William Dean Howclls wrote recently In Literature: "Wo Americana are apt to think because wo have banged tho Spanish war ships to pieces that wo are superior to tho Spaniards, but hero In the field, where Ihero Is always peace, they shine, our mas. tern. If wo aavo any novelists to compare with theirs, nt their best, 1 should be puz zled to think of them and I should llko to havo somcono clso try." Tho book which Inspired thcto words by Mr. Howclls was "The Joy of Captain rtibot," by A. 1'alaclo Valdcs, which has been, translated Into English by Minna Carollno Smith and Is now brought out In a very attractive volume for American readers. Any reader must bo hard to plcaoo who would not tako tho keen it delight In a story presented with a touch so delicate. Tho scene Is laid In Valencia, one of tho earth's famous garden spots, whore tho touch of tho classic hand, laid upon thfi spot ages ago, yet lingers. It Is a story dominated by tho purest Joy, as Its scrcno Mediterranean landscape Is domi nated by tho purest sunshine. Mr. How ells, In tho article In Literature alluded to above, said: "Tho 'Joy of Captain Itlbot' U, as all tho stories of this dnllghtful author aroj a novol of manners, tho modern man ners of provincial Spain; and, by the way, while wo woro spoiling our piostrato foe, I wish wo could havo got somo of these, too. They would form an agrccab)o relief to our ovn, which they surpass bo much In pic turesVuenesR, to say tho least." Tho novel la, so far aa Itlbot and his two friends are concerned, a tender Idyll, but on tho other fddo It is an exquisite comedy, with somo tragto Implications. Mr. Howells has ex pressed a dcslro to havo Scnor Valdcs for our own. So far as a most Intelligently sympa thotlo presentation of this bonutlful story In Kngllsh can do so, tho translator has mado him so. llrcntano's, Now York. Price, $1.23.

At 10:30 It was whispered about among tho guests who crowded his palatial apartments at 617 South Thirty-third street that someono had mado away with tho onyx clock, oxidized me dallion, bono-handled razor, rag doll and self-acting revolver, which had boon thought fully supplied by tho host as rewards for skill displayed In tho game of the evening. The entlro collection of premiums, booby prlzo nnd all, had vanished from tho table whero they had been on exhibition. Mr. Danlolson was well awaro that all his guests had not been Invited with an eye single to their probity, but It pained him to think that any of .them should intrmliifn sordid buslnrea motives at a social function. It Impressed him as a solecism Inexcusable. It wouldn't do to disappoint hla friends In tho matter of tho prizes, ho reasoned. The program of the evening must be carried out. So ho notified tho police of tho affair. A half-hour later Sergeant Hudson dropped In nt the party and Uanlelson took him aside. "You understand," ho began. "I want this thing conducted quietly. How would It look for a scandal llko this to get Into tbo pa pers? Don't make an nrreat If you can holo It. 1 think I've got It straightened nut now and all I want Is to get tho stuff back seo? "I know who pulled off tho lob all right enough. I Invited tho fellow hero out of respect to hla parents, who aro nlco people, but ho s well, I stops up to him awhllo ago and says: " 'Nato. nln't you ushamed of yourself to swlpo that stutT?" and ho says, 'S'help me, 1 never,' and I says, 'That's all right. Nate, but In the bedroom next to tho parlor you'll find In ono corner a dogskin rug. Now, In Just ten minutes by tho stop-watch I'm goln In that bedroom and look under that rug, If I find tho clock nnd razor and things under It. It'll bo all right, Nate, and not a word'll bo said. If they ain't thero I'll send you up for thirty days.' " "Well, how did It work?" asked the tor. gcant. "Tlmo Is Just up now," answered tho host clicking liU natch caso. "Let's go In and see." Together officer nnd host entered the bed room and there, under the dogskin rug, were tho clock, rovolvcr, razor, medallion and rag baby. The men exchanged winks and then Mr. Danlelson said: "That'll bo all for tonight, sergoint. Of courso Nate took tho stuff for a Joke. It anybody asks you about It, just say that, will you?" Mr. Danlelson distributed tho prlzoi among such of his guests ns were entitled to them and then, as his friends filed out, graciously acknowledged tho coaipllments they paid blm as a model host. one vexation eliminated Itnlnril I'lmhiKr Stump a TIiIiik of the I'iihI Stamp HookN llc urlveil YcNtertlny.

