CHARLES WARREN sroDDARD.

Walter Lecky, New York literary
man, pays the following tribute, in re-
cent number of the Catholic News, to a
widely known and popular California au-
thor and poet:
The news that the Catholic University will
confer on Charles Warren Stoddard an LID.
will afford pleasure to his admirers and they
are all those who love an English style that
catches the shifting forms of sky, natures
coloring and the words snd melodies of men.
He is a type of that rare but noble class of
authors who neither peddle their
wares nor found cliques to manufacture spu-
rious fame. The coming cen tury will have
herculean work to perform in cleaning from
the shelves marked Fame the trash auda-
ciously put there through the agency of syndi-
Gates, cliques, yellow books, chap books, and
Stoddard has written one volume that will find
room on the cleaned shelves. l refer to that
book which Mr.. Howells has declared is one
"of old memories of delight, graceful shapes,
careless, beautiful, with kind OF undying
youth in them"
My first Introduction, in one of the isles
lying off Venice to this book is one of the
memories that haunt my soul. OF it have
written in "Down at Caxton's" I lay down
on the green sward under the benefcent shade
of huge palm, wrapped in the odors of a
thousand flowers that sleepily nodded to the
music OF the creamy breakers on the rocky
shore. Books have their atmosphere as we'll as
lost. 1 drew the little volume from my pocket,
and there in that atmosphere akin to the one
in which it was begot. read of life in summer
seas, life that floats along serene and
sweet as bell note on a calm,
frosty night. Since those days 1 have re-
read the volume in the lumber shantles
of the Adirondacks with pleasure not whit
abated. l have given the book to others, men
and women of the highest cultivation, and
their criticism was summed up in the word
delicious" Robert Buchanan, a critic to be
reckoned with, has chided America for its
apathy to such man of genius as Mr. Stod-
dard. Rudyard Kipling declared that the
reading of "South Sea Idyls" made him
anxious to roam again. A book that can draw
and Howells such whole-hearted sympathy
breathes IN its pages what Hazlitt calls the
"silent air of immortality" Such a book has
no need of the minnow critics who bite at
everything that falls in their pool. When such
authors as Mr.. Stoddard go a-fshing they dis
daip such fry.

POETRY BY THE BUSHEL.

Carsner B. Jean writes to THE CALL that

Of sample effusions dashed off at odd times

forerunner TO the book which he threatens
TO print. Carsner has been writing poetry
since before the war, and has great wads
Of the stuff slowed away ready to be bum

press shall have decorated him with the
bardic wreath. Here is one of the touch
ing stanzas from his "Harp OF America" ::
Sweet harp of America in mourning awake thee,
Unhonored, Gnheard thou hast slumbered too
long.
May never the bard of the future forsake thee,
But give TO thy glory one tribute of song.
Mr.. Jeans general merits as poet may
be very safely estimated from the foregoing

beautiful. II Tom Moore could see that
stanza he would be overcome with sorrow

relates some of the matrimonial expert
ence of Derrick Lipscombe. 'tofficer in

made to tell his own story in manner
that is both fresh and rich with humor.
The present novel will not detract, by any
means, from the reputation of the author
OF "Bootles' Baby" Derrick meets his
charmer in the person of Miss Geraldine
Brodie, lone of the incest girls in Lon
don." He lays siege to her heart. He
discovers that Geraldine is brimful of
charity for the poor and downtrodden. and
she becomes dearer still to him on that ac-
count. He even smiles encoura gingly on
the blessed work, and she is constantly

merous societies for the welfare of chill.

Her maid has beau in the regiment. and
she tells Geraldine how inhumanly the
fellow is treated how ill-fed and tyrannlzed
over generally. The man deserts and a
rumpus is threatened over the affair. The
maid prevails on Geraldine to visit her
home, where the officers wife sees the
deserter and hears his story. At the
entreaty of her maid, Geraldine vows never
to reveal what she has seen or heard re-
garding the escape. How yer, she let's out
part of the story in an effort to excuse the
deserter's conduct to Derrick; but Der

met with refusal. She finds that her
promise has put the interests of traitor
against the interests of husband. The
police will be certain to find out about the
visit of an officers wife to the hiding-place
of deserter. This, coupled with sworn
secrecy, would precipitate scandal. To
prevent any unpleasantness, Derrick
quietly sends in his papers, and Geraldine,
having got safely out of scrape, makes

LARGEST AND SMALLEST BOOKS.

Professor Max Muller of Oxford, in a re-
cent lecture, has called attention to the
largest book in the world, the wonderful
"Kutho Daw." 1t consists OF 729 parts in
the shape Of white marble plates, covered
with inscriptions, each plate built over
with temple of brick. 1t is found near
the old priest city OF Mandalay, in Burmah,
and this temple city of more than 700
pagodas virtually makes up this monster
book, the religious codex of the Buddhists.
In accordance with the three parts of
which it is composed, generally called in
figurative sense baskets" the whole is
often termed "the three baskets" and con-
stitutes library larger than the Bible and
Koran together. AS the Jews figured out
that the Old Testament contained IS, ,493
words and 2,72s,1 letters, so the Bud
s.Tipitaka" contains 1920 stanzas
and S,S0S eco syllables. This monster
book is written in Pail. Rather
strange to say it is not an ancient produc-
ton, but its preparation was prompted by
the Buddhistic piety of this century. It
was erected in 1857 by the command of
Mindomin, the second OF the last Kings
of Burmah. As the influence OF the tropical
climate has already marred the inscrip-
tions, British official, Mr.. Farrars. pro-
poses to have these 729 plates carefully
photographed, and asks that the Govern
ment, or some friend of science able to do
so, make provisions for this. Professor
Muller urges that this be done in order to
preserve at least the pictures of this unique
temple-city book.
noteworthy contrast to the Kutho
Daw is furnished, according to the Literary
Digest, by recent German literary jour
nal describing what is probably the
smallest book in the world. This is
"Konversarionsexlc published in Ber-
lin and prepared by Daniel Sanders. The
volume occupies the space of only six
cubic centimeters (.366 cubic inch), al.
though it is claimed to contain IFS, 900
words. The book must be read through a
microscope especially prepared for 1T.

ROBERT ATTERBURY.

Thomas H. Brainerd, author of "Go
Forth and Find" has written new novel,
Robert Atterbury," which deals with the
problem of marriage. One of the lessons
which the story is intended to convey is
that, as rule, marital infelicity results
from the fact that couples enter the mar

citation OF the seriousness of the step they
are taking in matter of lifelong import

between the parties which should precede
the assumption of the marriage relat icn.
The hero of the story witnesses the de-
