dog. Bucks sire was a st. Bernard. and his
mother was Collie. and he was shaggy
big Of body. strong Of muscle and stout OF
heart. He was stolen from q California
ranch and taken to live in the far glacier
land of the North. where he was put in q
team with work dogs and made to carry the
Yukon mail.
Jack London seems to possess an intuition
OF the dog life. and the dog heart. an In.
sight which must have come from intimacy
and communion with some big, noble, shay
BY friend; and the story is related with q
simple, direct, dramatic force which en-
chains interest; and which is art. The Re
public unhesitatingly recommends 'Ths
Call OF the Wild as a story Of quality. not
surpassed by Bob, Son of Battle" and not
approached by any other similar tale.
During the four years Of his puppyhood
IN California Buck had lived the life Of an

PRO AND con.
A lover of the ancients, commenting upon
modern books. deplores the fact that our
writer's hesitate to call a spade spade, and
the fact. as he asserts 1t. that modern
literature has fallen away from the ideals.
Refinement has brought with It no false
modesty. Indeed. there seems to be no ne
cessity In literature for dwelling upon the
facts of digestion and procreation. Much
of the. In a sense, vulgar downrightness Of
our literary forbears was mistaken for
virillty and vigor. It II odd. In this con-
nection, to reflect that these same forbsars
were 6evotees Of the much-vaunted and
much lamented ideahsm Of purity and truth
and love
It is true that an exalted ideal!sm Is scarce
to be found In the literature Of to-day: but
It has been succeeded. II not displaced. by
a practical idealism OF infinitely greater
value and influence in the world. whatever
may be its influence upon literature as such.
To-day's writings are mainly a reflection Of

as the official and intimate one should be
a history. not panegyrio. At that time
the Pope gave him numberless documents

NEW RATE IN EFFECT
Great Western Sticks to Intention
to Change Grain Rates Thru
Omaha.
Experiment Is Said to Be Successful
Grain Is Coming This
Way.
New York Sun Special Service.


Chicago. Nov. president A. B.
Stickney's proportional grain rate of 8
cents to the Missouri river and IA
cents from Omaha to Chicago and
Minneapolis was placed in effect yes
terday in spite of the efforts made to
induce the head of the Great Western
to reconsider his determination.
President Stickney paid a visit to
Omaha few days ago in company
with several Of the most prominent
grain men of the northwest, and after
looking over the ground 1t was the
consensus that the Great Western at
titude, as announced, was one which
deserved the support of grain ship
pers. President Stickney said that he
had purchased several large tracts of
land In Omaha on which he intended
to erect modern elevators and ware
houses and a few days later came the
announcement that his system had de-
cided to extend it's line from Omaha
to Denver in order to enjoy it's full
share of the grain traffic.
Reports from Omaha yesterday an
nounced that the Great Western had
secured 100000 bushels of grain stored
In elevators in that city and this is
to be moved at the rate of ten cars q
day in the direction of Minneapolis.
The action of the Great Western in
reducing the rate from Omaha to Min
neapolis will be followed by a reduced
rate to Chicago just as soon as Presi-
dent Stickney is in a position to handle
the volume of business that has been
promised the road.
The experiment Of putting in the
proportional rate on grain Is success
full according to the statements made
yesterday by the traffic officials of the
Great Western =,
