In the show Business.

II seems strange and not altogeth-
or pleasing, that the United States
government as represented in the
navy department, should be obliged to
so into the show business to encour-
age enlistments. comments the
Youths Companion. The latest and
most successful scheme is the moving.
picture machine which shows the life
of the bluejacket on shipboard, and
some of It on land. The advertising
value of the plan lies in the readiness
and completeness by which 1t enables
the recruiting officers to give appli-
cants an accurate idea of their duties
and pleasures. 1t is especially efIl-
cacious in the west, where less is
known about life at sea. A recruit
ing party in Nebraska lately displayed
the moving pictures to crowd Of
$4,000 people.

them an opportunity to return here on

What AmerIeans LIke to Read.

what Americans Like to Read.
Notwithstanding that the realistic
novel finds warm defenders like Mr..
Mangasarian, Americans as a rule do
not find pleasure in it. During the
past 20 years many such novels have
been published here, but who can re-
member one that has achieved great
popular success, enduring and grow
ing into permanent demand? THE
Jungle attracted a great deal of at
tention for a brief period, but to-day,
only a few months after its appear
ance, 1t is dead and buried Zoa's
novels, perhaps the strongest of that
school, have never had much vogue in
this country. George Moore is al
most unheard of on this side Of the
Atlantic. Frank Norris books had q
brief season of notice, but 1t is safe to
say that nobody ever read any of
them a second time. The novels that
have the largest sale, in this country,
like those which have the most faith
full clientele, are romances of adven-
ture, says the Chicago Journal. Even
such stories as those of George Barr
McCutcheon find readers in plenty,
ignoring their lack of literary form
for the sake of the incident. 1t is per
haps not altogether true that this
state of affairs is good one, or that
American literary taste is sound. But

Houston, Tex; AS the town bell was
tolling the hour of o'clock Sunday
morning, Thomas H. Martin, who for
years has needed its familiar fire calls,
breathed his last at the family resi-
dence, 1908 Washington avenue, after
lingering illness extending over a
period of more than four months.
Tad Martin, as he was familiarly
known by, the present fire boys and
his comrades of olden days, was 81
years of age. at the time of his death,
and in point of service he was one of
the Oldest firemen, having served in
various capacities from chief of the de-
partment to captain of station, for
more than twenty-eight years.
During the days of the volunteer de-
partment in this city he was an active
worker, beginning service as a volun-
teer in the early seventies and contin-
uing through until the volunteer de-
partment was eliminated and paid de-
partment installed.
