to be stricken out with a smile and
sigh"
There are 10 stories in this collec-
tion-stories grave and gay, bubbling
with merriment, and breathing with
pathos
One of the most pathetic is the first,
called "Dodder."
Botany says that dodder is a plant
which is distributed from Nova Scotia
and Manitoba, south to the Gulf States,
but it is little known here, and for the
benefit of the uninitiated 1 will explain
that dodder is parasite having beau
tiful white flowers, forming a dense
mass when in bloom. 1t grows in the
moist soil beside streams and in shady
hooks, and is commonly known as love-
vine. The sentiment connected with
this little vine forms the subject of this
pathetic tale which brings the tears to
ones eyes.
Other stories are 1.-THE Big Revival
at Pine Creek" a gay bit of humor;
Our Family Skeleton" a grim &C
count of a family where constant in
termarriage had caused hereditary in
sanity; "Samuella," who was a girl
without mind of her own, until she
found she had heart. AT the Spa"
a story of heroic self-sacrifice.
"V. "" is the curious title of the
sixth story. Then follow 1.-THE Over
seer's Wife" "Marthy," THE Desire of
His Eyes" and 1.-THE Lethe Mystery"
The illustrations are from photo
graphs taken from the very scenes of
the book and are vastly more inter-
esting on account of it.

The Saving of Presidents

The country has read with much sat
isfaction that the late President Nc
Kinley managed to accumulate at least
$250.000 during his lifetime Of hard
work and incessant activity TO leave
for the support of those dependent
upon him. The amount is small Guagad
by modern standards of wealth, and
particularly so in comparison with the
fortunes accumulated by many per-
sons of less industry, ability, and real
worth in mercantile and industrial pur-
suits.
The sum mentioned is much higher
than the average Of the accumulations
of our chief magistrates Several of
these have died poor and insolVent
Some, through an apparent lack Of
saving habits. and others through mis-
fortune in business. Among them were
James Monroe. Thomas jefferson, John
Adams, Andrew Johnson and General
Grant. jefferson owned a large estate
in Virginia and other property at one
time, but lost it all and died compare
lively poor. Johnson was rated to be
worth $4,000 when his presidential
term expired. but he lost nearly all of
1t through the failures of the Freed
mems Bank.
The illustrious statesman who was
first in war, first in peace" etc, was
also the first Of our Presidents in point
of wealth, considering the purchasing
power Of the standard currency of bis
day. At his death Washington's estate
was valued at $500, 600. President Ar
thurs wealth was estimated at $500, 600
but he would hardly be considered
rich a man as Washington, for all this
difference Buchanan ranks pretty
high in this regard with a fortune
amounting to S2j0,000, which he left to
nieces and neDhews. Mrs. Polk was
left with about $50, 900. and Mrs Gar
field $4,000. Martin Van Buren, helped
to bring up the average with the hand
some sum of 5000 which he con-
tinued to save from business invest
ments, but not from his salary as Pres
ident John Tyler left the White House
as he went into it-a comparatively
poor man, but with enough to live in
comfort.
The same might be said of John Ad-
ans and also of Willard Fillmore, nut
the latter became wealthy through a
second marriage. Franklin Pierce's
property was valued at $4,000. and he
left no one to inherit it. Madison was
accounted rich among the men of his
DAY, but his money was squandered by
Mrs. hadison's son, Payne Todd. and
the widow became a poor woman. How
much Grover Cleveland had managed
to accumulate at the end Of his seconi
term no one really knows. He Is now
estimated to be worth a quarter OF a
million. These facts speak volumes IN
favor Of the sterling honesty of men
conspicuous in American public life

On the last night of the voyage a
great storm comes UP and the vessel
goes far out of It's course. Early in
the morning Boyd is awakened by the
shout that they have reached BOYD S
Island, and he and Elinor land. After
watching the steamer until 1t has dis
appeared in the fog they walk on to
the house. Everything Is strange to
them and they are still hunting for the
house when they come upon little
cottage. Upon entering they find it
furnished with the most beautiful of
tapestries, brie-a-brac, furniture, etc,
but they can find no living person. Be
coming somewhat alarmed they both
start out to find the owner, and after
walking for some time, they come upon
a man apparently asleep on the beach.
Upon closer investigation, however,
they find that he is dead.
They are beginning to realize now
that they have been landed on a
strange island and they must make the
best of it. Between them they man
age to bury the man and then return
to the house, which they find is well
provided with provisions. Here they
remain for months and no person comes
to the island and there is no way for
them to leave.
While examining some records found
in the house they find that the owner
was a fugitive from France and W. s
of royal blood. Further than this they
know nothing.
One day they are surprised to hear
voices, and, running down to the shore,
they find a steamer landing at their
island A beautiful woman comes on
land and demands to see the Duke of
Fontrevault, who was her father. She
has come to persuade him to seek an
other home. where she can remain with
him. She remains OIL the island several
days, and when she leaves she gives
the house to Pats and Elinor for we'd
ding present.

