RESOLUTION.


chsngelsss resolution IS necessary in al rrepara-
tion- This is merely a matter Of sticking 70 pur-
pose.-Ifank Chznning Haddock.
Occasionally in the street car one Will
see face that will stamp itself upon
ones mental vision with unusual force
because Of its resoIute look. It was my
good fortune to see such a face yester-
day, and the friend who happened to be
with me knew the man and introduced
him to me. The broad forehead. clear
cut features, firm chin. all gave witness
to the strong, forceful soul looking forth
at us through the clear, steady, search
ing eyes. Ny friend explained to me that
this man was a well-known and success
ful business man here in Washington,
employing a large number OF men; that
he was a fearless thinker. a socialist. and
a believer in the single-tax movement
and doing fine work along these lines.
After leaving the car my mind dweIt
gratefully on that face. How refreshing
TO see in so young an individual such
battery OF force and strength! He was
not thinking merely of his own happi-
ness; he was not doing merely his days
work and idly drifting along life's way
after Office hours were over. He had
ideals of economic justice affecting the
general welfare and was working toward
their fulfilment. lie was not thinking
of the impression he made on this one or
on that one of whether praise or blame
was his share, but with all a strong
mans strong will was bending every
energy to achievement which would help
others have better conditions under
which TO live. II Is such men as these
whom women may safely harry. A man
who will work for the practical better
ment Of the conditions under which his
fellow-men labor will make a good hus-
band. He will desire to own his home

night The first part Of the evenings en-
tertainment consisted IN an interesting
lecture by William L. K. Barrett on THE
Panama Canal at close range.
Mr.. Barrett said President Taft is cor

pleted In 1915 and asserted the death rate
at Panama at the present time is less
than that Of Baltimore. Philadelphia. or
New York. and possibly even Washing
ton, which reflects great credit on the
administration. considering that the
Canal Zone IS ten miles in width and
forty-seven miles in length.
Since the transfer by the French gov
eminent of its property TO the United
States, American engineers have built
and equipped a modern railroad, running
six trains daily between Panama and
Colon, The main line OF the railroad is
only forty-seven miles in length. but they
have built COO miles OF spur tracks to

Adelaide Harbers, which was followed by
a soprano solo by Mrs. c. w SMELL.

"PASSERS BY"
A London story of Adventure of the

Lonoon story OF Adventure of the

A girl, q hunchbaek with his monkey
and street piano. the Marquis Of Filing

with many intrigues. prison breakings,
and 100000 francs, are the principal in

book he has laid the scene in London
the London beloved of writer's Of conspir-
acy and mystery-and his story of the
attempts of the marquis to elude the
shadows of his past fife that keep crop
ping up before him. is not particularly
off the beaten path. Oppenheim has
given us a good many of these sort OF
stories but IT must be confessed that
the author of the present work has
caught the knack of getting the read
ers attention at the beginning of the
book and holding it until the last.
The Marquis of EIlingham has, in his
youth, sown more than his share of wild
oats, and the story is wound around the
attempts of his accOmplfces in the old
days to bring him to trial for his mis-
consequences. To tell in what particu-
lar way he -sowed his oats would be to
rob the book OF one of its chief claims
to public favor-its mystery. Suffice it
to say that he was the leader of a sort
of band of Apaches in Paris and escaped
from them by a piece of strategy. which

The hunchback and the girl-of course

story of adventure, or story of anything
else for that matter, ever has any sue
cess without a beautiful heroine-are
concerned in the escape of the marquis
and they figure largely in the working
out of the story.
Besides the main theme OF the discov-
cry of the marquis past and partie-

THE UP GRADE"

