The New York Tribune" says:

Some surprise has been felt that Mrs. Ather-
toms novel, Senator North" published this
week by John Lane, should not have made its
first appearance in this country serial. As
a matter OF fact, the serial rights were sold to
syndicate Of American newspapers. When the
book was examined, however, its treatment Of
American politics considered to be SO irFitst
ing to the sensibilities Of the average American
reader that all of the newspapers refused 20 print

so far as to publish the first four chapters, and
then discontinued it. An examination OF .he

Your bugles blowing shrill and clear;
Calling, still calling. Ills in vain,
l ride not at your call again.
Ay me, and would you stir me yet
To the old hope, the old regret,
The passions and the pains of youth?
Once like the knights of old l went
Riding to tilt and tournament
With shield of Faith and sword of Truth,
Joy sang before me, | was blind
To the grim care that rode behind.
But now within my clustered heart
Far from the world ! dwell apart,
Hearing but what | choose to hear.
Shut out alike are Love and Fear,
The two great brother-gods who go
About the dim world working woe.
Here the sweet air is all unstirred
Even by the far-ielt, distant beat
OF their strong wings, OF their white feet,
Their strange, mad music dies unheard
Ere ever it can pass the bound
That fences this my temple round.
Here would dwell alone. as far
From the fierce world as is the star
That burns upon the brow Of Eve;
No more to JOY, no more to srieve
For ought that moves the lives of men.
All. heart of mine, what thrills thee then
In that faint call that rings altar?

And evernore the bugles call

BY the summer Sea.

Far in the distance meet the sky and sea,
And melt together in an azure haze,
AS dim and dreamy as eternity,
With vast, vague spaces lost in mellow maze.
The white-winged ships arc fitting far away,
The whte-winged gulls circling there on
high;
o srowy wings, long to leave this clay,
Ard follow, follow you through sea and sky!
l watch the pillows with their emerald gloo,ns,
Forever restless, rushing OF. and on,
The breakers beating like an eagles p1umes-
Wild beings, seeking peace forever gone!
Here wadng with their pink and pearly feet,
The beautiful barefoote6 children play;
Their faces like their joys. are fresh and sweet
Blonde childhood III blonde midsummer day!
Their life is laughter and their love is bliss,
Free from regret for persisted years Of yore,
Their world is one great blossom, youth kiss,
Ere stornis shall thunder, FILED for evermore!'
watch them, pensive, till the day is done,
And melancholy twilight follows noon,
TIL like blood-red tulip sinks the sun,
And like q snow-white lily comes the moon.

Green bushes.

The green bushes when first loved you,
When we met and my heart approved YOU
Tossed the gold and the scarlet high,
Gold and scarlet went drifting by.
Ochone, the wind and the weather.
Days when you and were together.
Much we NEEDED the leaf on the tree:
Twas hearts prinStime to you and me.
The green bushes when we were married
White rose and red rose carried.
When you drew me your threshold DER,
Rose and white for our wedding floor.
Oclione, the days that are overi
! beloved, and you my lover.
Little we cared what the world might say.
You and 1 our wedding day.
The green bushes grow thin and shiver,
You and we are lovers ever:
Cheek to cheek and heart to heart.
Still true lovers that none can part
Ochone, winter goes signing.
Love in world OF care and dyings
All, forget that / made you sad.
Yet remember l made you glad.
The green bushes grow grey and vernal
Spring comes back and Love is eternal;
In your arms come kiss, forgive me:
Had you ever the heart to grieve me- Ochone7

There Is an interesting chapter concern
ing the characteristics Of the Indian which
might well cause those readers who be-
lieve that the only good Indian is dead
one to modify their views:
The common belief that the Indian is
stoical, stoid or sullen is altogether erroneous
ihey are really merry people, good natured, and
ocular. usually ready TO laugh at an amusing in
cident or joke with simple mirth that reminds
one of children. No people are more
easily handled; none respond more quickly to
genuine interest; none give more frankly and en-
tirely. their trust when it is shown to be de
served.
In dealing with the educational question
the author claims that no class OF persons
recognizes the inadequacy of the present
efforts to educate the Indians so fully as
those who are engaged in the work. The
tendency in recent years has been to give
the Indian children elaborate educations
and to educate only small portion OF
them.
II twice as many could be taught English and
the simplest branches OF learning-the boys the
of stock and the use of tools required about
a ranch, the girls how to cook, how to keet. the
house clean, ard to make simple clothing eco
nomicaily-the progress OF the race would be very
much more rapid and very much more to the pur-
pose than it is now.
The author sums up chapter on Life
on the Reservation" with this paragraph:
The confinement, the monotony, the sickness,
the insufficient food, and the general hopclessness
of it all make life the reservation dreary
enough. for in most cases the people have not yet
reached point where they have anything to LOOK
forward to-
Not the least attractive feature of the
work is the collection of legends gathered
under the caption of Beliefs and Stories
They are not only captivating as larry
tales, but, according to the wise searchers
into the beginnings of things, who assert
that the true genesis of a people is 10 be
found in its folklore fables, should be
especially valuable, as so little is known
of the pre-Columbian Indian, except
through his customs and myths.
The book is picturesquely bound In
brown khaki canvas and illuminated with
an Indian buck in war feathers and paint.

Rough riders over ditch ard fence.

And stick the Carmine. white and blue.

But hout the browuish kind Of muck
And disrespect the Torrid Zone.

From Honolulu ard Ladronc.
We sniff the saver Of the seas,
Light-handed, hearted. prodigal.
World-hungry for the autipodcs;
We scale the Morro-tra.s with case
From Philippines to Clrihbees,
And swelter IN the chaparral.
We sniff the SAVIOR Of the seas.
Light hearted, handed, prodigal.

Sad Little Face.

Little sad face, come close, so close to mine,
See through these eyes the sweetness of the day
Feel how the sunbeams dance in summers wine,
Hold fast my hands and let our pulse combine.
And with my steps dance down the happy way;
For youtii is love, and love Is light and gay,
Little sad face.
Little sad heart, come close. so close to mine.
And know the utmost limits OF the will
OF all the worlds, till soft thy heart divine
JOY which encompass grief like thine:
Hide in my breast, and let faint pulses thrill
For youth is love. ard love is srea. and still.
Little sad heart
Little sad soul, which ne'cr can come close to
mine.
So great in Loneliness OF gray despair.
There is not one whose spirit may entwinc
With thee, the world looks on without sign;
Go hide thy face within thy tossing hair.
Thyseli veil close with smiles, for will care.
Little sad soul.
