The True story of Capt. John Smith.

Capt. John Smith has been dead long
time, but the story of the career of the
foremost adventurer of the most adventur-
Gus era in human history will always be
full of interest. Before John Smith
came to America he had sought adventure
in Europe, Asia and Africa, had par
ticipated in many wars and been the
hero Of many conflicts personal and
otherwise His was a restless spirit, de-
lighting in danger and contention. Much
has been written of him, both to his credit
and his discredit, chiefly the latter. Miss
Katherine Pearson Woods found sufficient
interest in his character to lead her to
study both sides and to write "A true BIZ
ography of the man. She has been able to
do this with as little bias as can be ex-
pected from one who takes up a character

JUSTICE TO CUBA.

Washington dispatches state that the
President is determined to make strong
fight in Congress for reciprocity with Cuba,
and 70 this end he has sent for Mr.. Bliss,
chief fiscal officer of the island. to come to
Washington and make an argument on the
subject before the House committee on
ways and means The inference is that the
principal point to be urged upon the COM
rnittee is the necessity of a material reduc-
ton in favor Of Cuba N the present tariff
rates on sugar and tobacco. The action Of
the President in sending for the fiscal agent
of Cuba to appear before the House com
mittee shows his desire to bring out the
real facts in the case and his belief that
they will make in favor of reciprocity.
There q reason to believe that the Presi-
dent is In favor of that policy a measure
of justice to Cuba. In his annual message
he discussed the tariff and reciprocity un-
der one head, recognizing the duty of main
tanning protection wherever it is needed
and saying that reciprocity must be
treated as the hand maiden Of protection"
Then, in another place, he said:
Elsewhere 1 have discussed the ques-
ton OF reciprocity. In the case of Cuba,
however, there are weighty reasons of NOR
atty and Of national interest why the pol
icy should be held to have peculiar appl1-
cation, and L most earnestly ask your at
tention 10 the wisdom, indeed TO the vital
need. Of providing for a substantial reduc-
ton in the tariff duties on Cuban imports
into the United States. Cuba has IN her
constitution affirmed what we desired, that
she should stand in international matters IN
closer and more friendly relations with US
than with any other power, and we are
bound by every consideration of honor and
eXpediency TO pass commercial measures In
the interest of her material Well-being.
From this il is evident that the President
thinks there is an element in the case of
reciprocity with Cuba that does not enter
into the question at large. His reference to
''weighty reasons of morality and of inter
national interest" shows that he thinks the
question of reciprocity with Cuba should be
differentiated from that of reciprocity in
general and decided on it's own merits.
What that decision should be, in his opin-
ion, he indicates very clearly.
The question is not free from embarrass-
ment, and representatives of the American
beet sugar and tobacco interests will be
able to make strong and plausible argu-
ments against making concessions to Cuba,
which, they claim, will be ruinous to them.
But, on the other hand, can the United
States afford, after prosecuting a for
the liberation of Cuba, to adopt CONNER
cial policy that will prove ruinous to the
island? 1t will probably be found on care
full consideration that the Cubans will be
satisfied with concessions that will not seri-
Il e
events, 1t is evident the President thinks a
fair degree of reciprocity with Cuba is an
/ honorable obligation on the United States.

The Lifting of a Finger.

This story, by Ina Brevoort Roberts,
shows how a marriage came about in which
each partner to it believed the other was
animated by any other sentiment than sf-
lection. Whatever was the truth at the
beginning, each came, under very discour-
aging conditions, to love the other most
ardenty, this love leading TO transforma-
ton of the man from shameless repro
bate into a decent member of society. The

A Sunday-schooI Song Book.

Sunday-school song books have long been
a subject for criticism. both on account of
the namby- pamby sentiment and poor lit
erary quality Of the verses and the trivial
character of the music found in them. The
critics have done nothing to remedy the
fault. however, and it has remained for Mr..
Charles s. Mcbride, OF Indianapolis, to
compile and arrange a volume which is not
open to these structures. This excerpt from
his introduction indicates the purpose and
direction OF his work: 'In compiling this
book II has been the aim of the author TO
include only melodious tunes, tunes that
possess life and brightness, tunes that are
an education and a preparation for the
grand hymns of the church. While a few
of the older tunes have been included, the
greater number Of this collection are by
the best modern American, English and
German composers. 1t has been claimed
that tunes of the higher class are too diff
ficult for children to learn or 10 appreciate.
This is a mistake; children can learn any
thing, and, as matter of fact, they show
marked preference for the finer music
whenever an opportunity is afforded them
of making a selection
Mr.. McBride's choice of poems and music
is likely TO meet the approval of all who
realize how strong is the influence upon

hood. In this volume are no foolish jingles
and meaningless rhymes set to rafting"
music. but fine, strong, dgnified poems, re-
literary quality. Wesley, Watts, Luther,
Newton, FaOer, HaVergal Cowper, Keble,
Heber Bonar, are among the old familiar
names represented here, while among later
writers are Whittier, Barring Gould, Phil
lips Brooks, w. w. How and Rudyard
Kipling-the last-named being represented
by the "Recessional" With but few ex-
ceptions the sentiment is such as might
appeal to children; the thought in a few,
as Mother Dear. Jerusalem" and 80
Paradise. is more in keeping with age.
Among the songs are humber Of compo-
sitions by Mr.. Charles f. Hansen, of In
dianapolis, which are published for the
hrst time Mr.. Mcbride himself contributes
the closing lines, Lord, We COME to Sing"
Altogether, the volume is well-suited to its
purpose-a collection of good hymns set to
tuneful muSic-and comes in time to sup
ply real want. Mr.. Mcbride is both the
editor and publisher Of the work, which is
entitled MELODY"
