Gorge" a romance of old Athens,
by Charles K. Gains, Phi. D., professor
of Greek in st. Lawrence University
Gorge is the naive and captivating
heroine, naming the book, beloved by
Theramenes, the Athenian, whose
stormy career in politics, love and war
furnishes the motive of the tale. How
he wins the maid of his choice and
carries her from a hostile city in de-
fiance of Lysander, the Spartan chief,
who afterward lays low the walls of
Athens. viii he read with ever deepen
ing interest. The story is laid in a
period covering the time of the great
Peloponnesian conflict, and abounds in
striking war pictures. Conspicuous his
toric figures of the time, such as Soc
rates and Alcibiades, are delineated in
a manner singularly lifelike. Bound

BOOK NOTICES

Three Meals a Day; the Great Twen-
tieth Century Cook Book" by Maude C.
Cooke. The Educational Company, 1913
Dearborn street. Chicago. 1t might be
said of the making of cook books there
is no end. But there is not too many
of them; there cannot be. The coun-
try has need of such literature. If
there is one thing that is needed above
another it is good cooks, and every cook
book that teaches even few persons
how to prepare food in a wholesome
and palatable way increases the sum
of human happiness and decreases doc
tors bills and divorce court calendars.
The book under consideration is the
work of Mrs. Cooke, who presumably
lives up to her name. At any rate, she
has presented in the volume "a thou
sands facts worth knowing" relative
to housekeeping in all it's branches, but
with especial reference to the culinary
department.

The man in the case was old and
profoundly in love with young, beau
tiful and fashionable woman.
Whether she loved him in return is
not said. 1t is enough to say that she
permitted his attentions-nay, more,
she encouraged them.
In fact, they were to be married.
Is it necessary to state that he was
rich?

clasped a magnificent bracelet of dia-
monds about her wrist, 81 love you

He spoke the truth, too, for it is
easy for an old man to love young
and beautiful woman who smiles upon
him.
"Oh," she laughed, as she tapped
him playfully on his bald head, you
don't have to-! Money talks, you
know"
And the old man thought it was so
very bright and funny that he stopped
down and kissed her.

It is perhaps incorrect to say the

In many parts of the South II is not

In the West, R is sounded with an

But he didn't know that puppy; it
wriggled and wriggled, and kicked

Then, as John stopped to gather
him up afresh, the puppy made dex'

out of his arms.
And with what surprising agility he
moved on those diminutive legs! John

snapped his fingers; the puppy tucked

WATCH SMALL AS A NICKEL.
Triumph Scored by an American
Maker of Chronometers.

Triumph Scored by an American
Maker Of chronometers.
The smallest watch yet turned out
in this country has Just been put on
the market, although few are on sale
yet. The new watch is the size of a
Scent piece.
The smallest watch which American
watch factories had hitherto succeeded
in making had been as big as a quar-
ter, so the new watch is looked upon
as marking a distinct advance in the
industry in this country, where
watches have only been made for
little more than half a century. Watch
makers also regard it as indicating
that the time is not far distant when
Americans will soon overtake the old
worlds watchmakers, the Swiss, in
turning out watches of minute size.
The Swiss still make a watch small
er than the Americans, but the watch
just put on the market here by both
the Waltham and the Elgin companies,
the two largest Matchmaking concerns
in this country, win have the advant-
age over the Swiss watches that all
the other watches made here have pos
sessed, namely, that of being turned
out in quantity. Under American
methods the daily output in one fac
tory is $500 a day.
The new watch is the result OF
months of patient endeavor by the
watchmakers and machinists. For
every new sized watch designed new
machines have to be made, and as
the size of the watch is reduced, by so
much more must these machines be
made more delicate.
