Small, Maynard Boston nave in press ine Dreyius story, a short book about the Dreyfus case, by Richard W. Hale, a Boston lawyer. The books now available on the subject ar the work ot avowed partisans of Drey ius, ana are longer man most persons, perhaps, care to read through. Mr. Hale has tried to put in hanuy compass enough of the broad, general facts to make a complete and easily read story of the case.

He has tried to answer concisely tha question "What is it all About He has also given, without technical language, a little explanation of the French law bearing on the case, something which has not before been done for the general reader, but which, nevertheless, will do more than any thing else to explain the complications the trials, re trials and debates of the last two years. "At the Court of Catherine the Great." the very interesting historical novel by Fred Whisbaw, that was published about two months ago, is to be drama tized.

Morette is a school teacher by profession, but has studied his subject carefully and has produced that very rare book, a not improbable detectivi story. Frederick A.

New York, publishers. We ate indebted to John W. Book waiter for a copy of his work on "Si beria and Central Asia," illustrated from photographs taken by the author. Material for this very interesting and instructive volume was gathered in a trip made by Mr. Bookwalter, through th? countries which he describes during the summer and autumn of last year.

The text of the work appeared originally in several western paperg, but in view of the increasing importance of the eastern question, Air. Book waiter considered the letters of such value that he decided to put them in uouk lonii, muH preserving inem in much better shape than if left tn the a files of a newspaper. The book will prove a valuable addition to any library." Mr. Bookwalter last year mad3 a trip along the Siberian railroad anl later another trip on he Trans railroad as far as Samarcand.

THE RIGHT OF WAY "It Is ridiculous," said the president of the Great Southwestern railway," that we should be blocked by the obstinacy of one man in our endeavor to build this branch line. A casuul observer would certainly suppose that the executive department of this company had sufficient brains to overcome such an obstacle as this. The situation is simple enough. Here is our road and here are the mountains, in which the new strikes have been made. To develop them machinery must be hauled in and ore hauled out.

That means a branch line. One man owns all the land mesa and foothills between the railroad and the mines. AVe must cross his ranch, but he declines to sell a right of way. He is a pioneer and is bull headed. He says the country was getting along without railroads when he came there and that it can get along without them still.

We must overcome his objections. But how? AVe offer to pay him well for all damage done, and he replies by suggesting that our grading outfit bring along one flat car of coffins. He is certainly a contrary individual. Have I stated the case correctly?" "You have," said the second vice president. The president arose and picked up his silk hat.

"All right," he said. "AVe must get across that ranch some, way." A cloud of dust was coming down the road. Theophilus Smith carefully watched it for a moment and then turned Bucyrus among the bowlders by the roadside. Bucyrus was his mule. Just ahead of the dust cloud appeared a frantic horse tearing wildly down the road toward him.

Now and then he could catch a glimpse of a swaying buckboard and a young lady clinging to the seat. Theophilus, who was a cartful young man, rnit his brier wood pipe in the inside pocket of his jacket drew his sombrero clown tightly upon his head and then disinterestedly watched the approaching ruaway. As the dust cloud and its contents passed Bucyrus wheeled and they, too. went flying clown the road Through sand and over bowlders they went horse, buckboard, mule ami dust. Excuse me, miss," said Theophilus as he came alongside and reached for the bit of the running horse.

"Pleasant day, is it not?" He gripped the bridle hard, pulled sideways and backward, and Bucyrus cheer tuliy sat down to the occasion and slid. There was more dust, and then they stop ped. Theophilus rubbed some of the dirt from his eyes and raised his sombrero to the girl in the buckboard. She looked at him with wide open blue eves. "I am very sorry," he said politely, "to stop you so rudely merely to ask you question, but will you kindly pardon me and inform me where Colonel Snortally lives?" The young lady's lin ouivered, and, in stead of renlvins she hurst into tears.

Then, recovering from her embarrassment ann rngnt, she drew a deep breath ami smiled faintly, and as the color came back to her cheeks she answered: 1 am the colonel's daughter, and I will giauiy show you the way home. i neopmlus spoke a few words to the still restless horse, handed the reins up to the young lady and led Bucyrus to the rear of the buckboard. to which he tied him. "I suppose," said the colonel's daughter as they started up the road, "that 1 should thank you for saving my life and my father's best buckboard. Really 1 thank thank you very much.

