Religious Life in America-By Ernest
Hamlin Abbot; published by The
Outlook company, New York.
This book is composed of series of
fourteen articles, re-edited and repro
duced from contributions to 1.-The Out
look, being record of thoughtful
studies made by an observing man in
all parts of the United States east of
the Rockies. Preliminary, let it be
said that anything from the press of
The Outlook or from the pen of an
Abbott Is worth reading. In the South
ne found it was 1.-The thing" to belong
to the church, among both whites and
blacks. OF the situation there it is
impossible to generalize, the author
being reminded of the Irishman's say
ing that in one respect all women are
ahke-in that they are all different.
In the North and West there is less
church going, but activity is shown
In allied work through young peoples
societies, the Y. M. c. A. and other
organizations. He found the Y NC.
A., however, not in touch with the
laboring classes as much as he had
hoped. He found in the Central West
many secret societies which constitute
an interesting and not inconsider-
able phase of religious life Every
where, however, there is cIamor Of
creeds, and so many distinctiveIy
ecclesiastical bodies that even a brief
mention of them would be encyclopedia
in form and character. In America
this multiplicity is the strength of
Christianity, "and if the position of
leaders in religious thought can be ac-
cepted as guide, future religious life
IN America will be marked by tenden-
c1es toward a religion less dependent
upon intellectual hypothesis less tim
Id, less literal, more ethical and with
desire for beauty of religious ex-
preston and an opportunity for doing
good after the teaching and practice of
the man of Nazareth" The book is
commended to all thinking people.

This book is apparently a reprint
from imported plates Of an English

childhood and youth of a rather prolix
French writer. Here is a sample par

OF this review her romance is tedious

London's Preferences do Not
Include Works in Vogue
on This Side.
Bv Herbert Wallace.

In spite of the fact that it is yet
too early in the new year to pass judg-
ment on the books of 1902, the lists of
the best fifty books" are beginning
to appear. 1t is impossible that such
lists are at all accurate, because the
past season closed only a week ago and
it is not at all unlikely that some very
good books came into being too late
to receive much attention before the
end of the year. On one point alone
are the critics likely to agree-without
doubt they will all put the year down
as the greatest yet in the history of
publishing in the number of volumes
issued. 1t is that very fact, however,
the fact of enormous and constantly
increasing output, that makes it more
and more difficult to predict length of
life or the qualities of endurance to
any one book or list of books. The
average life of book is growing short
er, if one may be pardoned the con-
Trajectory terms, year by year. IN
stead of a novels selling for several
seasons, as was the custom formerly,
it is remarkable for one to live in popu-
lar demand for more than six months.
The twelve best books of the year
in English, according to the London
Academy's voting contest, shows a
Boston woman'S work in first place.

cantaloupe for breakfast in the autumn
ought TO be Interested in the answer
which Colorado has Just filed in one of
the few original actions ever brought in
the supreme court OF the United States.
Kansas says that Colorado is using an
undue amount OF the Arkansas river for
irrigation purposes. Her action is based
on the same principle OF riparian .ighss as
that OF farmer against a neighbor VINO
has diverted the current Of creek. The
Arkansas is two thousand one hundred
miles in length. the third longest river in
America. I. rises in the Rockies in CEN
trail Colorado and trayerses Kansas,
Oklahoma. Indian Territory and Arkan-
sas before Il reaches the Mississippi.
Government surveys make 1t navigable
river. So il is-in places. During the
greater part of the year there is more
water within fifty miles than thousand
miles OF its source. For long distance
in Colorado il has rock bottom. When
It reaches Kansas il seeps into the earth
and its course in summer is only wind
ing ribbon OF sand. The Colorado farm
ers find growing cantaloupes and sugar
beets by irrigation extremely profitable.
and so would their Kansas neighbors. II
they had anything for their bitches.
WHOSE WATER is 1T. ANYWAY
At first Colorado thought appealing TO
the United States supreme court TO stop
the interior business OF another state was
too ridiculous for consideration. How
ever. Kansas won in the preliminary
skirnish. Colorado maintains that the
waters Of tho Arkansas river in Kansas
never come from Colorado except in a
ffashe,. and the flow Of the river Is local
in its origin all along its serpen,ne
course. Tit were no, touched by man
in Colorado. Il would not differ from It's
presen, condition. Moreover. II Is the
snow on Colorados own mountains that
makes the river. |! you started out TO

How an Actor Trains.

