The story of a love-match In which
comes conflict between the artlstio
temperament and the home-making In
stinct.
Stefan Ryrd. artist, meets Mary, a
beautiful Rngllsh irirl. on board ship.
To him she is an Inspiration, a crea
ture of wings and flame. To her. un
consciously, ho appeals as the answer
lo her unvoiced longing for a home
and children.
After marriage her nest absorbs her.
"Maty',' Ktefan cries. "Your wings are
gone." Her Idea of life Is: "To have a
person and work tliat you love, and
then to build both of you a place, a
position; to have friends. and be a
part, of tlie community bo that your
children the immortal part of you
grow up in a more enriching atmos
phere." The struggle of temperaments Is de
veloped with sympathy for both. The
dramatic interet of the atory grows
tenner as Stefan, chafing under hated
domesticity, comes more under the in
fluence of Felicity Berber, a brilliant
woman of exotic charm, and finds in
her the stimulation of beauty and
mystery that he craves .

do In life as In story hooks, sometimes

Grants Pass Wants
County Library
Grants Pass. Or.. Oct. 21. Petitions
are being circulated in Josephine coun
ty asking the county court to establish
by tesolutlon a free county library.
It is proposed that the cost of main
tenance shall be met by a fourth-mill
tax levy for the county. If the county
court acts favorably on the petitions,
tho present Grants Tass free public
library will bo consolidated with the
new county library.
The system of financing the free
county library, which the petitioners
request shall be adopted In Josephine
county, has been tried and found sat
isfactory in some other states.
Five Oregon counties already have
free libraries organized under this
plan. Including Hood River, in which
conditions are not dissimilar to those
of Josephine county; California haa 33,
It In reported, with several other
rountles planning to adopt the same
methods.
The cost to the average farmer of
this county on the fourth-mill levy
would be about 82 cents per annum.

This Is another one of the Volland
company's becks of literary and ar
tistic merit. The "Rhymes" are some
what modernized types of "Mother
Goose," each one having a message of
love, kindness and admonition for the
little folks.
"We have not enough heart culture
taught in our schools," says Mra.
Snyder, "and head culture without
the guidance of the heart will assured
ly develop the inhumanity of man.
The seed of kindness should be plant
ed in the mind of every child. Life
may bring inmany strange Influences
along the way, but, somehow, you
Vnow and I know, that the thoughts
given to us in early childhood are
never quite forgotten. The, principles
of right and honesty that you learned
at your mothers knee generally re
main with you and unconsciously
mould your character.
"I have discovered that there are
not many homes where humaneness

a need for something which should
arouse children to think, even as they

to the defense of the president's policy

It Is shown that It was only six
years ago that the federal department
of justice started building up this

What's In a Name?
From the Christian Science Monitor.
Of all the many controversies re
garding Shakespeare, perhaps the
most futile In that which haa been
carried on concerning the spelling of
the great poet's name.
Shakespeare' himself was apparently
uncertain, and evidently quite indif
ferent on the matter. In his will he
spells his name both "Shakspere" and
Shakespeare, while In the council
book of Stratford-on-Avon, where his
father's name occurs 66 times, it is
cpelled in no fewer than 16 different
ways, the commonest being one which
has never been generally adopted
namely, "Shaxpeare,"
The commonly accepted spelling to
day is "Shakespeare," though Profes
sor Dowden always maintained that it
should be "Shakspere," and so spells It
in his famous book, "Shakspere. His
Mind and Art."
Popular Mechanics for November.

genious devices constantly being called
forth by the European war or by the
widespread demand for military pre
paredness. A number of these are de
scribed in the November magazine.
Easily first in popular interest are the
British "tank cars," adaptations of
American caterpillar and alligator
tractors. In "Tank Cars Smash Ger
man Lines." John Anson Ford writes
of this new war engine, which is cred
ited with many remarkable feats. Sev
eral fine illustrations accompany the
article. A double-decked motorcycle
ambulance which carries two stretch
ers; a gyroscoplcally stabilized tele
scope intended as an aid in making
aerial observations; a device whlcn
adds to a rifle's magazine capacity; a
new army gun mounted on railway car;
the United States army's new hospital
train, and a new type of kite balloon
are also described.

