GOSSIP FROM BOOKLAND.

As announced, MT. Bonaparte of Cor sica," by John Kendrick Bangs. has just been issued from the press of Harper Bros. The illustrations form so note worthy a feature of this little work that we are forced to inquire, would 1t have amounted to very much without them? All who have laughed with HThe Idiot" over the discontinue of his fellow board CTS, and seen Mr. Bangs at his best in Coffee and Repartee" will be sure to enjoy MT. Bonaparte." It is amusing, though, to notice that, while MT. Bangs follows many of the leading incidents, facts and occurrences that are familiar in the life of the great Napoleon, he also introduces so many little sayings, forms of speech, and so much banter and lampooning that is ludicrous and grotesque, even while it amuses us. It is just a little work to amuse one some sultry, dull day.
 -Four American Universities" liar yard, Yale, Princeton and Columbia, with copious illustrations, is book just out, by writers specially qualified for the treatment of their sub Iects respectively by Prof. Charles Eliot Norton, Prof. Ar thur T.

 scribner will have ready this month romance entitled Forward House." which, it is said, will be apt to create something of a sensation in the literary world on account of both the subject and the manner of treatment It is by a new author. William Scoville Case a member of the law firm of Case. Bryant & Case of Connecticut. Those who have seen the story credit the author with the posses sion of a powerful imagination, keen dramatic sense and a strikingly indl- viduaS style"
 Ian Maclaren has delivered himself to an interviewer, of a London daily, of course upon the new Scotch school of fiction, and MT. Arthur Waugh, the Lon don correspondent of the Critic. makes the following comment upon Rev. Mac laren's remarks: ITO hear Mir Mac laren. however, one would imagine that the novel began with MT. Barrie. With one-arm sweep he sets himself to clear the table of all older writers, and ranges the puppets of the last three months in their places. * % MT Maclaren is, from literary point of view, about aght months old. He owes an immense amount-everything, in fact-to the Kindly generosity of his elders"

 The girls college stories have been written at various times, and are varied in subject and treatment. The whole col lection will appear in volume this au- tumn.
 "rhe Story of Babitte" is another of those charming stories written by Mrs. Ruth McEnery Stuart, and illustrated with equal grace by Alice Barber Ste- phens. It is the story of a little Creole girl, the bible of the La Charmant fam fly lost in a crowded New Orleans street at carnival time. It it delicate, beau- tiful story.

Count Tolstoi has just finished another work, which is called Priceless Wealth and All the Troubles Attached to It, but in one of MT. Anthony Hopes une- Qualed reparteeS it may be said, "Egad, it is the lack of it causes the evil"
 MT Grant Allen has been much crit icised on account of his last novel, '"rhe Woman Who Did," work that many of his friends in vain persuaded him to leave in his desk. It is ostensibly an at tack upon the marriage relation. though many competent critics profess to find 1t in reality vigorous plea for marriage. MT. Allen tells us that he wrote the story to express his mature idea on the reia- tion of the sexes, and to satisfy his con- science; and he is ready to be judged, both as an artist and reformer. by the work. Editor Stead who reviews MT. Aliens novel at great length, says: For there is no mistaking the fact; from the point of view of the fervent apostle of free love, this is boomerang of a book"
 Capt. Charles King skillfullys depicts army life, and has written some rattling stories of love and adventure. Between the Lines Is a story of the TIA War

The Monroe Doctrine.

To the Age-Herald:
 The following is an extract from the presidents message of December 2, 1923, and explains fully the Monroe doctrine:
 The citizens of the United States cher ish sentiments the most friendly in favor of the liberty and happiness of their fellow men on the other side of the Att lantic Tn wars of the European powers, in matters relating to themselves, we have never taken any part, nor does it comport with our policy to do so. It is only when our rights are invaded or seri- ously menaced that we resent injuries or make preparation for our defense. The political system of the allied powers is essentially different in this respect from that of America. The difference proceeds from that which exists in our respective governments; and to the defense of our own, which has been achieved by the loss of so much blood and treasure, and ma- tured,by the wisdom of our most enlight- ened citizens and under which we have enjoyed 'unexampled felicity, this whole nation is devoted. We owe it, therefore, to candor and the amicable relations ex- istng between the United States and those powers to disclose that we should consider any attempt on their part to extend their system to any portion of this hemisphere as dangerous to our peace and safety. With the existing colo nies or dependencies of any European power we have not interfered, but with the governments which have declared their independence and maintained it and whose Independence we have, on great consideration and on just principles, ac- knowledged, we could not view any inter- position for the purpose of expressing them or controlling in any other manner their destiny by any European power in any other light than as the manifestation of an unfriendly disposi- tion towards the United States. Our policy in regard to Europe which was adopted at an early stage of the wars which have so long agitated that quarter of the globe, nevertheless remains the same, which is not to interfere in the internal concerns of any of it's powers: to consider the government de facto as the legitimate government for us; to cuI- tivate friendly relations with it, and to preserve those relations by a frank, firm and manly policy; meeting in all in- stances the just claims of every power; submitting to injuries from none. But in regard to these continents North and south Amerfca) circumstances are emil nently and conspicuously different. It is Impossible that the allied powers should extend their political system to any por- tion Of either continent without endan- gering our peace and happiness'
 The above is the Monroe doctrine" so much talked about of late, in connection with the fact that England has demanded of Nicaragua certain indemnties. For the non-action of our government Mr. Cleveland has been assailed and blamed and the legislature of New York, his own state, has gone so far as to resolute against him. Let any unprejudiced man read the Monroe doctrine q don't mean an office-seeker and a demagogue) and say if Grover is not right, and if Grover Is not always right.

