History Up to Date" by William A.
Johnston. A. s. Barnes &c Co., New
York. For sale by the st. Paul Book
and Stationery company.
That the events of the war of 1895 are
still matter of public interest, at least
in the opinion of numerous publishers,
is seen in the large number of works that
it has called out, which are being offered
to the friendly hands of hypothetical pur-
chasers. Mr.. tombstone undertakes to
tell the whole story of war by land and
sea in Cuba and the Philippines 1t is
done under the conviction that the Mon
roe doctrine is dead; that the United
States is henceforth out seeking for ad-
ventures, and frankly states that COM
mercial reasons had much to do with tie
beginning of the war. Whether new era
of politics has come is by no means set
tied, but as the author does not spend
our time on this matter, he may be for
given for the assumption from a personal
point of view. The facts as already
given to the public in newspapers and
magazines have been condensed, and are
again presented in a sufficiently attrac-

The list of Della Foxs admirers is a
list of the bon vivants of all the large
cities Of America, and some of the cap

theater and her suite of apartments at
the hotels were filled to suffocation with
J flowers. Her collection of jewels is
scarcely rivalled by that of any other

to win plaudits is gone. The dance Of

Z own affair. There are bits of philosophy,
as we'll as pictures of human life pre-
scented to us. For instance: "Give
people a great idea and they will find out
how to apply it to every concern of life"
The depth of that remark is revealed
when one recalls how inexorabIy logical
people are through a subconscience in
stinct in going further often than their
leaders have dreamed. His philosophy
of history Is expressed in a sentence:
Zone by one the nations of the world
come to their own, have free play FOR
their faculties, express themselves, and
eventually pass on into silence" But
with Mr.. Thayer this movement is by no
means organic, he rather accepts the
point Of view of Carlyle, and for him
events are significant as exhibiting the
influence of the individual on the multi
tude." Mr.. Thayer has an instinct for the
salient points in the lives of his people,
knows how to omit and how to condense.

of each crop Is prefaced with brief
historical sketch, then the physical con-

irish hearts will thrill at the reading
of this story,gwhich opens In the year 1867,
the year forever remembered in Ireland s
history, when athe Republican Brother
hood made such brave but unavaiing eff
forts to throw off the yoke of English
oppression.
No tale can rival a genuine Irish story
told by an Irishman, with It's high lights
OF humor and it's deep darles CO pathes,
all interminSled with the exciting scenes
OF the trying times of '67
Maurice Desmond, an Irish farmer, is
the leader of the brotherhood, whose
meetings and plans are secret. The bro
therhood is betray ed by miserable cow
ard employed on Desmond's farm, and
the brave leader is arrested, found guilty
of high treason and sentenced to hang.
Before the execution he declares that
his only wish is that his little son, Ger
aid, may follow in his footsteps.
Gerald grows to- manhood, endowed
with the fire of deep feeling and high
wrought, enthusiasm which is at once
the blessing and the curse Of mis- country
men.
Three important events in the young
mans life take place at about the Same
time. he graduates from college, falls In
love, and enters the British army. He
pleads the excuse for the last i'll that ne
needs the knowledge of army tactics,
which the training will give him, should
his countrymen ever again unite in an

Zululand, where they see some fighting,
and Gerald wins the friendship of some
good English fellows, and eventually re-
ceiyes the Victoria cross "for valor only
Radiant with" success he returns to
Ireland and hastens to his old home, only
to find a deserted village and to hear the
oft-repeated story of landlord scoundrel-

hand in hand with it.
His mother, sister and sweetheart are
dead, and on their graves he swears that
he will never rest until he accomplishes
