Meantime Kate Bonnet went with Dickory
Charter and his mother to Jamaica to get her
rich uncle to go with her IN search of her
father. This search is an appetizing segment
OF the story and is characterized by the au-
thor's best treatment The story of the love
OF Dickory and Kate Is very admirably told.
Diokory had been at Barbados far beneath
her socially, but gradually the chasm was
bridged. Dickory had misgivings, for he
thought Kate had tender place in her heart
for young English planter in Barbadoes,
who, had professed to love her, but, at the
last, when Kate had heard Of her father s
ignominious death. and her uncle had re-
ceived a letter from her Barbados lover,
saying he could not marry the daughter of
an executed felon, this is what happened:
Kate did not scream, nor moan, nor faint,
but she sat straight UP in herschair and gazed
with wild intentness at her uncle. No one
spoke. At such a moment coincidence or
sympathy would have been a cruel mockery.
They were all as pale as chalk. In his heart
Mr.. Delaplaine said: I see it all; the gov
ernor must have known, and he loved her
SO he could not break her heart In the
midst Of the silence. in the midst of the
chalky whiteness of their faces, in the midst
of the blackness which was settling down
upon them, Kate Bonnet still sat upright,
a GOODNESS creeping through every part of
her. Suddenly she turned her head and in
voice OF wild entreaty, she called out: %,
Dlckory, why don't you come to mel In an
instant Dickory was there, and, cold and
llfeless, Kate Bonnet was in his arms" The
young fellow was worthy of her, as the story
shows.
The reader heaves sigh Of relief when he
hnds the lovely little thing safe in Dickory' s
strong arms Mr.. Stockton's humor favors
the whole book. Even in describing such
trag1cal occurrences as Blackbeard's fight with
the British war ship, he injects the most hui
morous favOring, and Bonnet's piratical ca
reer is made positive opera boufa. =

This is what a leading American
physician says:
One type of leanness is that of people
who in proportion to their height carry
small degree of flesh. These persons
suffer loss of personal beauty, are more
liable to death from disease than we'll
nourished persons, and they are also
more liable to attack by disease.
This class of persons owe their lean
ness to an underfed condition of the
system.
This has its origin in Indifferent d.
gestlon and assimilation and, as con-
sequence there is scantiness of flesh.

Kate Bonnet. The Romance Of q Pirates
Daughter. BY Frank R. Stockton. Illus
trated. New York: D. Appleton Co., NO.
u Fifth avenue. Price. $3.50.
Mr.. Stockton has, in this story of the period
of the buccaneers Of the West Indies, pre-
scented the reader with heroine most love-
ly, loveable, unsophisticated. sweet and pure
~ strong, aggressive character; not a
cir, of gushing sentiment-..w- but just love-
ly! One Of those maidens w1l~~e presence
and atmospheric whose innocence and purity,
still profane thoughts and compel the respect
of even the profigate. Kate Bonnet lived in
Barbados, where her father had a planta-
ton. Major Stede Bonnet had married a
second wife and was unhappy, as was lovely
little Kate The major resolved to be a
bloody pirate, bought a ship, fitted her up
and, leaving wife and daughter, sailed forth
under, the ''Jolly Roger, . the skull and cross
bones flag. Kate had no Idea of the purpose
of her father, and went the ship at Bridge
town just before sailing, intending to go to
Jamaica with the major to see an uncle. A
young peddler warned her Of the character
of the crew as she waited for her father.
This youth, very clever fellow, assisted her
to escape from the ship in very romantic
way, and took her to his mothers. There
after we have seriocomic account of Major
Bonnet's piratical career, which was success
full in the main, the ultimate result being
Bonnet's capture and execution asse pirate.

| prefers OF those intricate passages which to
many seem wilful eccentricties of the poet,
concealing his real thoughts behind barriers
| or metaphysic and involved rhetoric. In this
critical study of Macbeth the authors have
performed a real service in giving to readers
many extracts from books Of the Elizabethan
period which were no doubt in Shakspere's
own library and from which his great genius
look ideas which he evolved in his own
peculiar way for his plays The connecting
INKS between these extracts and the plays
are made subjects of inquiry and discussion
among this literary material Of Shakspere is
from the ancient chronicles. The witch 8
prophesy and Duncan's death are drawn
from Hector Boece's Chronicles Of Scotland,
first printed in 1886. And Boetius was drawn
upon by Shakspere for much Of the play, as
the coming Of Birnam Wood to Dunsinane
and incidents leading to the Staying of Mac
beth and the verification of the witches
prophecy.
The comments of leading Shakspere scholars
on the character of Lady Macbeth embody a
valuable feature Of the work. There is only
short extract from De Quinceys fine essay
on THE Knocking at the Gate" No COM
mentator on Shakspere has surpassed De
Quincy in his treatment of this portion Of
the play.
Among the queries for discussion given
by the authors is this: Are readers
now apt to agree with Upton that the play
would be better If Lady Macbeth and the
witches were left out?' There is no doubt
that the proposition, il put to the vote of
readers Of the plays, would be rejected as
very stupid and unthinkable. The witches
and Lady Macbeth are essential to the con-
spiracy and the whole movement of the
tragedy. Some woman had to he in it and
Lady Macbeth fits into it, perfectly.
The American Farmer. By A. NJ
Simons editor Of the International Social
ist Review. Chicago: Charles f. Kerr &
Co., No. So Fifth avenue.
The author of this book exploits his honest
sympathy with the dogmas of the social de-
nocracy. He devotes several chapters to a
sketch of the American farmers progress
from the early pioneer status to what he calls
his modern slavery to organized capital and
| middlemen,' who take the major portion of
the profits. The deplorable condition in which
he places the farmer of to- day is hardly justi-
| fed by the extraordinarily easy financial con-
dition of farmers in the great agricultural
, and dairying states. #
