w. W. Story was Ole of the most notable
| figures in American art and literature of
the closing century, and his written and
sculptured works remain as a monument
seldom given by man to himself or by pub
lie appreciation to Its creator. Mr.. Story
was of illustricus family and distinguish
ed himself at an early age. His later life
was spent largely abroad, but he lost none
of his love for his native land, and he is
as deeply regretted at home as though he
had never left these shores. The volume
now published is attribute to his genius.
ard embodies all the elements of a biosra-
ply, being handsomely and fully illus
trated. The book brings out str:kingly the
personality of the sculptor-author with
whom the present biographer had pleas
ant personal acquaintance during several

Poet will doubtless always be divided, one
half singing praises of his strength his
rugged courage and his command of Ian

Indifference to poetic forms, his contempt
for both literary end moral conventional

This story, like Miss Jerry" was writ
ten for monologue delivery, with stereopti-
con illustration. Its publication in book
form curtailed the list of pictures and ex-
banded the text. 1t Is love story set in
New England and Washington scenes. 1t
is not very much of a story. The romance
is not very ins;stent, and the pictures have
evidently distracted the writer. just as
they unQuestionably distract the reader at
times. 1t evidently does not aim to be
classed as a washington novel"
