READING, Feb. H.-Mrs James Milliard,
wife of well-known citizen of this city,
who disappeared from her home here over a

A NOTABLE BOOK.
WRITTEN FOR THE DIspATcn. j


THE critics are many of them of the
opinion that the History of David Grfeve"
is better novel than "Robert Elsmere."
ghat is, they say it is a more artistic piece
of fiction. That ingenious adjective 'artis-
tic" however, is always bit suspicious. 1t
means that the work in question accords
with some ideal standard in the critics
mind, and is likely to. be out of accord with
the standards or the uncritical Judgment.
1t is the reason for the assurance that clas-
sical music, as somebody says, is really a
great deal finer than it sounds! novel is
artistic if the critic likes it, But whether
it is really work OF art is not thereby in
fallibly determined.
The average reader will not agree in this
case with the opinion of the critics. People
who read novels for the pleasure they get
out of them will not derive much satisfac-
tion from the "History of David Grieve"
The story is too long We want our stories
short. We want everything short, even our
sermons. l looked about in an old library
the other day. The books represented the
collections of several generations o! read
ers. 1t was curious to see the difference,
even in external look, between the different
eras of bookmaking. The books of our
great-grandfathers were great folios, each
one as big as small child. They were pro-
digious, and ran into numbers Of volumes.
Students got stoop in the shoulders from
the heavy lifting of these ponderous tones.
But our modern books are small easily held
in the hand, and brief.
Not that there is less in them. There is as
much more in the modern book than in the
old, as there is more in the brief life of a
nineteenth-centurym man than there was in
all the monotonous centuries of tile exist

Long, Somber and Depressing.
THE "History of David Grieve" has
been put into one volume, instead of its
original three, for the American trade in
order to persuade us that it is not so long as
it is. But it is too long. Yes: it is sometimes
even tedious "In the Orlando Inemorata,
Malagigi, the necromancer, puts all the
company to sleep by reading to them from a
book, That old charm can still be discov-
cred insome of the chapters of this novel.
Worse than all else, the book is somber
and depressing. One is reminded of many
of Mrs. Browning's poems, in which those of
the characters who are not dead wish they
were dead. There is not ray of humor in
the book. There is not even a chapter of
good, bright, healthy love making. David
Grieve does fall in love twice, or thinks he
does. But once the maiden is French girl
with whom he has a pathetic. most uncon-
ventional and quite questionable courtship;
and the other time the young woman is a
shallow, inconsequential person, not half
good enough for him, whom he marries.
The book begins in the darkness, and con-
tinues in the darkness, and hardly gets out
of the darkness. David Grieve is discovered
On q farm, living with his uncle Reuben.
His aunt is tyrant, and his little sister
Louise is possessed with the devil. The
dreary, miserable life of the farm and the
village drags itself along for chapters. Then
David goes to the city, and gets employment
in a secondhand bookstore. Here he meets
Lucy, the daughter OF his employer, and
Dora, her cousin Here also he becomes ac-
quaInted with Voltaire and with u company
of Secularists. David really succeeds in
making a man of himself. He picks up an
education; he makes money and spends it in
wise and helpful ways for the good of the
community for the bettering OF his brother
men. Mrs. Ward, however, is not willing to
give him the blessing of very helpful wife.
Lucy is not able to understand Ter husbands
aspirations. At last when the skies begin to
get little bright, and a glimmer of rose
color makes its appearance on ahead, be-
hold, it is only the sunset, and the book
comes to an end

Must Judge by the Eeroxi.

Some Of the Republicans who say that
the force bill plank Of the Minneapolis
platform does not mean a force bill may
be sincere in their belief. but the country
must judge by the record. / similar
declaration in the Republican platform
OF lSSS was followed by the force bill Of
the Reed congress. drawn by John |.
Davenport, Harrison's New York agent,
under the supervision Of the Harrison
administration. Its passage was strongly
urged by Harrison in two OF his mes
sageS, though in the campaign OF 1sSS no
Republican would admit that the plank
adopted at Chicago meant force bill.
Now when q platform made in g conven-
tion controlled by Rarrison's officehold-
ers declares that they will never relent"
in their purpose. it is idle 70 say that
they do not mean it.-St, Louis Republic.

Carneeie., Phiian,hropy.

There is vein OF grim common sense In
Mr.. Clarkson's comments upon the situ-
alton at Homestead. Mr.. Clarkson recalls
that Mr.. Carnegie has written o great
deal to the magazines and said a great
deal more in public speeches about the
responsibilities of wealth; he has now
the opportunity to sustain his reputa-
ton as philanthropis," by being Just
If not generous TO the men who have
made his great fortune. For, as Mr..
Clsrkson observes, the workmen must
be right in their contentious. There has
been no such convulsion in business as
could possibly make necessary these
great reductions in wages"
Mr.. Clarkson may not be 50 well yersed
in economics and the iron trade as Mr..
Carnegie. but at least he is O more con-
sistent prosectionist than the multirnil.
Gonaire. Mr.. Carnegie processes the
tariff doctrine as the salvation Of high
wages for American workingInen, but
refuses TO divide the fruits Of protection
with his workingmen. Mr.. Clarkson,
who possibly still believes what Mr.. Car.
negie processes, wants the protected
manufacturer to do the square thing by
the protected" workingman and so vim
dioate the protectionist propaganda. II
Mr.. Clarkson were himself beneficiary
of the tariff he might think otherwise.
There are men in Homestead today who
believe as Mr.. ClarksoD believes and are
shedding their blood and the blood Of
others in the defense of thex belief. The
end will not be told before November
Meantime every bullet that is fred and
every drop OF blood that is shed will help
10 prove the wisdom OF Mr.. Clarkson's
advice TO Mr.. Carnegie. Chicago Herald.

Promise snd Fulfllment

Andrew Carnegie has been one Of the
pronounced howlers for protection" in
the Republican ranks. The Mckinley
bill gave it to him, but evidently not
enough, as low he is preparing for pro-
lection of quite another kind-that Of
hosepipes. barricaded walls, and so forth,
brought into use and erected to protect
him against the outraged workmen who,
according TO Republican theory rather
than practice. were expected to be pro
tected equally with the owners by the
system formulated at Washington. But

f1llow Republican promise.-Chicago

1t is customary, when we
make a special early opening
OF Silks and Dress Goods, for
the envious and unprincipled
to say that the goods belonged
to the past season, and having
been packed away for time,
are brought out as new.
Such statements have al
ways been false. If made
again you will know how to
treat them.
They are from London and
Lyons. Many are hand
printed; the designs are all
new and some strlkingly orig
inal. They were contracted
for before the advance in silk,
hence the prices are not ad-
vanced over similar goods in
former seasons. 75c to $3.50.
Our exhibition in December
for last spring, was a success.
Encouraged then, and urged
by many of the best customers
of our Silk Store, we have
made this earlier movement
for next season. Controlling
many of the styles for this
market, we have made the
quantities small.
