 But away up among the Krast noun tains. the Herr professor found more than these, and far more interesting to the reader was the Lonely House." with his daughter, pretty Anna. and an old servant maid apart from every body. But the Herr professor was very discreet old fellow and not only discovered a pretty little romance be- tween the fair Anna and manly Franz but unreathed also a few of the trag- edies of life, and altogether the story of his summer vacation Is filled with poetry and romance and deep interest to the reader. The color illustrations which are very attractive, are by Charlotte Weber, Ditzler.

 pany. rossoss i, physical infirmity, be it understood, put the '.stoop'' was merely loVaDle men tai quality that influenced her to yield in her love for a man far beneath her from the conventional worldly point or view. Mr. Hewlett has written many sweet pure wholesome stories, and Tn sorhe Stooping Lady he has added an- other success to his list. His stories, while good and readable, do not belong to that class of works that are filled with rapid events and consequently can he depended upon for excitement and thrilling interest. His stories are rather for the more leisurely reader who en- toys fine character work and ingenuously developed situations and events Ine Stopping lady is the life-story Of fair Miss Hernia Chambre Of lrish descent who. with her brother, Ensign Richard. goes to London to reside with their grandmother the Countess Morfa. The strict demands of conventional society are not altogether acceptable and pleasing to the pleasure loving and wilful little Irish Miss and thereby hangs the very prettily evolved story with a genuine heart history of deep human interest.

 ''The Heart of Jessy Laurie" by Ame- lia F. Barr. Received from Dodd, Mead X Co.,. publishers.
 "The Music Lover," by Henry Van Dyke. Published by Moffet, Yard & Co.,, 1907.
 Henry Van Dyke can always be relied upon for work that is genuine, soul up- lifting and beautiful and In his latest little published work we have one of his choicest conceptions. It appeals to the sentiments; to all that is sweet and pure in the thought of man that exists far above the harassing strife of daily ma- terial existence
 "The Music Lover" is one; 'I4ieber Meister'@ as his pupil fondly calls him. who found himself in his "favorite seat listening to the melody which filled his senses with such peaceful rapture. But silence alone would not have healed and restored his spirit. It needed something more than the absence of harsh and k brutal and meaningless noise to satisfy him. 1t needed the presence of melody and harmony; tones measured ordered and restrained; varied and blended not by chance, but by feeling and reason; sound expressive of the secret life and the rythmythical emotion of the human heart. And this he found flowing all around him. entering deeply into him. filling all the parched and empty chan nels of his being. as he listened to Bee thoven's great symphony in c. minor" No words descriptive of Dr. Van Dykes work can convey any meaning of it's ex- ousite suggestiveness and quality. 1t is
 so spiritual and tender and in its intro spectIveness also searches the sacred
 secret places of the readers heart. No
 more acceptable gift-book for the holidays
 could be found.

 "J. Archibald McKackney," by Ralph D. Paine. Published by The Outing Pub fishing company.
 MT. J. Archibald McKackney is intro duced to the reader as a collector Of whiskers, and the volume Is made up of certain episodes taken from the diary and notes of that estimable gentleman student, and now for the first time set forth. The idea is unique one, the reader very readily admits, but after perusng the first few pages entitled Ine Episode of the Titan Beard,' is equally ready to admit that 1t is a very interest ing idea as we'll. In the preface we read: Having wearied of the more common place objects of the collectors ardor, in- cluding Japanese pottery, unset gems and Roman coins Mir McKackney turned with the utmost enthusiasm to the task of obtaining the photographs, paintings and drawings of all the styles, patterns, designs, front elevations of the boards, whiskers and mustachios that have orna- mented the human face from the days of the ancient Egyptians" It is merry little conceit filled with originality and fun and is excellent medicine these very vehement days.

Premier Stolypin to permit the arrest OF

This history Of this Duma, like its

The cabinet declared It would give
Parliament every chance to Justify les
existence The deputies however, were
insistent on radical changes and their
persistence IN this course resulted in
what amounts TO charge by the gov.
eminent that the Duna was a shelter
for conspiracy and treason against the
state.
The situation entered upon its final
phase when the revolutionary members
