Mr.. Paul Fountain in THE Eleven Eaglets
of the West" E. P. Dutton Il CO.. had ex-
planned whether he saw the Pacific Coast
for the first time ten or twenty or forty
years ago. He used primitive means Of
in his travels. but whether this
was from choice or because there were no
railroads does not appear. His "eaglets"
are the eleven Pacific and Rocky Mountain
States: his descriptions are of natural
scenery and Of animals. He has a good
word to say for The Indian. AS he care
fully avoids civilization and statistics and
political matter his division of his book
ao oording to States is rather eccentric
The descriptions are good and there are
enough incidents of travel to keep the
reader interested
To turn the charming little Dent volumes

If typographical beauty can serve to arouse
an interest in study the pretty and artis-

WILL LOOK UP ROGERS's STORY.
Judge O'SullIvan Thinks There May BE
Innocent Folks in jail.

Larry Rogers. the former stool pigeon
who confessed that he committed perjury
when he swore that there was a police plot
to kill DR.. Parkhurst, was arraigned before
Judge O'Sullivan in General Sessions yes :
terday for sentence. Rogers's counsel .
Frank Boland. asked that the sentencing of
Rogers he postponed. He said that he had
had a talk with Rogers and he thought
that his story ought to be investigated.
District Attorney Jerome then recited the
history of the plot. remarking that from
what he could learn it was a scheme to get
money and make suckers out of certain
eminent reformers.
Judge O'Sullivan said that he had heard
certain things about Rogers which made
him think that his story ought to be looked
into.
From what / have heard said Judge
O'Sullivan. there may be a number OF in
nocent men in iail. according to what this
man says. l do not know the truth of this
report. but I think it should he investi-
gated"
Mr.. Jerome didn't seem to think that
there were many innocent men IN jail, but
Judge O'Sullivan said he would not sentence
Rogers until Friday. Rogers has been
telling a number Of persons of other plots
he was in and how ne had testified falsely
when he was a stool pigeon. Mr., Jerome

Some New Fiction.

1t is hard to make out whether Mr.. William
John Hopkins, in The Clammer' (Hough-
ton, Miffin & Company means to make fun
OF The Man With the Hoe and the Chicago
school of philosophio fiction, or whether
he writes in earnest. happily unconscious
of the ridiculous. His story is a love idyl
in three clambakes, ending in the blissful
subiusation OF a mother-in- law. There
can be no doubt about the seriousness Of
the love story. which is told prettily. The
| effort to idealize the respectable business
Of digging clans with sunsets and sunrises
| and color effects or the oo1e points rather
to watching others from the shore than to
| engaging in muddy and squashy labor
ones self. The hearty gastronomic enjoy
ment of the elaborate clambakes likewise
indicates vicarious rather than real toll.
The story is amusing and readable in spite
of affectation in the telling, above all, it
is short.
By making his hero a voluble and anna
bly, vain Frenchman Mr.. Robert Barr does
away with the need OF a DR.. Watson in the
detective stories included in The Triumphs
Of Eugene Valmont' (Appletons). This the
reader will find to be a great improvement.
1t might nave been better to divide the
various adventures instead Of numbering
the chapters co~nsecutively, for the stories
are independent Of each other, Most Of
them are good and much more ingenious
than the Sherlock Holmes tales, They are
well told and the authors entertaining
comparisons between the French and
English ways of doing things show observa-
ton. His hero may be a little like the sta ge
Frenchman, but he is not overdone.
Plenty of crime and excitement make
up for defects Of style and English in

Purely conventional puppets are made
TO talk glibly in ~The Man From America
by Mrs. Henry de la Pasture G. P. Dutton
& CO... They are pretty enough puppets
and the reader hopes that they will be put
through their parts gracefully, but the
author seems to tire OF them as soon as
they are shown. There is a lot OF small talk
leading to nothing and much Irritation,
but there is no reason why the young people
should not be shufied around differently

person who gives the title to the book
acts as a deus e mdchin1 and the way IN

as fast as the various authors finish their

Times to the Norman Conquest, by the
venerable DR.. Thomas Hodgkin, now at
hand, has been preceded by several
volumes that follow it ohronologically. It
is a we'll cleaned field that has been worked
by historians Of very high rank. DR..
Hodgkin has retold the story very salts
factorly, with plenty of quotation from
the original sources, as was to be expected
from him. He has treated the Roman
period In Britain more fully than has been
the fashion, which is a decided merit. and
we are glad to see, has wasted little space
on prehistoric man and on skull history.
His effort to do justice to the Celtic side Of
British history deserves all praise.

palians in This Country.

A conoordat has Just been signed trans
ferring the work carried on by the Church
of England on the Panama Canal Zone to

cordat were the Bishop OF Honduras, the

There has long been a pretentious Episco.
pal Church at Colon. anda year ago a small
church was opened at Pana ma and con
secrated. There is a com municant list
of about 1000 taken over in the concordat
transfer, besides q considerable floating
membership more or less closely related
to the canal operations. II is said TO be
the purpose OF the Episcopal Church in
this country, acting through it's board Of
missions, further to develop the work in

after people who go there to construct the
