and was present at the riot itself. His ac-
count differs essentially from the press
accounts at the time, but no clew is given
| in the book as to what is meant to be his
toric. Suffice i; to say that the blame of
the N after is thrown largely on the police,
and the people who were tried and cou-
demned for throwing the bomb are de-
ciared innocent. The language of the
book is stiff, and its movement slow and
heavy, but as an index and outcome of the
times it will pay the student to read it.

LOOKING FOR THE KING."-This little
drama. by Mrs. B. Peters, was written to
be acted by Sunday-scb DOL children. There
are three parts: Before the Crucifxion,
after the Crucihxon and after the Resur-
recti0n, and in these parts by skillful Sc
lection from the Scriptures and quotations
from ben Hur" the writer has given in
brief the essentials of the life of Jesus
Christ. One of the reasons that led to the
writing of this little book was the au-
thnr's idea that the personages in the
Scriptures are not half so real to children
as the old Greeks and Romans, true
idea, too, no matter what may be the rea-
sou. To make them more real was the
purpose of the drama and the end has
been fairly attained. brooklyn, N. T.:
