Thirteen years ago the Memoirs" of Charles
Godfrey Leland were published He was then
nearly seventy, and if he had chosen to bring MS
narrative down to the date of its publication
there would have been little left for his biog-
rapher to do. He broke off at an earlier PERIOD
however and while his book will always
be indispensable to the student of his career
there has been good reason for the preparation
of Mrs Penners work. AS his niece she was
admitted to his intimacy, and in his later years
especially she saw him often and received
many letters from him. Access to family docu-
ments has also strengthened her hands. At the
same time the very bulk of the material at her
disposal has kept her execution of her task from
being altogether satisfactory. Unskilled. appar-

hundred years ago Wordsworth wrote his
"Iines Composed at Grasmere the Author hav-
ing lust read in a Newspaper that the dissolu-
ton of Mr. Fox was hourly expected" The
English Journals have recently been taking ac-
count of the centenary of the death of Charles
James Fox, especially those journals which
have a care for literature. Concentrating
him as a friend of letters, 1.-THE London Times
brings I'D a point which is worth bordering in
this hurried age of ours. "All his life he de-
voured books, and neither the gaming table nor
the House of Commons could induce him to
neglect them When he came home
from CrockfOrdS in the small hours of the
morning he plunged into HerodOtus before he
went to bed This offers pretty commentary
ON the plant so common to-day, that as life
is now arranged it is next to impossible to find
time for reading. How many of the people
who thus explain away their ignorance can
claim TO be buster than a man like Fox? 1T is
true that the famous statesman had his hours
of leisure plenty of them, but he never waited
for a space of idleness to turn him lazily to
book; he found time for reading, no matter
what was toward. This, it might be argued.
showed perseverance, energy, and so on but
there is more sense in the comment of the
critic we have already quoted. Fox had no
incentive to read" he says, Except that in
vincible love of reading which GbbOn said he
would not exchange for the wealth of the
indies"

There are rInors abroad of Il new process
for book illustration. 1t is said to have merits
more attractive than those of the haftOne but
since ii is more expensive it will presumably
diSplace that useful method only in the more
luXurously made books. Every new illustra-
tive process is interesting, and we watch with
particular curiosity the developments of color
printing These have been extraordinarily
rapid, and though in many cases the work is
thin, it is often astonishingly good. We wish
The publishers of books would pay more atten-
ton to the American magazines, which, inside
and out, have been using color more and more

English, slow to change, have been more faith

In the new "Putnams Monthly" Mr.. A c.
Benson whose essays we have praised for their
charming tone, is sadly querulous about the
critics. DiScOurSing on 'The Ethics of Re
viewing" he paints a really deplOrable situa-
lion. We are asked to bear in mind that 1.-The
ordinary reviewer makes it his business at the
present time, to detect faults if he can," though
we had thought that the crying fault of latter
day criticism was that it contained too much
treace But Mr.. Benson's reader may take
his choice. From another passage we learn
that he is quite sure that "there are n great
many critics on the lookout for anything that
they can call good Still, this is cold
fort since the met result of his experience
is that there are not many people in England,
even among the trained critics, who have any
great fair for excellence of style" We are
sorry for this. And we are glad that Mr. Ben
son, out of his great kindness, is willing to
admit that reviewers do read the books they
review. He says that he has been a reviewer
himself and he knows that it is so. He doubts
whether severity in dealing with book is
ever desirable" save where it is a case of
errors in a book pretending to give informa
ton. Reviews, in his opinion, have very little
to do with the circulation of a book. We Won
der why so many authors like to be reviewed?
But we like best the comparison of the re
viewer with the man who pays to enter q
theatre and perhaps has a right to complain
if he does not get his moneys WORTH But
no one is obliged to buy book blindfod' he
continues, and if It is poor stuff, there is
nothing to be gained in the interests of the
public by making it stand in the pillory." We
had always supposed that the critic was in
vited by the author through the latters pub
Usher, to review his book without spending a
penny on it.

The Three Lucky Elements That Are
EAs. 34sj Associated In Them.
The, superstition that associates the
horseshoe with good luck Is very old.
1t is said to prevail not only among
English speaking people. but in all the
races of Europe and in southern Asia.
Antiquarians are undecided whether
its origin has to do with the material
from which the horseshoe is made or
with its shape. ,d
y The ancients. believed that iron as a
metal had great secret powers. and
they drove nails into their walls as a
protection against pestilence. The
Arabs when overtaken by serere storms
in the desert cry out. .Iron., iron!'
which they think will propit!ate the
evil spirits which have raised the
storm The Scandinavians have held
from time immemorial the idea that 1t
was.lt1cky to find a,piech of iron.
AS regards the form Of the horseshoe,
there is no doubt that among the an
clients the crescent form was much ia
vored as having lucky or preservative
powers. Ornaments were shaped In
this way to drive away evil spirits
The Chinese have their tombs built In
a semicirenlar form, like horseshoe
and the Moors use the same furin In
their architecture.

EDGAR BROWN AND MISS EN-

YEsrERDAY,
END OF A PRETTY ROMANCE
Bride and Groom Met at an Epworth
League Meeting Where Both
Were Elected Officers.

The wedding of Edgar Evans
Brown, secretary and treasurer of
the Railroad Store, and Miss Emma
Louisa Lamb, one of the wealthiest
residents of this city, took place yes
terday noon at the home of the bride,
corner of Twenty-second and Main
streets. The ceremony was witnessed
by the members of Mr. Brown s and
Miss Lambs families. The cere-
.mony was performed by the Rev.
Madison Swadener, pastor Of the
First Methodist church. After the
marriage Mr.. and Mrs. Brown left
for honeymoon trip of two weeks
duration through the south and east.
None Of Mr.. Browns friends was
aware of his engagement and it is
stated the brides closest friends
were equally in the dark. Mr.. Brown
was formerly president Of the Ep-
worth League society of the First M.
E. church and Mrs. Brown was vice
president of the same organization.
1t was in their capacities as officials
Of the Epworth League that they
first met.
Mrs. Brown has been a resident
of this city for little over year,
moving to Richmond with her mother
and sister from near Economy, where
they lived on a farm. Mrs. Brown
served as Methodist missionary to
India for five years, returning to this
country six years ago. Mr.. Brown
attempted to prevent the news of his
marriage with Miss Brown from get
ting abroad but it leaked out before
he and his bride had left the city and
they were the recipients of congratu-
lations from many surprised friends.

THIRD TERM? WHY NoT7

Judge Alton r B. Parker is heard
from again. This time in an inter-
view given at Birmingham, Alabama,
the "blind ex-possibility" says:
''I am convinced, as far as I am
personally concerned, that Mr..
Roosevelt will ask for the nomina-
tion of the Republican party for a
third term. While this would probS
ably be disputed if it was reported in
Washington or in other portions of
the East, sin my own mind am sat-
isfied that at present this is the in
tentian of the President. In spite of
the fact that when his nomination in
1904 was an assured fact, he made
the statement that under no condi-
tions would he again be. candidate,
I believe that Roosevelt has intended
all along to again ask for the nomi-
nation.'
Judge Parker may feel certain
that it is President Roosevelt's inten-
ton to ask for third nomination on
the Republican ticket, but he would
be nearer the truth if he said that
the people Of this country will de-
mand that President Roosevelt ac-
cept third term, Judge Parker
casts the slur of duplicity on our
President when he accuses him of in
tending all along to again ask for
the nomination.