If you will stop at the house for dinner. I will try to snow my gratltudo with some tortillas and fri jolcs of my own cooking." The debt of gratitude is on my side and not yours," Theophilus answered. "I am search of work as a cowboy, and I cannot but hope that your acquaintance is an auspicious omen." Cowboys don't talk like that, she said, a little sharply, eyeing him in surprise. "You're not lifted for a range man anyway. Cattlemen don't ride mules.

Papa says there is only one animal more ridiculous, stupid and idiotic than a mule and that is tiie man who rides one." Bin your father doesn't know Bucy rus. "Nor his owner," she rejoined, laughing. They stooped in front of a long, low adobe ranchhouse. with deen set windows and doors. Ivy circled the windows and climbed to the eaves.

A few Mrs. some all bine gums and a ekizen Wilms stood the front yard. The house wn set back, and the veranda that surrounded it was half hidden in the green of orange trees. A stream from the mountains ran through the orc hard in the rear, its course morkeci by a line ot cottonwoods and willows that broke the monotony of the otherwise treeless mesa. On the other side of the creek and at some distance from the house were the corrals and stables of tho ranch.

The young lndy stepped lightly to the ground. "1 will call pupa," sho said. A few minutes later a tall man, heavy set, with a face like the full moon in harvest time, his scanty looks somewhat grizzled with the first snowfall of the winter of life, came swinging down the walk with great strides. "How air ye!" he shouted before reaching the gate. "Glory trills me ye ketcheel that son of satan thnr jest in time.

I'm mighty glad to meet ye." He seized Theophilus' hands, and Theophilus tried to look pleased. "Jack! shouted Colonel Snortally. A dusty cowboy with a sombrero on tho back of his head sauntered around the corner of the house. "Take that hoss out beyond thar an shoot him! Come in, Mr. er" "Smith." "Dinner'll be ready by and by.

Whar'd that beast come from?" he added, pointing at Bucyrus. "He's my mule," answered Theophilus. "you don't say so! 5' posed ye know'd better 'n that. Mules hain't no place on this ranch. Can't find a greaser to give him to?" "Bucyrus is no common mule." said his ownrr calmly.

"He knows more than any horse you ever saw. And he can run too. 1 his last remark amused the colonel so mightily that he sat down on the porch step an laughed heartily. A mule that could run! "I never yet clapped eyes on mule that could ketch a yearlln calf in a fair race. Must be a slow kentry ye grow'd up in, young man." The colonel wiped his eyes and chuckled.

"Stay! Of course ye'll stay if yo want er," said Colonel Snortally cordially. "Yc kin have yer pick of jobs, an ef ye must make a holy show of that mule we'll per vide the necessary accessories." "AVell, if I stay," said the defender of mules determinedly, "I'll show you one mule that can run. Theophilus staid. He was handy with the lariat, rode a horse like a native and a mule a great deal better. He evidently understood all the marks and deeps of the bovine character, and very shortly won that for himself which he could not for his mule the colonel's respect.

When Bucyrus would head off a skillful stam peeler. Colonel Snortally would grumble something about fools rushin in, and when he would dodge a beligerent steer he would growl something about a "fool for luck." On the subject of mules the colonel and Theonhilus continued to dis agree. They argued the question morning. noon and night. The colonel pointed out the bad qualities of the mule.

Theophilus grew eloquent over the animal virtues. lilory smiled, but took no part in tne dts cussion which resulted in the famous race at Crag Corner a race that is still mem orable throughout all of the Poncho Basin country. The colonel brought out a long legged mustang that he had purchased across the border the year before. This mustang was a sad deceiver and had lightened the pocket of many a cowboy who had backed a nomo animal against the imported stock. A light weight Mexican rode him.

A few minutes later Bucyrus ambled forth, wearing that surprised look of a mule when he is but half awakened from a sweet dream of peace with plenty of barley hay in it. Judge Arkairsaw West officiated as starter and judge. All the inhabitants of tho Basin were on hand to see the race, and even old man Johnson stopped his sheep shearing and came from over the range with all his hands to enjoy the holiday. At the start the mustang ran away from Bucyrus, and at the quarter there was room enough for a thrashing machine between them. The crowd laughed and cheered.

