"The Wrath of Knopf" and othcr
stories, by Howard James, BROAD
way Publishing Coz.
Mr.. Howard James is a cousin of
Henry James, the author of American
extraction (who now lives in England),
but of course Mr. Howard James could
not help that Then, too Mr.. Howard
James Is a cousin of Gen. Charles King
which some readers will say is also
something of lick against him, but
he had nothing on earth to do with
that eth er. 1t is his book that is
bothering us just now and his rela-
tfonship would not have been mentioned
here only that his publishers brought
it in in a statement or forewood in the
book here discussed.
1.-THE Wrath of Knopf" is collection
of eight short stories, all pretty good ,
above the ordinary quite. THE
Rehabilitation of Dabney" and "The
Testimony of the Sun" struck this re-
viewer as the best stories in the lot
although all are very good even if
the author is related to the literary
persons mentioned above.
Manual of Prayers" for the use of the
Catholic laity, (John Murphy Co.,
Baltimore and New York;.
This Manual of Prayers issued for
the laity of the Catholic church is an
unusually handsome book Every
Catholic knows what such a manual
contains, so that it is only necessary
to explain here that the book is hand
somely produced by John Murphy Co.
of Baltimore and New York, bound in
leather, and better than that, the price
is very reasonable.
The Manual of Prayers" has this in
dorsement from Cardinal Gibbons: THE
prayer book ordered by the third pie
nary council of Baltimore having been
diligently compiled and examined, is
hereby approved" The book is copy
righted by Clarence E. Woodman.
1.-THE High Adventure" by Hugh De Sell
ingcourt John Lane Coz
Just what THE High Adventure" is
even after reading the book, you would
never know In a hundred years unless
you happened to strike the very para
graph deciphering it. and one is very like
~ to overlook 1t. So, for the benefit of
fast readers "The High Adventure con-
sisted in the hope one minute that the
hero in the book would escape marriage,
and the next minute the fear that no
good woman would take pity upon him.
1t is an awful thing to be a fascinating
man, like the hero in this book, for you
see he was In danger (and knew it-worse
luck) all of the time. Then the hero had
ideals, but not many sane ideas, which
all will agree Is quite different thing.

Montana, resigned. He gave ILL
health as the reason for his action.
His term expires in January next, so

In his statement to Secretary of
State Yoder Governor Toole calls at

Ing absent from the State for more

from all cares.
