schedule OF trains on the Moffat line
goes into effect next Thursday the
trains will be run from Fifteenth aEIf
Delgany streets and the trolley ser

"HcadlightS."

Under this not too happily chosen
title, Rev. A. M. Bullock, the we'll
known Wisconsin Methodist ministe r
and writer, has produced very de
lightful little book on Washington
Mr.. Bullock writes accurately concern
ing the great national hero and his
book represents vast amount of study
and research. It's fault, if fault it be.
is that it IS almost too condensed for
Mr.. Bullock to do himself justice in
discussing the various points raised.
Where he deals fully with point, as
in his delineation of Washington the
nation builder, he displays a remark
able grasp Of the complications Of his
subject and clear forcible style Of
expression. Dates and the dry-as-
oust sorJ Of history find no part in this
monograph on the first president.
While devoid of that hero-worship
which would blind his judgement, Mr.
Bullock yet cherishes a high regard
in fact reverence, for Washington.
He at the same time presents us with
life-like and natural photograph,
or shall we call it d hash-l light picture
of the central figure of the revolution.
The reader cannot fail, after finishing
the volume, to be impressed anew with
the splendid proportions of the man
who successfully lead to fiaal victory
the oft defeated armies of the colonies
and stamped the impress of his Won
derful personality upon American life.
81 g.
Disclaiming all Intention of undue
laudation or adding to a false hero
worship, Mr.. Bullock has by his pict-
ure of Washington compelled us to
place the man yet higher in the roll
of heroes. And all this by adhering
severely to the facts in the career
and the indubitable traits exhibited
in the character of Washington.
No little charm is given the book
by the numerous pictures and illustra-
tions, selected with excellent taste
and handsomely grouped
Mr.. Bullock will not likely make
much out oil his book for it is sold at
a ridiculously small price but he will
unquestionably derive from it in
creased reputation as a scholar and
man of letters. As an old friend, The
Post extends heartiest congratulations
to the author and as such takes pride
n the meritorious production he has
given to the world Appleton Post.