For some reason Glory did not smile, anl when tne animals reached the half there was a change. Bucyrus seemed to remember that he was neither asleep nor working for the government. He began to run. At the last quarter there was silence, for the crowd was holding its breath. The mustang and Bucyrus came down the homestretch, and Bucyrus passed under the wire something more than an ear ahead.

That night Theophilus showed a woeful lack of good taste. He ostentatiously reviewed the merits of the mule family and of Bucyrus in particular. The colonel sat in fiery silence and chewed the. cud of bitter reflection, but finally, when Theophilus wound up by declaring that Bucyrus could outrun the Overland limited from Crag's Corner to the mountain road crossing, a distance of a little over a mile, Colonel Snortally arose in his wrath and swore. "I'll bet ye anything ye want that yer wall eyed apology for a hoss can't do anything of the kind," he said.

"Will you bet my pick of any hundred unimproved acres on your ranch against Theophilus. "Sartinly," said the colonel, who, deep down in his heart, hid a liking for Bucyrus. "All right," said Theophilus. "If you say so, we will settle it tomorrow going west." The colonel said so, and went to bed. By the light of the stars that night a man rode hurriedly down to Crag's Corner, the nearest railroad station, and before dawn rode as hurriedly back to the ranch again.

The next day was another day of excitement in the Basin. The rumor of the novel race spread swiftly. That is why Ike AVilliams heard, way up in Hocky Gulch, that Colonel Snortally had bet his 40.000 acre ranch against a herd of mules that a certain swift animal of that kind could not beat the Overland limited in a ten mile i race. The wagon rood ran for miles along the railroad track, so Bucyrus was not hadl capped. The race was an even one up the last 50 yards, went Bucyrus, by a tre mendous spurt shot ahead and passed the crossing with 20 feet of daylight between nimselt and the engine.

But there are wiseacres in tho Basin who shake their heads when telling of that wonderful race and hint that the engineer was half asleep. coionei tinoriuuy was a good loser, and he cheerfully invited TheoDhilus out tho next day to choose his 100 acres. He was not the less cheerful becauso Theophilus the night before hud made him a Dresent of Bucyrus. Theophilus proved an amazing chooser. He took a narrow strip of hind running from the corner up to AVar dcr's canyon, at the foot of the mountains.

To the colonel's jesting about his choice he said something about it making a good race track. 1 About a week later Theophilus was enjoying one evening a quiet after dinner smoke on the veranda. He was at peace with the world, when Colonel Snortally came up the walk. The colonel's face was like the sun shining red through a thundercloud. He was too much agitatPd to speak for a minute, but when he did begin to talk his words were, to the point.

From his expressions one might gather that he was perturbed by the fact that Theonhilus had sold a certain hundred acres of land a)! a right of way to the Great Southwestern Railway company. Colonel Snortally finished by declaring his intention of removing from the scene a stranger who had taken him in, and therewith drew his revolver. There was a rustle of a dress, a low cry, and Glory was sobbing, with her face on Theophilus' shoulder. "Don't do it, colonel, unless you feel compelled to do it." said Theophilus, rising with one arm about Glory, "and unless you want to make Glory a widow. AVe were married two days ago." Colonel Snortally' face grew whitp rind the revolver slipped from his grasp.

Glory was the dearest of all to him. The president of the Great Southwestern Railway company looked across tho street and down seven stories to a certain plobian sign. Then he arose and picked up his cane and silk hat. "Well." he said, "we won, after all. That was cleverly done cleverly done." "Yes," said the second vice president, "but the attacking force lost heavily, for the young man from my otfice who engineered the deal has married the colonel's daughter, made peace with the colonel, and at the last report was laying out a town at tho terminus of our projerted branch and selling corne lots."

Somebody has said that the test judg; of the American table is the swill man. implying that the ordinary American family throws away so much of what Is placed on the table that the gatherer of swill knows just how the kitchen is conducted. Now, while I am not inclined to be so radical as the man I have quoted, I do know that the waste of many an American family would feed in luxury many an old world family of equal numbers. To the eyes of a European the bread and other things that are recklessly dumped into the waste bucket seem sufficiently good to be used in preparing delicacies that would be appetizing. It is not just to say that the Yankea housewife is wasteful, but better to say that she wastes because she does not learn how to make good use of the lift overs.

