WOMAN'S RIGHTS
BY CHAs. Won FALCK

In every sphere of human life
The woman PLAYS her part:
As loving mother and as wife,
She owns mans soul and heart.
TIE cradle it is rocked by her;
The grave she plants with flowers
The baby boy looks up to her;
The man he feels her powers.
With skill she works the typemachine,
For seven dollars weekly;
The clerk calls her his heroine,
She smiles and bushes meekly.
She writes OF ships that pass at night,
OF ill bred twins from heaven;
As lawyer she will win a fight
Six times of every seveo.
Without her there would he no home,
No marriage, no divorces;
And life wonld have no sparks. no foam,
No scandal:zing forces.
But now she cries for equal righus,
And men should gladly tender
To her the only thing in sight
For God to change his gender.

tine herself came near sdeath during an
attack upon her home. The story Of the
long struggle, the fierce conflicts, the ac-
tual starvation which resClted, is very
fully and forcibly told. At last, however,
came the SOLDERING of the misguided
workmen and the consciousness that Gas
ton Rochefort had been all the while
bravaly and patiently at work to better
their condition, though well-nigh ruined
by ttelr lawlessness. Christine, too, had
survived the madness or the hour and
found her heart once more. The full
awakening of the two to the true state of
affairs and the sweet and sacred new con-
hdence when their lips met in the kiss
that consecrated the beginning of their
new life. is finely pictured IN the closing
chapter.

THE NEW LIFE OF BLAINE, by
Gail Hamilton, we have not seen, but
Judge it is to be disap pointing, from what
the critics say. Too little is sld OF the
every dav life of this striking figure in
our politics of whom everybody loves to
hear. Nor is Mrs. Blaine hardly men
toned at all, which is all the more
strange, since Miss Dodge is a cousin.
The book appears to have hurried ont at
last, after long waiting. and it is not un-
likely that the author herself did not rut
the finishing touches to It, owing to her
terrible sickness from which by the wa".
she is only now Just beginning to recov-
er. There is no index and no list OF
illustrations. but otherwise it is said to
be fair specimen of book making. From

fhe fall announcements of the publish
ers are upon US and are full of promise
OF good Things, though few of the new
books does one get early sight of in this
otherwise highly favored community.
We are told that hitherto the sale of
books has been SO small hereaobnts that
publishers do not find much encourage
ment to cultivate this field. Exactly
where the fault lies we do net know, but
imagine that it primarily rests with the
local dealers. There are few pers sons VINO
know about books and are at the same
time especially interested in their sale.
There are hundreds upon hundreds OF
people here who would be willing and
glad to buy the best books, new and old,
if only they could be temtped by the
sight of them in the hands of persons
VINO permit them selves to betray some
interest in them. But all this Will be
cured in time. The book stores in the
near future wall find it to their interest
to emulate the push which is apparent in
every other line OF business in this push
ing city, and with this will come greater
liberality on the part of the publishers
and an awakened faith in the ranks of
the buyers.

to speak of he excellence of our public
library. One cannot get everytnIung

CHRISTINE RoCHEFORT,
By Helen Choate Prince; Houghton
Miffiin & Co.. Boston.
The scene OF this story is laid in France,
the pretty little town of Blois. The hero.
inc is young girl whom a weak mother
and a wicked grandmother wanted to
marry off very young to keep her from a
convent, and also. incidentally to advance
the interests of proud younger sister.
When CASTOR Rochefort came back from
England where he had been manly edu-
Gated. to take up his deceased fathers s
manufacturing business, he very properly
and promptly fell in love with Christine
d Arcy, who was the prettiest girl of the
very few whom be had ever been per-
mitted to see. They were swiftly mar
ried and becomingly settled in life, hut
something in the way of close compan-
ionship appears to have been so LACKING,
from the very first, that neither quite
trusted or knew the other. Christine,
kept from the church. easily became in
terested in Socialistic movements, led on
by.a plausible and impetuous young re-
former who to her was half hero and half
lover, until she espousei the cause OF the
restive workingmen whom her husband
was trying to appease and thus save his
own business from wreck. At l,ngth the
discomfort broke out IN mob rule, the

She says OF Blaine'5 Presbyterian ances.
tors that they died under CONTRACT with
God to give them salvation" OF Mr..
Blaine himself, after remarking that he
did not go to prayer meetings, she says:
The lamp of his faith glowed with
far-reaching light. but that particular
burner he never used" This may be
smart, but it is style i'll benttinG the
biography of one of the most notable men
the nation has ever produced. OF his
eulogy of Garfield she says the most bril-
liant feature was ''tbe insight which
lifted Gartield's pedigree from the zone
of demagogism to the dignity of self-re-
specting independence. Was this a mere
slip. or was it intended to oe vicious?
Speaking of Miss Dodge'e illness, which
instantly struck her down and kept her
month after month UNCONSCIOUS and on
the border of death, she has just related
some curious things. She says she felt
herself about to fall, and summoned every
energy to reach q sofa in the room and
not fall in heap upon the floor, perhaps
not to be found for some time and then
only to frighten the family out of their
wits. But she only reached the edge of