One OF the English actors who Wis
tied the United States first two years
ago became SO popular as matinee
hero. in spite Of his obesity, that II
seemed as II the day Of the fat actor
might have arrived at last. But the
star evidently lost confidence In his
ability to hold his audience II he grew
any stootsf. He returned last month
thinner By thirty pounds than he had
been. To retain these slighter pro-
portions no Jockey ever went through
more strenuous training than he. He
takes q Turkish bath daily, and when
there are matinees may be found in
the hot room as early as 10 O'Clock In
the morning. He fingers there as
long as health will permit and has his
reward in looking many pounds slight
er and some years younger when he
steps on the stage. But the treat
ment is heroic and the actor expresses
his own doubts as to the length Of
time he will be able to keep UP such
. sacrifice for the sake Of his looks.

"STEALING A RIVER

tween two states eauitably. where would
the policy Of government interference IN
the relations between states end +? asks
Colorados attorney-general.
IRRIGATION AND WEALTH.
This is not the first difficult question in
law that we shall have as the result Of
irrigation, which is now becoming wide
spread in the west. Stealing brook
will become as serious an ofense as
stealing horse. With Colorado. develop
ment is a question Of water. Her popula-
ton. II is held. would be reduced by one
half without the use Of irrigation. When
the present plans for irrigation are ma
tured. the state will be able To support
million instead Of half million OF people.
But these plans virtually mean that the
Platte. the Arkansas. and the Grand riy-
ers will be damned and held in Colorado.
Though il makes no difference in the
amount OF water over the bed. every
gallon taken out OF the stream in Colo
rado. Kansas insists. does affect the un-
deriow in the neighboring state. You
have only TO sink few feet anywhere in
Kansas along the banks Of the dry bed to
find water. the supply Of which. II is said.
has been continually decreasing because
of the increase OF irrigation in Colorado.
The point that the Coloradoans have
missed. according to the Kansas idea. is
that the water from an underfiow Will
make sugar beets and Rocky Ford melons
grow Just as surely as water from an
overflow.
One feature OF tho SUIT Is that when
ever Kansas makes a move in It there is
a food. Last spring. when tho Kansas
attorneys were due in Washington. a
freshet in tho Arkansas prevented one
from arriving on time. while Attorney
General Coleman OF Kansas. on his re-
turn. was forced by this same food TO
travel eigh, hundred miles out Of his way
TO reach his home.

Capt. Hudson's company Of the Nation
al Guard expects soon tobe fully uniforms
ed and supplied with the krag-Jorgsnson
rifles. These rifles have range OF hve
miles. will shoot bullet through the
bodies of fiity-five men. with the nearest
man fifty-three feet away and at dis
tance OF nearly a mile II will hurl It's pro-
iectile through the bodies Of sig men.
A portion of the National Guards
equipment is what are called "mob cart
ridges" to be used whenever troops are
called out to suppress riots. II soldiers
were ordered to shoot on such occasions It
would be dangerous to have bullets that
travel five miles. as innocent parsons =
mile or so distant might be killed. To
meet such emergencies the mob cart
ridge" has been devised. 1t has two
round balls Of soft lead instead Of single
steel-nosed proieetile. and is not effective
a. distance Of more than 200 yards.
Since the above was in type an order
from Gen. Bell informs Capt. Hudson
that Maj Gibbons will arrive in Rocky
Ford on Sunday to prepare tho Rocky
Ford company for active service. It Is
expected that the company will leave
here Monday for Goidfield where Il will
be equipped with uniforms and furnished
arms. This call so soon after organiza-
ton is quite a surprise to the boys.
