In his recent retirement as editor Of
the Atlantic Monthly. Mr.. Walter IL.
Page gave no reason to his friends for
the change Two suggestions have ap-
peared in the press, one in a North
Carolina paper that in his new position
Mr.. Page will receive a larger salary
than is paid to the editor of the Atlantic
Monthly. The Springfield Republican
contained an intimation that New Eng
landers did not take kindly TO having 4
Southerner as the editor of the maga-
zine that for generations has stood as
the peculiar exponent of New England
literary thought and culture. Mr.. Page
is "a man who never discusses his private
affairs and would not do so in order to
correct a glaring mistake. He has a
theory that mans work, no matter
where done, must tell the story of his
life and that the work is the only thing
that counts. 1t is this faith that has
kept even from his friends inside facts
in his literary as well as business life.

tribulations and heroic achievement have
not been accepted by historians. 1t has
remained for the writer's of historical
novels to take these tales of daring and
incorporate them into stories that inter-

one lays down the novel, he is impressed
that it is all true except the names. And

.The Boys of Scrooby" is narrative
of our own country in which the truth
has not been trified with or sacrificed.
The story, full of exciting advcn IRE
enough to hold the interest from start to
finish. deals with the early days when
an Indian massacre was as common as
a modern strike or labor trouble. 1t
tells of the part Natauquans played in
the jamestown massacre, the devotion
of Hobbomak to the Pilgrims, giving the
distinctive characteristics of the early
Virginian, the Puritan, the New Neither
landers and the Dutch. The concluding
sentence in the book says of stock like
theirs was to come the new race who
made the America of today In these
latter days we are prone to speak of
England as Americas mother country"
forgetting that we have new race here,
made up of the best blood from all the
nations of Europe.

worthy companion story to I'm the

one of the modern classics in the library

Mr.. Pages retirement from the editor
shin of the Atlantic Monthly it is a mat
ter to be regretted. 1t is no reflection
upon his predecessors. who have EN-
braced the first men of letters that New
England has produced, to say that Mr..
Page gave to the Atlantic a freshness
and touch with American life and
thought that gave it AN increased inter
est. 1t may be that the New England
cult objected to the breadth and mod
ernness'' SO to speak that was stamped
upon it, and feared that under the edi-
torship of the cosmopolitan Southerner
the Atlantic would not have the par
ticular New England flavor which they
like Whatever the reason, Mr.. Page
has the satisfaction of knowing that,
not even under the editorship of Ameri-
cas- first literateur, did the Atlantic
pressions of approval from Those who
are most competent to judge of what is
and what is not literature. The At
lantic is an Constitution. 1t is as GER
tain to live forever as is anything in
America 1t is deeply rooted, and
whether Mr.. Page, Mr.. Bliss, or Mr..
Somebody else is its editor, the Atlantic
like the brook will ''go on forever" 1t
always gives the best in every line that
mature scholarship and genius and lit
erary style can inlpart.
The September issue of The Book
Buyer has good picture of Mr.. Page,
and writing of his retirement from the
ATLANTIC. says:
EARLY in August Messrs. Houghton,
Houghton, Miffiin & Co. sent out
printed announcement to their friends
that Mr. Walter III. Page, editor of the
Atlantic Monthly since 1896, ''has ac-
eepted an invitation to take a prominent
post in the direction of the literary work
of the allied houses of Harper & Broth
ers and the Doubleday d Mcclure Go.
The announcement goes on TO say that
the editorship of the mg gazine IS TO he
taken up by Mr.. Bliss Perry, whose de-
yotion TO literature has be,:1 Shown 70
his work as professor at William and
Princeton, in the scholarly editing Of
books and in the creation of notable tic-
ton. He leaves to Mr. Perry a maya
zine amply provided with the impetus
of success, and an opportunity to carry
forward work of the utmost signih-
canoe in American letters. Mr.. Perry
is still under forty years of age, five
more than Mr.. Howells could count when
he came into the chief editorship of the
Atlantic. On every account there is
ample reason to look to the new man
agement of the magazine for a strong
continuance of all the good things it has
represented in its forty-two years of ex-
istence.
"Mr Page is Il man i'll the prime of

Whitney Publishers, Houghton,
Mifflin & Co, Boston and New York.
This is one of twenty-five books by
Mrs. Whitney, the most popular writer
for girls in America. A library containing
none but Mrs Whitney's books would be
a model library for any family of young
girls. They embrace novels, healthy
and natural, poems of merit that tend
to elevate, songs for church seasons,
friendly letters, and domestic instruc-
ton. 1t is wonderful how one woman
has written so much that is wholesome
and interesting. Like Mrs. Olipilant,
the author of Square Pegs" writes
with an ease and fecundity that is a
marvel to all those who write only by
rewriting and by slow process. Mrs.

He talked an hour and a half and
again made the. only speech Of the

under consideration were Spanish gov

pay Spain for the improvements made
in the Philippines and reasons for ex-
tending to Spain the benefit Of an
open-door policy in her former possess

New York, Feb. Terry MEG overn
Of Brooklyn met Casper Leon of this
city before the Greenwood Athletic
club in Brooklyn in a bout which was
scheduled for twenty five rounds. Leon.
weighed in at ITO, McGovern just
scaling the limit. Fast fighting
marked the first half dozen rounds
with McGovern always on the agrees
i've. Casper was unable to return with
anything but jabs which proved inef-
fective.' In the eighth, ninth and tenth
rounds the pace slackened somewhat,
with McGovern doing the better work.
In the twelfth and final round Mccoy
ern cut loose when he found his op-
ponent partly disabled, and showered
blow after blow with both hands on
tie face and neck, while Casper
seemed unable to keep up his guard.
Toward the close of the round McGov-
ern caught Leon near the ropes and
hooked left-hand on the point Of the
jaw, sending the New Yorker prone to
the floor, where he lay helplessly until
the referee counted him out
