Hancock and published by the Henry Alte-
mus Company. Itisa sketoh..of THE Young
sst Hero with the Army in Cuba, and gives
q graphic picture Of the siege OF Santiago.
sChuggns' came Of good fighting stock,
with father who carried nusket In the
civil war. grandfather who fought In the
War Of 1912 and a great-grandfather who
served with Ethan Allen at Tioonderoga.
How Chuggins tramped from the Green
Mountain State down into western Massa-
ohusetts, followed a regiment as chore
boy 10 Tampa and worked his way across
to Cuba on q transport and 90 on to the
front-all is told In simple and oonvino-
ing manner in the little sketch which, like
the rest Of the series TO which 1t belongs,
10 q good. clean book, interesting and we'll
written, Tho adventures Of the young hero
are not too taxing TO the credulity, nor are
the experiences and results Of his determna-

The Story Of "scrossins.p

'Scroggins,' by John Uri Lloyd Dodd
Mead d Coz. Is a very simple, very pa
thetic little sketch Of an eccentric old stage
driver who became suddenly wealthy
through lucky investments and who gave
up the vocation he had followed 30 many
years to try to enjoy his good fortune.
Scroggins was 'poorhouse child,' with
little opportunity for study, and although
he travels In many lands and seeks pleasure
in many ways he finally arrives at the con-
clusion that 'et don't make no difference
how rich and ign'rant man Is, ef he only
hes sense 'nough ter keep on workin' after
Citing rich but ef he tries ter quit work
an snj'y himself by lookin' at things with
his eyes, an thinlin' with his no count
brain. an stuffin' his one stomach like ct
war hogshead. he air fool.
when feller hes an empty pocket
and head full OF thoughts, he kin be happy.
When feller has million dollars In bank,
and no thoughts outside OF a stagecoach
team, he amt happy lessen he air holdin'
Of the lines"
As a result Of his conclusions Scroggins
unloads his million dollars on his native
town for the purpose OF founding an in
stituhon where young people could be
taught to think and poorhouse children
could have a fair show and goes back
to the Rocky Mountain gulch to enjoy
himself stage coaching In the old way.
The book is illustrated by Reginald Birch
In . sympathetic and adequate manner
and h very appealing In Its homely pathos
and humble tragedy.

Mr.. Aldrioh's Judith.

When Q poet Of talent and Of repute vent
ures In these degenerate days to write a
play in blank verse, as Mr.. Thomas Bailey
Aldrich has in judith Of Bethulia' Mough-
ton. Mifflin 4 Coz. we cannot but admire
his courage. That Mr.. Aldrioh's perform
ance Is a thoroughly respectable one goes
without saying, and the opportunity to
see a comp tent actress give life to
his heroine has aroused more than an
interest Of curiosity in the public But
has the author improved on the poem
from which he made his play3
Mr.. Aldrioh Is essentially lyric poet and
that stands in his way as much as 1t did
With Tennyson. Moreover, he has not given
himself fair chance. One strong dra-
matte situation does not make play. and
where the story is we'll known and firmly
imprinted In the memory, even genius
cannot build around it new incidents that
the public win accept One dramatist after
another has tried to enlarge on the episode
Of Paolo and Francesca. and how much
Of all this dramatization has lastedf The
hundred lines Of Dante dwarf them all.
So, We fear. 1t Is with judith.
We have her pictured once for all coming
out Of the tent with the oppressor's head
in her hand, and what preoedes and what
follows are Of little moment. 1t ic hope
less task for dramatist to struggle against
fixed type. Smoothness Of verse. delicaoy
Of thought and Of language, all that the
reader will find in Mr.. Aldriohs poem. and
force, too. But is 1t play?
