You get force from being good if you
are clever as WELL s. 8 = Now, the
rest of us are not good, neither you nor

That is the reason one never
knows whether he is in the room or
not. He is, or may be good.
Mere goodness is pretty color

nary men are! Whenever they have
some powerful and exhausting emo
ton, little alcohol always puts them
square again. One ought to
measure everything by that. A wife
talked about-large whisky and soda;
friend talked about-small whisky
and-soda; ones self talked about-Well
that is a stimulant in itself
In the October Bookman is a long
and interesting article on Maurice
Hewlett's Italy, by Mrs. Louise Closer
Hale, sketches of Florence, Siena and
Padua, accompanied by some really
excellent full page illustrations by the
writer's husband, Walter Hale. Walter
Hale is a native of st. Paul and his
family still reside here About dozen
years ago he went on the stage and
made almost an immediate success,
and a few years after married an &C
tress, Louise Closer, under the most
romantic circumstances, the bride be-
ing supposedly near death at the time
But she recovered and Mr.. and Mrs.
Hale were both members of Julia Mar
loves company for part of a season,
when Mr.. Hale's health broke down
and they came to ST. Paul for a rest
before going abroad. Since then they
have Travelled extensively, Mrs. Hale
writing very clever accounts of their
wanderings which have been we'll H.
lustrated by her husband. Mr.. Hale's
artistic gifts equal if not excel his tai
ents in other directions, and he is not
unknown in the art circles of Paris
and London. Whether he has or in
tends to return to the stage is not
known.
In the October Bookman also is a
page or two devoted to the Bookman
Letter Box, a unique institution which
has not appeared for several months
but now revived by request of sew
eral correspondents, notably Carolyn
Wells, the humorous poeteSs who In
diteS several verses to the editor i'm
ploring him to resume publication of
the Letter Box, which she declares, is
the most interesting and sought after
department of the magazine. In ii the
editor Prof. Harry Thurston Peck, was
wont to print all the letters which he
received complimentary or otherwise
affording much entertainment for the
reader, as he always answered the
faultfinding ones with the utmost good
humor. In the last number he tells of
receiving postcard upon which was
written the single line: do you like
Bees?" He says he is in doubt whether
the writer intends to make him a pres
ent or really desires to know what he
thinks Of bees.
Among items of interesting news
from foreign shores is the re-
port that Tolstoi is preparing to leave
Russia, as he thinks he has but a short
time to live, and does not desire to die
in a land that would refuse him Chris
tian burial. One result of his 5ex-
communication from the Russian
church would be, at his death, the re-
fusal of the authorities to allow him
interment in consecrated ground Bulk
harest, in Roumania, is the place Toll
stoi desires to go to end his days, and
he has made a request in his will that
II death overtake him before he can
get away from his native land, that
his remains be taken there and inter
red with all the rites of the church.
An added reason for his going to Rou-
mania is cordial invitation from It's
queen, known in the literary world as
Carmen Sylvia, who has long been Toll
stoi's friend and admirer, to make her
country his home.
It is reported by the editor of the
Critic, Miss Glider, that we are to have
visit in this country from the writer
of Elizabeth and her German Garden,
who 1t Is reported will be ACCOMPANIED
by her husband, the Man of Wrath.
We learn from the same source that
she is now said to be the Countess
Won Arnin, although this is not certain,
