introduced her to the speaking tube.

She Declined.

Few American youths have careers
made for them. Those who deplore
this fact and shun the stings Of self
effort may find tonic in the reply Of n
western girl to an offer of marriage.
A young man Of more book learn
ing thnn force of character lost the
young wife who had toiled to support
him. returned to his native town for
consolation and found 1t. Some months
later she. too. passed away. and the
sad youth soon appealed to well
known clergyman for assistance in
finding helpmate.
The minister introduced him to q
western girl OF health and energy,
who the next day received n plaintive
note from the widower He declared
that the Lord had made great inroads
upon his marital affections, and II now
seemed to be his will that she would
repair the breaches Of his life.
The reply, which the clergyman
keeps today as one of the choicest
specimens OF a varied collection, reads
simply:

York.
With Sentimental Tomnly"-not the

Tommy and Grizel.' ''but the real Tom
my, the most delightful boy Of fiction
fresh in memory and standing as a
model, it required some courage in Ian
NfacLaren to write 81 book concerning
Scotch boys. The comparison was in
evitable and DR.. Watson could hardly
hope to rival the boys Of Barrie; yet the
task was undertaken and the result Is
better than any one, even the most RAM
pant admirers Of DR.. Watson. could have
foreseen. True. tie boys Of Young Bar
barians'' are not quite the equals of
those of Sentimental Tommy 'Speug"
is not tho equal of Tommy himself in
any respect, and there is among the
Young Barbarians'' none that approaches
rivalry with Corp; but they are very
boyish boys, with all the derlment and
generosity that is typical Of the boy ma
ture at its highest development toward
the best, and they are very pleasant COM
Danions.
With the sole exception of Sentimental
Tommy We like young Barbarians''
better than any book concerning boys
which we have ever read. But this is
less because of its boys. good though they
are, than because CT the characters Of
whom the author apparently thought less.
Therefore, as book regarding boys
not a boys book, be it understood-;t
is in no sense that-we do not especially
commend it; but, as a whole. as a study
of life III some of its best aspects. we
accord it the highest praise, and we ad-
wise ali our readers to read it. If they
dc not find in it good as we'll as pleas
ure, the fault will not lie with the book.

ONE DAY AND ANOTHER. By Madison
Cawein. Richard G. Badger & Co., Bos-
ton.
Mr. Cawein has done some good work
in his career; but Zone Day and An
other. is literary nightmare. We had
hardly gotten through three pages be-
fore we were confronted by this line. adj
dressed by the waiting lover to his lady:
s"rhere in the dew is it you hiding
lawny?''
For a girl to be asked il she is '.hiding
lawny'' is certainly original, but hardly
intelligible; and it was with little wonder
that ut tie end of the stanza we read
that "She approaches, laughing" 1t is
enough to make all owl laugh. Then they
begin to talk and the young lady rhymes
in this fashion:
Love trusts, and that's enough, my
dear.
Trust wins to trust; whereof, my dear,
Love holds to love: and love- my dear,
Is-wel,: that's all my lore!"
Rather "a lame and impotent cOnclu-
SION: but the girl had already achieved
sufficient triumph in combining in this
form of verse three lines whereof no two
ryhn1e, for enough WHEREOF and
Glove" do not rhyme though Mr.. Cawein
may think that they do. This absence
of truth in rhyme is conspicuous
throughout the book; we turn Il page and
find that spirit is made to rhyme with
merit" and a little later with hear it."
All Of which goes to prove that Mr..
Cawein's poem lacks the one needful
quality of rhyme.
There are some good lines in Mr..
Cawein's book, but his false rhymes, af-
fccted ptraseology and commonplace
thought make the work as q whole a
flat failure. T. a. X.
