"A section Hand on the Union Pacific
RaIlway- and "A Burro Puncher' are the
titles of two succeeding chapturs. and
the final chapter Is entitled Incidents
of the slums.' In this last the author
considers two girls whom he saw in a Chicago
police court. Ono Of these was a piok-
pocket. tho other a girl Of the streets. OF
the last speci6ed we read: she was q girl
IN age, and obviously one OF the most help
less OF her order. There is a common
impression thai such woman are attracted
20 their ruin by vanity and q love OF dress.
You lose that idea among the wrecks who
walk The city streets at night. Anything
10 natter their vanity or TO crafty their
tar,e In the least likely Of all possible ex-
~periences to most Of them. II Is a matter
of keeping body and soul together. Some
are dexterous pickpockets. who make
large hauls at times-not always, how
ever. for themselves; most are lifted. i'll
dressed slaves. who, when their tributes
arc paid, are penniless. Any degree Of
viciousness may be found among them.
and you may fine as well a high degree
Of the innocence Of the immoral. the sense
Of morality completely lost In the instinct
Of self-preservation. The girl beside me
was like fragile porcelain, her thin lips
and ~nostrils and delicate skin all married
by a pasty white Embellishments
In conclusion the author says: 1T Is only
a few steps from the station house TO the
heart OF the business section of the city. i
passed through IL now, as often did, for
the sake of the feeling that II gives ore OF
the reach and strength OF the industrial
forces which are centered there. Here Ia
no sense OF failure or Of loss, but Of energy
and skill trained to high efficiency in the
cooperation Of productive powers. Men
are there producing for all mankind, and
IN spite Of the present waste OF human life
I cannot doubt that. with the problems Of
production so widely solved, the genius
of the race is turning surely to the subtler
questions of a fairer distribution

Ladders OF times gone by in matters po-
litical will find instruction and food for
thought IN the papers of the simple. golden
days of the republic that MIR. Gaillard
Hunt has catalogued under the title
Calendar of Applications and Recon-
msndations for Office during the Presi-
dency OF George Washington" WASH
inzion. Government Printing Ofice.) They
form part of the archives of the De-
pariment of State. and their contents are
summarized in the briefest possible form
by MIR. Hunt. From the specimens he gives
in his preface. however. there must be a lot
~ light on the habits of mind and the social
life Of a hundred years ago in the papers,
and queer revelations about the political
schemes of many men. II is thus that Mr..
