"Tile Wind ltcforc Hie Dawn" by
Dell 11. Jtungor. Pub. by Double-
liny, Page & Co.
Hero Ir n book that cannot bo too
highly praised. It la n Reed, clean,
strong Btory told lit nit Interesting,
masterful vay,
Tho sotting of tho story It a now
onq. Tho scenes aro all laid In
Knttsaa and tho book would hardly
take the place ot an ad vet Using cir
cular, as tho descriptions ot tho long,
hot Bummers, tho dreary, deaolnto
winters, tho plaguo of grasshoppers,
a cyclono, and a blluard and a fow
other unhappy thing that "UlecdlnK
Kansas" is heir to, aro put Into tho
story with realistic candor.
Tho characters aro nil of tho com
nionplaco type, clearly drawn.
Elizabeth Farnshaw, tho heroine,
lived on ono of these dcsolato Kaunas
farms. lKr mother was a poor, ove
worked woman, entirely dominated
by a Boirish, churlish, exacting h un
hand. Mr. Karnshaw was one of
those men who denied his family all
tbo luxuries and oven necessities, of
life, using not only his earnings but
those of hfci wlfo, and daughter to
buy farming Implements or cattle
"with.
KlUaboth,. had' known nothing
from childhood up to womanhood
but drudgery andj, direst poverty,
Thcro wan no evidence or lovo In tin
family circle, tall the neighbors lived
as her father and mother didwork
ing always merely to keep oul and
body together. Kllzubcth longed for
something beautiful and pleasant to
como Into her life. "It' not the faded
clothes that 1 dread," she nald ono
day after surveying tho family wash,
"It Is the faded lives."
So the rest of tho story deals with
bow aho found love and tried to keep
tho color rosy and bright Jn her own
life; how she nearly lost it by slip
ping Into a narrow groove as her
mother before her had done, through
sheer exhaustion of body and soul.
A woman may easily become tho
slavo of tho man sho loves and mar
ries If sho allows him to dictate to
her In all things without her aas;rt
Ing her own rights where she knows
that he io in tho wrong. Tho dicta
tor soon becomes a bully and tho
buljy has no regpect for his victim.
Then married lfo for the woman,
who through lovo at tho beginning
has unconsciously substituted her
husband's will for her own, becomes
an utter dependence on the husband,
and sho In abjectly helpless to better
conditions. Klizabcth passed through
all theso phases pf unhappy cxls-
tenco until a way was opened up to
her whereby sho became at first fin
ancially Independent of her husband
and then mentally and morally so.
Tho change lu her was qulto dis
pleasing to her husband In the be
ginning, then ho was flually forced
to respect, her, business, ability and
appreciate hor keen, Judgment In Im
portant matters,. Then ho realized
that tho woman whom bin own solt
Ishniss had crushed to a dcuplacblq,
hysterical silly fool, had developed
and b'osnomed Into a wondorful bo
lug worthy or admiration and lovo,
ouu to work with and not against,
ono to consult and not Ignore The
hook ends leaving Klizabcth who
"oved tho glow, and color of llfo at
tho foot of tho rainbow, linppy and
coufldout ot tho future.
"Jnck Norton" by 13. Uofur. I'uu. by
liadgcr.
Tho pcoplo of Oregon have bean
too busy with real llfo to spend
much tlmo In writing rict'on. Wo.
hnvo had very few books from Uio
pens of Orugoulans and wo should

talent tiat Js, in our midst, . - .
.Mr. IJofur is a well known man
u tho state and this book, tho first
from hlB pou, will bo read from cu
riosity If for no other reason.
"Jack Norton" is a book with an
Oregon setting the scenes aro laid
around Salem, The story, however,
Is not exactly a strong or pleasing
ouo. There aro men llko Jack Not
ion wo all know them successful,
brilliant man, who havo lived a life
ot respectability according to all the
lawn of society, until middle age, and
who then try In tho last years of
their remalnlu prime to gr'up the
things that" conventions havo mado
them boo fit to step aside from in
earlier years. Uut such ji mun only
lnvltoa ridicule, and gains no sym
pathy. Jack Xort,on. was a married man
with a grown family; his llfo had
buen conventional, respectable, and
above roproaclj until ho mot
''Imanne," a young woman with a
past, who Inspired him with a foolish
Infatuation. If tho hero had been
open and above board, as he railed
at conventions, tho ' reader would
ba,yu had more sympathy with him,
Hut ho wus still careful of his posi
tion and succeaa and a,cted vory much
like u bontlmental sneak.
