are made up on much the same basis.
Speaker Bowling had, of course. en-.

as usual some could not get lust the

Craftsmanship Of the committee on an

The appointment of James Martin
who was clerk of the judiciary com.
mittee to the position of executive
clerk to the governor has brought
forth host of applicants for the COM
mittee clerkship. Among them is ex-
Lieut.. Gov. Yale formerly of Winona
but now resident of st. Paul. The
position pays $40 dollars day and
pecuniarily is better than being a
member of the legislature.
Among the bills introduced in the
senate was one extending the primary
election law of Henncpin county over
the whole state. There were six other
bills offered, but none of general i'm
portance except one which stops the
pay of Judge who does not decide a
case in ninety days after it is submit

ulate that he can have more time.
It was appointment day in the house
and the speaker named committee
clerk, janitor, seven door and cloak
room keepers, two file clerks and seven
pages. Representative Berg wants
more pages and offered resolution
providing for their increase. Proba-
bly, Speaker Dowling's appointments
did not include Mr.: Berg's favorites.
There were fifteen bills introduced
in the house, nearly all of them amend

mind to legislate on anything import

any accident there should be a nomi-

legislature would then go to work.

St. Paul. Jan. 16.-The legislative
session yesterday was brief, as it is
likely to be until the senatorial ques-

BY THE HIGHER LAW.
BY Helen T. Wells, Jr. :
Henry r. Coates & Coz
Sl.jO,

The story OF this dramatic novel
turns upon a question of conscience,
that law which is higher than the
Constitution" The question is pc
culiar one, and the reader is kept
wondering what II Is until near the
very last Of the book Daphne Win
throp has a most interesting personal
ity II seems strange that woman
with such a nature should hesitate on
such a question Of conscience. Married
when only a child to a man Older by
many years. yet in middle life man
devoid of refinement libertine and
drunkard. yet able to put her in
good social position, she has become
embittered and cynical. Rlaying a part
before the world for so long has graz
ualiy made her reserved and cold even
TO her friends. Her heart seems
stone and nothing in the world seems
worth while. After some years of wild
owhoOd (her husband having been
killed accidentally she meets and
loves a man worthy Of her. but her
conscience forbids her TO marry him.
The conflict is long and severe. There
are many suitors for her hand, as she
is both beautiful and rich. At the crit
ical point, just as she is about to en-
ter a convent to escape her troubles
an accident Strengthens out the tangle
and two persons are made happy. The
story is Of New York life and is intense
and vivid, keeping the readers close
attention to the end.

Mr. Chestnut has written several
good novels and this is especially
worthy. AS might be expected, this
book deals TO some extent with the
color question. although it could hard
ly be called a purpose novel Never
theless It viii provoke some serious
thinking. and ought to do much good
The title is particularly appropriate.
One Of the most noticeable characters
in the book is that Of Or. Miller. n
earnest. hard working and Intelligent
cOlored man, who had gained knowl-
edge by diut Of sheer grit and perse-
verance. Gifted with unusual skill as
a surgeon. he came TO be recognized,
even by his white contemporaries. as
one Of the leading men in his profess
sion.
But his color counted against him.
and the sentiment in the South was
too strong His part in the tragedy
Of the story is the most prominent fea-
ture IN the book
One OF the characters. Tom Della
mere. reminds one Of the Tom Of Mark

place In the working out of the plot

From her personal viewpoint she has
selected the world beautiful as she
sees It. Her viewpoint viii be attrac-
tive and convincing to her readers.
She does not call it the most beauti-
full world. She selects almost at ran
dom her material and she is not pc
dantic or formal in her choice.
The chapter divisions seem to mean
little. There is, however, a religious
note. a note of admiration and wor-
ship that one notices throughout the
book
This is a book to study, not to read.
It is not a book for entertainment. 1t
is more a catalogue than the charming
essay that one would expect from
this author. That it is useful enc can
not deny. 1t points out the good
things in literature The announce
ment declares that the book is in
tended TO bring within easy grasp
much of that which is highest in
thought and perfect in beauty in lit
erature.
one should read this book with a
clear understanding of its announced
purpose.

LET NOT MAN PUT

The question of divorce is one of the
upDermost in the minds of the present
generation. 1t will always be source
Of argument and controversy. In this
hook we find one mans opinion of the
subject put before the public in a forci-
BILE manner Very likely many will not
agree with Mr.. Kings views, but all
must respect the evident sincerity Of
his motives.
Certainly the question Is handled
without gloves indeed, there is al
most too much stress put upon the pur-
pose Of the novel
About everyone in the book is or has
been a divorce. There are three
couples who, having decided that they
had been mistaken, took steps TO sever

SONGS OF NATURE.
BY John Burroughs.
Mcclure, Phillips & Coz
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.

This is a collection OF John Bur
rough's poems. He has studied the
whole realm of poetry to gather for
us in this volume collection Of poetIs
dealing with nature He says frankly
that he has gathered together such
poems as he himself preferred amid the
material at his disposal. This is in ac-
cordance with the wishes Of the pub
fishers. who believed that the coilec-
ton should be his in the real sense
and so carry with it a SAVIOR OF per-
sonality that such a mans preference
may give to such a work.
1t is much better as rule 20 apply
this standard for books. 1t is much
better for each man to give what he
himself prefers than to give what he
thinks others will prefer.
Mr.. Burroughs says. II am sur
prised at the amount Of sO-cailed ma
ture poetry that has been added 10 the
English literature during the past 50
years. but I find only a little Of it Of
permanent worth. The painted, padded
and perfumed nature Of so many Of the
younger poets l cannot stand at all.
The author says that he has avoided
all poetry in which the form was DIFF
ffcult. He has always been shy Of SON
nets because they were rarely verses.

a charming namel And her nature Is
as sweet as her name.
Many and strange are the adventures
which happen to these two young low
ers before they are happily wed, and
these adventures prove exceedingly
pleasant reading One of the best fea-
lures of the book is the description
Of home life during that per-
iod There is vivid account
of a chastisement given by a father
to his daughter, none other than poor
Cicely herself It was common prac-
tice in those days for fathers to peal
tbeir children for disobediepce, with
leathern whips; so Cicely made no re
sistance. but took her beating phllo-
sophically.
Her sin was that of refusing to mar

remained true to her lover in spite
of everything and was at last married
to him.

Is to her simply a convenience. But
when she is tried in the fire, all her
fine theories are broken and crumble to
pieces.
As a character, Petrina Nassal is
most interesting. Her ideals are high
and her ambition is great, but her
methods are wrong and her conception
of true living is at fault.
1t is a strong novel and deserves