A BACKWARD SPRING,

Following a Severe Winter, Brings Blood
 Diseases, Nervous Derangements and
 Chronic Catarrh.
 Never was there a greater demand for spring medicines-something to cleanse the blood or strengthen the nerves or regulate the digestion. Is there any medicine so good for these purposes as Pe-ru-na? Thousands of doctors, drug gists and tens of thousands of people of all classes and vacations have long ago decided this queStion-that Pe-ru-na has no equal in these cases. Poor, shrunken dyspeptics become strong, wig orous and hearty after a few bottles of it. People who are blotched, pimpled sallow and sluggish never fail to find a course of Pe-ru-na to clear the skin, in- vigorate the system and enrich the blood. Chronic catarrh in all phases and stages, cases that have defied the best of treatment for many years, take a few bottles of Pe-ru-na to their entire relief. Nervousness, debility, weak nesses of both sexes, sleeplessness, ir- ritability, dependency, hypochondria all these disappear when Pe-ru-na is used according to directions.
 One of the first and most instructive books ever furnished free is being sent by the Pe-ru-na Drug Manufacturing company, Columbus, O. This book Is very instructively illustrated with ex- pensive drawings of the human body and will be sent free to any address for a short time. Send also for a copy of The Family Physician No. 2, a complete treatise on catarrh, colds coughs, la grippe and consumption.

 Do you remember the little girl who sang Dixie last year during the reun- ion?

Sweet the voice of this little lady; sweeter still the face that lights up as she sings. Camp Lomax has hon. ored her, but I am not sure it has not honored itself more.

and gentle of manner, but right now. she is going to raise hep voice in protest and talk about cows. Not an essay on cows exactly, so much as an essay on city that lets them run around loose on the streets and scare poor defenseless wonn- ems lives out of them. Miss Polly brides herself on her dignity-it is a thing she has had under steady cultivation for something over a fair percentage of century Now everybody knows it, is a trile disastrous to dignity to have to pick up ones skirts and get on smart trot up the street to keep from being dea voured by-cows. Miss Polly's dignity has been so disturbed. and she feels per sonally aggrieved. Who wants to get on her best bib and tucker and then run from-cows? I know one thing. If women were in office there might not be a single book balanced, every meeting of the board of aldermen might end up in free fight. but I am willing to wager anything that on the street there wouldn't be any cows.
 Men are funny creatures, anyhow; they think they know so much. but it has long been conceded that the worl5' wags in the womans way-not the new woman, either, but the sort that loved the boys and married the men, that line the new sister doesn't seem to be particularly enterprising.

 But who cares for him? You and I grow hard and cynical if we listen to the people who croak. Let US laugh all we want to, but friends, in spite of our scoff- ing, aren't we glad. you and I, that somewhere are hearts that we count on, words we trust and people we love with depth and tenderness?

"A woman doctor in Muncie, Ind, has made herself famous by refusing to let two men pass her on their way from their seats in a theater. The evidence shows that the men wanted to get a drink. They called on a policeman to remove the woman, but the manager of the theater ruled that as the woman had paid for her seat she could do as she chose. The manager of the theater will issue no more pass checks between the acts, and men will be subjected to the terrible suffering of going two hours without being able to assuage their thirst with beer or whisky"
 The new woman has some sense, any how, if she is aggressive. Anyway the manager of the theater proved by his ac- ton in sustaining the woman that he was an old-fashioned man. so Miss Polly
