1.-THE HUT" OF A MILLIONAIRE.
Adrondacks Lodge That Is Supplied
 With Every Luxury of Civilization. .

The rich opening chords of hymn to the Day-god of Japan rolled in on me in that bittersweet time when one is about to wake. My struggling senses argued that I must be in fairyland, although calmer reason told me better, says Grace Gallatin Seton in The Delineator for Au- gust. I had to arouse myself, dress, and make turn of the house before became fully convinced that I was in a camping cabin in the Adirondacks instead of in a home on Riverside Drive.
 The music was coming from Welte- mignon organ in a large room in which Navajo blankets covered the couches and on whose grained wood walls hung rare Japanese prints. In the room were precious bits of porcelain, helmet pitch ers satsuma, cloisonne or English luster; around the walls, bookcases containing rare volumes; on the center table, a lamp of beaten bronze. A house with a billiard table, four club rooms and a lowing Japanese servant would scarcely let me believe that I was ten miles from a railroad and on top of mountain in

MAKE ME NEITHER
 POOR OR WEALTHY

An editorial by Theordore Roosevelt. in
 The Outlook
 In one of Lowelrs biting satires he holds up to special scorn the snug, con- scienceless creature who refuses to con- slider the morality of any question of social ethics by remarkng that they didn't know everything down in Judee." It is to be wished that some of those who preach and practice a gospel of mere materialsm and greed, and who speak as if the heaping up of wealth by the community or by the individual was in it. self the be-all and end-all in life, would learn from the most widely read and oldest of books that true wisdom which teaches that it is well to have neither great poverty nor great riches. Worst of all is 1t to have great poverty and great riches side by side in constant Contrast. Nevertheless, even this contrast can be riches are accumulated as the result of great service rendered to the people as a whole, and if their use is regulated in the interest of the whole community.
 The movement which has become so strong during the past few years to cure on behalf of the nation both an adequate supervision of and an effective taxation of vast fortunes, so far as their business use Is concerned, Is a healthy movement. It aims to replace sullen dis content, restless pessimism and evil pre- paration for revolution, by an aggressive, healthy determination to get to the bot tom of our troubles and remedy them. To halt in the movement as those blinded xxyich x1bp cpr onU fOr the I'm mad a a relief from all obstacles which would thwart their getting what is not theirs, would work wide-reaching damage. Such halt would turn away the energies of the energetic and forceful men who de- sire to reform matters from a legitimate object into the channel of bitter and destructive agitation. The reader of Prince Kropotkin's Memoirs must be struck by the damage wrought to Rus 'sa by the unwise opponents of all reform, who, by opposing every sensible movement for betterment turned the energies of the young men, who, under happier condf- tions, would have worked for rational betterment into the channels of a useless and destructive revolutionary movement.
 The multi millionaire Is not per 0. healthy development in this country. If his fortune rests on a basis of wrong doing. he is a far more dangerous crim- inal than any of the ordinary types of criminals can possibly be. If his fortune is the result of great service rendered, well and good he deserves respect and reward for such service-although we must remember to pay our homage to the service itself and not to the fortune which is the mere reward of the service; but when his fortune is passed on to some one else, who has not rendered the service, then the nation should impose d heavily graded progressive inheritance tax a singularly wise and unobjectionable kind of tax It would be a particularly good thing if the tax bore heaviest on absentees.

 Apropos of Lord Northcote's name being mentioned as a probable successor to Earl Grey in Canada, his lordship was once made curious use of while governor general of Australia.

Even then I knew 1t was generating electricity for my own fairyland, which had such & substantial name as "The Hut" Turn ing away from the window I dressed, and in 20 minutes motor was whirling me over hard road through the dewy fresh ness of early morning to breakfast at fashionable inn 30 miles away.
 Over the mantlepiece of "The Hut" was a carved motto: "Let us finger here in the beautiful foolshness of things"
 It would not take much persuasion to get one to finger at ''The Hut" or. for tat matter, at any of the better camps in the Catskills or Adirondacks. If the wilds were not without the door. and were not the roar of the elevated and the hum of the street gone, one could well imagine that one were living In an apartment overlooking Central Park.

 Where is she?''
 "In service here.'
 An, then, I am right. Here is a saul sage from your sweetheart, and she wishes me to tell you that she cannot come out tonight. as her master has company" Seeing that the man looked nervous, he added. kindly: "She also gave me kiss for you; but perhaps you would rather walt until you see her.

Heather" By John Trevena. (Moffat,
 Yard & Co.)
 Occasionally, not often, more's the pity, reviewer will, in the reading of a worthy book say to himself in effect: What a delight 1t will be to tell readers, who wish the good things in literature, of this volume
 Then when the time comes to review the book after reading 1t, as in the case Of Heather" the reviewer Is simply over whelmed with his impotence, his lack of ability to properly impress upon the reader the real delight in such book. This book Heather" is the second volume of the triology which began with 'Furze, the Cruel" which was reviewed and cor rectly praised, so far as lay in the re- viewers power, in this department.
 MT. Trevena tells that Heather forms the second volume of a moorland triology, the first of which, dealing with Ftlrze as representing the spirit of Cruelty, has been published. Heather" which fiourishes only in pure air ana sun shine and blossoms again though 1t Is torn by the winds, seems to represent the spirit of endurance. That the author hopes to complete his work with another volume called Granite" as representing the spirit of strength.
 Take this reviewers word for it: Get any DOCK Wucn mas MT Jonn ITeVena name tied to 1t!
 It is simply impossible to give the reader even a suggestion of the worth of Heath err in a newspaper, or any other kind of a review.
 Permit this department to quote what Mir. Lewis Melville a distinguished writer himself. said of Heather" when it ap- peared in England:
 Let 1t be said without further preamble that Heather is the best book the au- thor has written and that, if he never improves uponsthis work, he will yet have made name for himself Brains, poetry and art and passion have gone to its making. It is a very remarkable and very mature work. I advise all who love good literature to read Heather. '"-London Daily Chronicle.
 Heather Is simply delight-that Is all there Is to 1t. It is long book, but you will regret when the last page comes to your turning fingers. Can one say any more? Prithee not!

True Detective Stories." by A. L. Drum
 mond, former chief United States secret
 service co. W. Dillingham; Co.)
 There are F detective stories, all said to be true, in this book which range from the banks of the Red river in the days Immediately following the Civil war to Broadway, as 1t is today
 "Three Women and 8 Man." the title of the seventeenth story in this collec- tion is possibly the winner of the lot They are all interesting and as MT. Drum mond passes before us in a sort or review tho biggest brainiest criminals of almost half a century-both men and women-in ''true stories''-what more can one expect than a real thriller
 This Is one, to-wit thriller. For al- most 70 years we are informed Mir. Drum mond was engaged in the business of running down criminals. After holding subordinate positions in the federal gov ernment's secret service he became chief or that department, resigning therefrom in 1894
 Many of the stories are about coun- terfeitsrs Tn the days following the Civil war the biggest, brainiest criminals in this country were engaged in the making of spurious money and bonds We learn that those criminals were crafty. re- sourceful, daring men, some of whom did not hesitate to attempt murder when they felt the halter of the law tighten ing about them.
