And the stuff he writes is good, fine. It appeals to ivn Immense circle ot readers not alone In all ovor the land. tills Lately Uncle Walt has been writing a series ot book leviews which are published each Sunday in the Kansas. City Star. Book reviews are, as a rule, mighty dry reading, and tell tho reader little of what he wishes to know.

Uncle Walt's book reviews are "different." He writes in a breezy way, mixing In' comments on the latest cowboy novel and present day popular writers, with gage remarks about the masters days long gone, hitting Borne idol over the head with a thwack of adjectives and doing it, it seems, for the meio pleasure of making his renders fait up and take notice, while a little further on ho brings out an obscure name of some writer oC whom we never heard, and praises him up to the SlKKUOlITS Oi'ON JJOSTQN The "canned kiss," a diversion which Is harmless enough but exciting, comes from Boston, tho Chicago 1'oat.

TO OUT. 1 WITH I'll 10 DOG. Denver, March 0 Jefferson County Swedes will never think of retribution but that the thought of a little jcllow dog with an ignited ttk'k of dynamite lied to its tail will force itself upon their minds, according to I. S. T.

Gregg, of Golden. Mi. former local ofFicc iiibpeilor, was at the federal building yesterday and told what happened to the two Swedes and the dog. The Swedes are minors and the other day thej were rooking baked benns a niile from their cabin. When tlie beans weio done, they icmoved the pot and placed it under a tree to cool.

A htray dog came along. It was yellow and looked like a mongiel Also it looked hungry." The dog sniffed the air and decided that tho diiection to follow was that which led him to the pot ot haked beans It sniffed the appetis- ing aroma emanating fiom the pot for an instant and then stuck its muzzle inte U. The beans were hot and the intiuder's lips were burnuil. The dog yelped with pain. The Swedes didn't like the noise.

It added soreness of feeling toward him for presuming to taste their beans without their permission. They discussed tho best way to punish the dog. One suggested that they tie a stick of dynamite to the dog's tail, light it and then watch the fun from a distance, llii; gave ap- pioval. One Swede tied the dynamite to the dog's tail and then tied the dog to a tree. lie lighted the fuse.

The dog judged by their anxiety to get away that all was "not well. Anyway the thing lied Io his tail and the that camp, fiom it annoyed him. With a frantic Jetk he tore himself loose from 3ioniliwUo.ii: For commissioner of Emp.oria City, at tho primary election, March 12, 1D1U.
