Miscellaneous Books

The Art of the Short Story" Is the
title or a little book by George w. Ger
WIZ, Ph. D., and is a study of the short
story from the standpoint of the writer
as well as the reader The author does
not claim that any one can write
snort story after reading the volume
but he does claim that reader will
have a keener understanding of Iitera-
ture and a deeper love for it, with per-
haps more intelligent desire to write
and to write well. The book will
serve as a guide and an inspiration to
individuals who seek a fuller knowl-
edge of this most fascinating form of
expression. The volume opens with a
brief historical summary of the de-
velopment of the short story and
passes at once to study of the prin-
eipal elements which mark it as a
modern product These elements are
plot. human interest. character, dra-
matte intensity and theme. To each
of these subjects chapter is given
with extracts from works of standard
writers. (Percy Publishing company

changed.

The Yardstick Man" is a modern
tale OF finance. love and mystery which
moves about a railroad deal in the
stock board Of New York. Tt is rather
overdone and is not particularly well
written, but the tale itself hangs to-
gether well and holds the interest Of
the reader throughout.
A young man, Roger Mathewson, has
been out west ever since his college
days. He was not much of a success
in college and seemed to get in wrong
with his professors and the good boys
OF the school, making his friends
among the scapegraces and the good
fellows. While out west his good quail
ities are discovered by a rich railroad
man and in return for a favor done he
adopts the young man. From that day
Roger works to prove his appreciation

When a certain crisis comes in the

Any one interested in gardens will

he can think of-here 1T is. This won
derful volume is entitled The Ameri-
can Flower Garden and is written by
that charming woman using the pseu-
donym of "Neltji Blanchan," whose
every written word shows her intense
love of nature. That this love has
study back of 1t is shown by this
thoroughly practical and beautiful
book
At this time of the year those who
have gardens are putting in bulbs and
seeds or are transplanting and dividing
roots, getting all in readiness for next
years blooming. Some of US who can
not go out of doors in winter want
advice; here it is; for the cold climate,
the warm climate, the medium cli-
mate. for all parts of the country.
There are about 100 full page illus
trations from photographs, some of
them colored They are all beautifully
taken, the composition being as care
fully planned as though the work was
to have been painted. Since most of
the book demands and receives so much
praise 1t may not be amiss to call at
tention to one defect which cheapens
it and will surely prejudice masculine
readers: "A thousand bulbs cost no
more than so cigars" says the author,
and 1t will shock any reader, for bar
ring that the style is good throughout.
All sorts of gardens are treated in
the text, the formal garden, old fash
ioned garden. naturalistie garden, wild
garden, rock garden. water garden, and
the suggestions for planting are all
sensible. Garden furniture is talked of
and the reader is sure to get many new
ideas. Planting lists by Leonard Bar
ron supplement the authors work,
thereby making the book of value to
beginners as we'll as to experienced
gardeners.

their love, not because they want it but
because they hate each other. This is
not the best training for children, and
each one shows its effects in different
ways.
Leonora grows up hating divorce
with a passionate and unreasoning
hatred. She makes no possible excuse
for it. She falls in love and discovers
that the man she loves has been

another man and the divorce was ar
ranged to allow her to marry him.
which she did. Leonora can not see
any reason in it, even so. She consid-
ers her lover a married man, and so
they part. 1t takes half the book and
much psychological study to clear the
path of obstacles. Here it is dull and
dreary reading. too. None Of the
artistic appreciation nor the clear char
acter study is shown in this half OF the
book, and one grows wearier and
wearier in the reading. With so much
good material 1t is to be regretted that
the author did so little with it.

WAS A FINE YOUNG MAN

Earl s. Miller, a roll turner, employed at the steel mill of the Tennessee Coal Iron and Railroad company. was struck yesterday and instantly killed. The acei- dent happened about 12 o'clock.
 MT. Miller had seated himself in the window of the shop and was preparing to eat lunch when. without the slightest warning, an emery wheel, used to sharpen tools burst into fragments. One of the pieces struck him on the back of the head and crushed In his skull, causing instant death The velocity of the flying piece of wheel can be imagined from the fact that 1t was running between 500 and 800 revolutions minute. No cause can be assigned for the break. but no missile ever left cannon's mouth with greater force or speed than that which caused the unfortunate young mans death. His fellow workmen ran to his assistance, but he had passed to the great beyond without ever realizing he was struck. His remains were taken to the undertaking establishment of Echols & Apgwin, where they were prepared for burial. His brother. Thomas Miller, su- perintendent of the Gulf oil Refining com pany. was summoned and his other rela- tives notified. He leaves a father and sister who live at Jasper.
 Mir Miller came to Ensey about five years ago and entered the mechanical de- partment. He was 26 years of age and unmarried. He was young man of much promise and was well liked by a large circle of acquaintances as well as by his employers. The funeral will be held this afternoon at o'clock from the undertaking parlors, the Rev. O. P. Bent ley, pastor of the Ensley Baptist church, officiating. The pallbearers are: w. F.

CT part of it's common labor and domes- tic service, to be the tillefs of it's soil and toilers in its industries and 1t is to the interest of the negro, no7 less than of the white man that he should develop the highest efficiency in these occupations. l think that this development depends largely upon industrial training-the train ing to do useful things and to do them in a superior way. Special industrial schools for the race are an aid in this develop ment. and the south needs more of such schools, rather than less But this char acter of education should not be confined to special schools. The mere common school education of the negro, which gives him no special training for work ana probably little appreciation Of the dignity of labor, may be partly responsible for the inferiority and lack of dependability or the younger members of the race, about which we hear so much. If the great mass of the race is to be elevated In the scale of economic efficiency l believe IL IS highly important that the ordinary com mon school course should be supplemehteo as far as possible by industrial eoucation and training in habits of industry ana ae- portability. l understand that 'he 'eanos ,' educational fund, founded for the im- movement of the rural negro schools or the south, in the administration Of wnieh one of the administrators of the Iuiahe university is an important factor, is now being devoted principally to the introduc- ton of industrial education in those schools.
