one gets the impression from reading
Of Ruskin's early years that he missed
many of the privileges of healthy boy
hood. When he was a man, he and a
companion were out one day upon the
mouDtainsde. They passed group of
men, says n writer in the Strand Mag
azlne, who were engaged In rough
work with pickaxes.

enjoy a surreptitious row on the river.

1t is easy to read here a woman's

Ruskin was always, quite properly,
under his mothers control; but it is
possible that if he had had the outlet
Of reasonable athletics his destructive
moods would have been less marked.
1t was during his residence at Den

Yes, mother" Ruskin replied, as
humble as little boy, and changed
the subject.
Ruskin was not afraid to admit to
others besides his mother that he was
wrong. In lecture at Oxford when
he was a Slade professor, Sir William
Richmond defended the fame which
the world had accorded to Mcclellan
gelo and Rafael. Formely RuSkin had
denounced Michelangelo and was not
very well pleased with Sir William
for presenting the other side. When
Ruskin recovered from the illness
which had cause him to give up the
Slade professorship, Sir William re-

AFTER GREENPOINT OGLERS.
Police Get Three Men At Corner where
Women Climb 10 High Car steps.

Police Sergeant Bowes went out yester-
day morning to investigate a number OF
complaints sent recently to the police OF
by young women. who asked that the cor
ners at Manhattan and Norman avenues
be cleared of men who congregate there
in order to watch women alighting and
boarding cars The running boards Of
open cars are nearly two feet from the
pavement at that point.
Bowes stood for several minutes at a
distance from the spot and noticed that
a number Of men were on the southwest
corner. Several young women blushed
while the conductor of a crosstown car
was helping them aboard. The men on
the corner giggled and laughed.
Bowes then sailed into the crowd and
arrested three young men, who said they
were David Gladdis OF 1874 Meserole avenue,
Joseph McPharlon of 104 Manhattan ave-
nue. and Salvatore Gasolano of 154 Norman
avenue They were arraigned in the Even
st rect police court, where Bowes informed
Magistrate O'Reilly of the complaints,
MANY women" said Bowes in order
not to be compelled to raise their skirts to
board the steps of the cars, which are SO high
from the roadway, walk two or three blocks
and then get on a car. 1t is most humiliat-
ing to girls and young women TO see these
men watching them and a stop ought to
be put to II
Magistrate O'Reilly discharged the pris-
oners because 1t was their first offence. He
said, however, that in the future offenders
would be severely punished The Magis-
trate added that he would do all in his
power to break up the ogling practice

NEW BOOKS.



Though the publishers call IL zone Of the
half-dozen memorable books Of ls0S,' We
fancy that "'The Call OF the Wild" by Jack
London (Macmillans), will be heard of for
a good many years to come. 1t is the epic
OF the dog. Mr.. London, like Kipling's
ship, has found himself He has written
big story in sober English. and with
thorough art in the construction. 1t 10
original too, save in his reverting to his
previous tales. Il IL cruel and savage
in many places, and will not do for the
squeamish, but he gets wonderfully close
to nature, to dog nature, and TO the heart
Of the wild land he tells OF.
Every dog lover will warm to the noble dog
that is his hero, whether in tbs luxurious
home where he is introduced, or bragg ing
the pack or fighting his way to the lead, or
afterward when he Is drawn to "the Wild,
again. The brutal treatment to which he
is subjected makes the blood boil, but 1t is
needed for his development. Mr. London
holds close tothe dog way Of thinking; that Is.
to what men imagine dogs ideas must be.
From the human point of view it is a very
satisfactory piece OF canine psychology.
a dog thinks of 1t. The author treats his
humans who must come into the tale very
much AZ they might treat dogs. They are
mere foils for dog qualities,
II may seem hypercritical to pick flaws
in what is wonderfully perfect bit OF work.
While we are ready to accept the dogs
awakening and return to the "primordial'
instincts Of his kind, il seems a trife strained
20 have him recollect, however dimly,
primeval man and his possible simian
ancestor. We can't help feeling that an
otherwise natural and exemplary dog has
been reading Darwin, which we should be
sorry TO have any dog we respected do.
We cannot help thinking, too, that the
annual return of tho dog who has become
head of the wolf pack to the place where
the man he loved died is an inartistic con-
cession to human sentimentality and con-
vention. We can understand the dog
who refuses to leave his masters body
or who dies on his grave, but the dog who
returns at fixed intervals to the place where
he lies s hardly true to nature OF to art.
This slip occurs at the end, and is therefore
pei haps to be pardoned, but 1t jars the
reader who has tried to work himself into
the authors mood.
No doubt the story will be taken by
ministers and others as an apologize. and
all sorts of examples and morals will be
drawn from it for human use, The author
can't help that, and. OF course, man has
lot to learn from the dog We prefer to
take the book for what it Is, a pure dog
story and wonderfully good one.
Three artists have been called in TO H.
lustrate the book-Messrs. Philip r. Good
win, Charles Livingston Bull and Charles
Edward Hooper. Some Of the pictures
are in colors, the others in tint, and some
are decidedly clever. We think they are a
mistake, however; they do not come up TO
the story, and we should have enjoyed it
better without them.
This is a book that will be heard Of. The
dog adventures are as exciting as any
mans exploits could be, and Mr.. London's
workmanship is wholly satisfying,
