The HUer wur,

with 'Bobs' and Kruger" by Frederic
William Unger, is another collection OF
those "reminiscences of war correspond
ents which have been plentiful of late in
connection with the war In South Africa.
Mr.. Unger served with both armies at one
time or another and took his camera with
him. Most OF his illustrations of the book
are from pictures taken by himself. He
has made a strong effort to be impartial,
and has said pleasant things about both
Lord Roberts and the President of the
Transyaal Republic.
Some of his views on the question Of
loot" are interesting if not exactly scien-
tinc from a military point Of view. He
says:
Napoleon thoroughly understood
this principle In human nature, and,
though it may be truly said, He car
rted the art of war back five hundred
years 10 the Middle Ages, yet was
there ever so devoted and energetic
body of men as those fearless legiOns
of France who warred for twenty
years across the wrinkled face Of
tortured Europe? No. If war be right
in any case, then be consistent and let
the boys loot. A campaign cannot be
run like a Sunday school, nor is going
into battle like a tea party Since war
brings to the surface all of man
strongest passions, let field marshais
realize the folly OF trying to utlllze
one only while suppressing the rest
Yes, undoubtedly the lust for fisht-
ing is one of mans strongest passions,
and following close behind is his love
of lootlng. The two go together and
are inseparable. War should support
war To the Victors belong the spoils.
So, If for policy or principle It be wise
to let man murder, then. for his indi-
vidual and private qualification, why
not let him be also a thief?'

may turn out to be even more interesting

When Mother Rugged the spankel
Boom.


Readin' bout this yaehtin race, it somehow takes
me back
To when was codger in the town Of Haeken-
sack;
1t minds me how US youngsters had to steer our
course Just so,
Or else the storm Of punishment would soon begin
to blow;
An pa was the perleeein' boat that sounded
warnin' calls,
But mother rigged her spanker boom-an' then
look out for squalls!
Now kids-you take 'ern big srnall--is mostly
like yateh, --, .. -.is.f,.rrg Tg
They're tricky in their movements and they'll
never toe the scratch; o.,
They need a hand 10 steer en-, or the course
they'll never learn,
An like a watch. the proper way 10 steer ems
by the stern.
An that's why pas great moral pleas in wreck
age oft would fall,
But mother rigged her splnker boom and looked
out for 4 squa!.
Them tender reeollectious Of the days that's long
gone by
Brings up happy picture to my intellectual
A picture Of the gladne.s that into my bosom
slipped
Each time my biggest brother was the one that
mother whipped.
So on this little proyerb all my recollection
stalls:
When mother rigs her ,pankcr boom you'd best
look out for squalls.

Failure.

Oh long and dark the stairs | trod

Gaining a foothold bit by hit
Then slipping back and losing it,
Never progressing. striving still.
With weakening grasp and idinting will,
Bleeding to climb to God while He
serenely smiled. unnoting me.
Then came certain time when l
Looscned my hold and fell thereby.
Down to the lowest step my fall.
As if l had not climbed at all.
And while lay despairing there
i heard a football on the stair,
In the same path where |, dismayed,
Faltered and fell and lay AFRAID.
And 10, when hope had ceased to be,

And on the lip the last complaint Is killed
That for a moment huttered TO be heard.

OF Judith de Bresoles and her com

"Thcy were lodged temporarily in
an upper room. which had to be
reached by a ladder, and of which
poverty was the only ornament.
During the long northern winter they
suffered greatly from the cold, which
was so intense that they were obliged
to thaw out their bread before eating
it. and to sweep out the snow Whlch

a dozen types of pioneer French women

Recent Fiction.

Some Women ! Have Known" by
Maarten Martens, is collection of femi-
nine types more or less charming, and all
extremely well drawn. There are just
twelve of them, and they are taken from
England, France. Germany. Holland. and
Russia. The French women are, perhaps.
a shade the most attractive. Some of the
tales are tragic, others partake OF the
nature of light comedy, and one or two
are almost farcicaI. But each is finished
with the delicate precision Of miniature,
and the insight of an author who really
knows feminine character.
Mrs Russell is a capital portrait of
the type of English woman who is de-
voted to clubs and charitable movements.
1t might easily fit some American danes.
"Princesse" would make dainty one
act play if it were reconstructed in dra-
matte form 1t would be worth somebody's
while to try it. Madame de Liancourt'
is a study of certain phase of French
society, done with skill and subtlety
which remind one of Balzac Another
French heroine who might almost have
stepped out of the Coincide Humane is
Denise de Mersy. This story is one Of
the finest, # not the finest in tie col
lection. Annette de Virohay' is almost
as good, and is pure light comedy, with a
touch of seriousness here and there. The
opening scene is deliciously fresh. nat
ural. and vfvacious. Still another Of the
French sketches is Madame Dc Parton
drieu," a wonderfully clever study of that
phase of French society which hangs on
the flial relation. 1t is significant that
in almost all of these stories the wOman's
figure is predominant in interest, and In
no two of them are the heroines in the
least alike II produces the effect OF
portfolio of sketches by a master hand.
The stories are not embryonic novels;
they are exactly what a short story
should be. and one cannot wish them
longer (New York: d. Appleton & Co.

"The Fall OF the Curtain" by Harold
Begbie, has a plot which might be de-
scribed as originality run wild. 1t is a
story of what purports to be modern
English life in that section OF society
known as the smart set. 1t Is unique in
that the heroine is also the adventures,
and sprouts wings at the last moment,
thereby differing from the archetypal ad-
venturess. Becky Sharp. one feature of the
book, however, deserves more prominence
than 1t gets, for the very idea is fascinat-
ing. The scene is laid in an old castle
which has a stone passage known as
"Kyn's Way" by which one may go all
around the massive pile between the in
ner and outer surfaces of the walls The
idea is essentially fitted to "A dramatic
