Many things happen in Mr.. Bachelors book
A tragedy in the first chapter sends Eben Hol-
Den and small boy out into the world to shift

The boy wins mis- way to prosperous manhood
He comes to New-York and is befriended by
Horace Greeley. he goes to the war he enters
Congress-, and he marries the girl he loves
But William Brewer. this lucky orphan, gives
less to the story than Uncle Eben Holden, the
honest rustic who saved him in his boyhood
from the clutches of a dissOlute uncle, found
him a home among good people. and did more
than anyone else to form his character Incl
dentally Eben moralizes on all things under the
sun, moralizes with a quaint humor that en-
livens the book from beginning to end. 1t is a
tale of old fashioned sentiment wholesome and
amusing.

ground. 1t is in The Mystery OF Joseph La

his new book, that he accOmpishes this feat
Using a motive not dissimilar to that Of THE
Greatest Story in the World" he makes the
reincarnation of souls seem far more plausible
than in Mr.. Kipling's story, and gives his work
altogether a finer finish and attractive
note But everything in this volume is good.
The stories have an original SAVIOR and while
at times this means chiefly the invention of
amazing situations the author has an artistic

""The Lane That Had no Turning is a capt.
tai narrative Of romance, temptation and
tragedy. It's companions are briefer but no
less effective. Mr.. Parker has the Of
drama, OF picturesQueness, and he loves the
types he introduces into his stories He paints
genuine atmosphere and color. and though he
treats of the men and manners of earlier time
he keeps both alive through remembering

is captivating in its variety and freshness, in
the neat turn which is given TO each story that

employed by the Brooklyn Club. They

weight. Declared on

NEW YORK, April 2.-Jim Jeffries will
not undertake to meet three men at the
Broadway Athletic Club on April 10. The
champion the other day signed to face
three heavyweights in six-round bouts in
succession at that place. A hitch occurred
regarding the selection of desirable oppo-
nents. Bill Brady said today:
THE cause of calling matters off is due
to the fact that Jeffries' prospective ad-
versaries are too exorbitant in their de-
mands. and are holding out for fabulous
purses, which of course, we will not give.
Many persons want TO know why Jeffries
does not take on frst-class boxers instead.
but that would be foOlhardy in view of the
fact that he is not in the best condition,
and moreover, he does not care to take
any chances which would prevent him from
keeping his engagement with Corbett.
