BOOKS AND THEIR MAKERS

while there are about hundred pages of
| Notes and Illustrations" which are of the
greatest value-indeed, this is one of the
| most thorough and important features of
| the volume. 1t is a superb volume of near
ly thousand pages, and yet so delicate is
the paper that 1t does not seem a bulky
book. 1t is difficult to conceive of any
| thing in the whole line of the modern pub
iisher's art more complete and satisfactory
than this newest volume in the famous
Cambridge Edition of the poets.

WOMAN AND THE SHADOW. A Novel.
BY Arabella Kenealy author of "Dr.
Janet of Harley Street" etc. Rand
McNally 4 Co.
Here we have a lively, even snappy, novel,
all about the smart set in English high
life. 1t isn't story with the highest pur-
pose. or of a very refined order, but it is
peculiarly lively, and in some ways ex-
ceedingly entertaining.

The Fascinations of Golf

Justice Harlan has gone wild about golf.
according to the opinions of his colleagues on
the supreme bench, who insist that no sane
man will get up at o'clock in the morning,
prepare his own cup of coffee, and then walk
couple of miles in order to knock ball
about in the damp grass before breakfast.
But Justice Harlan explains that that is the
only way he can indulge in his favorite pas
time. He has to go to the capitol to attend
consultations between 10 and II o'clock, and
does not get off the bench until 5. He de-
clares that if his colleagues would follow his
example and spend three or four hours in
exercise in the open air every morning it
would be great deal better for the cause

and their employees should have no In

public in general, and why should they

company desires.
We wish that circumstances were such
that we could believe the company is
only anxious that it's employees should
avail themselves Of every opportunity
to become informed on public questions.
that they may act intelligently for the
general interests. This, however cannot
be the motive. for the company is only
pleased when It's employees join Repub-
lican clubs. If they were to divide and
ally themselves to clubs Of the different
parties, like other classes Of the popula-
ton. they would be more apt to act as
their judgments dictate.
What a magnificent display Of disin-
terestedness and patriotism 1t would
have been If the railroad company had
said: I'VE want you to be we'll informed

act advisedly for the common good. Go

1t would be difficult to find a man better
equipped for the work of writing such vol
ume than President Baldwin. From the
very genesis of our political system down
to the Monroe doctrine of 1898. our author
goes to the heart of the history and the
philosophy of the nations growth. Nothing
has been neglected, although some phases
of political questions have been necessarily
treated briefly. OF the first Importance In

are supposed to protect the laborer and

rely upon that sense of justice for pro-

The Queen Bee

According to a paper read before the Sci
entltic society at Preston, England, queen
bee sometimes lays at the rate of 200 eggs
minute and the total weight of tho eggs
is one and half times that of her own body
on a summer day. As she lives four or five
years she must lay about 100000 eggs in the
course of her life. Her eyes are smaller
than those of the other bees, owing to long
residence in the hive. Her sting is 300
times smaller in diameter than a pin, and
as she can seldom draw it out after stinging
a person, she leaves it in and dies afterward.

THE LAST DANCE OF THE LEAVES

l.
Still playing, playing, faithful Pleasure
Keeps a blithe, beguilng measure;
The flowers fallen, the thrushes gone,
Pleasure still is playing on,
Softly calling back the day
Glory by glory slipt away.
The shed leaves, with the rabbits feet,
Move to the music; light and fleet,
They hold once more the happy air,
With memory hold pale revel there
The wind of autumn wakes and blows,
II whistles in the withered close;
Now it laughs and now it grieves;
Weird the music that 1t weaves
For the dances of the yellow leaves.
The sad grass pale and paler grows.
Gray Death, from vale to hill he goes
Still the wind, it half deceives;
Weird the measure that it weaves
For the dances of the dying leaves.

A LOVER OF TRUTH. BY Eliza Orne
White, author of "Winterborough, "A
Browning Courtship," etc. $l.25. HouEh-
ton, Mifflin & Co.
This New England story deals with NOR
ais and manners as eXemplified in the lives
of some average young people who are
left to work out some personal problems in
the old, old way. Jean Reycroft was "a
very good child" but not pretty, and was
also a. disadvantage because she was so
shy. The story starts out when she was
only ten years old. and somehow it seems
to be a story about young people all the
way through, the same people. and just
as young ones, as began their acquaint-
ance when they played Copenhagen" or
went to their first dancing school together,
The actors scarcely get to be real men and
women of the great world. but that does
not take away the point and lesson of the
story, which will abide with the reader.
The book has also considerable humor,
though not equal to "A Browning Court
ship in this regard.

Democratic convention that assemblies

to rally round a standard bearer who
will lead them to success at the polls
