HAMA, translated from the Polish of
Henry Sienkiewicz by jeremiah
Curtin, with portrait of the author
and his daughter. Crown 8vo. Cloth,

The new volume by the author of
"Quo Vadis" comprises over $50 pages,
about one third being occupied by the
story which gives the book its title,
HAMA" 1t is a romance of strength
and tenderness and powerful character
ization, it's scenes being laid in Poland.
In addition to "Hania." the volume in
cludes the authors latest story. "On
the Bright Shore" romance of Monte
Carlo: philosophical religious story of
the crucinXion, entitled Let Us Follow
Him." which suggested to Sienkiewicz
the idea of writing Quo Vadis"; a
sketch entitled Tartar Captivity"; the
germ of with Fire and Sword" and
other volumes of the great trilogy; Eu-
morous novelette, entitled "That Third
Woman etc. This is in all ways well
come book, because it shows us side of
Sienkiewicz never seen in any former
story-the practical, the human, side. By
this we mean a phase that we did not as
sociate with his character, the capacity
to relapse into other moods than the in
teflsely dramatic one which pervades
"Quo Vadis," for instance. Here we
have variety, witty and even humorous
short story that closes the volume,
showing versatility that comes to us
with glad surprise.
One of the most striking stories in the
volume is Tartar Captivity" and it is
indeed wonderfully strong bit of writ
ing. We copy one paragraph of its con-
clusion, which is worthy to be treasured,
although it comes from stronger lips:
"A man passes like traveller through
the world, and should not be concerned
for himself, but only for the common
wealth, which Is, and must be, without
end

The following fine poem is taken from

deep note of Kiplngs Lest We For
get:
FULFILLMENT
Thou living God, we know Thou art
Within each truly humble heart:
We know Thou dost not dwell apart
From perfect love. Thy great love hath
Shown us Thy wlsdoms better path
How shall we hope to stay Thy wrath.
Hast Thou our brothers pleadings heard.
Since In our hearts the ancient word
OF sacrifice hath once more stirred?
Had we forgot all pride of birth.
Our offerings were better worth
Than kingship over sea and earth.
When gav'st Thou us dominion, Lord?
Or gav'st us Thine almighty sword,
Which we have seemingly restored?
We know Thou gav'st us length of days,
Freedom to walk along the ways
OF Thine own love-and for Thy praise,
We know. oh Lord. the passing hours
Thine angels are. with awful powers
To make Thy life at one with ours.
Yet spare us. Lord. If through the din
OF wasteful wars we fail to win
The way Thy wisdom leads us in.
Thy fear hath shaken hands that rcels
With brothers blood, and still would seek
To hold their brthright from the meek
Once more to us voice is sent,
Crying from out the wild. Repent,
Repent" and evermore Repent!
All! to repent were mere remorse,
Without Thy love. A water-course
May rise no higher than it's source.
Without Thy law of love, o God!
Well may we bend beneath the rod,
Yea! bow our foreheads to the sod.
Ye sons of Abraham's true seed
Beware the boast of blood and breed
Shall fail you in your utmost need.
Up from these very stones shall rise
True sons of God Beneath these skies
There is one only sacrifice.
Hath He been offered up IL, vain,
That Holy one Or was he slain
Indeed! Shall Christ come not again!
Have we forgot? Shall we forget
His law of love? o. live we vet
Under the law OF blood and sweat?
Thou God of Love, be with us still:
Maker OF worlds. make Thou our will
At one time Thine; Thy law fulfill.

TALES OF SUNLAND. BY Werner z.
Reed, author of "Lo-to-kah." H.
lustrated by b. Maynard Dixon. Con-

This volume of short stories and
sketches of Arizona and New Mexico
bears the following legend.
In the sad southwest, in the mystical sun
land,
Far from the toll and the turmoil of gain,
Hid in the heart Of the only-the one land
Beloved of the Sun and bereft of the
Rain.
There are eight numbers in the vol
ume, beginning with can Enchanted
Night" and ending with 1.-THE Bruja
Bonita" All these are strange, weird
tales, we'll told, but not of the highest
order of merit. 1t is a volume that any
one interested in the literature of the
great southwest will naturally want to
read.
PUNCTUATION. By F. Horace Teall

| Mr.. Teall is not unknown to the world

on the Standard dictionary, and is the
author of several critical works on the
English language. Besides a full and
exhaustive treatment Of the subject of
punctuation, there are chapters on "Hy-
phenization," "Capitalization' and
Spelling and there is, too, full index
More than this, unlike most educational
works, it is charmingly printed and
bound-in fact, one of the handsomest
volumes of the year, it's very daintiness
suggesting it's fitness to lie on the table
where the whole household can con-
stantly be reminded of it's Importance.
Perhaps the portion of the book which,
will be oftenest consulted is the long
list of words showing, side by side, their
different spellings, although it is all
good and all important.
