Real Enjoyment
In Kings in Exile -

Instead Of asking: "TVhy is a nature
faker?" one might well ask why not
a nature faker2" after reading Kings
in Exile" by Charles c.. D. Roberts.
True, Mr.. Roberts may deny that his de-
lightful tales Ol lords Of the forest,
mountain, and deep, who have become
the captivps Of man. are not fakes at all
merely slightly embellished accounts OF
real incidents.
With a fine sympathy for his friends
Of the Wild Mr.. Roberts has In some
places departed from words Of one syl-
liable and given q touching conception
OF the state OF mind Of the free rOvers
he has known This indeed is hercSy.
for who can read an animal mind, and
II he attempts 10 WOrd-p1lnt that mind,
is he not dcCCiVi1E che great American
public and possibly telling untTUths TO
the rising generation But Il IS mighty
good reading and warns the heart to-
ward the dumb creatures.
The tale Of THE Bears Face which
tells how a trapper was "hOled" on the
side Of a mountain by a persistent
grizzly on one side and a rattlesnake on
the Other, was not impossible. Nayhap
there was no Jim HOrner. and very like
y he did not tumble into a bald eagles
nest where he SuhsiSted by uurlOiniug
eaClets. but whoever reads this hetero-
dOKiCaI account Of the subsequent feel

The Sun Gazer. when both were

Ciate the subtle reEret which many
thousands OF spectators have expert
enced when they have first seen the

dreary, dreary longing for freedom in
the eyes and movements Of the pris-

Many Of the delegates who spoke on

More discussion was aroused when a
resolution was introduced inIorsing the
bill introduced in the House Of Repre-

The convention was unanimous In its
final vote on the resolution. although
the details evoked considerable debate.
Some Of the members at first opposed
the provision relating 10 numerical

A r solution Of regret was passed for

Nothing Strong
In Askew's New Book.

In ''The Tempting OF Paul Chester"
Alice and Claude Askew have united
in giving the book lovers a most un-
satisfactory and tiresome story. The
determined reader who works on
through the pages TO the end fails to
find any reward for the sacrifice Of time
given the book.
Paul Chester, an aspiring climber who
wants to be one Of the big men Of
England, only escapes his temptations
BY timely Interruptions and instead OF
standing out as a modern St Anthony
looks at all times a ContemptibIe cad
not ali unwilling TO shield himself be-
hind the skirts Of his loving wife and
generous friends.
1t Is one OF the frayed and OverWorked
plots OF the wife Of the great political
leader taking a fancy 10 what the
authors would have the readers believe
q great man Of strong character Then
this favored one IN the same old way
begins TO neglect his wife and a nirta-
tiOn with the wife OF the great man IS
started.
That Paul Chester escapes the vyiIes
OF the lady rs not due 20 any strong
character, but TO watchfuI friends and
tnen fomeS the usual quarrel between
the LADY and the man she has he5ped
to make a figure in the political world
The lady, the wife Of the duke, is
present a. her favorite's successful hour
Gno then makes her way 10 his home IN
congratulate him. Here she fOrgetS her
self and declares her great love for
him and then he points out that he must
think Of her husband and his wife and
rejects her advances. She accuses him
OF merely using her to aid him in his
climb and the reader is compelled to
believe with the lady that the state
ment Is true
Then the lady determines to wreck
him. and, going TO her husband, she
tells the duke thar Chester tried 10
make love 30 her and attempted to kiss
her. Then the duke 0iCs into a rage and
proceeds TO wreck the career OF the
modern Joseph. Chester is preparing TO
leave the country when his wife comes
10 the rescue. She can do little but lend
her moral support, but a sister-in-law
snC a former and rejected admirer Of
the duchess happened 10 have over
heard her declaration Of love for 'Ches-
ter and the Sistcr-in-iaw tells the duke.
Thtn the duchess is banished and the
book leaves her ont on tho sandy desert
with guard of Arabs.
TIE duke apologies to Chester and
everything IS happy. The story ends
w.tnout telling what becomes Of Ches-
ter. but judging from the views Of him
seen IN ;he story he without doubt be-
came a thoroughly up-tO-date politician
OF the modern school. for the authors
give him all the earmarks OF one.

- HE publication Of DR.. Henry Van
Dykes lectures before the Sor-
borne. under the title Of "The
Spirit Of America" should do
much to offset the effort or those
pisanthropic pubIcists who begin
their exposition Of national ideals with
the clay feet thereof and make painful
progress upward. destroying the value
OF their work by the stains OF clay
they leave on everything they touch. In
the mire of practical politics, Of COM
mercial piracy and OF literary muck
raking, IL is well 20 have some solid
ground upon which to stand and reckon
the chance Of draining of the bilious
slop that the root Of real Americanism,
still there under the muck. though more
or less dormant. may branch forth and
bloom.
The spirit Of America, as Dr.. Van
Dyke views II, is the spirit OF hope.

spirit of progress and amity. It is
spirit that has given mankind Chris

with all of the Princeton saRe's work.
there IS nothing that IS Preachy or peda-
g0gic about the lectuTes-that Is, peda-
gogic in the popular definition of the

IN this series Of lectures. The simplicity
Of the language. the lofty sentiments
expressed, and the careful preparation
Of the text are only the outward mani
festatiOns Of worth apparent to the
reader from the very first page.
An Optimist, DR. Van Dyke has long
been recognized as a member OF that
far too small school of thinkers who

The essentially difficult choice Of short
stories which the editors OF the Great

based upon these principles: that the
short story must be complete in itself
that il is short because il cannot be

is The ApparitiOn of Mrs Veal" an
