THE TRAIL OF THE LONESOME
 PINE, By John Fox ir, Illustrated
 by ', C. Hohn Published by Charles
 SGrihners Sons, New York Slo0, at
 Judds
 The high class work by Mir Fox In the field of romance was never better exemplIned than In this, his new and splendid story which Is even better than his very popular book, Little Shepherd of the Kingdom" In this new story, as in his other half dozen successful tales, he deals with feuds and lighting and loyo-maldng in the Kentucky mountain region. The love story is a moving one and per Nades the book with its captivating quality The peaceful, lonely life of the remote Kentucky mountaineers stands out in vivid contrast with the feuds and the fighting with the fierce guests of passion, hate and revenge which sweep mems hearts and bury these better natures and cloud their generous hospital spirit, There Is fire and strength in the depletion of the exciting dramatic scenes that ani- mate tHc SloTS anu lplu lllF lcttust breathless as to the outcome and there Is beauty and pathos and tend erness in the evolution of the events and scenes that go to make up the story of the lovers, Very telling in dramatic power Is the exciting trial of Bad Rufe Tolliver and its outcome. The heroine of tho love story is q little, hare-footed mountain girl when Hale the young mining engineer, re- gently out of college, first sees her and loses his heart in his admiration of her beauty and comes soon to know that she is an unpublished diamond, That the diamond is very susceptible of polish comes out in tho progress of the story and 1t will be seen that young Hale makes no mistake.

 sl50, at Judd's,
 There is a certain rarC quality and charm of humor pervading all of Mr. Jacobs stories that Is Inimitable, pe- culiarly his own, that make his books delightful reading. He is an excep- tioral story writer in that all of his work is of even quality and all of 1t good, One is certain on picking up one of his stories in tho newspaper like those so enjoyable published in the New York Tribune year ago, or on picking up one of his books, to find real rumor. humor of the gen uine article and well worth while. So of his new book. "Salthaven," which has just had its course in the Strand makaZlne. It Is as full of quiet, de- lectable humor, novel and unexpected and amusing situations, as an egg is of meat, and the man who cannot relish them must be a dyspeptlc of the most hopeless sort. Mir. Jacobs knows the life of the English barge man and coaster, of whom he writes and you get it iu his stories with all the spice and hpmor and good cheer while the women nf the stories III the bill in all their varied styles and sam ples. "Sathaven' is full to'thc brim with interesting and comlcal stua- tions and Mir. owens Illustrations are exceedingly felicitous. As says the New York Sun:
 "Here Is pretty little port town with its nautical jetsam, sea captain asher. and their vomankind. a ship per's etHce and countless love affairs. The solemn office boz fig new friend and is very funny Vigorous repartee marks the courtship of kitchen maid and bo-sun. and much the same sort of talk In different languages passes between tho hero and tho heroine. Of course there is a match breaking sea dog who comes to matrimonial grief. A certain amount of horse play there always is in Mir Jacobs stories, but 1t Is in character with the people he introduces. His fun is genuine. and In these days we must feel grate- Q ful to writer who can bring out a hearty laugh and who keeps at it cheerfully. People who don't know ". W, Jacobs had better make his ac- qusintance at once, 'salthaven' fig a good book to begin with"

 A remarkable book incidentally af- fording an admirable picture of Eng fish provincial life and society and turning on the phenomenon of dou- ble personality as eXempined in Nest Vivian. an adorably pretty and fas- cinating young girl, who is also Enid Wynn, beautiful but wild and sporty and profane. When she is not Nest Vivian, and who, as the story opens, Is just out of the boarding school rooms. Nest is at once the coquette and the devotee: the ingenious child and the sophisticated wOman-wilful. capricious, and etcrnally lovahle. the epitome of her sex. No one fully un- derstands this extraordinary young woman-and 1t is even doubtful if she is acquainted with herself, But she is undeniably different" and. accord- ingly. she dominates every situation that 1t peases her to enter, Roy.

 The family circle in which Nest finds herself is of the upper middle class with a lord or two thrown in and the scene is q picturesque place on the English coast, formerly wa tering place and summer resort of much renown. The problem as to Nest Is most skilfully worked and developed and the mystery of her Gouble personality Is not really re- vtalcd until near the storys end.
 The ordinary reader of fiction will find this an absorbing story. But it should appeal also to the religious thinker, to the scientific inquirer, and to the seeker after truth. Certainly 1t Is a contrast to many books of the day

PLEA FOR COOPERATION
AT OLD DELAWARE

"Of the many things which add en-
chantment TO college life, there is one
which stands out pre-eminent above
its neighbors-it is the spirit OF CO.
operation. or good-fellowship. as it Is
popularity known" says an editorial in
the Delaware College Review for
April. Continuing, it says:
Let us take, for instance, the base
ball situation here at present. Outside
of college a baseball team is treated
and considered as merely a high-priced
machine; in our case the student-body
looks upon our baseball team in an
entirely different light. II is not pos
sible for every student to be a mem
Der of the baseball squad, but for a
stranger to hear the way the students
make use of the pronouns 'We," and
."Ours," when speaking of the baseball
team, he would think that every stu
dent was on the team. That this is
the case and that such a feeling does
exist adds greatly to the efficiency Of
the team, which feels the responsible
.ity placed upon IT, Its members know
that they are playing for the honor of
Old Delaware. that they have the unit
ed student body at their back, and that
II they win. the pleasure of the victory
is not theirs alone, but is shared by
all. And If they lose. the entire
weight Of the blow does not fall on
their shoulders-it is divided among
the entire student-body.
''That this is the proper spirit and
that it will continue 10 exist with un-
abated intensity as long as Old Della
ware shall stand is the heartfelt wish
of all who have at any time defended
the honor Of old Gold and Blue"

when the First Infantry Band traversed
the city IN a special trolley car provided
by the Wilmington City Railway Com

proceeded to South Side Park where FOL
an hour proceeding the game a concer
was given.
Promptly at $50 o'clock Umpire Fin

that Mayor Wilson walked upon the
field. carrying In his hand the baseball

spectators Mayor Wilson said in part: o..
