LET LIVE PIGEON-sHooTIEG BE PRO
HIBITED.

The Legislature hasn't done much. to
be sure, but in the few remaining days it
might partially redeem itself by passing
bill condemnalory OF live pigeon shoot
ing in the State Of Maryland. New York
has recently passed such law. and the
whole country commends New York for
Il. Why should harmless pigeons be

Is there any real pleasure in shooting
bird just for the fun OF the things II is
barbarous; it is cruel; il is butchery, and
there is no reason for it. No true sports
man can find pleasure in shooting tame
birds under any conditions.
There is nothing manly or admirable
in the "sport." The birds are released
in an open space. they are shot before
they can attain rapid flight; no special
skill with the guns is necessary to hit
large, so large with one or more of the
several hundred pellets OF lead which the
marksman discharges at the pigeon. FIRE.

but fly off and die after hours OF torture.
Taking all of these facts into considera-
ton. pigeon-shooting from traps is an
unsportsmanlike diversion. which every
man with humane instincts should regard
with adherence. The sportsman fond
OF hunting wild game gives his quarry
fair chance to escape. The pigeon sprung
from trap has scarcely one chance out
OF hundred to get away without being
wounded. And when, as sometimes
occurs, thousands of these birds are shot
in one contest, just to prove that one man
is little quicker on the trigger than
another. or that a certain brand of cart
ridges IS better than another or when
the match is arranged simply to provide
a pretext for betting-it is not amazing
that public opinion revolts against such
cruel practice Pgeon-shooting for such
purposes is not sport; it is mere barbar-
SIN.
The New York Legislature commends
itself to all well thinking people for hav-
ing passed law prohibiting pigeon
bulchery. now let the Maryland Legs
lature do likewise.

In a copy of "Putarch' owned by the
Boston Public Library there was found
recently Shakesperian autograph on a
strip OF parchment in the binding. The
genuineness OF the signature is vouched
for. and it is the largest specimen OF the
poets handwriting in existence. The
book itself may have been Shakespeare
as il is well known that he borrowed a
great deal from "Plutarch's Lives"

Greek Literature.

The latest volume in the series Of
Twentieth Century Text Books is "a
History of Ancient Greek Literature" by
Harold n. Fowler. a professor in the
Western Reserve University. While 1t is
intended primarily, as the author ex-
plains, for use in secondary schools and
colleges, 1t is likely to be valuable
to the reading public because of
its presentation. in a readable and in
teresting as well as compact form, of
facts which should form part of the edu-
cation Of an intelligent man or woman. IL
is a good book for reference libraries.
The book begins. of course, with the
discussion of Homer, after which Hesiod.
the lyric poets, Herodotus and Pindar are
taken up in due order, and several chap
ters are given to the Greek drama.
Thucydidcs and Xenophon are then con-
sidcred. and after them the Greek phil
osophcrs, and perhaps one-quarter of the
book at the end is given to the AleXan-
dran and Roman periods and to phil
osophy in the second century, all of which
will be less familiar TO the average read
er than much of what goes before. II will
be seen that the book follows the general
line of such works. and that ii is as com
prehensiye as volume of its size can be.
No space is wasted and the student who
wishes by home reading to get good
idea of Greek literature could hardly do
better than to buy and read 1t. tNew

of vampire novel, and was probably the
cause of the death of its author. He
threw himself into this story with an in
tensity which sapped his strength and
gave an opening for the malady from
which he suffered more and more through
all the last years OF his life, though some
of his best work was done during those
years. The biographer says:
1T was book which cost its author
more than any other work which he had
yet produced. II laid hold upon his own
imagination even more powerfully than
upon the imaginations of his readers.
The tragedy of his hero. suffering the
torments of wounded faith and pride, in
that wild and wintry Island of Null, was
real tragedy to Black himself; and
when he came, in his prosaic home at
Denmark Hill, TO Intervene the scenes
which he and Mr.. Wilson had visited to-
gether into the story of Macleod of
Dare, his nerves suffered as though he
were writing of his own actual expert
ences. He was wont to say in after years
that the book had added ten years to his
life. There is no doubt that the way was
prepared by the stress of that tragic Gre
alton for the entrance of that obscure
nervous disease which afterward afflicted
him. He was paying the penalty of that
Celtic fervor which, unknown to the outer
world, possessed his soul. Without it he
could never have written as he did. could
never have made his story burn into the
minds of his readers as tale of real
life. But without he would have been
spared not little of mental and bodily
anguish. So shaken were his nerves by
the writing of Macleod of Dare that for
many months after The book was finished
he could not bear to ride in a hanson
cab in the streets of London, and 1t Is
certain that he never quite recovered the
fine virility which was one OF his distin
gushing characteristics as a young man."
Those who remember the sense of men
tai and spiritual exhaustion with which
they finished that intensely pathetic story
may imagine in small degree what it
cost the finely strung, sensitive man who
created 1t. ArtisticaIly, it is perhaps the
most perfect of all his books, though 9TH
ers are far pleasantcr reading. and some
contain characters as fine as any in this
tale of the Isle OF Null. But there is
none which touches the depths of human
character as this does. nor is there any
which. as whole, is so consistently the
working out Of a poetic ideal. 1t re-
sembles one of those old epic poems which
are now only to be found in the tales of

