has handled his subjects fairly and i'm
partially, Whileaat the same time he has
brushed away much that is mystical,
yet has for more than thirty years held
a place In morel elaborate and pretentious
histories of the War Of the Rebellion
In describing these two remarkable bat
ties the author does not neglect the
slightest incident or detail. Speaking as
an eye witness and active participant he
places most vivid pictures before the
reader. The scenes, as described by
him, present wars most horrid-visaged

Deficient Saints a Tale of Maine" by
Marshall Saunders. L. G. Page & Co,
Boston, publishers. For sale by the ST.
Paul Book and Stationery company
1t is an indubitable fact that nearly all
New England stories smack of a local
coloring that Is refreshing. It has been
claimed by French critic that America
is too young in legendary lore to afford
q fertile field for the writer Of romance
But there was literature in England in
less time, dating from It's conquest bv
Julius Caesar, than has elapsed in New
England since Columbus landed on San
Salvador, or Cabot coasted along the
bleak shores Of the North Atlantic. Haw-
thorne, Cooper, Irving, Holmes and Mrs
Stowe have found in New England scenes
much that rivals the best in English lit
erature despite the difference in age and
locality Of tradition.
But Deficient Saints" Is a story of to-
day. Yet modern tale Is far better If
1t possess legendary background. And
New England story Of today usually
carries flavor of antiquity in it's pages
which is not Objectionable, and, In many
instances, adds a piquent charm. The
heroine is Derrice Mercer, but the strong

The student is led, step by step, from
dynamical geology in Part l.. through
structural geology in Part H., to the con-
sideration of historical geology in Part
III. He is trained to observe compare,
classify and describe, by the study of
the geological phenomena, occurring and
the geological agencies at work now on
every side and in most familiar things
He is lead to ask How came It SOP"
and to apply his powers of observation
and his reasoning faculties in answering
this question. The book is neither too
large nor too difficult for the ordinary
high school class and Is clear in state
ment and places, cause and effect, in
such obvious and necessary relations that
the pupil understands, and therefore re-
members. The writer has not popularized
the subject at the expense of scientific
accuracy, and yet the book is exceedingly
interesting.

"The Other Fellow.

Smith Houghton, Mlffiin & Co, pub
fishers. For sale by the ST. Paul Book
and Stationery company.
Mr.. Smith has gathered eleven of his
best stories and published them under
the name of '"The Other Fellow" They
are very readable sketches, as is all of
the authors literary work, and it must
be confessed that the dialect Is far above
the average. F. Hopkinson Smith Is a
trinity in himself. He tells the first
story, "Dick Sands, Convict" in the char
acter of a lecturer. Again, he assumes
his well known personality, that of an
artist, and tells another. And he wins
the readers attention by other narratives
IN which he figures as literary man.
