The True benjamin. FRANKLIN.

A year or two ago there was published
book entitled THE True George Washing
ton" in which Washington was humanized,
rescued from the myths in which history
and tradition had enveloped him and de-
picted as real man and natural person.
Something OF the same work is done for
another great American in ''The True Ben
jamin Franklin by Sydney George Fisher.
The assumption that the American people
are children who must be fed on myths and
denied the eternal truths of human nature
seems TO be giving way 10 demand for
actual facts and true portraitures of char
acter The story is told that Washington
wrote in one of his letters that a certain
movement of the enemy WOULD mot amount
to a flea bite" but one of his editors struck
out the passage as unfit TO be printed. lie

Of Washington's character, because the his

was not the kind of person that most his

distorted some phases of his character out Of

The most of us have but inadequate and

of the United States could be put into the

1.-THE Destroyers," by Benjamin Swift, is
a peculiar story in that it occasionally leads
the reader to wonder what the author is
driving at However, he brings all things
right in the end, and the proper couples get
married, so that it concludes as all we'll
ordered stories should. There are passages
of excellent description and pages of ana
lytical dissection of human acts and i'm

Swift has in mind is the great passion itself
yet he paradoxically makes one of his
characters assert that it destroys II it is
uncurbed and does the same if it be cul bed.
There are several good characters in the
book and the bad ones are so well drawn
that they may be said to be very good from
o literary view. 1t is the old story of the
