Hopkinson Smith, Charles Srrilmer's Sons, is one of the most delightful and readable novels that has appeared in a long time.

Tbe characters are so clearly drawn and so human, and tbe descriptions are so charming and artistic that on.e feels that "Felix O'Day" is worth more than a single cureless reading. Geutle and rambling of style, rather than powerful and Intense, the book still holds the interest easily from beginning to end. Tlie scene is laid In New York, where Felix O'Day, a stranger from England, whom we soon find to be Sir Felix O'Day, has come in seah of his young wife, a childish girl who has run away with another man. Felix, who is penniless when the story opens, becomes, through circumstances and indeed choice, the assistant in a little antique shop. He finds a home with the Clearys, Irish poopln, who soon love him dearly for his simplicity and kindness, and Kitty Spirit lake and Okobojl.

The mar of it, the immense sorrow of it, is in all our hearts under all our smiles. We believe that war will be averted. There were other times In our history when it was not averted.

That money was loaned principally to two classes of men and womennative tourists of great or moderate wealth, and naturalized Americans who had scraped together enough money to revisit their home lands. Now a curious fact has developed. The naturalized citizens of small means have practically all repaid their debt to the government, but the rich tourists have In large part refused to pay, and the government is commencing suit to collect many hundretls of thousands of dollars. Among these rich pikers are 200 members of old New England families, representing what sometimes passes for simon-pure Americanism, and.

The valley and region contiguous is gemmed with groves of timber native to this part of the state, and the prairie is dotted with planted shelterbelts, making the whole look like the garden of the Lord for beauty.

Within eighty rods of the knob is a grove of white oaks, the only considerable number of that variety In this part of Iowa so far as I know. And a few miles to the north are a few sugar maples, trees very uncommon on the Wisconsin drift. About hlf a mtlo southwest of the knob Is a body of water covering two or three acres, called Dead Man's lake, bordered with low growing timber where the vlreo sings and nests In sacred solitude. In that lake are three kinds of water lilies, one of which Is not known to exist anywhere else in Iowa. How it got there Is an Interesting spcoulation.

The Times ennnot accuse the Evening Post of playing a small game of republican politics, nor the Jour-Dai with voicing an unpatriotic view of national interests to further the republican cause. But that Is not all. For three years the president has gone to congress without the least regard for the republican vote, relying more than any predecessor of either party on the power of the party caucus to Jani through the administration measures. Now, when his party Jority is reduced and party defection is feared, why should he be taken seriously when he comes to republican leaders with soft words about country above party.

The Times begs the whole question. The Times knows the republican lead planks, sheets of corrugated iron, which had been turned Into sieves by of prize courts, and none Is recognized In International law.
