The Swedish settlers. who also took an
important part in preparing the way for
the future Pennsylvania, are also repre-
sented In the earliest stages of the
pageant. 1t is we'll known fact that
the animating motive OF the Swedish eX-
odus to this country was a deeply re-
lgious one, therefore Miss Oakley has
decided that it would be matter of ex-
cellent judgment to have this float carry
to have been raised by men of this ma
tionality in the new world. This was the
old Block House Church, which stood on
the site Of the present Old Swedes Church

Everybody expected that Miss Oakley
would include in the pageant the hack
neyed Landing of William Penn" a
tableau which has done service in pretty
nearly every celebration held in Pennsyl-
vania in the last two decades. But the
artist had originality and the courage
of her convictions. Instead of reproduce

one she has daringly attempted an in

keynote.

Washington: Woodward & Lothrop.
HE tonic influence of that combat
with the forces of nature which
hardens men into vigor and re-
sourcefulness is in this new
book by Stewart Edward White.
Jack Orde Is shown from the days when.
as foreman of the lumber drive, he proved
his power to govern men and matter. to
his launching as an independent power In
tn. lumber interest. He is exhibited In
his hours of success and Of failure, he
fights and as he wins his mate: when he
is duped because of an inability to foresee
dUplicity and when he discovers how to
deal with the traitor. And each step of
the way shows him more conyincingly the
mali
Orde belongs to the distinctively Ameri-
can type which. from the vantage ground
of New England principles. by way of
n1iddle-western thrift, presses forward, a
pioneer. into overwhelming fields of action.
The nervous energy Of the race drives
such men inevitably. while the inheritance
of New England principle and character
keeps them honest and instinctively in
sympathy with the best things. Mr.. White
has provided an inspiring hero to pin ones
literary faith to through many exciting
pages Sane and sound. with hard fists
and soft heart. an honest belief in men
and a stern riGor of anger when that be-
lief is betrayed; above all with an intelli-
gent knowledge of the relative value of
things Orde is an effective argument
against pessimism.

a revolt of lumber jacks would seem
