This is n collection OF stories OF quite
unusual merit. They reveal the inner
workings of the minds OF "A people not
much understood on their domestic and
spiritual sides, The theory Of the work
is that a masterful cid lady who Ind

husbands. presided royalty over her
household, She ruled her numerous
progeny and the horde OF relatives who
abode with her as a benevolent despot.
yet one who found many excuses Tor
shortcomings and even trespasses. She
was fond OF speaking her mind. and not

called any one to account. she was fond
OF enforcing her homily with instances
and occurrences among her neighbors,
and as she knew everybody in the coun-
try and all their family relationships and
everything that had ever happened to
any of them her stories were both apt
and entertaining, And they are fine stories,
too; some happy. many gloomy. mysteri-

A novel which is placed In the time OF
the Civil war, the location. Pennsyl-
vania village. close by Gettysburg Into
the friendly, CHEEKY, and hospitablc So
clcty of that place came a reserved maid
from New England, who was much puz-
2ied by the free and easy ways Of the
people, the jollity, the gallantries OF the
young men, and the ready response OF
the young ladies. The village lay be-
tween two leading attractions the college
at one end of Main street and the mill
tary post at the other These two rival
attractions divided the village into spc-
cial coterles, each holding fast to Its own
set There are many charming scenes
noted and described, merIymaking and
abundant good times. To Eunicc. the
Puritan maid, II is ut 6rst all very start
ing. and she is Shy as a wren; but she
finally warns TO II all. and the love ma
king includes her well as many others.
and many matches are made. Into this
Joyous life comes tho war. and EuDlcc's
lover goes to the Confederate side; then
comes the monster battle OF Gettysburg,
where he is supposed to be slain "Old

plainly be heard; indeed. q portion OF the

though the lighting Is not gone into

1t is n story of wonderful charm. told
with 4 vlvaclty and skill that captivatc

Another book on economies and the
distribution OF wealth Like many others.
it attacks individuaIism, and makes for
socialism, and tho destruction of tho re-
wards OF personal struggles and success
fu effort. 1t is not TO be denied that our
present economic system allows of too
great concentration OF wealth and the
massng OF too much power by comblna-
lions. But 1t is no remedy for gluttony to
say that man shall not cat at all There
must be some incentive TO effort or effort

he even greater tyrants than any Indus

lave now; and very likely with less abil-
ity to help the community as whole
than the present tyrants display, and
even moro personal greed.
This volume is based on the proposition
that the rewards reaped by tho trading
classes are based upon no production OF
value to the community. and are thus OBJ
tanned Mt tho sacrifice OF the producing
classes. But the offco performed by the
trading classes. In bringing products to

could be devised to do 1t cheaper than IL

tends toward the advocacy of soclnlisuc

within all factories" But that is far too
limited q possibility as applied TO the
community I'm general; there would still
have to be transportation Of food to the

no doubt cost the producer and the con-
sumner more to have the state do this
than II costs them now. And whichever
method Is employed, 1t is the producer
and the consumer that in the end must
pay the bill We must never lose sight
OF the terrible fact that public work al-
