J. n. Adams, the business Mayor Of
Buffalo. who Ia described by Isaao r. Mar
oosson in the June Worlds Work, lie noted
for his directness Of speech az we'll as for
his efficient business methods in munici-
pal affairs. Among the e~pigrammatio
sayings quoted from him are:
"a public ONCE lie not a private graft
Economy is not parsimony, but efficient
administration
THE trail Of the political dollar should be
as publicly known as the route Of the En-
pire State Express
-The way to climb upward Ia not TO live
downward
Under Mayor Adams's administration the
article says, the municipal government has
become a great business establishment
with the citizens as stockholders and no
"insiders.'
Where in IN open competition a man
sells a short story for 5000, as Rowland
Thomas did not long since, a second
story from the same writer ia awaited with
interest. THE Kings Handy Man is tho

appears as the leading story Of the Red
Book Magazine for june.
Harry Stillwell Edwards's discussion Of
sThe Negro and the South, which is one Of
the important features Of the June Gen.
tury, is based upon an intimate and SYM
pathetic understanding Of the black man
gained through his Southern birth and
breeding and his long experience as a
ne editor and in political life. The
significant question he asks in all serious
ness is, Where else in the world Ia there a
people developing so rapidly as the negro1
Tie death OF Eliza Brightman Of England
reoa lis an unusual literary career which
began when the writer was 90 and con-
tinued until she was "a. Mrs. Brightman,
who never was a strong woman, being
left a widow, settled down quietly to the
study Of natural history at her country
place at Stanmore. Animals and birds
were left to roam about as they liked while
the writer observed their habits, Her first
book, wild Nature Won by Kindness
met with so much success that she pub
lished a series Of volumes recording her OBJ
~servations of natural history, Of which the
latest, Quiet Hours with Nature, y was pub
lished in 1904. For thirty years the COM
panionship of the animal world was her CON-
slant interest and solaoe. The books she
wrote were the record Of her own expert,
enoes.
John Spargo's new book op Socialism"
aims to give in popular language a clear
statement Of the principles OF modern
scientific" socialism, with a sketch Of their
hist orical development from the Utopian

Mr.. Dillon Wallace, who has returned
from a second journey through the interior
Of Labrador up to Unsava Bay, met on his
journey Mrs. Leonidas Hubbard, Jr., the
widow OF his companion in the first expedi-
ton. Mr.. Wallao e made the second journey
to complete the one undertaken by himself
and Mr.. Hubbard, which ended so ira gio-
ally. 4The Lure OF the Labrador Wild"
the story Of the first expedition, is about
TO be issued in a new edition, with a prefa-
tory note written by Mr.. Wallace since his
return.
c. f. Lawrence asoribes the passing OF
hurnor in literature to three causes: First,
the hurry to make books; second, the sex
novel, and third, the coming and triumph
of the woman novelist. Humor is the
child of leisure and cheerfulness, according
to Mr.. Lawrence, and the speed Of the type
written article, the spirit Of the factory
system in the rapid production of machine
made books, the increase of riches and de-
crease of cheerfulness all contribute to the
decay of humor. Then came the sad period
of the problem In novels when the Seventh
Commandment was the misapplied text
Of a thousand tales, when 'The Woman
Who Did frowned and humor fed Finally
