Northern lliins,s In . Coed Novel.

We consider that Mr.. Elmore Elliott.
Peake il one Of the most interesting of the
American realists. Mr.. Hamlin Garland's
name has been more strenuously pro-
nounced, but we think not quite justly
1t must be that Mr.. Howells can approve
Mr.. Peake with better conscience than
he was able to bring to bear in the case
either OF Mr.. Garland or the Chevalier
Fuller. Mr.. Peake's new story. THE
Pride Of Tellfair' (Harper 4 Bros.). will
repay the reader. This is a story OF north
ern Illinois. Tellfair is a village Of some
1900 people. Perhaps the uttered revery
OF Mr.. Lucius Shaw, president OF the Tell
fair bank. on the occasion OF the last con-
cert of the season Of the Tellfair Brass
Band In the Court House Square, will indi-
cate a. we'll a. anything the sort OF place
that Tellfair was: -Gentlemen.' said Mr..
Shaw to the group who were eating loo
cream with him. Il have been sitting here
taking in the scene before me. There Is
. sight not to be seen In any other country
on Gods footstool. Here We are. q little
community Of 1000 souls. set down on the
prairie here like raisin on plum pudding.
In any other age or any other country We
would be stepped in provincialism, and
the happenings OF the great outside world
would be merely belated echoes in our
ears. Yet here we sit listening to q
nrst-class band discoursing hrst-class
musio-good, respectable music. Instead
OF candles or kerosene lamps, the stand Is
lit with electric lights. II they should 60

California would know 1t by to-morrow's
breakfast, and before noon they would have
provided us with dinner. This Is q great
country
He tilted his stove-pipe hat well back
on his head ss he concluded. and exposed
his broad brow to the full refreehment OF
the Tellfair evening breeze. This Is a love
story. and story Of law, commercial busi-
ness fast trotting horses. domestic economy
county fairs, and much else as well. 1t
is well told. and salted with philosophy
and humor. 1t was an ingenious and at
tractive scheme to set down In Tellfair
the suddenly impoverished daughter Of a
once wealthy and exclusive New Orleans
family, to introduce her there to the open
and somewhat glaring society Of the Pres
byterian church, and make her earn her
own living by giving music lessons. A
strong and commendable character is
Morris Davenport. the young Tellfair
lawyer, and We do not wonder that he
troubled the rather shallow heart Of his
blue-eyed typewriter. Especially interest
ing have We found the chapter on odd
Settlers Day. but the whole story Ia very
readable and we'll worth while.

In the world Of imaginative fiction all
things are possible. Mr.. Vance Thompson
writes entertainingly and always with
Imagination. He tells us in '6pinners OF
Life Nippinoott's) that At midnight on
Feb. 1, 1901. Mr.. John CARNEY touched q
red spot on his library wall, and as result
Of that touch an old gentleman on an
Atlantic liner In midooean suddenly fell
dead. Further. the old gentleman thought
fully left to Mr.. Carney . fortune Of the
approximate value of one million dollars
In stocls, shares, bonds. Chinese per cents.
Brazilian obligations and American in
dustrials. Gafney's friend, DR.. Ross. the
celebrated alienist, had a curious and in
teresting psychologist theory to account for
the old gentleman's death as the result
of the pressure on the wall-which may r
may not satisfy the reader. On the title
page of the book ID Get forth Rousseau's
problem, which he stated thus:
If, In order that you might inherit
good fortune from q Mandarin, living In
some PARKWAY China. whom you had never
seen. nor heard Of. IL were necessary for

would YOU touch II and kill the Mandarin

Mr.. Thompson's phrase he was q man who
sfattened himself at smart tables and fed
his veins with rare wines. knew the right
people, paid his gambling debts. did not
tell blackguardly stories about women until
well on after midnight, dressed well and rode
a decent horee.' Further we are told that
he had been stayed with hAsons and COM
forted with the apples OF good and evil
whatever they may be. But his eIpendi-
ture had for years been outrunning his In
come and he had reached that point at
which he was, in classic phrase. dead broke.
The opening chapter finds him seated in
his handsome and well-appointed library
with q book In his hand and . brandy
and soda at his side. BY chance his eye
fell on the passage from Rousseau quoted
above, and having read II he decided that
the question was q decidedly silly one.

Then he lii a cigar. Thinking it over, he
came to the conclusion that killing the
Mandarin was the basis Of modern life
that all big fortunes were built up by killing
unknown people at long range. Then when

Dutch had been engaged.
The truth seems to be that Dutch trade
fell from external. not from internal. rea-
sons. from the organized. efficient compe-
tition OF neighboring nations. not from
any vice inherent In Its own system.
The competition to which the Dutch sue
cumbed was competition OF national
units, each rendered by a protectionist
policy efficient In its own particular sphere.
Il is a proof OF trade efficiency whom the

LADY ROSES DAUGHTER.

There are plenty of writers
nowadays who can turn out in.
teresting stories of incident and
adventure, but few who have the
genius to produce novels depend
ing for their interest largely on
the charm of the characters they
create. This is where Mrs.
Humphry Ward is supreme.
Take as an example Mrs. Wards
new novel Lady Rose's Daughter.
The scene of the story is laid iq
London of about twenty years
ago. The people are, for the
most part, society folksurrounded
by the usual conventionalities.
Among these people Julie LIE
Breton-the heroine-is intro
duced. Despite the fact that
you may not like Mile. lie Breton,
you are fascinated by her. You
may not approve of her, but she
interests you intensely. Yet the
happenings of her life are not ex.
traordinary. Once having started
the book you can not put it down.
When you have finished you
realize the bigness of the story
as a piece of literary art, and
you place Mile. lie Breton where
she belongs, among the really
great heroines of fiction.
IN THE GARDEN OF CHARITY.
Since the publication of his
new novel, In the Garden Of
ChWitu, Basil King has been
likened to George Eliot by more
than one critic, and a wellknown
writer has started his review by
calling Mr.. King "a little brother
to Thomas Hardy" The story
deals almost wholly with two
women of contrasting types, and
one man, q handsome, care-free
soldier, who brings a tragedy
into their lives. The quality Of
humor in the story, says one re-
viewer, lis of the kind that is
almost suggestive of the Shake.
sperean type"
SIX TREES.
It is a curious fact about Sir
Trees, Mary +. Wilkins latest
book, that although its scenes
are laid in New England, the
characters are brought from all
over the country. There are two
Southerners, a Westerner, some
people from the Middle West,
a sailor, as well as people from
the North and East. But they
all fit equally we'll in the en-
vironment in which Miss wilkins
has placed them.
THE PRIDE OF TELLFAIR
The popularity of Gilmore
Elliot Peake's new novel, The
Pride Of TelEair, is evinced by
the great NUN Der of requests his
publishers have received for his
portrait. The author of 1.-THE
Darlingtons" seems to be known
and liked the country over. His
recent novel tells a thoroughly
human story of life in Tellfair, a
small town in the Middle West.
Mr.. Peake lives in a small West
ern town himself, and he knows
the people of whom he writes.
Perhaps that is the reason why
be has been able to make his
story 30 vivid and real.
