The best short biographies of noted
Americans is the Beacon Biographies pub
lished by Small, Maynard & Co. They were
prepared by the best writer's, elegantly
printed, and each gave more than a
panel portrait of the character treated
These little books had wonderfully large
sale and were popular both because of
the delightful style and the handy form,
enabling the reader to carry them easily
in the pocket. The success of the Beacon
Biographies has caused the publishers to
issue in the same style and form short
biographies Of eminent Englishmen giving
the series an appropriate name THE
Westminster Biographies" The first of the
series starts with Englands great poet,
Robert Browning, who died in 1889 1t is
by Arthur Waugh who leaves you after
reading the biography in the mood to de-
sire to read more OF Browning. This is
the very object the author has in view
for in his preface he happily says: but
| the primary object Of the book is, of
couse to lead the reader to tho poems
themselves. We use a rushlight in the
shadow but, when once we arc in the
sun, VIC can see the worlds beauty for
ourselves"

UNLEAVENED BREAD-A Novel. BY
Robert Grant. Publishers: Charles
Scribners Sons, New York.
Judge Grant has succeeded in making
an interesting novel with heroine who
is wholly selfish, wholly unlovable and
who hasn't an attractive side to her char
acter. Why he should wish to introduce us
to some of the cleverest of characters,
grouped around one who is without heart,
appreciation of the good, and is preten-
tious, fawning, hypocritical and shallow
must ever remain a mystery. 1t is in
conceivable that any woman in real life
could be so common and so unfeeling, or
that if such a creature did exist that she
could win the affections of an honest man
and blight his life.
But, bad and impossible as is the lead
ing woman, the book is absorbingly inter-
esting and the authors skill is shown in
holding the interest about character
that has no redeeming trait of true wo-
manlness. No novel of this decade has
been written in purer English. From first
to last the style is engaging and charm
ing. There is a deal of politics in the
story, and up-to-date politics, too-poli-
tics that deal with corruption and an un-
worthy public official who, after making
bargain to stand by the schemes of the
consolidated gas company breaks his
promise by his wifes advice in order
to be United States Senator. The wo-
man-she tempted him and he fell. In
stead of the punishment that would be-
fall the promise breaking politician in a
Sunday school book, Judge Grants politi-
clan was chosen to the Senate. 1t must
be confessed that the story reads like an
actual occurrence in latter day politics.
Mr. W. D. Howells in recent weekly
publication comes forward to point out
again the numerous blemshes in the
work of Charles Dickens, whose humor
says Mr.. Howells, was always "a touch
Of horseplay' and whose pathos was &
''swash of sentimentality." 1t will he il
| order for the conservative critics now K
| rise and annihilate Mr. Howells with
| the weight Of their Indignation. They
| could find no better way of doing so, how
| ever than by showing that in spite o
| the frequent adverse criticisms Dickens
| seems to be losing nothing of his hole
| upon the reading public. Public libraries
| still keep Dickens in duplicate SETS anC
the publishers still find it pays them t.
get out new and sumptuous editions
Many who admit that Dickens hume
| is often farce and Dickens pathos over
drawn still for some reason find satisfac
| ton in him. Even Mr.. Howells read
/ him, 'horseplay, "grotcsque carica
| lures" and all.

Opdyke, M. A. Price $1.00 in cloth, $3.50

The public speaker, the author, the

Nothing brightens up speech or an arti-
Gle, or even an everyday conversation,
like an apt, crisp quotation that wakens
up the attention of the listener or read

freshness and life. Proverbs have been
often called 1.-The wisdom of nations, and
they certainly are like the concentrated
essence Of the good things said and writ
ten in the past Mr.. Opdykes choice in
this almost inexhaustible treasure has
been intelligent and clever; his
method of classification by subjects alpha
betically arranged will prove a povn tc
the reader, and we must admit that, taken
altogether, no other such compilation has
ever united so many points of perfection
in the selection and grouping of these
gems of thought The author has put tC

foreign origin. In it's handsome makeup

In recent current review Senator
Hoar, writing of Senator Tillman, said
that he is IAN honest, manly and able
statesman" The New York Evening
Post places him as "a good lawyer, a
student, man of irreproachable pri-

and with marked capacity for the
routine work of legislation" Ii such
praise continues, the Republicans can

table of the older members of tho family,
this delightful episode from the court
records of Queen Titania, will Erove adj
mirably adapted for storytelling to The
little ones. Mother or elder sister will
find in these pages the inspiration that
is so often sadly lacking in socalled chill
dren's literature. To develop the budding
imagination is task as difficult as 1t is
important, and every step in that diroc-
ton ought ITO be made welcome. We have
no hesitation to state that in "a Fairy

speare, in its purest vein, has been con-
tinued by Miss Chapman into the realms
of Fairyland and will bring boundless
pleasure to its readers.

THE WOMAN THAT'S GOOD, a novel.
BY Harold Richard Vynne. Cloth, 12mo.
Price, S1.5O Rand, McNally & Co.,
Publishers, Chicago and New York.
Mr.. Vynne is one of other Journalists
who has blossomed into writer of sue
cessful fiction. His characters are strong
ly drawn, and he makes his hero. Eustace
Gaunt an interesting character, in spite
of the fact that he has two wives at the
same time. THE Woman That's Good is
his true wife who refuses to live with him
after finding he is not true to her and OBJ
tains a divorce.
The story of the divorce is very pathetic
showing how Elaine loved her husband
as she had always done, but believing
him guilty in the last degree, could not
bring herself 10 continue in married init
macy with him; and how Eustace, once
convinced that she would not relent, facil-
itated the procuring OF divorce in way
to cause the least distress to his wife,
and to keep the name of Imogen Leal from
the public.
