"Archbishop's Unguarded Moment


THE Archbishops Unguarded Moment
and Other Stories" by Oscar Fay
Adams. L. G. Page & Co. Boston, pub
g. fishers. For sale by the St Paul Book
and Stationery company.
Those who have read other stories than
the purely clerical narratives contained IN
this volume will readily recognize the
cosmopolitanism of the author. Nearly all
of this collection has been first published
in such American magazines as the Cos
mopolitan, Munsey's Magazine and the
New England Magazine. particularly
"Why the Bishop Left Rye Beach" The
Evolution of a Bishop" and "A Night
With William of Wykeham." The work
before us might we'll be named The
Book of Bishops" for of all the as
sembled stories bishops and archbishops
are the heroes There are English bish-
ops and American bishops; some of the
scenes are laid in Norfolk England;
others in Rye Beach, New Hampshire, and
other towns along the Atlantic sea-
board.
OF course the reader must not under
take this book in the expectation of
finding exciting events or romantic de-
tails. Indeed, Fox's Book of Martyrs is
more wildly sensational But he will find
picted in a clear. forcible and scholarly
style not equal perhaps to George Eliot's
Scenes From Clerical Life" but of in
terest to church people, and, undoubtedly,
as strong and realistic as the prosaic
lives Of the authors characters will adj

poems have already appeared In various

not have strength, but he has a delicate
sympathy with nature and life ard we
are glad to have him sing to us while

"Averages."

Averages; Story of New York" by
Eleanor Stuart. d. Appleton & Co.
New York, publishers. For sale by the
st. Paul Book and Stationery company.
We have here the story Of woman
who wrote a story. She named it
Worlds Wee and it was quite a lit
erary success. Then this successful and
delighted author fell into great fear that
her identity would be discovered by her
husband, and she would fall In his est-
nation, for he was not literary and was
especially strong in his conviction that
no woman should permit herself to be-
come a writer. The ways and means
adopted to keep the secret from her" hus-
band compose the main plot of the story
or Averages" although there are other
side issues and a number of sub-love
passages incidental 20 other personages
Inc characters of Averages" are
neither top-notchers of New York So
ciety nor types from the slums. They
are all average people, and the highest
aspiration of Cornelia, Mrs. Rurnham,
and the anonymous author, is to secure
average happiness. The proofre ader has
assisted the author to make one tri1ing
error in calling her publishers In one
place Rathbone, Specs e Perry, and in
other places Specs & Perry, but In the
matter Of sustaining interest in the work
thlS does not in the least Interfere The
tragic portion of Averages appears in
the death Of Danny" Burnham, Cor
nella,s husband, but not until after his
WIFE had confessed to him the secret that
she was Annie McNulty, the author Of
Worlds Woe" True, Danny was not
much of man, a rather poor creature
at MS best but the dUtiful-and conVcn-
uonal-Cornelia respected him as her hus-
panc and was ever loyal and cheerful
Eut 1t is made plainly evident that she
was driven INTO literature through sheer
ennui. Following his death she renarries
ana hnds the sympathy denied her by her
norse-loVing, ctgar-smoking, frivolous
nrst husband. She writes no more

teresting. But perhaps this is a tm1ch of
realism. Are not the lives of MANY of

tlOn-NeVest hooks of the Week,
THE NV Pacific" by Hubert Howe
bancroft. The Bancroft company New
York publishers. For sale by the ST.
Paul Book and Stationery COMPANY
In this volume Mr.. Bancroft has given
us one of the most valuable and timely
books of the season. Here is a work In
which everyone can be interested and
one, too, from which a flood of light can
be derived on the principal political issue
of the day. In 73O pages the author has
contributed, aside from a vast quantity
Of historical information concerning Our
New Possessions" in the Orient, an ex-
haustive and carefully written recapitula-
ton of the causes which, from the be-
ginning of the war with Spain, led up to
the present status quo of the Philippines.
While the author of The New Pacific
frankly opposes the policy of expansion,
ne has written impartialy and given his
audience the benefit of every argument
that has been adduced in favor of that
policy. This he has done in two brilliant
argumentative chapters, imperialism;
the Policy of Expansion" and THE Other
Side of'the Question In the former Mr.
Bancroft says, touching upon but one of
many salient objections to the retention
Of the islands:
"Our war with Spain was undertaken
for the accomplishment of a purnosa
and under pledge of the government that
territorial ACKNOWLEDGMENT was no part
Of that nose. To break the pledge Is
national dls-}onor; and to say that In
lemnity is not Imperialism or that Asiatic
Stands are not Cuba, is too near qu.b-

How can we. without exposing ourselves to
the charge of insincerity and deceit, adopt
a policy which we so lately voluntarily
repudiated? We should have respect for

"In satan.s Realm.

I'm Satan's Realm" by Edgar c. Blum.
Price, *l.25. Rand, McNaiiy & Co, pub
fishers. Chicago and New York.
Everything in this book is new and re-
markable. In the introduction we are in
formed that an enterprisipg reporter
signing for new worlds to conquer went
abroad. From Europe he cabled tales of
alliances and intrigues startlingly natural
and interesting-such as appear In the
newspaper issues OF the day and are con-
tradicted in the next.
Not satisfied with his broader field, the
reporter visited a remote island inha bitcd
by cannibals. There, after appropriate
religious ceremonies, he was promptly
slaughtered, cooked and eaten. The king
did the carving with his own royal hands,
and partook of the feast with great rel
ish. Promoted, thus, to the widest and
most interesting field Of observation nos
sible, the reporter-true to the Instincts
of his profession-violated, in some OF his
stories, the sacredness of heaven whittier
he went at first, and for this offense he
was straightway banished to hell
In hell everything was different from
his preconceptions. mo fault could be
found with the climatic conditions
The air was cool and bracing." The re-
porter was forced to conclude that the
prophets of the earth, who had made
forecasts of the weather there, could not
have studied the subject on the spot.
He was still more surprised that hell was
a place of perfect order and quiet in
place of the clamor and discordant raw
ing'' he had been led TO expect
The greatest surprise of all was in the
monarch Of this realm. He was grand,
terrible, of massive proportions and
dreadful mein: but his feet were not
cloven, he wore no visible horns, and in
stead of the expected red attire he was
clothed I'm prevailing black.
Still, even the reporter was abashed
before the majestic presence of the I'm
mortal master" and learned, to his great
establishment and qualification, that "for
certain reasons this powerful monarch
would accord him an interview, and al
low him to accompany his party on
particular tour of inspection, with the
privilege to transmit to earth an account
of these proceedings. What took place
is here described by him without any
change or exaggeration'

"GrayIOck Manor"

THE Romance of Graylock Manor" a
novel, by Louise F. P. Hamilton Rand,
McNaIly & Co., publishers, Chicago and
New York.
Only woman, and not every woman
who WITHSTAND writes well-could have
penned the sentences of this tender ro-
nance. The appeal is direct from the
heart to the heart, from the moment one
comes to the heart-story of Lucille and
John Ledew to the closing chapter where
In are depicted the blended hues of a.
love sorely tried and richly satisfied, and
Of a widowhood bereaved but resigned
and dignified in sorrow. The nature that
has hardened under the prevailing spirit
OF these times, and has begun to discount
end sheer at sentiment, might find an
antidote for it's disease in the refined
spirituality and the throbbing heart-life
portrayed in this story. 1t is to be re-
