THE NOVEL OF THE DAY.

literary Circles is THE Open Question:
the novel by the well known American
actress Elizabeth Robins. The book was
published in England last autumn, and
came TO America with the stamp of ap-
prevail of the best English critics. The
noted artist. Whistler, has pronounced 1t,
in his estimat ton, the novel of the age,
and at some time or other we may look
for an edition with appropriate ilustra-
lions from his brush. DR. Kellner. the
who was struck at first sight with the
artistic power of the novel AS soon as
he had read it he wrote to Miss Robins,
asking that he be permitted to translate
it into German With such a European
record behind this book, it is of interest
to note its reception in the authors native
country. New York critics are very much
divided in their opinions, but all agree
that it is novel of unusual power, and
one that is destined to be talked about
through the length and breadth of the
land. One critic said that it was one of
the great American novels Another was
certain that it was anything but that, and
while admitting the genius of the writer,
condemned the book severely. The opin-
ions of other critics have varied between
these extremes. but they have all given
the book the full discussion which it mer-
tied. The novel which has created such
lantic is called "A Tale of Two Temper
aments.'' and is study of an American
family that has degenerated through long
continued inter marriage and inherited
disease. This family-the GanoS-were
prominent southern people and were re-
duced to poverty by the war, after which
they removed to a small town somewhere

4 Drunken Indian Tries to Take Pos

William View, an Indian from the
Pottawatomie reservation. stopped in
Topeka on his way to visit his sisters
1T the Indian school at Lawrence and
for good part of his visit this one

outside world at least, by the walls of
the city prison.
He had too much fire water. 1t spoil

wandered round North Topeka late at
night hunting for his wigwam. He made
a mistake and decided that a house
near Sayweu and Logan was his
abode SO he forced the front door in,
tried to turn the family out of bed and
bunk there for the night
The occupants of the house objecte I'd

ried him out and laid him in the street
and sent for a policeman. The officer
and the patrol wagon arrived and took
the soundly sleeping man to the police
station. This morning it cost him three
dollars lodging bill and he paid it.

Public Monuments For Women

From the Chicago Post
Three well known women who passed
away last year are to have monuments
dedicated to their memory. The alum
nae of Vassar college are to fill an al
cove with works of art as model study
for pupils in memory of Reubena Wal
worth, who lost her life as a nurse dur
ing the late war; the Daughters of the
Confederacy will add a wing to the
Georgia Industrial college at Milledge-
Vile, in loving tribute to Winnie Davis,
and the friends of Mime. Romero, the
American wife of the Mexican minister
and one of the most beloved women of
Washington, will furnish and endOw in
her honor a room in the Garfield Mem
orial hospital. Here are three monu-
mentS that must commend themselves
to all people. and yet after all is said
and everything admitted on this the hui
manitarian side of the question, the fact
remains that public statues to eminent
people are excellent things.
If there should ever be in this country
a woman's statuary hall it would have
to be both long and wide to accommo-
date the number who desire places
therein. There would be seen the faces
of some of those wonderful women of
pioneer and revolutionary days without
whose aid the masculine builders of
this new civilization would have la
bored in vain-such women as Lydia
Darrah. Molly Pitcher, Mrs. Motto,
Martha Washington and Abigail Adams,
whose pen wrote the first Declaration of
Independence. Literature would have a
long list, beginning with Margaret Full
Ter and coming down to Julia Ward
Howe and Frances Hodgson Burnett.
Science would claim a place for Maria
Mitchell. The stage could have no bet
ter representative than Charlotte Cush-
man and Mary Anderson. For deeds of
daring there would be two companion
pieces-Ida Lewis, the "Grace Darling"
of America. and Lizzie Zane, the fear
less pioneer maid. who brought to the
besieged settlers in FIT. Henry, Va, a
key of powder from a nearby hut under
a calling fire from the savages. Sparta
in her proudest days would have been
glad to claim these two as her daugh-
tiers.
When it comes to reformers and phil
anthropists the list of women deserving
marble memorials is SO long. the work
ers so evenly matched for devotion and
fidelity, that the difficulty would be to
prune out those who, above their CO.
workers, should be so honored. Such
women as Frances E. Willard, Mary
Barton, Mrs. Livermore and Jane Ad-
dams of Hull House have won for them
selves the gratitude of two continents
and no memorial erected to them could
