As is already known, Dwight Tilton
In his forthcoming book, ION Satans

very far but just far enough to tell of
a possible peril at Washington, aris-
ing from the GENERALIZATION of wealth;
but he did not expect the good fortune
of this Endorsement from the news
stories which have so recently startled
the country, saying that several SEN
ators received kilograms from the
Standard Oil Company, insisting that
no antitrust legislation must pass.
The situation that Dwight Tilton i'm

this unfortunate class.
The work is ably written and is cal
culated to benefit the reader by excit-
ing his sympathy in behalf OF these
people. and by showing him how serl-
ously work out the results OF mis-
guided efforts. We are glad that Mr..
Rlis has written this book because Of
the fact that there have been so many

will remain text book upon the SUB

Confessions of an English Opium
Eater" by Thomas de Quincy
This seems 20 be the original pipe
dream. If Mr.. de Quincy had occupied
his time in taxing the Kelley cure In
stead of writing this book, we think
he would have been better employed.
He seems TO be bughouse all right,
and We are sorry for him-but the
book was sert us as free sample,
so we have no kick.
"A History of the French Revolu-
ton" by Thomas Carlyle
We have derived some pleasure from
reading this volume, but the pleasure
would have been greater If the author
had cultivated a smoother style. His
language popi around like the cracker
on the end OF a bull whip. His eyes
have a frenzed stare, and his hair is
rumpled every way for Sunday If
Mr.. Carlyle will get his hair cut. we
believe that he will have better sue
cess with his next book. 1t is certain
that he has sort of aptness of de-
scription, which is perhaps best evil

real sorry for Marie when we read
about her. and we are not easily af-

sign of emotion than changing our
quid from one cheek to the other. But
we nearly slobbered when we read
about Marie.

Swindled again! This book was rep
resented to us as consisting of dozen
or more tales, but we found only four,
and of these we have read only the
Knighte's and the Clerks. The author
has the usual vanity of authors, and
takes up a large part of the work
with his own writing-in what he
calls a Prologue. We paid for Tales
and not Prologues.
However, we admit that Mr.. Chau-

Gently decided that it would run a

the result of the EDITORS first attempt
The Merry Wives of Windsor, by VIM.
Shakespeare
We do not think much of this work,
which is written partly in poetry and
party in prose. 1t seems to US that
a book should be either all poetry or
none at all. The author has some
good ideas, and some understanding of
human nature, but his style is not
clear, and in some places we could not
tell what he is driving at. We be-
lieve that when the author is older
and has had further practice, he will
be able to produce a book of some
worth. When he next takes up his
pen, we suggest to him that he cut
out all questionable illusions. This
Merry Wives, as it stands, is not fit
to be read in our best families, and
we recommend that our fathers be
careful that their daughters do not
secure copies of it. Mr.. Shakespeare s
picturing of the desires of the lower
nature may be true to life, and may
appeal to the book readers of New
York (of which place we believe he
is a native), but we will find that such
does not pay in communities like this,
where virtue is held in the highest es-
TEEN.
The illustrations in the volume are
very poor. We have heard of Mr..
Gibson, who is said to be a splendid
artist. We suggest that Mr.. Shakes
peare secure his services as an illus
traitor when he brings out his next
