truly loved his wife, was model of magnanimity and patience and Anne was a conscientious woman-morbid- Fy so-of high, impossible ideals, who, imagining herself a martyr, led her husband life of constant martyrdom. Anne had lived before her marriage a life of innocence from childhood and a cardinal principle with her was that goodness was impossible without sex ual purity. Had she known before her marriage of Walters departure from sexual purity she would instantly have banished from her all thought of mar riage with him. As has been well said, her mistaken course toward her hus band presents afresh the ever recur- ring problem whether the greater harm is done by transgressors who make sin tolerable or by saints who render virtue odious." Anne's forgiving l Walter which for time he fondly thought meant forgiveness was no for giveness at all. Had Majendie not made his second departure from vit- tue and had he borne his burden to the end the sympathies of most read CTS would have preponderated decid- edly in his favor.
 Miss Sinclair's handling of delicate situations and subjects evidences rare skillfulness and delicacy of touch. "The Helpmate" will seem a little woarying at first with It's long prelim- mary setting as to Walter and his wife's relations but the reader is led on until it is seen that the setting was a necessary groundwork for what fol- lows. Whether "The Helpmate' is su- i perior to that splendid work 'The Di- vine Fire" many will take issue. In "The HeIpmate," however, Miss Sin clair displays the same mastery of brilliant dialogue and portraiture evidenced in her previous book and she we'll maintains her rank as one of our most gifted literary artists.

Among the many amusing anecdotes told by John Burroughs in his new book, Camping and Tramping With Roosevelt,n is the following: ''The rough riders, wherever they are, al- ways look to President Roosevelt when in trouble. One had come to grief in Arizona. He was in jail. So he wrote something like this: Dear Colonel, I am in trouble. I shot lady in the eye, but did not intend to hit the lady. I was shooting at my wife. {"
 Of the new book "Israel's Laws and Legal Precedents," (Scribner's Sons), by Prof. Charles F. Kent of Yale, the Chicago Record Herald says: Ut will be welcomed as meeting very definite need. As the author remarks, the first requisite, if the Old Testament legal literature is to be studied intelligently and profftably, is that similar laws be grouped together and then that those in each resulting group be arranged in their chronological order. Whether in all cases it Is now possible to ascertain lL6 dSG Ol IllS N1I4OuS ASEdl 6IlhClIu6nLS is matter that admits of widely diff fering opinions. Professor Kent has a high estimate of the modern critical in- stinct. It is because these laws reveal Israels faith and ethics in the making that they possess great and perma- Fnent value.
 The laws are classified into five groups, personal and family, criminal, humane, religious and ceremonial. No where in all legal literature, as Pro- lessor Kent believes, can the genesis and growth of primitive law and insti- tutions be traced 50 clearly as in Is. raefs codes thu restored. Moreover, since they also represent the most i'm. portant cornerstones of our modern English laws and institutions, they challenge and richly reward the study Of all legal and historical students.

RIGHT OF WAY FOR SAN DIECO.YUhA ROAD More Than S25O,OOO Already Spent Inside of San Diego
 City Limits,

The actual work on the San Diego California railroad has begun at San Diego by securing right-of ways in the city amounting to s250,000. and begin ming the removal of more than 150 buildings from the surveyed route. The work of removing the buildings will consume three months, at the end of which time the road will have a clear right-of-way to the city limits.
 Surveyors under the charge of Chief Engineer J. Kallright, of the railroad company, are at present at Jacumba Pass, where 1t Is generally supposed the road will cross and en- ter the desert section of the route.
 The surveying party, commencing work within a month of the announce ment that the road was to be built is an indication of determination on the part of the company to rush construc. ton work as rapidly as possible. Or dinary work is delayed in the secur' ing of the right-of-way for many Dlonths, but in this case legal matters are being dispatched with surprising rapidity.
 The company is starting work with one eye on the future, following the example of other railroad companies, which are planting trees by the thou sands to be used as railroad ties in the future, the company has ordered several thousand trees to be planted along the route. and as a beginner three thousand are to be set out at once