Again II has been demonstrated that
some of the best fiction we have comes
from the Middle West. This time the
demonstrator is new author-Brand
Whitlock-whose political novel. THE
Thirteenth District" is among the best
of its kind.
The central figure of the story, not a
very heroic one, is jerome Garwood, a
country lawyer, who has risen TO the po-
litical leadership of an Illinois county.
The book opens with his return to his
native town after he has become a can
didate for Congress. In the succeeding
chapters the reader may follow him
through his campaign and election, his
canvass for second term, and the final
crisis of his career. Along with the po
litical thread OF the story runs a romance,
that of the politicians engagement, mar
riage, and married life. 1t is not ex-
actly a romance in the ordinary sense Of
the word, but rather a psychological
study. In fact, that is phrase which
with a little modification might be ap-
piled to the whole book.
But, although the keen analysis Of mo-
tives and character is one of the strong
points of the novel. it is not, after all,
psychological in its main interest. The
attention is caught and held by the in
terest of the story beyond everything else.
There is a certain general tone which
characterizcs most of the fiction of the
upper Mississippi Valley. and 1t comes
nearer to being the tone which the future
American novel will have TO take than
any other, perhaps. in recent literature.
II is realistic, it is tolerant. 1t is demo-
cratic, it is comprehensive and it Is ami
mated by strong sense of what is right.
One need not call this last a moral pur
pose, for there is in most OF this fiction
no attempt TO teach lesson; 1t is simply
a disinclination to recognize false ideals.
The writer's OF these books are after the
truth: and If they do not see clearly it is
not because they do not think it import
ant, or because they have preiudice5 to

biography of the late William Black
mas appeared the work CT Sir Wemyss
heid, author of Charlotte Bronte,' -
me Life Of Sir Richard Monckton Mil
mes, and other works. II is one of the
pest biographies of the year, and will be
oeilghtful reading for all who have been
charmed and captivated by the work of
this popular novelist. There will proba-
piy be some question whether William
BLACK could be called a great man, but
'hat ne was fascinating writer no one
can deny, and those who have guessed
tnat this fascination was largely due TO
the temperament which determined the
style OF his work, will be pleased to find
their idea confirmed in this record of his
lie. 1t has the distinction of being
wholly sympathetic and of presenting the
man as he was, not as he appeared to be
TO those who did not know him well
enough to know him at all.
Sir Wemyss Reid had the advantage in
this undertaking of having been for many
years an intimate friend of the subject Of
his book, and he seems TO have dispo-
u
de does not give one the impression Of
glossing over anything. or of indulging in
undue adulation, or of presenting view
which is in any way distorted or exagger-
ated. One feels in reading the story Of
William Blacks life as here written
that IL is such story as anyone who
was admitted to his intimacy would have
ry style. 1t is, in word, clear sight
ed and adequate view of the man himself
William Black was born in 1871. in Glas-
gov, and 1t is interesting to note that he
was himself descended from the Highland
race about which he has written so much
and SO well. Perhars no one except Black
has ever shown with distinctness, in a
way which ordinary people could under
stand, the essential difference between the
two great branches of the Scotch people,
and the antagonism which generally ex-
lists between their contrasting tempera-
ments. There is almost as much differ
ence between what we have come to know
as the kailyard type of Scot and the High
lander Of the north and west, as there is
between the French and the Germans.
They are of different ancestry. habits tra-
ditions, and even language-the Highland
er speaking Gaelic, or pure English with
an accent. and the Lowlander using the
dialect which Burns made famous. While
long persecution by common foe has
created a bond between these different
peoples they are still about as far from
