Proudhon, Max Stirner, Bakounln. KropotlSn,
Tolstoy and Tucker. Each of these leaders is
given a special chapter and permitted to speak
for himself, by means Of we'll selected quota

followed by a critical analysis and an argu-

"The Orphan" by Clarence E. Milford
published by the Outing Publishing COM
pany OF New York. This is a western story
of frontier life during the days of the
great cattle rangers. The book opens with
spirit. We read of the sheriff riding to
war" at the very outset. AS to the hero,
this is the way the author describes him
Many men swore that the orphan was
bad. and many swore profanely and with
wonderful command of epithets because he
was bad. And. for obvious reasons. that
was as far as the majority went to show
their .displeasure. Those of the minority
who had gone farther and who had shown
their hatred by rash actions only proved
their foolishness; for they had, indeed, gone
far and would return no more. Tradltioh
had It that the orphan was a monRrei' a
half breed, asserting that his mother hao
been a Sioux with negro blood In her Veins.
It also asserted that his father had been
nominated and unanimously elected oy a
posse to elevated position under tree.
But the author tells us that really the or
phan's mother was white and of gentle
family. The orphan had daredevil courage
and grit which had made his name a
SYNONYM of terror. but the author goes on
to show how his innate better qualities were
discovered and how they gained ascendency
over his savagery. charming love
romance runs through the tale. The book
possesses very strikingly those elements of
dash, action and picturesqueness that appeal
to the reader.

N autobioeraphy of intense interest and of
n deep significance has just been issued

self" So unique is the volume In char
aoter, so unusual in content, that the author
Clifford Whittingham Beers, has taken care
10 disarm any tendency on the part of the
public to challenge its authenticity. For this
purpose he has used as preface a letter from
Frof. William James of Harvard, whose per-
sonal word certainly gives added weight to
che of the strangest Of human documents.
Mr.. Beers describes his book as a biography
within autobiography. For something over
three years he the victim of a serious
mental arrangement, during which time he
passed from state of profound depression and
apprehension to one of supreme abnormal ella
ton. So the biographical portion of the book
is the remarkable account of an insane per-
sens psychology written after the full restora-
ton of his mental powers. Throughout this
deranged period the young mans memory
seems to have been like a sensitive plate upon
which every experience, mental or physical,
was indeibly impressed, only requiring the
effort of a restored reason to raise 1t above
the Threshold of consciousness. Mr.. Beers
has related his story with minute fidelity to
the logical sequence of events, and with such
clarity of expression that the reader is carried
along with a sense of absolutely unbroken
continuity.
The author, however has not been concerned
merely to tell a story of surprising psychoogi-
cal interest. He is actuated by d far deeper
motive. He was himself perforce inmate
of several hospitals for the insane. and he ex-
poses many of the abuses to which the insane
ire subjected and suggests several rational
methods of reform. Moreover he speaks not
only from the bitterness of experience, but
with a passionate and noble sympathy for
those afflicted thousands least able to speak
for themselves" While the heart may sicken
and the mind revolt at some Of Mr.. Beers dis
closures, no one can close the book without
conviction of the splendid sanity of it's appeal
