As a writer of animal stories and
forest life Mr.. Roberts is too widely
and favorably known to need addition
al commentator. The stories in this
new collection are among the strong
est and best he has ever written. The
book is illustrated with many draw
ings by Charles Livingston Bull, four
of which are in color.
He has largely taken for his sub
ject those animals rarely met with in
books, whose lives are spent I'm the
Silences," where they are the supreme
rulers. Mr.. Roberts has written of
them sympathetically, as always. but
with fine regard for scientific truth.

NOW IN FIFTIETH YEAR.
Roosevelt Observes His Forty ninth
 Birthday In Usual Way.

Washington, Oct. 28 - President Roosevelt's forty ninth birthday has passed into history. No celebration marked the event, the president round- ing out his forty-ninth year and enter ing on his flftieth without departing from his customary Sunday pro- gramme of worship, work and recrea- tion. Much of the day, however, was spent at the White House freside in a quiet family rejoicing. Congratula- tions in large numbers by mail, tele- graph and telephone were received at the White House.
 Mir Roosevelt attended Grace church in the morning, after which he spent a short time in the executive office go- ing over his correspondence In the afternoon in a downpour of rain, ac- companied by the usual guards, he went out for a long cross country walk. He left the White House about 3:30 o'clock and returned before 6 o'clock. Subsequently President Roose- welt received the Hungarian club of New York in the east room, when the visitors extended their congratulations. It has been the custom of the Hunga- rian club to visit Washington on Pres ident Roosevelt's birthday to pay their respects.

JOB FOR REV. JOHN KELLER.
Church Confers Honors to Show Faith In Rector Who Was Shot by Barker.

III ncCtoF WHO was Snot py 6aTker.
 Arlington, N. J., Oct. 2S.-In the ap- pointment of the Rev. John Keller to the important post of organizing sec- retary of the Protestant Episcopal church in the isthmus of Panama his friends see an expression by the church of its abiding faith in the clergyman.
 His departure from this place, where formerly he was rector of Trinity chapel, will close a chapter in his life which was fraught with tragedy and calumny. Since MT. Keller was shot, six years ago, in Arlington by Thomas Barker, following a secret interview between Mrs. Barker and her hus- band, his friends have hoped earnestly for some official action which would reveal the attitude of the Episcopal church toward Mir Keller They see in this appointment complete vindi- cation of the rector.
