IlD 7ACTICAL JOURNALISM" by
E. L. Shuman. is a book of
twenty comprehensive chap
ters, intended to enlighten the public on
the subject of newspapers and their
making. a subject which is, generally
speaking, but vaguely understood by
the outside world. Every reporter has
met those people who regard him as
a cross between a telegraph messenger
and an editor-in-chief, with the insig-
nihcance of the one and the RESPONSE
bilities of the other. Every reader of
novels has seen the alleged story of
newspaper life. in which the heroine is
sent to interview Bowery saloon
keeper or the president of trust. and
charms both by her high-bred ease Of
manner.
Causes of Misrepresentation.
There is. perhaps. no business about
which more ludicrously incorrect i'm
pressions exist than that of the making
of newspapers. A part OF this distor-
tion of ideas is due to the footing of
yelIow-devil journals assuming to set
the pace and own the road: a part of
1t comes OF the ignorant indifference Of
public which has not yet rid itself
Of the image of the country editor print
Ing notes on prize squashes and taking
some OF his subscriptions in cordwood.
Mr.. Shuman's book is intended to be a
Photographic, or, rather. klnemato-
graphic, view of the inside OF a news
paper office.
One reason for popular ignorance on
this subject is that most of the men
who understand it are too busy te r-i.c
about It, One does not find the man
ayers Of a department store or a fac
tory leaving their business to write
articles about it for the public. How
ever, Mr.. Shuman is the exception that
proves the rule. His book Will be
especially useful 70 callow youths who
wish to buck into the business. They
may not find out by reading it just what
journalism is. but they will find out
what 1t is not. and that is worth a great
deal. The book will also give them
some information about the proper
handles to take hold OF when trying TO
get into print.
Elementary Instruction.
One chapter. for example, instructs
the neophyte in writing a news story. .
Three sentences of this make a good
rule to follow:
Put the point OF your whole story
into the first sentence. and the short
er the sentence the better. Whether the
story be two columns or two inches
long. cram the marrow of IT into the
first paragraph Danish the school
essay idea that there must be an in
PRODUCTION or preliminary explanation OF
any kind"
That Troublesome Climax.
That same school essay idea is the
most troublesome obstacle in the way of
the average beginner in newspaper work.

the end. and much blue pencil expert

llnLACE AND POWER" by Ellen
Thorneycroft Fowler, sustains
the reputation of this -

Thorneycroft Fowler, sustains
the reputation of this writer
for brilliant epigram and character
drawing. while in theme it goes a little
deeper than its predecessors. The plot
turns on the prophecy OF an old itine-
rant preacher that the hero. an atheist.
will win place and power" but leave
neither to his frst-born son. The full
fllment of the prophecy is most curious
and the denouement unsupported.
Reminds One of Corelh.
The sentiment of the book is slight
ly suggestive of Marie Corelli's i'm
passioned fictional TRADES against athe-
ism. and II is to be hoped that Miss
Fowler is not heading in that diTec-
tion. Any suggestion OF heterodoxy is
as obnoxious to Miss Corelli az. let US
say, suggestions of negro suffrage are
to Senator Tillman. and we can do very
we'll without another apostle of that
kind. The greatest fault in Miss Fow-
ler's writing at present. and at the
same time one of its most amusing fea-
lures, is her tendecy to make her peo-
pie talk in epigrams. II is not natur-
al, but II is entertaining, and much TO
be preferred to the dictatorial attitude
Nobody can preach and be eplgrammatic
the same time. and the latter mannerism
is at least interesting.
The Characters.
Conrad Clayton. the hero. is a man OF
the world. with bOundless ambition and
no sentiment except paternal affection.
His son Archie is a handsome but rather
stupid boy Mark stillingheet. ehum to
Archie. is really brilliant and interest
ing, and so is Eileen St. Just, the
heroine, though there really seems no
sense in making the courtship OF two
such sensible people drag along over
ten years.
Something should be said OF the illus
trations by an artist whose very modest
small signature is III. Lewiston" They
are capitally done, and possess the rare
merit OF being suited TO the subject.
The artist evidently read the book with
some care before making the drawings,
a thing which other artists ought to do,
but don't. (New York: ID. Appleton G

wanted to prevent his capture, one of

a greater reputation for holiness than
that held by the other pilgrims.
After his last pilgrimage Mohammed
returned to Berbera, but met with
small success in that commercial town.
Seeing no prospect before him. but
that of remaining poor, begging pill
grim, he determined to strike out new
line for himself, and established HIM
self among a powerful inland tribe.
Here he made his position secure by
his appearance of Holiness, his impress
sive airs, and the assurance with which
he made his prophecies.
At this time and hereafter the magic
learnt in his boyhood stood him in
good stead whenever his holiness was
not able to overawe his somewhat tur-
bulent followers. He assumed the title
OF Mullah (priest and heaven-sent),
and even that of Mahdi (prophet).
Overwhelmed with presents by his
credulous followers, Mohammed An
dileh soon was among the richest of
the land, and with his riches his m
fiuence grew Apace.
His pride waxed very great, and one
day he ordered all the Korans of the
ordinary priests to be burnt, saying
that he was to be obeyed as a new
prophet sent from Allah. Not content
with persuasion, the Mullah, following
the example set by Mohammed, the
Great, threatened with death all those
who disbelieved, an din following
up these threats caused the disturb
ances which brought about the Soma
Hand campaign. Possessing the power
of calling forth the enthusiastic sup
port of the tridesmen, the Mullah has
not had to rely upon himself alone
for the conduct of his campaigns. If
report speak truly besides the Aus
trian, Karl Inger, he has as lieutenant
an English naval officer who, after
his disgrace in the service, sought a
career and revenge in the midst of the
Mullah's tribes.