The subject of leftover is broad that space here will only permit a reference to one branch of it, and I ask you to consider for a moment the use of stale bread. Slices of bread, no matter how stale, make good toast if held for a minute over glowing coals. Pile them neatly on a plate and send to the table hot, or dip each slice quickly in a dish of boiling water, to which has been added a large lump of butter and a little This is called water toast, and should be served in a heated covered dish. If milk toast is preferred pile these dipped slices in a deep dish; boil a pint of milk, stir in a teaspoonftil of corn starch moistened with cold rnilk or water, a large lump of butler and a little salt. Stir all together until it begins to thicken, then pour over the toast.

Slices of stale bread are delicious, spread with butter and browned in a quick oven, a thin slice of cheeii a on each, and put back in the oven long enough to melt the cheese. They are nice also dipped in a batter made of one egg, one cup of milk, one cup of Hour and one half teaspoonful of salt; fried in hot butter or dripping until a light brown, and used as a breakfast or let dish, or eaten with molasses' or sugar as dessert. Slices of toast are appetizing with poached eggs on top. or a spoonful of hash, minced fish, Welsh rarebit, asparagus, etc. Or they may be cut in small squares and added to the soup as it goes to the table.

Crotons, used with strained soups, are small squares of stale bread tried brown. Slices of bread spread with butter may be laid on the top of good custard and baked in the usual manner. Or thev mav be laid alternately with stew ed or preserved fruit, a custard poure 1 over them, and baked. Bits and broken pieces of bread should be spread on a me plate or baking pun and browned slowly in the oven, with tha door open; rolled (while still hot) on a bread board, and put away in tin boxes or air tight jars. They will lie tounrt tar nicer than cracker crumos mr uipiuuf, winters, chops, cutlets, small fish or any thing else which is tried in egg ann crumbs.

They arc also delicious sur fer! in browned butter ami sprinKidi over the top of meat dumplings, or us V. for potatoes au gratin, tomato etc. They also make delicate and delicious puddings. The above are but a tew or many pointers on this subject, but tney wi.i, if followed, up iieiu iu deprive the waste Ducket oi huuH uui.f, that has formed a part of its contents in the past.

The cartons are bought in five and ten million lots. A single carton, as it Is laid liat (the form in which they are bought) occupies an infinitesimal amount of sjace, yet in Hat form fill a car. The wooden cases in which the cartons are packed are also bought by the shredded What company in enormous quantities. These come to the factory in that form known as shooks, and are nailed together at the factory, the nailing Is done by machinery, and to put or nail a case together takes but an incredibly short time, for the cases the finest quality clear spruce is used, and as they leave the factory they are as neat as wax.

Balls of snow white fluff, theso innocent looking babies lie basking in their icy cradles, equally happy In aun shlno or falling snow, sometimes for hours on tholr flapping their flippers im potently llko fans, unable from sheer fat to get over again. In tho coldest, stormiest season they grow fastest and fattest, to inarvclously does nature provide for their necessities. Nor does she do less for the old seals. So thin that thoy 6lnk at once if shot in tho water in summer, aa winter approaches they fatten and fatten up, till now they enjoy this terribly cold weather as wo would a bath in summer. They dlvo in off the ice, paddle to and fro in tha water, throw themselves on their backs and float, putting out their chests and throwing showers of water over their upturned noses with fore flippers.

Sido stroke and breast stroke, diving and sounding, they sport about till one almost feels tempted to follow and shore their rapturous pleasures. Pittsburg Dispatch.

Y. "A good thick coat of paint" is an erroneous expression. It should read "a good thin coat of paint," for paint should not be plastered upon a building but spread on it with a brush and well brushed out. This wrist work of the painter makes him tired, but if he is conscientious and does his work carefully and thoroughly, he will use less paint with a much better result than the careless man who takes no interest in results. Employ a good painter and pay him a fair price for his work.

Have thin coats of Pure Linseed Oil Paint applied to a dry surface and have them well brushed out. The cheapest paint and the best paint that ever was used on a house is the Chilton. Ziegler Schumacher, Scranton, Fa..
