GENERAL FORREST.

reckless courage. So is the story of his
in carriage, which was bemired in the
middle Of a stream, while two young men
sat on their horses near by, interested
observers. Forrest rescued the ladies
from their predicament, and then drove
the young men away with threats. His
next move was to call upon the ladies
with the view Of courting the younge.'
when he found one OF the young men
there as visitor. The imperious lover
warned his rival OFF the field and told
the girl she must choose between them.
She chose Forrest. All through his lie
Forrest had no spare time on him.
An example of the authors style is
the story of the capture of Fort Pillow.
which is told in part as follows:
General Forrest. having his command
well in hand, after heavy skirmishing
for several hours. and finding that the
officers within were determined to hold
out in the evident hope of relief from
the boats in sight, resolved TO take the
place by assault, even at the hazard of a
heavy loss OF life. When the final and
most peremptory refusal Of all came, he
acted at once. Turning to an aide
camp, according to w. II. Rhodes. who,
as before stated, was serving on For
rests staff that day he said:

THE EXILES OF SIBERIA.

"Prisoners of Russia is a study of con-
vict life in Sakhalin and Siberia by DR..
Benjamin Howard. It is evidently in
tended to serve as a refutation to the
work of Mr.. George Kennan on the same
subject which appeared some years ago
Its scope and nature, as well as the au-
thor's personal view of the work of Mr..
kennan, are thus defined in the preface:
The traveller with no previous ac-
quaintanCe with the language, whose pro-
Jected visits are telegraphed before he
starts to the governor of every prison to
whom he is accredited on his intended
route. labors unavoidably under many
disadvantages. The toll of completing
his harassing journey within perhaps a
very limited time is in itself an ex-
h2usting occupation. The half hour eX-
hibitions prepared for him at each of
these prisons, scattered hundreds of miles
apart, may have been duly made: the
stories Of certain eXiles and prisoners rs
Tetailed by an Interpreter may have been
duly incorporated with his really au-
thentic experience for future use. but the
daily routine of the ordinary actual life
OF prisoners and exiles, in prison and ont
OF prison, when no traveller is near: the
ordinary methods and life of the officials;
the actual working Of the system in its
different details and iepartments-thesc
may be as unknown to the traveller at
the END of his trip as when he started.
Of these things as seen from tho inside
the public is still practically ignorant.

AN ANGLICISED FRENCHMAN.

Tween You and T. is the title of
Max O'Rell's latest book. and it is just
about what one would expect from a
glance at the cover. 1t might with equal
propriety have been called Heart to
Heart Talks With the American Pub
lie" the author being oblivious of the
fact that the average American would
rather have him at canes length than
In any such relation as that of heart to
heart, and that the most satisfactory
thing that could be tween he and We"
would probably be the Atlantic Ocean.
To attempt TO be faCetious in language
not ones own is a dangerous thing: one
too often ends in being merely familiar.
There are a great many things about
French fiction and French authors
which are delightful. and one would no.
have them changed but hybrids are not
nice. and Max O'Rell is a hybrid. So
long as he confined himself to the role
of observant traveller. making more or
less amusing remarks on our institu-
tions. he was fairly entertaining; but
when he assumes to be one OF us there
is something the matter with his at
mosphere The book is something like
a sham French restaurant on the Bow
cry: it IS not French enough to be
agreeable and not American enough to
be endurable.
The author takes a great deal of pains
to pay compliments to America and
Americans. some of which would be
pretty if one had any idea that he
meant what he said. a great deal of
the book is clever, but somehow. in
the midst of the cleverness. one is like
Iy TO come upon a sentiment which
leaves a bad taste in the mouth. To use
another culinary simile. 1t is like a
dinner cooked with the most artistic
care, in which some of the viands
arouse the feeling that one would rath-
er not know where they came from. Cul-
mary figures of speech are perhaps not
out of place In dealing with Max ORell.
The Washington times., 1902-06-08

In illustration of one of these points,
/ may perhaps venture TO remark that it
was the special mission of Mr.. Kennan
to investigate in particular the alleged
cruelties incident to the exile system.
Yet, Notwithstanding the thrilling ac-
counts his rare art and enterprise have
furnished, my repeated searches through
his book for a case | might quote in
which he himself witnesses a fogging, or
any act of personal violence by an of
mained fruitless. l have not been able
to find single instance. Few people
however, doubt that such incidents fire.
uently occur just where Mr.. Kennan
was. though he did not see them.
The nature of the special
experience here related is less a matter
of merit than of accident. In no other
way could it have possibly come about
as the slightest betrayal of design, or
cagerness On my part, to see what
have described would at the start have
defeated any such purpose. The ex-
perience consisted of an actual residence
in n penal exile settlement, during
which ! was the companion of the gov

much of Dr.. Howard's time was passed,
he says:
THE island of Sakhalin is to con-
tinental Siberia something worse than
The Washington times., 1902-06-08

author of this great cleanliness. OF
the task at its beginning Mr. Bangs
says:
II was not matter OF weeks, but
merely of days, before it was evident
that this army surgeon, who was
sneered at as being the doctor merely
of the illustrious individual. was of
that greater type of physician who
can administer to the diseases of the
body polite. His wonderful personal
force, his unusual sanity of mind, his
unfiinchirg courage, added to his in
stinctive ability as an organizer, soon
made General Woods influence felt
in this small, though very significant,
field OF activity. Tender as a woman
in such relations of his official life as
required the softer manner, there was
still vividly in the recollection of
those who might have been disposed
to regard tenderness as weakness his
injunction to the soldiers in action,
when he uttered his famous order:
Don't swear-shoot,' In a modifica-
Aloi- VI AlIS uiltIdutt SetIlbQ 10 lie
the guiding principle of his civil ad-
ministration. The import was the
same, but the phraseology altered;
and Don't swear-work,' became the
motto not crly of the general himself,
but of those who helped him in those
early days.
General Wood labored at this time
under the advantage which is always
that of man vested with unlimited
powers, and who is, for a time, al
lowed to go about his work upon his
own initiative, without interference
from higher officialism. Strong of pur-
pose, and with that same self-reliance
which has caused so many heartburn
ings among those who would bend him
to their own purposes in his later ad-
ministration of Cuban affairs, General
Wood mapped out his own course of
procedure, and, within week, the

the knout is inexpensive, seems to be
slightly defective. He asks what shall
be substituted for it. and some medical
men in this country might be inclined
to suggest vivisection, as having some
value to science. If not to the culprit
Judicious vivisection fer scientific ends
would probably not be more painful than
punishment by the kRout. 1t would re-
Quire 10 more cCld-blooded determina

terror in the minds of prospective vic

knout. At any rate, when it comes TO
cruelty there does not seem to be much
difference between cutting mans flesh
out inch fy inch with a knotted cord
and slicing it of With a surgeons knife.
in another nogging which DR.. Howard
witnessed, the convict was given fifty
strokes with rods, and seemed not to
object to the punishment at all, walking
away quite cheerfuliy when it was end
cd. The roformatory effect of this treat
ment also seems to be doubtful.
OF the general system of the Sakhalin
settlement, the author has this to say in
one of the later chapters:
Although | believe that the separate
and silent prison system, such as pre-
walls in Europe and America, would be
the most intcleraOle of all forms of
continuous punishment to the average
Russian criminal, am obliged to admit
that the herding system as practiced in
Sakhalin and throughout Siberia. during
