evokes in a matchless way the memory
of those fair days of the lost sunshine
of youth, when, with our cares behind
and our hearts ahead. we went dancing
through the dust out to some old Aunt
Mary's.
And Mr.. Christy has done his part to
make this a gift book of pure joy. We
have all fallen in love with the Christy
girl many times over. Here is a new
creation, the Christy boy in all his
glory, a laughing, mischievous, whole
some imp. Boy incarnate, full of life
and zest from the top of his tangled
crown to the soles of his bare brown
feet.

stanza has three pages devoted to 1t.
The first page contains a center pic

stanza and set in an elaborate and
daintily traced border decoration by
Margaret Armstrong; the second page
shows the Stanza itself; and the third
is given to a full page illustration The
book is large and handsomely bound,

drawn by Christy, on the cover.
T IS strange but nevertheless a fact
that one of the newest books is
composed of the oldest detective
stories. That describes Monsieur
Dupin" which is fresh from the press
of Mcclure, Phillips & Co. 1t is a com
pilation of the detective stories of
Edgar Allen Poe.
An eastern reviewer perdnently re-
marks: 1t was a happy idea to as
semble the detective stories of Poe in
a single modern volume, with new
illustrations, together with a critical
analysis of Poe as the founder of the
school of this class of fiction. The
editor of the compilation remains I'M
named, save for the initials w. A. B.
He has chosen the three tales which
Enthusiastically belong to the category,
The Murders in the Rue Morgue,"
Mystery n
THE Purloined Letter." He has next
added as detective story. despite its
usual classification as a grotesque,
most gruesome tales. He closes the
volume with 1.-The Gold Bug" that
often reprinted tale. which properly
belongs in the same classification be-
cause of its character as the unravel-
ing of a mystery. In his introduction
he notes the influence which Poe ex-
erted in this line of fiction writing
upon his most distinguished followers
Gaboriau and DR.. Doyle. He says:
Poe has been factor of singular
importance in the artistic and literary
history of the nineteenth century. It
is surprising how a writer who from
an American point of view, represents
little beyond the discovery almost
childlike in it's eager intensity, of the
very material Of romance so long de-
MED it by isolation and by the new
ness and practically of its own en-
vironment, should have contributed
SO extensively to movements of which
he himself could have had no concep-
ton"

My a few people would ex-
~ peet anything else but that
~ the critics Of The Law Of Of, tn, the
new novel, should accuse the author of
an intense southern partisanship on
the negro question He adopts they
say, a bitter spirit of race hostility,
exhibits an antipathy to the negroes
felt by few southerners. and seems to
be doing his best to stir up the south
against the north. The publishers say
that this is decidedly unjust to Mr..
Hough- Although accused of south
ern prejudice, he was born in Iowa
and has lived for many years in Chi
cago. He is a Republican, has been
so all his life, and his father was
Republican before him. His people
were Virginia Quakers, who freed all
their slaves thirty years before the
war. The family plantation was more
than half suspected to be station on
the Underground Railway. But
though a Republican and northern
er. Mr.. Hough is thoroughly convinced
that the north has fiagrantly mis-
judged the south and that. before it
passes judgment, it should get the
facts His conviction is set forth with
passion in The Law of the Land"

Dear Sir: The way to reckon the cost

the cost of the paint and the cost Of
putting it on.
1t would save the country hundreds
of millions of dollars a year: it would

See how it works. II costs rs much
to put-on one paint as another, don't it?
Yes. If You use the same number OF
gallons.

No, You'll use twice as many gollons
of adulterated paint as of Devoe: and
