ILLUSTRATED SUPPLEMENT.
SUNDAY, APRIL "a 1904

Is il too much TO assume that the tide is really
turning. and that the "boomster," that literary
nest. is sinking at last beneath the surfaceF
Certain il is that we are hearing little less OF
that clamor which has so often filled the air
about some new and worthless writer. An
American publisher is quoted as having de
clarcd to n reporter in London that all this
drum beating has led to "a general WEAKNESS
on the part of the reading public" and it seems
as If this fact were being more widely recoS-
nized every day. Perhaps, too, the publishers
have perceived that their market Is now affected
by economic conditions all along the line, and
are realizing that It is unwiSe to try to force
upon the public books which the public can
easily do without With the increase in the
prices of food and other necessities there has
come in many quarters a need for greater care
in all expenditures, and the people who have
always bought books in a small way take pains
to indulge their taste more judiciouSly. They
are in the mood to resent as they have not re-
scented in years, the trash that is doomed by
specious representations, by the circulation Of
treacly paragraphs in newspapers Of the baser
sort, and by socalled reviews" in which those
papers set mediocrity TO applaud mediocrity 1t
may very well be that we are on the eve or
that quiet reimbursement OF literary conditions
for which The Tribune has long been working
and waiting.

Il Brief Study Of the Successor Of
RicheHeu.

MAZARIN by Arthur HasSaN. NJ. A. lForelsn
Statesmen Series) 12mo, PIP. XIV, 49, The Mac
milan Company.
Cardinal Mazarin is one of those figures IN
history who need to be portrayed with the ut
most discretion. There were attractive elements
in his personality, and he had. at the same time.
some repellent traits. Thus writer may easily
err in his favor or against him. Similarly his
solid achievements as a statesman may be ap-
praised too generously or not generously enough
if the investigator does not take pains to place
his limitations in precisely the right light. Mr.
Hassan has been hard put to it to arrive at the
golden mean in a book brief to impose a
rather cramped historical view upon him But
he endeavors steadily to hold the balance true
and his sketch of Mazarin is. on the whole, just

A critic writing in THE AthenHum" about
American literature acknowledges that ii now
adays stands on its own legs and borrows less
from the Old World" 1t also protests that
There was more truth than the patriotic Ameri-
can is willing to admit in the criticism which
spoke of Irving as the American Goldsmith, and
Cooper as the American Scott" and points out
that 1.-THE two or three really great writer's
whom the United States produced in the first
century Of their existence, and who are gcner
ally recognized as classics-POe and Emerson
and Northumberland no school, and made
little impression on the majority of their coun-
trymen, though they were intensely patriotic"
1t is believed by this writer that cit is only
now that their essential superiority to the
facile Longfellows and scholarly Lowells, who
had the prize Of immediate popularity, is coming
to be generally recognized" These sane
words. We all know that American literature
is constantly developing characteristics pecul-
iarly its own But we wonder If many thought
full Americans really believe that the literature
OF their country is ever going to be sharply
differentiated from that Of England as English
Iiteraturc * differentiated from French. That
seems, il liz very nature O< things, impos-
sible.

The exploitation in fiction Of motives fatty
incredible is usually thought to be characteristic
only of the historical rOmanCer and the writer
of tales about the future But 4 matter OF
fact your nomnaly least audaciOus story teller
is often the most preposterous- There is now
running serially through the pages Of BLACK
woods Magazine" a novel called John Chill
cote, NJ p" by Mrs. Katherine Thurston. the
author of THE Circle" The man who gives his
name 10 the tale is Il victim Of the drug habit;
this units him for the high position be fills In
political and social life, and he longs TO retire
into obscurity. Just as he is about TO collapse
he falls in with 4 stranger who is so like him in
personal appearance, and is so well qualified to
assume his political duties, that it occurs to
Chilcote TO change places with him The two
arrange TO practise this deception, not perma-
nently, but whenever the genuine Chlcote finds
it absolutely necessary TO drop his business.
Thcreupon the author asks TO believe that
the false ChilcOte plays so well the part assigned
TO him that even the wife Of his partner in the
fraud is taken in, and sits at tea with him in
her own house utterly unsuspicious. The result
is Il rather amusing story, but the latter ceases
at oLce TO have any relation to actual lfe for
all that il pretends to deal with types and con
ditions Of the present time Is not this sort OF
thing perfectly illustrative of the difference be
tween the little novelist of our day and the
masters Of the past? Who ever heard OF man
Of genius who needed SO strange a situation in
order to interest his readers7

the following statement in the hopes
that those who may be afflicted with
that dreaded disease, cancer. MAY
know that there is safe and COM
plete way Of being freed from that
dreadful scourge without the use of
knife or plaster.
"Having suffered with a cancer of
the breast for some time, and the dis
ease becoming larger and larger, l
decided to 80 to Minneapolis for treat
ment. Not knowing ut that time. of
the wonderful work that was being
done by Specialist O'Keefe in the re-
moval Of such diseases, l had con-
sented to undergo an operation, but
Providence interposed, n friend of my
husbands, whose wife was under Spe-
cialist O'Keefe's treatment, heard
what intended doing and at once
sought me and advised me never to
consent to the operation, for his wife
had undergone many and had been dis
figured for life. and now the fell dis
ease had again appeared, but he knew
where to take her for a certain and
safe cure. and he had done so, and on
the knowledge of all the benefits that
she had derived from the treatment
under it for so short time, he felt
that it was his duty to save me from
the knife.
"My husband visited Specialist
O'Keefe and after investigating his
work placed me under his care, and
with the happy results that am now
restored to perfect health.
"That awful disease, cancer, that
was literally eating away my left
breast and sapping all lie and energy
from me, was killed, removed and en-
tirely freed from my system by his
marvellous cure.
'My cancer was large one, ex-
tending nearly over the whole breast.