Here is a tale of England in that
terrible Monmouth Rebellion when the
King massacred so many of his own
subjects and when no one was sure of
his own life. 1t is a romance of love
and strategy.
The Red Men of the Dusk was writ
ten by the same author, and everyone
knows how brimful of excitement that
book is. This book is not one whit
behind that one in that respect. One
adventure and thrilling hairbreadth
escape follow close upon the heels Of
its predecessor, making a novel Of I'M
usually swift action. The name Is a
good Indication Of the character Of
the book, and one also has the as
surance that the hero and heroine in
whom he is so much interested, will
be sure to triumph over all obstacles
and be married happily in the end.
Both hero and heroine are charming
young peoples the heroine properly
beautiful, and the hero properly brave.

In these stories of old Virginia life
the author has written down the rec
elections of. that time when she lived
among the people of whom she writes.
She says in explanation
THE old Virginia of my childhood
is so unlike the Virginia of the TWEEN
tieth century that I could not hope to
reproduce it for my reader, were my
own recollections of it less vivid. The
stories of her social and domestic life
collected in these pages are but a few
Of the many incorporated into life
that spans the great gulf fixed between
the Then and Now. My tales have
naught to do with the mighty convul-
sion that opened that gulf. My business
is with the days that are no more.
while I linger in the shadowy Wis
tas it is Today that seems fiction.
That All-so-Long -Ago-the returnless
Yesterday-is real and alive. More
than once the true names of people
and places have slipped from my pen,

8 THE IMP AND THE
ANGEL.
BY Josephine Dodge Daskam.
(Charles Scribner's Sons.)
SIPS,

Most Of these stories appeared first
in Scribner's Magazine, SO their ap-
pearance in book form is doubly well
come. Although stories of children,
they are not especially for children, and
prove good reading to children Of a
larger growth.
1.-THE Imp" was a rosy little terror of
a boy-just the right age to get in to
all sorts of mischief and trouble. But
nevertheless, he was a most lovable
specimen of boyish humanity and was
the possessor Of a sensible mamma,
who knew just how to deal with such
boys
1.-THE Angel was a poor little white
faced morsel of daintiness, who gener-
ally wore white sailor suits, and was
obliged to sit still upon the piazza Of
the summer hotel, much to his own
and the Imp's disgust. The mamma of
the Angel was loving, but misguided
and foolish. The adventures of the two
boys are very laughable. There are
more stories about the Imp; all of them
natural and bright. The collection
forms a pretty book for holiday use.

While this is a most improbable story
1t is none the less most interesting. Mr.
Patrick Boyd,--or Pats as he is called
by his intimate friends-who has been
in the South African War, returned
home to Boston to find that his ia
Their and sisters are at their summer
home on the St. Lawrence. He takes
passage on the same steamer with Miss
Elinor Marshall, who is a friend Of
Boyd's sisters and who is now on her
way to visit them. She and Pats have
never met, but it does not take long
for them to become acquainted, and
they find that they are both bound for
the same place. This only adds to
their friendship, which is progressing
at quite a rapid pace.
At this point Father Burke, who is
very anxious that Elinor should re-
nounce the world and become a nun,
sees fit to interfere. He is successful
and for several days they see nothing
of one another.

THE MOST FAMOUS LOBA.
BY Nellie K. Blissett.
Cd. Appleton & Coz

This book is No. 3O5 of the Town and
Country Library. 1t is a romance Of
Carcassonne, a picturesque tale of the
knights and ladies and troubadours in
the thirteenth century, and, most of all,
a story of the beautiful and passionate
Loba, daughter of the Sieur de Ca
baret.
The authors vivid imagination brings
the dramatic happenings of the tale
wildly before the reader 1t breathes
the atmosphere of a life. strange and
beautiful, though self-wilied and I'M
restrained.

This is the only full and definite life
yet written of Mr.. Lowell. 1t describes
with just appreciation his achievements
as poet, essayist, editor of the Atlantic
Monthly and the North American Re
view, professor at Harvard College, and
minister to Spain and England. 1t also
reveals the intimate side of Lowelps
life, includes many of his letters never
before printed. and some important pa
pers which he did not collect. The
work is entirely distinct from Professor
Norton's two volumes of "LowelPs Let
ters."