PADLOCK'S PECULIAR PLIGHT Seticn of DlNiiNtrous IlnppenliiK" I.iiiiiIh IIIiu In Jnll with a I I in- of if 10. James K. Padlock, 1111 South Sixth street, arose at 4 o'clock tho othor morning to get a drink of water, but on his way to tho tin dipper nnd cedar bucket In tho corner ho met with a series of mishaps which landed him in Jail with a $10 flno for wifo beating. Padlock is a peddler, a calling which re nulrcs him to sleep away from homo a good denl, so when ho arose In the darkness of the room his bearings woro somewhat deranged. Ho was not as familiar with tho topographical aspect of tho apartment as ho might othor wise hava been, albeit ho was sober as a Judge. First, ho stepped upon tho baby, whose lusty yowl was soon reinforced by those of flvo other llttlo Padlocks and by tho scream of his wife. Awaking suddenly, hor first thought had been of burglars, henco tho scream. Not finding his youngest offspring vory good walking, Padlcck altered his courso and upiot a center table, precipitating a shower of bric-a-brao Into tho crib of his twins. Muttorlng softly to himself, he tacked to tho Btarboard and broke tho leaf of a table laden with tho supper dishes. Before the echoos of breaking crockery had ceased to revcrborato through tho Padlock foundry two policemen entered and arrested the head of tho house for wlfe-boatlng. Ho was fined $10 iMonday, but today Mrs. Padlock called on tho Judge, related the fore going facts, and Induced his honor to remit tho fine. What Two Ct'iiin Will Do.

Frccn a northern city comes a story of tho proposed organization of a carpet trtift which Is to havo Its seat In Philadelphia and purposes to advanco the price and change tho system of selling Ingrain carpets. A sleuth was immediately sent out to seo If tho trail of the trust serpent had crossed tho path of the Omaha carpet trade and how much the consumer would be forced to pay Into tho maw of tho mercantile octopus. Omaha carpet men smiled when they heard tho story, and, as though they had conferred upon tho subject nnd agreed upon a uniform reply, each ono dented tbo exist ence of any Ingrain carpet trust. "Carpets are advancing In price, said Mr. Rosenthal of tho People's store, "but tho advanco is hardly commensurate with the advanco In the raw material nnd the wages of the operatives In tho carpet fac tories. There has been no trust formed and there will bo none so far as known. Our terms aro tho same now as they always have been." "This talk of a carpet trust Is all cnoon shine." was tho answer of E. W. Dixon of tho Orchard & Wllhelm Carpet company, "There was somo talk of tho formation of a trust somo tlmo ago, but It fell through Tho only changs with tho carpet manufac turors is tho consolidation of the stocks ot the Blgolow and Lowell carpet companies. Thcso companies manufacture llton and Brussels carpets and they have made a legitimate combination, tho two corporations being merged Into ono. Tho prices of carpets and linoleums have advanced In nil grades. In somo cases the advance has been as much ao 10 cents n yard. Tho smnlleat chango has beon In body Brussels and that Is now ad vancing. But In what lino has there not been an advance? wages are higher, raw material Is higher nnd it must bo expected that house furnishings will follow tho trena of tho market." "I know nothing of nny trust," said the manager of the omana uarpoi company. Wo havo all of our goods nnyway and It would not affect our fall contracts, as they aro already made. "Who do thoy say aro forming the trusu Oh, thoso fellows? They aro mighty small fish In tho ocean of tho carpet trade ana could no moro float a trust than they could fly.