"The Leatherwood God."
"The Leatherwood God," the new
William Dean Howells novel, an
nounced for Immediate publication by
The Century company, is a reminis
cence of the famous author's own child
hood, or rather of the environment of
his childhood, for the occurrences de
scribed In the book actually took place
In that frontier region of Ohio where
he himself grew up. The history of
the book Itself Is an Interesting one.
Mr. Howells had the story from his
father, who had known the Leather
wood "god' 'himself, and he set about
writing It In his early youth. Other
things, however, intervened, and he
laid it aside.
Years later Mr. Howells told the
story to George Parsons Lathrop,
Hawthorne's son-in-law. "Give me that
plot," said Lathrop, and Mr. Howells
agreed that he' might use It. He con
fesses that he often regretted the gift;
and when, in 1898, Lathrop died with
out having made use of the idea, Mr.
Howells set to work in earnest to work
it out himself.
He has been adding to it from time
to time through all "the intervening
years; and in a sense the task has ac
companied him throughout the whole
fifty-odd years of his literary life.

A novel and useful profession thaw
has- to do with the home, child ' life,
convalescents, shut-ins and elderly
people has been evolved by Miss Ma
rian V. Lester, who offers help along
many lines, chief among which are:
Care of children during the day time
or in the evening, entertaining shut-
Ins, assisting out of town shoppers,
reading to convalescents and chaperon
ing girls. Mlt) Lester was a success
ful kindergarten teacher in the east
for several years. 8even years ago
she came to Oregon, and tt was while
spending a summer at Newport that
the accidental beginning waa made Jn
what is now a unique and very suc
cessful buBiness.
"Agate Beach, near Newport, Is, a
you know, a Mecca for adults,, who
love to gather the beautiful agates';
but the little short legs of the chil
dren get tired long before the hnnt Is
over," said Miss Lester, in telling of
the beginning of her work. "I saw
the need of a playground In charge of
a responsible person, where the. little
ones might be left while their mothers
gathered agates to their hearts' con
tent, and so I had a tent put up, sand
piles arranged and other things to
occupy the time and attention of the
children. Immediately I was like "the
old woman who lives! in the ahoe.' for
I truly had so many children I didn't
know what to do. Then the mothers
asked that I take care of the children
while they went out In the evening
to dances and other entertainments
offered at coast resorts, and I did this
too. One mother who Uvea in a small
town but comes to Portland oulte fre
quently said she wished 1 would con
tinue to care for children, after I re
turned to Portland, because when aim
came to the city to shop she had no
one to leave her children with except
a "maid In the hotel. I adopted her
suggestion, caririg for children In
hotels and private homes when the
mothers wanted to go out. From this
came demands for the, things you have
already named.
"The business Is 'comparatively new,
and like all pioneering, it la a matter
of, educating the people; and so, or

knowledge of kindergarten work is of
incalculable value. I entertain (he
Children with little games, (teah ihem
HokKs, read to them and tell, them
fctorles, and If the weather Is good,
take them for a walk and to the parks
and the library. I have always loved
children, and they are usually happy
and contented with me. Parents are
always' pleased to, find someone who
Is responsible with whom- they can
leave their children. Tat winter I
was called to a local hotel to care for
two small children " for an evening
while the parents went to the thaatre.
Later I received ' a letter, from the
mother asking me if I would go to
their ranch In Hood River for several
weeks during the summer. I said - I
would, and have Just returned from a
two months stay In that borne, during
much of which time the'parents wee
away. t

Mrs.1 MLlT. Hidden
- Supports President
' Pendleton, Or., Oct ! 21. Declaring
President Wilson a truer .friend of the
suffrage cause than Judge Hughes,
Mrs. M. U T. Hidden of Portland, who
is attending the W. C. T.'U. state con
tention here, Thursday 'addressed 'a
large number of Pendleton women
at the county, library.
Mrs'. Hidden strongly championed
President Wilson, condemned the
"Golden Special," and poir.ted out thst
the president had jnade a 'Special trip
to New Jersey to vote on the suffrage
amendment, and had announced his
position publicly.
As to congressional . action on suf
frage. Mrs. Hidden, asserted that the
national suffrage organization, through
its officers, opposed any aetlon'in con
gress at the last session, as they con
sidered the time not ripe, and did not
wish the subject brought up there. Thi
so-called Congressional union she
branded as a partisan organization,
and not really representing the suf
frage movement at ail.
Aside from touching upon the suf
frage 'issue, Mrs. Hidden spoke elo
quently of the great service President
Wilson has rendered the country in
keeping it free from war, at the same
time upholding our international rights
and dignity. She characterized him as
a "great progressive president, richly
entitled to reelection."
