A Lithuanian lew.

'"The Fugitive" ly Ezra S. Brudnc, is
the story OF a Lithuanian Jew. born a
peasant. self-educated. and self-emanci-
pated from conditions peculiarly hard
ard repreSsive The book IS not TO be
considered an autobiography. although
the author is himself a Jew from i-ith-
uania. and gathered much IL not all OF
his material by personal experience
The massacre of d Jewish colony by IN
furiattd moujiks is one Of the dramatic
incidents of the book 1t reveals with
pitiless frankness not only the }gnor-
ance. fanaticism. and cruelty OF the
depressing Christian. but the squalor'
degradation, and servility of the perse-
cuted Jew. The hero Of the book falls
in love with Katia. the lovely daughte-
Of a well-to-do Russian, and the vicissi-
tudes Of this love affair furnish The ro-
mantle interest
The strength OF the story. however
lies In its graphic pictures Of conditions

ible to the average American reader,

The Englishman's Ideas.

Quite the most amusing thing in the
"Bookman" for March is 1.-The Omnis-
cient Briton." few caustic paragraphs
containing stories of the Englishman' s
self-sufficiency. One of them shall be
quoted verbatim:
Several years ago we happened to
be dining at d Continental table d hOte
and found ourself seated next to an
Englishman who turned out 10 be a
member of parliament, and a very gen
ial. unaffected gentleman Like many
Of his countrymen when they are out
OF England, he put aside his national
reserve and chatted pleasantly of many
things. At last he spoke Of the visit
Of the Ancient and Honorable Artil-
lery 10 London. and happened 10 men,
ton the State from which they came
and which he pronounced .Massakus-
Sits A moment later he commented
on the odd names of some of our
States. and so we ventured to inform
him Of the proper pronunciation Of
Massachusetts. We shall never forget
the look OF bland incredulity which
fitted across his face oh, but you
know, said he, that ch is pronounced
ike k Rather absurdly we grew a lit
tie hot under the collar and replied
that that was precisely what we didn't
know; that we had lived I'm various

A Life of Roosevelt.

The Man Roosevelt: A Portrait
4 Sketch b. Francis +. Leupp, Is at
tracing a s-~eat deal of merited atten-
ton. 1t is one Of the most interesting
biographies of the year
Mr. Leupp has not only known Mr.
Roosevelt personally for some twenty
Eve years. but by reason OF rs long
service as a Washington newspaper cor
respondent had opportunity to see how.
where. and how far the characteristics
OF this remarkable man have influenced
public affairs There is no attempt 20

aim has evidently Deen the truth. the
whole truth, and nothing but the truth. g"
The impre ssion of the Presidents per-
sonality. which hundreds Of thousands
OF readers will get from this book, is
singulaEly vivid and. imam. There are
hundreds Of anecdotes in its pages, some
amusing. some significant, few dra-
matte, but all characteristic and well
told.
Mr.. Leupp maintains that while Mr..
Roosevelt's impetuous manner and en-
thusiastic temperament often give the
impression of hastiness, he is in reality
very cautious IN making decisions and

Moreover. there is a good deal Of in

blamed for hastiness or arbitrary ac-
