pany. The author of this book Is a French
samatress, and she tells the story of her
on girlhood In chapter of the simplest
narrative. Deserted by her father, Bhe Is
sent to a convent school. She Is lonely and
one of the nuns Is kind to her. She tells
of her friendships with other children and
the curious effects which religion and
mysticism work in the child's mind. Then
she Is thrust out into the world and goes
as a shepurdess and niald-of-all work. Her
womanhood awakes; she has her first ex
perience of love In Its grand Intensity. Dis
illusion follows snd she returns to the con
vnt. Finally she Is again thrust out Into
the world and departs for Paris. The Con
court prize given annually for the best
work of fiction In French was awarded
to this author. '

pan). The story of a woman's hcart-a woman
good, clever, pure and practical. Eve Is
the widow of a rural ' editor when the
"other man" enters Iter life. Kve mar
ries him and Adam soon enters political
life. When lie Koca to Washington she
Btays home with the children; rumors of
Infidelity reach her, finally become cer
tainties. By sheer force of her woman's
wit she wins out. There ts a dry humor
running all through the story, which In-
bond of the river and mountains to the
austere plantation owner, which serves
vastly to adorn and embellish the story.
The book deals with Intrigue, the basest of
passions, murder and yet It cannot be
called a tragedy, for there is too much j
of the sweet sentiment of friendship, love
and rollicking humor for that. It reflects
a striking picture of the marauding clans
that terrorised west Tennessee with the
ghost of a "servile rebellion," and of how
the better element at last brought
them to Justice; that sort of quick, simple
Justice for which that country was then
noted. The book will never depend for its
popularity on its power to play on the
cheaper emotions, for it has a narrative
of sustained Interest that makes a bold
appeal to the lover of high-class historic
fiction. EPISODB8 FROM. AN UNWRITTEN

from that thrilling period of the Ante-bellum

blooming together In the same strange
thicket of romance. It was a time when
inscrutable Justice as typified in the ma

their arbitrament through less sedate and
tedious priMt-ases, ull of w hK h the author

If It is any consolation to Postmaster "Ben" Thomas, he may know that he
Is not the first Omaha Nasby to geti Into trouble.
only old-timers remember, but It is nonetheless of record that a predecessor
In the office now held by Thomas had a head-end collision with Uncle Hams
laws way back In 1872 as Is attested by the criminal docket of the federal court.
This was the case of Joel M Uiiffen, appointed postmaster by grace of Sen
ator P. W. Hitchcock In return for political and financial assistance In his cam
paign. Postmaster Grlffen. who, when not aorting mall was working a farm In the
west suburbs of the city, got iu bad by taking home with hlin a number of
Uncle Sam'a mall sacks and using them to market potatoes and other farm
products. There was ne civil service commission in those days to come snoop
ing around, but the federal grand Jury started after the honorable postmaster
and promptly. Indicted him on three counts, one for appropriating to his own
private use and benefit a certain United States mall Back belonging to the Poatof
flce department, valued at lb, another for similarly misappropriation on another
occasion twenty-four ceriaJn Lulled Stales mail sacks, aud another for misap
propriating at still a different time five certain United Slates mall sacks, and
in each case neglecting to account for or to pay for them.
By agreement entered into between Grlffen's lawyer, John I. Redlck. the
postmaster waa permitted to plead guilty to two counts in the Indictment,
while the third waa nulled, and the cOIliptt6unate judge let hltu down easy
vvlth a fine of flm) and cocts.
It is needless to say that Postmaster Griffen speedily vacated the Job and
was succeeded as Postmaster by CaHUer y. Voat.

DRIYERS AND HELPERS STRIKE
Employes of Four Express Companies
in New York Quit Work.
JERSEY CITY MEN ARE ALSO OUT
Mob Attacks One VnRn In Manhat
tan and lladly Injures the
Driver Police Make Two
Arrests.
NEW YORK. March 17. Drivers and
helpers of the Adams, United States and
Wells-FaiKO Express companies In New
York City and Jersey City are on strike
today In obedience to a "general strike
order Issued in Jersey City shortly after
midnight this morning.
Employes of the American and National
Express companies repured "cr work as
usual, but leaders declared they expected
ttic men of these companies to Join the
walkout during the day.
The strike started several days ago with
the men of the Adams company, who com
plained of alleged discrimination against
certain employes Involved in the general
,-trike last fall. It was believed late yes
terday that a settlement among the Adams'
men and the company was In prospect,
through the promise of the leaders that the
men would return to work pending dis
cussion of settlement terms which Mayor
Gaynor had promised to bring about.
This plan, however, was overturned at a
meeetlng of delegates of the various com
panies last night In Jersey City, when it
was decided not only to keep the Adam.4
men out. but to extend the strike sym
pathetically to the men of the other com
panies. Mob Attacks Wagon.
During the first hours of the new strike
movement there was no trouble In Jersey
City, where a strong police guard was
posted at possible danuer points. Trouble
began early In Manhattan.' however, when
an Adams wugon was attack ked by a mob.
The driver was severely beaten. Two ar
rests followed.
Drivers and helpers of the New York
and Boston Express company also failed to
report for work.
The strike leaders announced that at a
meeting of the men to be held this after
noon It was expected that the employes
of the Westcott Express and the New York
Transportation company would be called
out. '
In Manhattan all police reserves are
being held in readiness for duty.
t.eneral strike Is Threatened.
Howard T. Biggs, secretary and treasurer
of the local express drivers' union, de
clared this afternoon that unless the strike
was settled by tomorrow night or by Mon
day morning, at the latest, general strike
of everything on wheels would be called,
not only In Manhattan and Jersey City,
but In Newark, Brooklyn and as far north
as Yonkers.
In a siuiemeut ;.s-neil h the Wclls
Fargo company It Is declared that the
majority of the company's employes have
110 grievance and desire to remain at work.
A committee of twenty-five representing
American, National and Westcott Express
companies tuipioyea who Uu uul wish to
go on strike called on Mayor Gaynor this
afternoon to ask police protection.
"I give you absolute assurance," said the
mayor, "that the police department will
protect you. I am able to say positively
that this strike Is absolutely Inexcusable
and I further say that It Is criminal and
brutal. Public sentiment here will con
demn It."
