contains a love story, told with great force and
charm.
BEFORE THE DAWN. Ay Joseph A. AHshcIer.
A powerful story of the Civil War, describing the last days of the Con
federacy in Richmond, vividly depicting conditions as the world's great
est war was drawing to a close. Contains a strong love story, and the
mighty struggle of Lee and Clrant in the wilderness passes through
its pages.
THE REDS OF THE MIDI. By Felix Gras.
A story of the Trench Revolution, the greatest event in the history of
the modern world. A peisant boy who marches with the tremendous
battalion of death, the Marseilles column, tells how they overthrew the
French monarchy and achieved the conquest of Kuropo. The love
story is of singular delicacy.
THE CARDINAL'S ROSE. By Vai Tassel SutpKcn.
This is the last touch of modernity. The hero wanders into a continu
ous performance in New York City. He sees a scene in a biograph
which arouses his curiosity and which leads him into a remarkable series
of adventures in a remote part of the world and to the winning of the
hand of a princess.
THE BLAZED TRALI. By Stewart Edward White.
Mr. White has opened an absolutely new field, and he is now perhaps
the most famous of all the younger American writers. This is a story
of the great northwestern logging camps, and tells how the character of
a powerful man of action was luiilt up and how it was finally softened
by the influence of a woman's love.
In addition to these stories the TH R ICE-A-WhEK WORLD
is in negotiation for others equally as good. Tiik Tiiuick-a-Wkkk

The Clerpynmii,x IIoiiliyliorN,
Visitor to a quaint little church In
England observe a curious relic In the
shape of a high stool with a leather
top like a saddle. The parish clurlc
shows not a little pride in this relic and
tells Its story with relish. During the
seventeenth and eighteenth centuries
the country parsons wore accustomed
to spend much of their time hunting
with their country squires. Often
times the fox got more attention than
the sermon on the following Sunday.
Such was tho case with the parson who
left the saddle stool behind him as n
relic of the days of fox hunting par
sons, lie was a good deal more at
homo In tho saddle than In tho pulpit,
bo In order to Introduce some of the
life and spirit Into his discourses which
he felt while in the hunting Hold, tho
reverend gentleman had this saddlo
stool mado. It was placed In tho pul
pit before tho parson mounted the
stops. Onco nBtrido this hobby the par
son was nblo to reach a much higher
dogreo of enthusiasm and cloqueneo
than ho could have unmounted.
A Dlnconccrteil Committee.
Ferdinand Ilassler, the father of the
United States coast survey system,
was onco waited upon by a committee
of congress sent to inquire Into tho
progress of tho work. The committee
reached New York and wended their
way upstairs to tho room where Ilass
ler was drilling his classes and prepar
ing them for tho work. Ilassler, who
allowed no Intruders, met them at tho
door and inquired their business. They
nnswored that they had come to in
vestigate. "What part of tho work do
you wish to inspect?" inquired the
Swiss mathematician. Congress had
no definite Idea on that point. "Then
you had bettor go and find out," re
turned Ilassler as ho shut tho door In
the faces of tho astonished commit
tee. Tho committee looked at each
other and on second sober thought con
cluded that Ilassler was about right
nnd quietly wended their way down
stairs and back to Washington.
A ToiicI'n Cunnlnsr.
A scientific Journal tells this story
of a toad's cunning: A brood of chick
ens was fed with moistened meal In
saucers, nnd when tho dough soured a
llttlo it attracted largo numbers of
flies. An observant toad had evidently
noticed this, nnd every day toward
evening ho would make his appearance
In the yard, hop to a saucer, climb In
and roll over until ho was covered with
meal, having dono which he awaited
developments. Tho flies, enticed by tho
smell, soon swnrmod around tho schem
ing batraohian, and whenever one pass
ed within two Inches or so of his nose
his tongue darted out and the fly dis
appeared. The plan worked so well
that tho toad made a regular business
of it.
Fever nml Foortm.
In typhoid fever tho Intestines nro
tho seat of ho trouble, and all solid
food" should be debarred. Hero nutri
tious broths and liquids are needed,
but no meat should be given until the
temperature has been normal for sev
eral days. In scarlet fever avoid all
nitrogenous foods, because the kidneys
and skin are congested, and those tiro
tho organs that excrete nitrogen. Their
work should bo lessened, not Increased.
For this reason any of tho legumes,
beans, peas or lentils should not be
used. Hroth mado from them would be
most disastrous, while beef or mutton
broth, which is loss nutritious, can be
readily assimilated.
A Good Mower.
A worthy danio of Dundee, Scotland,
In order to keep down her gas account
was in tho habit of blowing down the
pipes, thus reversing tho hands of tho
registering dial of tho meter. All went
well until a now Inspector camo. After
examining the meter he ciphered long
and earnestly. At length the old lady
anxiously exclaimed, "A'm no' tao liae
a big nccoont this tlmo, am I?" "No,
mem," said tho inspector. "It's the
other way aboot. Tho company's owin
you tuppenco. You havo surely been
blowing ven-o hard this time."
POWERS OF CONGRESS.
The Aslec Index recently said: "Mat
ters that concern the people of a country
or a stale fir territory should be submitted
to them and receive the approval or dis
approval of the ballot. The voters ol Now
Mexico are the ones lo decide the joint
statehood question, and not a few olHco
holdors, who reprcsont in their own right
less than a hundred votes."
No doubt this is true, says the Albuquer
que Citizen, in theory, and mhst of the
people of New Mexico are anxious that it
be true in fact; but unfortunately theory
and fact may seperate on that very point.
Here are the facts: New Mexico and Ariz
ona consist largely of conquered territory,
and what was not conquered was bought;
so that neither of them belongs to itself,
but both are property of the nation which
conquered and bought them. Then also
in the treaty of peace which acknowledged
the conquest, the future of the section was
placed entirely in the hands of congress,
the agent and representative of the con
quering and purchasing nation. Congress
alone has the disposition of the question,
and need not ask any questions of the peo
ple either in New Mexico or Arizona.
As congress separated Arizona and New
Mexico into two territories, without asking
the people anything about it: so congress
can at her own will and pleasure continue
the existence ol the two territories, can
make th-jin into one territory, can make
them into two states with any change
of boundaries deemed advisable, can make
them into one state, or can make either a
state and continue the other a territory;
and in any of the possible actions, congress
lias no necessity to ask the people of Ariz
ona or of New Mexico anything about it.
Congress can command or may invite us
at her own pleasure. Which she will do
remains to be seen.
We agree with the sentiment expressed
by the Index, and with the truth of the de
ductions of the Citizen. And, while we
believe the statehood question should be
submitted to the people of the territories
to settle, as to whether joint or single state
hood is preferable, we fear that if some of
our newspapers and ultra enthusiastic pol
itcians don't desist from calling every con
gressman a pirate, who does not meet their
statehood measurements, that the course
as outlined by the Citizen may be adopted,
and we may be disposed of as Congress
sees lit to dispose of us; whether it lie sin
gle or double bleesedness, or whether we
be sent back under the table as whining
wards of the government, to remain a ter
ritory until we are strong enough to kick in
the door of the Capitol and force congress
ional action.
We do not believe it is wise or correct
policy to malign those through whom only,
relief is possible. A milder course would
likely be more available. It is apparent that
the sentiment of that congressional com
mittee, who visited us recently, is opposed
to statehood of any sort, and we will be
extremely fortunate if we overcome their
inlluence before the end of the next congress.
