vividly written about as they became
q part of the Missourian's story. There
Is the Emperor Macmillan, 'Archduke
of Austria, occupant of the New
Worlds throne, created for him;
Charlotte of Orleans, the Empress;
Marshal Bazaine, commander in chief
oil the French army of occupation in
Mexico; Daniel Boone, the scout; and
Benito Juarez, President of the Mexi-
can republic. Around these are
number of picturesque heroes and ras-
Gals.
The account given of Macmillan is
quite a feature of the book. The de-
scription of his strange mixture of
nobleness and faults, of princely bear
ing and of ncapacity; weak, imprac-
tical life and most heroic and dignif1ed
death, makes a vivid picture that will
last long in the memory. He imagines
himself as being really loved by the
Mexicans as the ideal Fair Cod of
their superstition. and dreamily
plans to live up to the ideal and be TO
them a great Emperor, who will en-
noble the race and make theirs great
empire. The high, broad forehead of
a gentle poet was often shaded by
dreamy melancholy, but never once did
il furrow in either craft or guile. He
is shown TO have been dandlfled in his
care of his immense, pretty beard. The
story imputes to him the fault OF being
Unscrupulously sensual and says that
the shape of his lower lip truly indi-
Gated that trait. He did not impress
the Missourian favorably, and no one
following his adventures will regret
that the Southern soldiers did not en-
list in his service.
The motive and the mission of the
charming Jacqueline was peculiar
one. Although in the employ of Napo-
leon III and suspected of being will

and as yet no more than a masterful
desire to stand well in the eyes of one

sibilites-that time might come when
this woman would have the power to
intervene; would make him hold his
hand in the business affairs at the very
moment, mayhap, when he should strike
the hardest.
With his eyes wide open to the
scheming of the old man to entrap him
into doing so, Winton fingers in the
company of the pretty girl and neglects
his work of urging the branch road to
swift completion, which celebrity is the
thing at stake in the contest. Willing

What wakes him from his folly Is find

Deals With Music S
Artistic Side.

The purpose of Henry C. Hanchett's
new book. 1.-The Art of the Musician, .
is to emphasize the distinction between
the real study of music and the study
of the arts of playing and singing which
has so long been mistaken for IT." 1t
is so written that it may also be used as
textbook for instruction, but its prin-
cipal design is to aid those who desire
to understand the aims of a composer.
the methods of his work and to be
able to appreciate the fine things that
have been done by them. Although 1t
is a work for those who already under
stand good deal about music, 1T has
much of interest and enlightenment for
those who, knowing nothing of music ex-
cept Its power to charm, wish to learn
something of the nature of the mys-
terious power and of the art of those
who can by its use SO sway the emo
tions.
1t is a book that may be read with
profit by those who care for art as a
whole and realize that music is very
important part of art Considered in that
way, the bulk of the pages could be
understood and appreciated by one who
knows nothing of the technique Of music.
The presentation of its main thought,
namely, that knowledge of music Just
for the purpose of understanding and ap-
probation as apart from the practical
ability to perform or compose II, Is
something that can and should be learn
ed, is strongly done. The author says
that the place for such education is in
school and college, although he also sug-
gests municipal concerts, assisted by
popular lectures and annotated pro-
grammes. Such education. he says, does
not absolutely require any technical

can be Systematically, interestingly, thor
oughly and usefully taught without
teaching the art of performance"
In explaining the title. 1.-THE Art of
the Musician" the difficulty of satisfac-
torily defining art in any brief way is
at least attempted of solution I'm this:
"A fine art is the conscious or inten-
tional utterance of thought by word
or action for the purpose of creating
beauty or expressing emotion" Under
such definition music easily takes
high rank. for this authority maintains
and explains that the art of music is
this conveyance of thought in the best
compositions as distinguished from the
mere pleasing of the auditory nerves
by sorority. Those simple, pleasing
sounds he represents are just things of
nature, but when man molds and COM
bines them according to some plan to ex-
press thoughts. then that constitutes
the art of the musician.
In the next chapter. The Material
of Music" a sentence worth quoting as
showing a musicians enthusiasm for
his art is this: THE greatest power in
the physical world is sunlight: the
greatest power in the spiritual world is
love: the greatest power in the intel
lectual world i~ thought. which bodies

he explains that the music Is in the
thought conveyed through the sounds.
not in the sounds themselves. The only
art which he thinks can equal or ex-
ceed music is poetry, and there ara
some ways in which even poetry must
fall short of the extent of expression
that the former has. for there are
depths of feeling in music to which
words can never attain. a pair of def
nitions are these: "Poetry-Great
thoughts expressed in beautiful Ian
guage"; "Music-Great feeling ex-
pressed in beautiful sound
A notable plea made the book Is
for the exaltation of a general culture
in music over the personal display of
some rare adept in the art. He wishes
to stimulate cooperative study of the
great oratorios, to have form of mu-
sical art that would insure the united
effort of the largest numbers: for this,
he says, has the largest influence upon
character and culture and is most to
be approved" Eanchett's eloquent ap-
peal to all the world to thus try to

derstand and appreciate this great con-
