UNDER TopS'LS AND TENTS" By
Crus Townsend Brady, New York Charles
scribner's Sons, 153-157 Fifth avenue,
Price, S1.50.
This volume narrates the author q
experience in the army and navy,
together with several stories based upon
historical incidents OF heroism and
danger. Humorous, pathetic, dra
matte and occasionally tragic, these
experiences cover wide rangs of life,
from the skylarking of the cadets at
Annapolis to some heartrending scenes
IN the war with Spain. One of the
most thrilling of the stories is that OF
the famous naval battle at falu River,
10 the war between China and Japan,
whom Capt. Philo N. Giffin, in coin
mand of the Chinese cruiser Chen
Yuen, made the most wonderful naval
fight, in many respects, on record, and
by his indomitable courage and high
skill finally defeated ths Japanese
although he was SO terribly wounded
that the victory cost him his life
within the ensuing two years.
The stories throughout have the same
qualities that made Mr.. Brady
romance5," For Love of Country, !"
Fer the Freedom of the Sea- and
"Tne Grip Of Honor" SO pleasing and
popular.

ance, Judge Lore is veritable snowy
haired Abraham Lincoln, being tail

striking resemblance to that of the
martyred President
In opening his address he mentioned
the nrovtroial modesty OF lawyers and
spoke of the pleasure 1T afforded him
to come and speak on subject with
which philosophers have grappled in all

OF bygone nations tell, he declared, and
led up through the various early world
powers to the little hand OF disciples
who went forth after the crucifixion
what they endured and the new force
and power principles which swept
away all the forces arrayed against
them.
National life is we'll worth living,''
exclaimed the speaker, "but is life
worth living for you? Life is luxurious
for the mere living. Life is worth
living because it links us with di.
vinity. Man is the only creature which
God made which does not obey His
will, even in his physical beinR.''
Then he enumerated a number OF
world conquerors, such as Alexander,
Casar and Napoleon, who wasted their
lives.
He also mentioned examples of great
Americans, notably George Washington
and Dwight L. Moody, whose lives had
benefited their countrymen, and of
