THE BUFFALO MAIL.

"You must try to amuse yourself,
 Clara, while I'm away" George Mor-
 row had said to his wife when he left
 her, pretty but lonely looking little figure in the doorway. "I'll be back in
 two weeks-sure."
 He received the kiss she gave him
 much as he received the clean hand
 kerchief she had just thrust into his
 pocket, only he didn't say thank you" When he was gone Mrs. Morrow went back to her dining room, took another cup of coffee and tried to look disconN solate. She was a romantic, sympathe- tic, affectionate young woman and she expected to have a good cry when George left her-their first long separa- ton since their wedding five years ago but she didn't, couldn't cry.
 He doesn't seem to care; why should I?" she reflected.
 As matter of fact, the husband felt no bangs at parting except for her. She's such a tender-hearted girl,' he thought, as he sat in the street car with his valise on his knees. II hope she won't fret' She was very fond of George and had. shown it. He was very fond of his wife, and had not shown it. When he was gone now Clara sat down in her easiest chair and
 said: "I'll be a girl again till he comes back" Then she tried to think how she might have a time without in-
 fringing the proprieties. She could l think of nothing but the matinee, so she picked up the newspaper to see what were the weeks offerings. She saw ''The Grasshopper" at the Odeon and read the cast. In the list of play
 CTS she saw Stanley Stone, so she dropped the paper and to herself said: T haven't seen Stanley for years, and, ! come to think of 1t, I never saw him

THE END OF A HUMBuG

It is reported that the sums collected from school children about the time of the Spanish war for the alleged pur- pose of building an American battleship to replace the Maine are now to be restored to their donbrs. The state- ment Is made that not far from $75, 900 was secured during this furry of patriotic fervor, chiefly in small amounts-a total of less than per cent, of the cost of a first-class armorclad- and that it has been held in custody by various banks and collection committees ever since. -,'-
 The chances are that only trif1ing proportion of this will ever find its way back to the pockets of the original donors. Even if a thoroughly honest attempt were made to affect restitu- ton, the obstacles in the way of it's redistribution would be manifold, for it is not probable that an accurate and comprehensive record of the individual sources whence it came exists.
 The whole scheme was manifestly preposterous at the time when it was brought before the public, and the sen- timentally inclined persons who gave their assistance to it in good faith doubtless look upon their efforts now with something which is far from self congratulation. There was never the slightest justification in fact or in law for the plan. It was essentially a humbug which deserved condemnation by every sensible man and woman in its purpose to draw out the nickels, dimes and quarters of the school child ren for an unreasonable object; and in some portions of the country at least it was not wholly free from the sus- picion of fraud.
 It is fortunate that the project col- lapsed when it did and the whole af- fair should serve as a useful warning hereafter. It will be long time before the United States government is brought so low that it has to pass the hat among the youngsters in the com- mon schools The taking of collections among the children for any public pur- pose whatever is an abuse which should not be countenanced-Phila Bulletin.

"Wonder- Box Tales" by Jean 1nge- low is another new volume in the popu- lar Young of Heart Series" published by Dana Estes &, Co.,, Boston. Jean Ingelow shares with Mrs. Ewing the distinction of producing the most artis- tic tales for children of any recent wri- ter, and it would not be hazardous to prophecy that she will live by some of these perfect little creations of fancy when her verse is forgotten. After naming the books of Grimm and Ander- sen, where can one turn to find more charming fairy stories than the Won der-B0z series of Miss Ingelow? They are sound and healthy in sentiment. filled with the interest of rapid plot and wonderful adventures, and as graceful in style as if written in fairyland itself. The five stories contained in this book are: "The Ouphe of the Wood "The Fairy Who Judged Her Neighbors, ''The Princes Dream,' "The Water Lily" and "The Lost Wand" The open ing story has enough of excitement to suit the most romantic child, and con- tains also q fine moral lesson, pro- nounced but unobtrusive. In these re- spects it is typical of all the stories. There are ten full-page illustrations in the book, from drawings by Diantha W. Horne.

 Doctor Robin" by Harriet A. Chee- yer. is a new volume in the popular Young Of Heart Series" published by Dana Estes & O.. Boston. It is de lightful story for children, told in the first person by the bird hero, Doctor Robin The conception of bird who understands the curative art. and ap- plies healing herbs and cooling vegeta- ble juices to the wounds of injured songsters, furnishes very original and somewhat difficult motive, but the story is not only charmingly told, but entire ly convincing. It is unnecessary to say | to any reader of Mrs Cheever's former books that it is also sympathetic. true to nature and perfectly adapted to the tastes of child. The history of Doe tor Robin" will take its place by the side of Black Beauty" Beautiful Joe" and Madame Angora,'' as an ideal animal tale which tends to inspire greater love and sympathy for the birds and beasts. Doctor Robin" is beautifully illustrated with thirteen full page and text cuts by Miss Etheldred B. Barry. Cloth, thin 12mo. illustrated; net 40 cents; by mail z6 cents; for sale by all booksellers.

THE NEW PUBLICATIONS.
SOME or THE LATEST BOOKS OF THE SEASON.

"Confessions of a Wife" by Mary Adams; 12mo. ST pages with six illus trations by Granville Smith. The Gen. tury Co, New York.
 This remarkable story which has at- tracted so much attention as it has been appearing serially in The Cen tury Magazine, is already one of the most talked about books of the decade. It is written in the form of diary and letters which tell the heart-and-soui story of Marna Trent, Wilderness Giri'' and deserted wife.
 The sources of the popularity of these "Confessions'' are not far to seek. The leading sociological questions of the day are marriage and divorce; and in treating of them profoundly the au- thor of this story does not go beyond her depth. The book presents only series Of fresh and interesting sit- nations, but treats with sincerity and not fiippancy, of the trials of an in irrespective wife. It is well written, full of penetrating philosophy of life; and presents views of marriage that are far from being rare among women.
 The raison d'etre of the book is in the conduct towards each other of high strung wife (deserted by her husband) and of a physician who has long been in love with her, and who proves to be her mainstay in her almost unendur- able situation. In these days of loose ideas of marital responsibility, the book carries a wholesome, valuable lesson. Marna's growth into a wiser wife and a better self-poise is paralleled in the experience of thousands; and Dr. Robert Hazleton is, indeed, a knight of the twentieth century The shadow of tragedy that turks mysteriously be- tween the lines of the diary steps out boldly upon it's pages toward the end; and then comes the climax of the story in which "Dr. Robert" plays his noble and pathetic part.
 Marna's attitude toward her husband and toward her friend, Robert, is the phase of the book being most discuss ed; in fact Marna bids fair to be as thoroughly and pitilessly talked about as ones new textbook neighbor.
 Of this book the Brooklyn Eagle re- marks: "The Confessions of a Wife, 7" by Mary Adams, is perhaps the most beautiful love story ever penned. There can be but one opinion as to the literary merit of this story. As with "The Love Letters of An Englishwo- man." an analogous work, there has al- ready arisen genuine and valuable inquisitiveness as to the "authenti- cfty' of these confessions" and the identity of their author. Without hesi- tation, one can pronounce Confessions of Wife'' to be great novel, admir- ably constructed, finely yet realistical- 1y written, splendid in its dramatic simplicity, and in the heartrending pathos of it's tragedy as unique as Camille
