Dora does not do or see cannot be con-
5ured up in the fertile ina gination OF a
story writer. The book is very funny
and must be read to be appreciated.

way Publishing company
This is collection of wise sayings,
some of which are wiser than others.
1t must be said for the writer that she
has been original when originality in
epigram would seem wellnigh impos-
sible- But it is evident that she
has known life In more than surface
ways and profited by experience, the
great teacher. Here are few good
things of the many in this volume:
Heaven is prepared place for pre-
pared people"
True victory colors are won or lost
on the lone arena of the human heart"
IF we could know our future would
be bright 1T would weaken our ener-
gies- II we knew it was to be dark, it
would paralyZe our efforts"
I'VE prove a blessing or a blight to
all among whom We live"
Two souls that love are ever of one
age"
There is a river of difficulty be-
tween US and everything worth hav-
ing"
.'Youthfulness is not a matter of
years, nor a condition of the bodily
frame; IL is something pertaining to
spirit which is forever young While
we have youth in our hearts we can
never grow old"
soeur MarIe-A Poem-By Mary Randall
Shippey. Robert Grier Cooke, New
York.
This is a somewhat striking study
OF the human soul-a soul that has
suffered and therefore learned; a soul
that questions itself and others and re-
ceives no satisfying reply till the
crowning moment when it discovers
itself TO be identical with the Christ.
Soeur Marie belongs to a sisterhood
whose object is to develop the very
highest spiritual altitude attainable by
mortal more especially women. The
poem proves the writer, who died eight
years before the publication of this
volume, possessed not a little in COM
mon with Christina Rossetti. Every
page contains some genuinely poetic
thought rich and delicate enough to
rhythmic blemishes; and ii would not
be so very easy to match in contempo-
raneeus literature this picture OF the
master passion;
Lovei LoveI the mystic syllable that
stirred
The Souls first consciousness long ere the
suns
Evolved from chaos; Love. the immortal
breath
That quickened cold insensate clay to feel
And worship and reflect its Makers imagei
Lovei L0vei the first and final utterance
OF system unto system. voiceless borne
Across the vast. abysmal. starless spacesi
And Love. the boundless, Quenchless,
deathless fire
That leaps unto its own.-world unto
world.
Life unto life:-through hopeless prison
walls
OF dumb. impassive clay. soul unto soul!

The author of this little collection OF
humorous verse was the late cartoonist
of the Minneapolis Tribune, whose un-
timely end saddened the community
This is the second edition, the first
having appeared in 1900. There could
be no better test of the quality of the
verse than the fact that the original
edition was sold out-a distinction ac-
corded to the work of but few poets OF
these days of sterilized commercial
ism. "Freckles and Tan" is devoted tC
the joys and trials of boyhood and i:
as full of plain human nature as the
