The author of this book, George L. Bolen,
has given ii the comprehensive title of
Getting a Living: The problem of wealth
and poverty, of profits, wages and trade
unionism.'' This embraces a field in which
a large majority of people are directly or
indirectly interested. 1.-THE authors expert
ence," he says in a preface, has been
varied--in over three unbroken years of
child labor. beginning at eleven; in failing
and succeeding as employer and employee,
in the latter capacity in several Occupa-
tiOns; I'm small industries and large; in
striking and being struck against; in North
and South. in primitive country districts, in
the large cities and at great mines; in cir
cumstances of special application to social
istic discussion, such close taxing of
strength. as being held until near middle
life al work not the most suitable, and as
general generalization so far of hopes or
dinarily deemed commendable." The book
shows that amid this varied experience the
author has found time to do considerable
reading and thinking on social and eco
nOmic problems, acquiring views and reach
ing conclusions which he states with clear
ness and force. The twenty-eight chapters
which compose the book treat nearly every
phase of the capital and labor question, and
of their relation TO society. The Macmillan

Der.
Edgar Fawcett, whose name has not ap-
pcared recently, but who is the author of
some very good fiction contributes the COM
plete novel to the January number of Lip
pincotts Magazine. Several good short
stories appear in the number.
In the January Century is an illustrated
description of "Fenwick Court" the much
talked-of residence and art museum in Bos-
ton, built and occupied by Mrs. John L.
Gardner. The writer praises the building
and its contents without stint.
In the January Red Book (Chicago) is an
amusing whist story in which is recounted
the downfall of an expert player who
could not keep his temper. 1t is called
THE Evanston Game" The Red Book is
a short-story magazine and each number
offers variety of entertaining fiction.
Ainslee's for January opens the new year
auspiciously. The novelette, is 1.-The Siege
of Sar," by Francis Provost Other famil-
lar names are Justin Miles Frohman. Molly
Elliott Seawall Dorothy Dix, Joseph G.
Lincoln, Alfred Sutro, Q. Henry, Kate Jor-
dan, Edward S. Van Zile, Eugene Wood
and James Huneker.

new remained to be said about the dog, yet
Maurice Maeterlinck's essay in the January
Century on "Our Friend, the Dog is not a
repetition of what has been said before, but
presents a new view of mans relations to
this animal. The lover of dogs who reads
this essay will read 1t again and yet again
1t is likely to become a classic.
In the January number of Everybody's
Magazine is amusing account of a
"nature-cure institution in New Jersey
where all sorts of diseases are cured by a
return to primitive methods of living
wearing no clothes, sleeping on the bare
ground, spending long hours lying half
buried in earth and eating only nuts and
fruit. There is q variety of other good
reading in the number. Everybody's is one
of the best of the Decent magazines.
The opening article in the January Scrib-
ner is a description of THE New Valley of
Wonders" a region in southern Utah, al
most unknown to the world. It's half-tone

REV. V|LLERS BIDS OLD
YEAR GOODBYE SADLY
AdmoniSheS His Audience to Profit
by Mistakes of Past Year for
the Future.
CANTATA LAST NIGHT

The Rev. T. ]. Villers, in his sermon at
the First Baptist Church yesterday morn
ing, talked about the new year and the one
that is just closing. This Year Also" was
his subject, the pastor using the words
from Luke xiii, s.
LAS we approach the close of the old
year." he said, there are mingled emotions
of gladness and regret. We are glad pe-
cause of past mercies. God has crowned
the year with goodness. Glad, too, because
a new book, with clean pages, unfolds for
our handwriting, but our brightest thoughts
are tinged with sober gold. We lay the old
year to rest with a sigh as well as a psalm.
We may sing,
Ring, happy bells. across the snow;
The year is going-let him CO.
But we do not like to let him go, for
his going reminds us that another year OF
our life has become part and parcel of the
dreadful past. Looking backward we behold
failures, and this saddens us. There has
are comforted, however, by the intercession
of Christ. The parable is both an incentive
and warning"
Three thoughts were enforced in the ser
mon: Gods disappointment, Christs inter-
cesson and mans probation
At last nights service the large choir of
forty voices gave a beautiful cantata, en-
titled 1.-The Holy Child by II. w. Parker.
1t was given under the direction of Mr.. Leo
b. Riggs, organist and musical director.
The solo parts were well sung and the work
of the chorus showed the most thorough
and careful training. A large audience en-
joyed the cantata.

people crowding each other in order to OBJ
tain position, even subsistence. And there
arises the question: When and where Will
ii end?'
Pessimistic you may call him, and yet
his attitude on this great subject is not at
all characteristic of him. On the contrary,
his heart is warm. gladness fills his life,
and, after ALL he is hopeful. Had this man
, in earlier years given his strength wholly
to philosophy ii seems to me he would nave
been eminently successful, for he has the
necessary temperament and his sympathles
are in that direction. Mr.. Howells's verse, In
a special degree, evinces this tendency, this
quality In his prose; both in the novel ana
the essay, IL is readily seen.
That Mr.. Howells is a believer in socialism,
in qualified sense, is true; and he has,
through his writings. given utterance TO
as is xpressed-particularly so-in "A
Traveller from Altruria.' In this work or
his one sees portrayed his dream OF good
will and universal peace. Also, his social
tic-philosophic bias is seen in his pro-
found admiration for Tolstoi and his writ
ings.
one thing that struck me in Mr.. Howells' s
character was his confession, or statement,
that the rewards given in return for labor,
long and dOubtingly rendered. were. after
all. very sweet and precious. IN point, ne
principal actOr-giving 1t with Zest sucn
as quite surprised me, coming from one or
his quiet makeup. l think ne has told the
story in some paper of his, but am sure
it will bear repeating as II came from his
lips on this occasion Said Mr.. Howells:
Years ago, one evening after a day of
lonely sightseeing in Montreal, l returned
to the hotel where / was stopping and con-
suited the register in the hope of finding
the name of some acquaintance. / was
disappointed and, turning away, L met