Story OF Regeneration, by VIII
der Goodwin.
Little, Brown & Co, of Boston, have
just issued The Up Grade" by Wilder
Goodwin, a novel Of regeneration. There
is a marked simplicity about this tale.
There are no heroics or endeavors TO
wiring out sympathetic tears There are
no excuses offered for stephen Loring,
who works out his own salvation. Lor-
ing is first introduced 10 the reader IN
the gutter, In an Arizona mining town.
He has been high roller and a gentle
man IN the East but has sunk TO a state
OF besottedness from lack OF ambition
or staying powers.
He becomes laborer at mining
camp, and from the date of his acquaint-
ance with Jean Cameron. the daughter
OF the rich mine owner, begins the re-
generation. The process Is simple, far
more simple in this novel than would
the same struggle on the up grade in
real life, for it is aided by deeds of
force, and the development of unsuspect-
ed traits of character. There is not the
slightest doubt from the beginning as
TO the outcome OF the story, and the final
chapter sees Jean and Loring happily
united, the latter having pulled up the
grade, with the aid of the various phi
lanthropie and opportune characters and
Incidents. Being full Of action. it is q
readable story, in spite OF its naivete.
"Spices and How TO Know Them"
Spices and How to Grow Them" is a
book written by W NJ. Gibbs. published
by the author. and for sale by him at
Dunkirk, n Y.
The author has with great industry got
ten together the material for this book,
and now publishes the result OF fifteen
years research into a subject that is not
only of interest to the importers and mer-
chants who deal IN spices, but to the en-
tire eating public
The first chapter Is a short sketch of
the early history Of spices: the second
deals at some length with the adultera-
ton OF spices and how the same may be
detected
The following spices are taken up IN de-
tail, viz: Pepper-black. white, long. and
cayenne - allspice, cinnamon and cassia.
cloves. ginger. nutmegS. mace and mus
tard-their history given. a description of
the environment in which they are grown,
their relative Importance and chemical
composition.
The chapters on pepper and cinnamon
are especially interesting, and the illus
tratiOns accompanying them particularly
fine. These, together with the chapters
on ginger and mustard. will doubtless be
most read by the general public. The
book ends with a short chapter on herbs.
To go much into detail in short re-
view of such a book is impossible, but
Spices and How to Know Them should
be in every cooks library and should be
thoroughly studied by every handler of
spices.
The book contains 179 pages Of text and
about 80 authentic pictures OF the eoun-
tries where the spices grow and an equal
number OF microscopic slides and IA
colored plates Of spice trees and shrubs.
These last are of great delicacy and
beauty and were obtained at much ex-
pense, the originals having been painted
by artists direct from nature in the spice

The authors. who have heretofore
largely confined themselves to painting
pictures Of refined life. and whose char-
aeters for the most part have moved
in an atmosphere OF culture, money. and
brains. have gone so far as to attempt
the portraits OF some American types,
dipping down pretty deeply below the
scum OF New York life. The marquis.
who comes TO America in search OF an
heiress. a quest which he makes per-
fectly obvious TO his quarry, shares the
general indefniteness of the other per-
sons. He is mistaken at the Waldorf
Astoria, for his own valet. who has alb
seconded. and the suspicion is height
ened by the discovery that the vanish
ing servant has substituted HIS own
wardrobe for the marquiss luggage.
Money is refused him on hts letter Of
credit, and he is forced to leave his few
belongings at the hotel in payment for
his bill
A stranger in a strange land, without a
copper in his pocket, he tries to make a
living. The evening clothes he wears are
his only asset, and they serve TO get
him a place as waiter in q Iow-grade
restaurant. He learns many things about
life, however, that he has not even
suspected before. and comes through
the fire Of experience a cbastened. n not
an ambitious man. He finds his rich girl
at the end. not an heiress. but something
equally as good, for she is a successful
author. making thousands OF dollars
from royalties. That he should be con-
tent to let This lady support him and
his ancestral homes does not appear 10
be out of keeping with the original char
acter of the marquis. as il seems his
working experiences were quite enough
to satisfy him for the rest OF his life
time
In spite of effort to make the leading
character strong. he is nevertheless al
lowed to sink back at the end to a sort
of luxurious desuetude, with a SEEM
ingly endless vista of his wife's royalties
stretching out for the future
The types are for the most part over
drawn. especially that of the newspaper
reporter, Tony Kidd, who satisfies his
own yindietiveness through the medium
of his paper. He is the one man whose
head Lord Loveland should have punch
