easily, therefore are washed oftener, and
wear out more quickly. So when one man
ufacturer decided to give his patrons the
colored collar of their choice. another man
ufacturer made up his mind TO spoil the
trade. and this is the way he did it.
He made UP thousand dozen colored
collars, and sent a wagon containing half
of this thousand to the lower East Side
of New York, and the other 500 to the mid
die West Side, with orders that they were

In very short time all the negroes of the
East and West sides came out with colored
collars on their shirts. That they did not
match the shirts was of small moment
They were colored collars, worn by colored
men. and that was all that the manufac-
turer was driving 1t. This broke I'D the
trade, and now unless a shirt is made to
order there are no colored collars to be
had for it.

relative concerning her standing in schol-

she has attained perfection. being marked

and in this work he found a congenial
theme. He says in a preface: THE task
has been made easy by an interest in the
subject, that has increased at every step:
1t certainly possesses points OF interest
not found in many lives. The Roosevelt
family and genealogy are more than ordi-
narily interesting. and the character. career
and works of its present most distinguished
representative are remarkably so. From
his earliest manhod he has been notable
person and has won distinction in many
positions and widely different fields. He
was three years a member of the New
York Legislature, two years police COM
missioner of New York city, six years civil
service commissioner, one year assistant
army, two years Governor, six months vice
president, and finally President. During
all these years, until he became President,
literature was his chief occupation. One
year after he was out of college there
was published his 1.-The Naval War OF 1872,
or the History of the United States Navy
During the Late War with Great Brit
aim which is considered the best author
ity on both sides of the Atlantic. Since
then he has published nearly twenty vol
umes. covering wide range of history
and miscellany, has written numerous mag
azlne articles and many public papers or
political Importance. He has won distinc-
ton in civil and military offices and has
become one Of the worlds famous men.
The portrayal OF the life and character
of such a man must needs be interesting,
and In this case it is well done. The au-
thor has CLEANED the field closely and has
given due proportion TO every phase of his
subject. Theodore Roosevelt the ranch
man, cowboy and hunter is as faithfully
presented as Theodore Roosevelt the states
man, civil-service reformer. Governor,
President. soldier and author. Copious quo
tations from his literary works give the
reader a good idea of their scope. His per-
sonal character and family life are de-
scribed with delicacy and tact, and his
public services are related with compre
hensiVe intelligence. The book is fine
portrayal of one OF Americas most inter-
esting personalities. 1t contains many in

The Deems of DeIiverance.

1.-THE Deeps of Deliverance" is by dis
tinguished Dutch writer, Frederick Van
Eeden. who. like Tolstoi. writes of the most
intimate personal life Of his character. The
story Of Hedwig de Fontayne is the minute
delineation of her moral and physical life
from her earliest years. Her strong con-
flicting impulses, her many lapses from the
straight path and her many returns to the
virtuous life are told graphically. But the
story is not a pleasan. one. though the
reader must admire the skill with which
the author handles his delicate subject
There can be no doubt that Mr.. Van Eeden
is actuated by the highest and most artistic
motives in writing this novel, though the
choice of his subject is more or less dis
agreeable. The book is skillfully trans
lated by Miss Margaret Robinson. G. p.

horror over the whole proceeding Miss
Mary poured the chloroform into the cot

A Woman Ventures.

David Graham hillips has already proved
his ability to tell good story His Great
God Success" and His Serene Highness'
were not only clever and entertaining. but
gave promise of better work to follow. "A
Woman Ventures" hardly fulfills this prom
Use, however. 1t is tale in which New
York newspaper men and women and stage
people figure AS Mr.. Phillips is himself a
newspaper man IT might be assumed that
he drew his characters and incidents from
life, and perhaps he did so, but in dealing
with them he indicates that not only is the
standard of morality and general conduct
very low among the personages of whom
ne writes. but manages to convey his con-
Vlctlon that The same Is true OF the class TO
which they belong. This tacit opinion Is not
obscured by the fact that one or two of the
characters do behave in an honorable fash
ion after long careers of more or less du-
bious behavior. The story of the young
newspaper woman has an air Of unreality.
such success as hers is extremely I'M
likely to have come so easily even to
very pretty woman. There is an unpleasant
atmosphere about the tale and 1t leaves
rather a bad taste in the mouth. The

Weather Eorecasfinr.

There is no subject which occupies a
larger share of attention and concerning
which most people have less accurate
knowledge than the weather. This is prob
ably due to the fact that the study of mete-
orology has been left mostly to scientists.
though great many farmers have prac-
teal knowledge of it. acquired by expert
ence and observation. The whole subject is
interestingly treated in THE Weather and
Practical Methods of Forecasting It." by
f. b. Dunn, formerly local forecaster at
New York He has embodied in the work
the results of many years observations and
experience and they are put in a popular
and untechnical form. The book can be
studied with profit by all who wish to un-
derstand a subject of universal interest.

Detroit Free Press.
The Northern Pacific Railroad has made
a practice of issuing passes over it's lines
To members of the Legislatures of Mime
sofa, North Dakota, Montana, Idaho and
Washington. This was not an unwonted
act of generosity on the part of the road
IN fact, this free transportation had come
to>be regarded as one of the perquistes of

travel to state institutions or to make in

President Mellen has brought out the fact
that this is not the view of the case taken
by the legislators. The latest batch of
passes. as usual were good only for the
time that the respective legislatures were
In session. and they have been Indignantly

The Last Days of Pekin.

This volume is a translation from the
French of Pierre Lott by Myrta l.. Jones'
and is illustrated from photographs and
drawings by Jessie B. Jones. The trans
lator says in the preface: THE account Of
his experiences in China published by Pierre
Lott under the title of Les Derniers Jours
de Pekin.' first appeared in the form Of
letters written to the Figaro from China,
from notes taken on the spot during those
memorable days when he was serving on
board one of the French warships" His
account Of his experiences in China is very
personal and graphic and shows phases of
the life and of the terrible work of the
Boxers in a way almost too vivid. His de-
scription of the Chinese holy of HOLES, the
imperial city, is revelation, giving ii

The Vultures.

A novel by Henry Seton Merrman can
hardly fail to recount many stirring Incl
dents and deeds of daring. In 1.-The Vul-
lures" his latest completed story, he proves
that he is equally acquainted with the Sc
cret ways of diplomacy and with the depths
and dangers of conspiracy. Varied nation
alities are represented by diplomats, In quiet
garb and of unassuming manners, who
gather at the ancient capital of a once
proud nation, now humbled to the dust by
the hated Russian. These visitors scent
from afar the preparations for an uprising
which can result only I'm defeat and destruc-
ton and there to fulfill their mission as
witnesses. neutrals only, bearing neither
aid nor sympathy. They have met before in
other unhappy lands where disorder regned.
and with grim irony they style each other
'vultures," lowering they are over the
fields of revolution where fortunes are per-
rifice. The revolt fails on the very eve of
its carefully planned outbreak, through be-
travail, apparently unknown to the cause
by young girl timid, appealing in her
manner, and without self-assertion vet
who by slight error of Judgment as IL
seemed, furnished the spy of the Russians
with the knowledge needed. The wild ride
of the two leaders down the swollen river
Vistula with it's floating ice, and the tragic
death of the younger, are described with a
pathos and power that touch the heart.
