/ UNUSUAL HISTORICAL ROMANcEI
FROM AN UNTOUCHED FIELD-A tale
of the days of Oglethorpe's resistance to
Spanish aggression in the south is told
with exceptional verve by Alice Mac
Gowan and Grace MacGowan Cooke in
Return, Story of the Sea Islands In
1889. The time and place offer an adj
mlraDie background for romantic adven-
ture, and the authors have made excel
lent use oft, weaving a story of love and
/ battle and character such as fits early
times and new countries.
~ The heroine and not the hero is the
central figure. At the beginning she was
Diana Chaters, belle Of Charles Town,
filrt and Tilted fiancee. Diana had toyed
With and thrown aside the affections Of
many young man of the place. At last
she went to the altar to be joined in mar
rlage to one whose name she was willing
to wear, but when she got there there
was no one waiting to be made BRIDE
groom. She had been publicly Tilted as
the result of a wager by a .'dashing young
blade" who wished to even the score be-
tween Diana and those whose hearts she
had bruised. OF course there was a scene.
Dlana lost her temper, and when Diana's
temper got loose the sparks flew. Diana
fled to Savannah to hide her chagrin, and
just to show that the jilt had not really
hurt her she wooed, won and married
line young chap from Virginia Then fol-
lowed a schism and train of woes and
adventures of dramatic and poetic in

The chief defect in. the story is in the
character Of Diana herself. She is too
Mighty tempered. Her heroics seem mock

tears passions to tatters. The way she
treats her husband, when he discovers
why she has married him, is-unwomanly.
to put 1t, very mildly. The story would
have been more forceful and the character
stronger and finer had her conduct then
been softened. Captain Tillsford's con
version, also, is too much like cant.

more than common interest and pic
turesqueness. II

place him in irons when he WIS taken

Such strange things happen in Des

Given an added year of growth 1t

RooseyELr,s SERMON.

President Roosevelt's sermon,
''preached' to an Oyster Bay congre-
cation last Sunday, was good gospel.
He stuck close to the bible and drew
from the passages he read to his aud
fence plain helpfulness toward better
living. There was nothing ford or
sensational about the Sermon" 1t
was a simple search of the scriptures
for light on righteous living One of
the lessons drawn from the scripture
reading was that national morals are
dependent upon the individual sense
of morality The progress of the coun-
try, declared the president, depends not
only on the sum Of the efforts OF In
dividuals acting in themselves for the
betterment of the communities IN
which they dwell' but in the organisa-
ton Of the forces that make for better
conditions. Evil, he said, is always to
be organized, and when better forces
organize they do their part to Offset
and little more than Offset, evil influ-
ences.
There was little essentially notable
about the sermon, except that it was
delivered by the president Of the Unit
ed States. That is enough. It is not
necessary that new and startling
theories of morality and religion be adj
vanced The "old- time religion" and
morality are good enough for US if we
may have enough Of them. 1t is an
excellent thing when men who. like.
the president, represent leadership in
politics and business, search their
Bibles for moral precepts and apply
them publicly to present conditions and
affairs. Mr.. Roosevelt, in the pulpit
with his Bible before him, is an object.
lesson, We have fallen into a COM
placent fashion of taking business, poll
itics and religion separately; of letting
the ministry. and the women look after
the higher morality, while we attend
particularly to business and every day
affairs. We need more representatives
of the every day life of the world
standing up to avow their belief and
dependence upon the great lessons of
the Bible. and applying Sunday prin-y
ciples to the other six days of the
week. Roosevelt's sermon was good,
but his example is great. His best
sermon was not spoken or written. It
consisted in his presence before the
congregation to bear witness to the
truth that righteousness exalteth a
nation.

Just now, when a healthy sentiment

This is the law declaring perjury a

Scarcely an important suit at law

seldom is any effort made to punish
