manner of the trained newspaper man,
reviews his experiences in Cuba previous
to the intervention by the United States.

..The American In Holland

THE American in Holland" by William
Elliot GrIfis. Houghton, Mifitn & Co.,
Boston.
A very prolific literature has sprung up
on Holland. and particularly in its rela-
lions to America IN the past few years.
As there was a NapoIeonic craze, and
Lincoln apotheosis, so there has come
to be a Holland revival
Among those who have borne an honor
able part in the movement is the Rev.
Dr. Griffis, author of ''The American in
Holland" In this work Dr. GrifT1s, under
the guise Of sentimental rambIes in the
eleven provinces of the Netherlands,
treats the reader to a great deal o. valu-
able historical and modern knowledge,
done up in so picturesque way that the
delightful impression is made that one IS
not at all being ''fmproved-o enter
tanned. If one were disposed to be IN
gracious under such treatment he would
say that sometimes the author is a trife
too vivacfous. This by the way IS not
an unusual vice of clergymen, who abhor
anything like the shop in their speech
and makeup. At any rate the book
smacks of the tourist and the scholar,
and does not exhAt or edify, after the
manner Of the pulpit. But why did DR..
Grtffs omit the Rev" from his title
page, and put after his name the letters
L. H. D.? Was 1t his own effort to escape
his profession, or was this one of the
wise little hints Of the able publishers?
But we ought not to be anxious to go
behind the scenes to see the powder and
the wig put on, If only the after per-
Torrance be satisfactory, and IN this case
it assuredly is a thing worth doing, that
has been well done.
An excellent account of the Inaugural
! ton Of the young queen, Wilhelmina, is
given in the closing chapter. Almost az
simple as an American Inaugural ton was
this Of the Dutch queen, in a kingdom
| that secures even more liberty than was
known in the republic of 1579-17g2. 1t con-
sisted mainly of a remarkably clear and
| strong address by a young girl who, in

.HIstoric side Lights.

Historic Side Lights" by Howard Pay
son Arnold. Harper & Brothers, New
York.
In describing great events the general
historian necessarily overlooks many
points y which readers are interested
his view of the general subject or period
he IS considering compelling him to neg
lect mary entertaining details of which
one would love to hear It is desire
to re cunt few such details that has
led 10 the writing of THIS volume, whose
author has turned the light on several
by-paths from the broad road of history.
and a most entertaining collection of g.
sip, anecdotes ard curious historical facts
has been the result. Benjamin Fra nlklin
John Adams and others of the American
Revolutionary period form the center Of
the gossipy narrative. Who before this
had explained where Benjamin Franklin
received his degree and why his title was
the only one recognized in the famous
congress which signed the Declaration of
Independence? And from whom have we
heard the story of the great seal Of the
United States? And IN what volume have
We read the story of the origin of the
motto of the United States These are
but a few of the "sfde-lights'" and all
are bright and entertaining through 334
pages of a handsome volume
The volume recalls the story Of the
child, to whom was told a thrilling story
of a little girl who was sent with a new
bucket to the spring for water, but was
captured by Indians. The childish mind
overlooking the more important outcome
of the story demanded: But what be-
came Of the bucket?" And we who are
but children grown up have many like
questions.

One day Desmond noticed how thin the

would do her good, so when the syrings
by the garden hedge made the evening
air faint with sweetness, and the white
roses over the porch looked in through

White cottage.
When the summers heat was over.
they came again to the lonely little Hat

black leather frame-the picture of a

an expression of tenderness that the

Then he sat near the ire in an old rock

that he was at the cottage where the
roses near the porch were white and
