Another book of eplgrams, with a wise

These cynicisms and parodies of familiar
old saws and proverbs may be compare
lively easy to write, but they make anus

attractively bound and printed and would

cartooning the President.

THE T~eddyssey." Drawings and text by
Ohio Cushing. Life Publishing Company,
New York.
President Roosevelt is now to be handed
down to posterity in Homeric form. Mr..
Cushing's clever pencil has been at work
with the President as a subject and the
result is his little book. 1t records In
good-natured caricature the Presidents
more salient accomplishments and expert
ences in chaste outline drawing In the
classical style and described in captions
which follow his career in something the
same manner that Homer made famous the
far-wandering adventures of the willy
Ulysses.

They were rescued and safely taken aboard

about this new book, it starts right in with

On the Home.

VII 50
THE Queenly Mother" BY Margaret E..
eangster. Fleming H. Revell Company,
New York.
A charming gift book. which any
thoughtful woman would appreciate. 1t
treats of many of the little problems
whose origin and solution lies directly in
the home, and which are beyond the gun
Outstanding of outsiders. OF the horne
itself she says:
Love of home ! not the peculiar at
tribute of either sex. Deeply rooted in
human nature in every civilized land, the
love of home belongs as much to men as
to women. With passionate earnestness
and yearning inconsistencies. men under
foreign skies look backward to the old
roof and the old soil and the old associa-
lions. The soldier by the campfire seizes
eagerly the letter from home; the man
looking up from the deck of a vessel
unfamiliar skies wishes hat he were
standing by the gate with the day-lilies
white in the sheen Of the moon. and the
scent of his fathers pipe, homely and
keen, seems waited to him over Leagues
of land and sea. If a man or a boy does
not cling to his home, something has gone
wrong with him. Home means as much TO
q man as to a woman, although his work
is rather for 1t than in it. When a man
locks and bars his house at night and
turns out the gas. though the home be ever
so small and plain. and ever so obscure,
he has some glimmering OF the feeling
men had when they kept the medieval
castle strongly entrenched by mote and
drawbrldge. and defended IL thus from all
lntruders.
"A mans home Is his best protection

the soul and ind for attack its weakest

4Tbe FIieht TO EDEN.

THE Flight to Eden" BY Harrison
Rhodes. Henry Holt & Co. New York.
The theme is somewhat out of the or
binary and the setting is a little unusual,
too. 1t Is the tale of a mans fight to
overcome hls promiscuous love Of the
fair sex. Having caused the suicide of
his wife through her discovery of mis-
latest transgression. the amorlst. sincerely
repentant. decides to make reparation by
resolving never again to cause any woman
sorrow. He goes from London to the
southern part of Florida, where he meets
with adventures which try his resolution.
Basil Forester, son of IN English mar
uuis, rich and careless of woman's feel
ings, really loved his wife, Lady Kitty,
but he was too susceptible to the attrac-
lions of others. and when his wife found
him with an actress at supper she went
home and killed herself, leaving a letter
to her mother explaining the reason. The
London fashionable world did not hear the
scandal. as it had been given out that
Lady Kitty's death was merely sudden.
but her mother threatened to make For
r~ester's actions public II he did not at once
quit the city.
In the early 'O's, when the action takes
place. Florida was not overrun by tourists
as 1t Is now. Therefore, when the be-
reaved husband entered Tomocala he
found a great resting place on property
he bought across the bay from the little
hamlet. His %ueighbor was James Harri-
man, an odd character, with a Cracker
wife and two lovely, but %untaught daugh-
ters, Marion and Constance. Hartman
had been wealthy and was educated, but
when years before his wife had run away,
he became a woman-hater and changed his
mode Of living He lived as nearly like
an animal az possible, treated his wife and
daughters worse than the hogs he allowed
to roam the house and swore like a pirate
at everything and everybody. Forester
fell in love with Marion. and his brother,
Lord AIkinlock. who later came from Eng
land for his health, made love to Con-
stance. The story becomes a little theatric
from this point on, but Forester energies
with a clean bill Of character and the book
ends with happiness In Eden in the Ever
QladAs of Florida.

