Frank West Rollins, ex-governor of
President Roosevelt's latest contrf-
button to the discussion of mature
taking" published in the September
Everybody's Magazine, is vigorous
presentation of his views, and very
much to the point. That the president
is a naturalist well fitted to form
judgments on matters of this kind Is
not likely to be denied by those who
are in a position to know, but an in
teresting light on this side of our
many-sided president is thrown by
Mr.. John Burroughs new book,
Camping and Tramping with Roose-
welt" soon to come from the press of
Messrs. Houghton, Miflin & Co. In
writing of President Roosevelt as a
nature lover and observer, Mr. Bur-
roughs cites many instance of his
acuteness and accuracy which have
come to his notice during years of ac-
quafntance, and he shows, too, how
genuine a lover of wild animals and
all nature the President is. In the
first part OF the book Mr.. Burroughs
tells in an entertaining way the story
of his trip to the Yellowstone Park
with the president, and gives an In
teresting picture of his companion.
The popularity of Mark Twain is
perennial; and the Harpers have Just
found it necessary to issue new editions

McClureS is remarkable. After a break

sip of Rossetti, Irving, Bernhardt,
Charles Reade and other famous people

the legal and medical possibilities Of ex-
detrimental psychology and is full OF IN
terest and suggestion for the average
Law reader. Cleveland Moffett's win

turous sport In the upper air, tells now

hand balloon"
Mrs. Wharton's great novel, The
Fruit of the Tree" which is now run
ming serially in Scribner's Magazine,
will be published in book form this fall
Writing soon after the appearance OF
Mrs. Wharton's House of Mirth. a
reviewer in the Atlantic said of the ex-
pectation of her future work: The
mere thought of another novel sets the
appetite on edge and recalls the eager
ness with which readers awaited the
next Thackeray or Dickens me
Fruit of the Tree" is not only worthy
of this expectation but meets it with a
surprise. The powers that marked tho
earlier book Mrs. Wharton now uses
in a story of broader humanity, con-
cerned with one of the elemental ques-
lions that are som etimes held to defy
solution. The remarkable situation
which develops in the middle of the
novel is not only new to fiction, but It's
psychological effect upon the charac-
ters and its subtle illustrations of the
danger OF meddling with the greater
laws of life are. followed with such
passes beyond the mark of even her
former work. Apart from it's critical
success the book is intrinsically alb
sorbing. The tense attitude of the
characters brought about by the CEN
trail incident is caught by the reader.
It is probable that the discussion of
Justine" will surpass that aroused by
Lilly Bart"
Lost and Found.
