II. l.. lIindley, editor of the Ludlow
Tribune, says under the caption of
Plain Talk for Plain People" in the
Windham County Reformer:
- have received an ornate and vo-
luptuous copy of Col. Battell's new
edition of Ellen or Whisperings of An
Old Pine" As printing and bookbind-
ing proposition it is all right. If the
letter-press comprised write-up of Yer
mont's peerless scenery, then the pictures
would have an excuse for existing. As
it is, l can't help wondering why the
Colonel should make such "a trim and
shapely girl as Ellen talk such ponder
Gus iconuclasm in the midst of such
natural grandeur. And that's just what
the book is-iconoclasm, idol-breaking
1t won't do to dismiss Ellen and her
conversation with an impatient shrug
for the very simple and sufficient reason
that there's abundant food for thought
i'm them. There's a whole lot of rot
about modern science, and the Colonel
has certainly attacked it where its armor
is little thin-to say nothing about the
sheathng underneath. Its impossible to
even outline the arguments of the book
read it yourself, if you have time.

True it is that the automobile has
come to stay and with it has also got to
come more stringent laws regarding the
running of such vehicles, if one is to
judge by the newspaper mention that is
being accorded these motor vehicles.
The Milford, IN. H., Cabinet touches a
phase of the question that has not re-
ceived the attention it deserves when it
says: "The presence of so many auto
mobiles on the roads outside the village
in all directions, according to the
testimony of creditable people, and in
fact of the persons themselves, deters
many women from coming to the village
to trade, who are, under ordinary cir
cumstances, pretty good drivers, and
about this season of the year quite
numerous. They have to defer these
visits until they can come accompanied

FLATTERlNG RECOGNITION.

Given New Novel Ellen, by Prof. George
+. Barker, the Eminent Scientist.
The revised edition of Ellen or Whis-
perings of An Old Pine" just issued by
the American Publishing Company of
this place is eIiciting favorable comment
in every section of the country where it
has been received. Among a score of
others, Prof. George f. Barker, emeritus
professor of physics at the University of
Pennsylvania, received an autograph
copy of the book from Mr. Battel and
that this man of science appreciated the
book and the theories advanced may be
Judged from his letter, which follows:
JOSEPH BATTELL, ESQ.
My Dear Sir:-I beg to express to you
my thanks for the first volume of the
second edition of your remarkable book,
Ellen" Obviously there has been much
thought spent upon the reasoning con
tanned in it and the criticisms it con-
tains must, | think, tend to modify some
of the views which are today held on
these subjects. shall be glad to see the
second volume, since it proposes to dis
cuss the theories of undulation which are
more directly in my own line of study.
With kind regards believe me,
Very truly yours,
GEORGE f. BARKER.