point. A good home furnishes a man with
armor of proof against the wiles of the
devil"
A particularly interesting chapter is de-
voted to Christmas; It's meaning and its
observance. Mrs. Sangster decries the
practise of many modern women of taking
away from their children their belief in
Santa Claus. She says in part:
''Only the little children on Christmas
eve enter into the perfect meaning and
e~cstatic gladness of the Christmas-tide.
for the reason that In them faith and
fancy yet linger Foolishly, and in the
interests of a mis-called truth, some Of
us do our best to clip the wings of child
hood and rob it of its poetry. It is as If
we would brush the gold from a butterfiy's
pinion and steal the perfume from a rose.
Just so long as a child may walk into
Christmas v by the door of dreamland-
is the child the most envied and enviable
of the human race. The period Is brief
at the best. The things we deem realities
SOON enough ruthlessly sweep ava the
soft tissues n shining draperies that
make the child's world a palace of the
gods"
The book is well worth reading, not only
for its common sense, but for the pretty
word plays, behind which the writer's
meaning shines.

Paducah and Cairo viii Combine To

In Section.
SOME FEAruREs ARRANGED

Fourth of July in Paducah this
year looms up large and momentous
with the preparations already under
way for its celebration, With the hol-
iday seven weeks off, activity among
local persons interested in making it
a great day, will cause all western
Kentucky to fall in with Paducah and
not to plan any smaller celebrations
themselves. The entertainments be-
ing prepared for that date will out
strip any previously given and all
transportation lines will afford low
rates and adequate facilities for
reaching the city.
The Woodmen of the World will
have the largest celebration at Wal
Lace park. All arrangements have
been made for the day, except the
details OF the program. Exclusive use
of the park, the Casino and the base
bail park in the morning have been
secured from the traction company
and the events already decided upon
will be speaking, athletic sports.
dancing, moving pictures, band con-
|certs, baseball games and magnifi-
cent fireworks. These merely are the
broad features of the days entertain
ments and the details will be worked
out by a committee of the w. o. w.
DR.. NJ. Steinfeld, chairman of the
committee on program, has mailed
so letters to w. o. w lodges in as
many western Kentucky towns,
as far east as Marion, nd
south to Murray, north to
Metropolis and west to Hickman and
Cairo. The lodges in all the towns
will be urged to come to Paducah
July to make it one great gala day
and only in the most incidental way
will any effort to boost the w. o. w.
be made. Advertising will be sent to
all the towns to insure large attend
ance. not only of lodge members but
anybody who will come. M
Cairo. with whose lodge the idea
of a big celebration either at Padu-
cah or Cairo, originated, will have a
big excursion steamer chartered to
bring their crowd to the city. A
crack baseball team also will be
brought to play the best local nine.
All the packets are expected to
bring crowds and many special ex-
cursions will be arranged One way
of giving the other towns direct in
terest in the celebration will be the
participation by members of their
lodges in the various events on the
program. particularly the athletic
events. These will include log roll
ing in the lake, boat and swimming
races, foot races, and different tests
OF skill and strength. all gotten up
with an eye to the ridiculous. A fat
mans baseball game in the morning
may be feature. Care will be ta-
ken to keep something doing every
minute. - 81
Contrary to the usual custom, no
admission will be charged to the park
and only certain features will have
any cost attached. The dancing pa
wilton will have a nominal admis-
sion charge as win the shows or en-
tertainments at the Casino, but the
athletic events, the speaking, and the
fireworks will be free. Lunch can be
gotten on the grounds, SO that an
|all-day pleasure jaunt may be had.
It will be several weeks before the
program can be finished but this will
be done as fast as the other towns
lrespond.
