Rise of Lady Tree.
l the I4adv,s Pictorial

From the Ladys PlctorlaI.
 Lady Tree, upon whom congratulations are being showered no less heavily than upon her husband, Sir Herbert Beerbohm Tree, has in her time played many parts and is even more versatile than the new theatrical knight himself. For having had a brilliant career at Queens col lege, she began life as a classical tutor there; then she made reputation for herself as Miss Helen Maude, an amateur actress. Finally she achieved brilliant success as a Shakespearean actress, as a comedienne and as the female villain in in melodrama. Lady Tree is brilliant Greek scholar, one of the wittiest women speakers in England, a good musician and a skilful needlewoman, while she yields with no small skill the pencil and the brush

 It is important to emphasize the fact that Fulton himself was fully cognizant of those earlier attempts; indeed, he would have deprecated the inference that he had not duly profited by the prior ex- periments of other scientists. His gem erous mind sought for comradship in the solution of the important problem

bit of Miss Ellies marketing for breakfast.
 The information given by Miss Ellie to the district attorney of course leads to John Montgomerys arrest and trial with Ellie as the thief but now un- willing witness against him.
 This department declines to tell how the mystery Is unraveled or how a Spanish woman-cant you picture a Spanish woman in the case?--becam involved in 1t.
 It Is sufficient to say, for the reader will have already guessed that the unities demanded and secured the fall ing in love of Ellie Fenwick and John Montgomery. Twas ever thus; ever shall be novel-world without end.
 Miss Chamberlain has told a good story. It is way above the average; 1t will please most readers.
 "The Inner Shrine,' Published anony-
 mously. QIarper & Bros).
 ''The Inner Shrine has been reviewed in this department. The only excuse for running this little literary note is the fact that this reviewer has been in formed-not by the publishers, however, that the author of that delightful story is MT Basil King. This department has had so many inquiries as to the author ship this note is simply published for what it may be worth. This Herlock Sholmesing may be all wrong for that matter, but as the merits of this novel are so great it does seem such a pity to have not at first stated who the au- thor was.
 Harper & Bros, are not accustomed to such advertising feats therefore there must have been some good reason-ot which this reviewer is not aware-for withholding the authors name.
 At any rate such book as '"The Inner Shrine" is entitled to as many notes re- garding it as can be worked in Verbum sap sapienti.
 "rhe vegetable Garden" by Ida D. Ben
 nett Doubleday, Page & Co).
 This reviewer has an idea (not as q general thing, but on this specific dis cussion) that 1t may not be exactly the proper time of the year to plant vege- tables. But what difference does that make, if presented to us, we have an unusually interesting book? We can sim ply get ready for the next time-whenever that is.
 This is a popular, yet sound and sci. entific exposition of vegetable gardening, in which Miss Bennett achieves some- thing far different from the ordinary dry manual In the raising of vegetables We all must eat-that is the trouble! So, with Miss Bennett full of the most enthusiastic interest in her subject, and this interest she has the art to impart to her reader in full force, her book is well worth while
 Besides dealing fully with various veg etables that form the staple of the small garden, the book has excellent chapters on fertilizers, insecticides and garden tools; all thoroughly up-to-date and full of the most practical information.
 The headings of the 16 chapters follow. giving a fair idea of the worth of this book:
 The Sanitary and Economic Value of the Kitchen Garden: The Location of the Garden; Planning the Garden; How to Maintain Fertility; the Construction and Care of Hotbeds, Cold Frames and Pits: on the Sowing of Seeds; Transplanting; Tools Which Make Gardening Easy; on the Growing of Various Vegetables; Per ennial Vegetables; Storing Vegetables in Winter; the Gardens Enemies and Fall Work in the Garden.

 Miss Lucia Chamberlain Is a young lady of Frisco. Before the recent death of her talented sister, Miss Lucia col- laborated with the former
 She presents now book done all by herself which is all right. It involves a murder mystery, somewhat different thank goodnesS-from the conyen- tional detective story. It is more d love story than a detective story although we are furnished with thrills all right-a pretty good combination.
 "The question that must give us pause, compels us to point with alarm ' as the crossroads "Gazaboo' migh t editorially say, is like this:
 There was young chap, MT. John Montgomery, who rather wild, we learn, has to an extent suffered as the poor dog Tray. In fact John is not half as bad as he is painted. But Miss Ellie Fenwick, who tells this story in the first person, begins by informing us how very awful, Mabel. Lucy and Kate, John is.
 Miss Ellie had a habit, certainly a pardonable one, of going each morning to the market to fill up the cupboard. On her way from the market one morn ing with some mushrooms, which she had purchased for her fathers break fast, Miss Ellie is so unfortunate in passing a notorious gambling house as to be witness of the murder, as she supposed, of the proprietor by young MT. John Montgomery. The body of the murdered man is thrown into the street from the door of the gambling house, followed immediately by Mont gomery. not thrown, but on the run. John disappears. You can see the plot thicken right there to the quality of mud.
 In her fright Miss Ellie hurries home and tells what she saw to her father (waiting for the mushrooms, remem- ber), and his friend, the district attor- ney, who was also figuring on getting

 Regarding this collection of "con- fessions" which appeared serially in a magazine some time ago MT. Irwin, in 0 preface to the volume, explains that they are not fiction. MT. Irwin in forms the reader that this Is a genuine confession; that he figured in the pro- duction of 1t, simply as the trans scriber of a life story told him. q believe with every conscientious effort at truth"
 "As a reporter little skilled in dis tinguishing the truth from the lie, believed when I wrote in the sincerity of this story. Since then letters from his old companions of the road who wished to be put into communication with him again, have confirmed de- tail after detail I have disguised name or a locality here and there; otherwise I have set down only what he told me, trying through 1t all to give some flavor of the man and his vocabulary"
 From the "Confessions'' we learn how to cheat with marked cards and are introduced to the heroes of that call ing. One of them was Jim Barnes, who now owns a cattle ranch in Texas and gambles only for fun. Such finish, we are told, is exceptional among pro- fessional gamblers.

mqde goods. and the better show them the advantage afforded the trusts
 through protection. It is needless to state that his Idea stands small chance or being added to the laws of the land.
 The controversy over the trusts sell
 Ing goods cheaper abroad than at home
 has many phases. Perhaps the latest
 and most interesting contribution to
 that controversy Is the statement that
 not only are American goods sold cheaper abroad than at home, but that
 this Is likewise true of otRer principal
 countries. Senator 0aliinger stated
 not long ago that he had some corres- pondence with a Canadian establish
 ment which offered him goods of it's
 manufacture 20 per cent. cheaper than It's domestic price. Represents tive Ramon, (Ohio), declared in the House that Great Britain's export price on price to the domestic consumer was
 y31.50. He said that the German ex. port price on steel rails was t2l and her domestic price e30. In France he found the export and domestic price
 ss1 and S24 respectively. He said that
 without exception the domestic price
 of steel rails In other countries was greater than in the United States. He took 1t that what was true of steel ioAiS WeS oA0o tAe~ VI osASh SOAnaAasA- ities.
 John D. Rockefeller, Jr., has a new theory about the trusts and the tariff He justifies their methods by saying: ..The American Beauty rose can DC
 produced in it's splendor and fragrance only by sacrificing the early buds which grow up around it." Mir. Rocke-
 feIler applied that view to the trust question and finds in 1t ample excuse
 for the survival of the Attest" as ex-
 emplifed by the Standard oil.
 It is interesting to note that with the sole exception of few men like Havemeyer, Carnegie and Schwab. the trust magnates declare that except in-
 solar as protection Is the basis fo prosperity, 1t has nothing whatever to
 do with the formation of trusts. They admit that under prosperous conditions
 competition becomes so fierce that pro-
 ducers combine to raise prices to liv- ing level. knowing that the tarif du-
 ties will permit them to do so. Many of the trust officials have now come to
 the point where they declare that they can stand without any protection what ever, but in the next breath they de-
 clare that the smaller producers can-
 not. unaided, compete with the for eigner. Someone has answered this by remarking that if the small pro-
 ducer can compete with the trust. and
 the trust can compete with the for eigner, on the principle that things equal to the same thing are equal to each other, the small producer could compete with the foreign producer. | Copyright, 1909. by. Frederic J.. Haskin. Tomorrow--Amerfcan Tariff Lawss xXV--Tarifrs of Principal Nations.

DANIEL, THE D0ER OF
 GODS COMMANDMENTS

Daniel, the Idoer of Gods com mandments," was the subject chosen by Rev. E. E. Cobbs, of St. Johns Church. for his address yesterday at the monday Lenten services at tho Majestic Theatre.
 Rev. Mr. Cobbs compared the life of Daniel with the life of man today for just as Daniel, looking out into the world saw his duty and responsibility, which God intended him to perform. so the life of man today is work to be done, duty and responsibility. To some men life comes as problem to be solved. so the great world of God is problem of life, work and a duty.
 The speaker further illustrated how life for some was work, which was not work. but slavery. From their environments of life and their cir- cumstances some men have become simply machines in this age and pro- gress of the world. Some little chiI- dren, from their circumstances Iand inheritances know nothing of the joy and love and beauty of the world, for 1t has been merely work for them, from the very moment of their com- ing into the world. Again some men have to work for the mere necessities of life. but nevertheless life comes to every man hS ~ WI n ~ oo N0ho'
 Rev. MT. Cobbs showed how work purifies and sweetens life and while man Is working and doing his duty his heart and mind Is open to perceive the higher truth, which Is what God meant when he said, ITO aim that willeth to do the will of God ye shell know the doctrine" Man who does not do his duty. has no right to com plain that the ways of life and God are dark to him.
 Concluding the speaker said: Tt is as we do our duty and obey the will and mmandants of God that we come into Gods understanding. Man may ouesion God, immortality, the life beyond the grave. yet man must to, his duty, for along the pathway of duty the light shall fall at last to all and man who does his duty. shall ultimately know the truth of God"
