TO the Unborn People"
BY Ellen n. H. Gates. Puhlis

By Ellen n. H. Gates Published by the
Baker Taylor company, Chicago.
This unassuming little volume Of
poems takes its name from the open
ing poem and includes a collection of
verse which appeared in The Treas
ures Of Kurium." Harpers Magazine
and elsewhere.
The author has embodied within it
the JOY OF living and the pain of Gre
alton, the gladncss and sweetness Of
life and a bit OF its misery, but through
the warp and wool OF its weaving runs
the fine unwavering thread OF a golden
optimism.
OF color there is little. Mrs. Gates
has sketched her pictures with a pen,
and black and white, her results, stand
out with all the strength OF the I'M
adorned and the beauty Of the classic
Below are two stanZas taken from her
poem, The Dark:
I am the Dark. The eye that sees
The midnight moons ana Pleiades
Must wait for me- ciai-.l the sky
To show the sHlencors swinging high
Ia space so deep aud wide and black
That thought itself comes trembling
back.
The sun may show the sea and sod,
But 1.-The far of fields Of God,
I am the Dark. The underworld.
With soundless rivers onward whirled,
Is mine alone. and mine the lakes
I dwell in caverns. vast, unknown,
Whose walls are wrought from primal
stone;
There silence. Death and can wait
Credtion's grim triumViratel
To the lover Of good verse. the wee
book viii be a welcome find. It will
bear close reading and improves on
acquaintance. The closing poem is
worthy Of quotation:
HOW WILT THOU Cos
When all thy days are done and LIES
great docr,
Which let thee in. shall open wide once
more
To let thee out; thou wanderer to and
fro,
With what equipment wilt thou rise
and gO2
wilt say farewell to earth with whim-
pering cries,
And clinging hands and backward
turning eyes?
or wilt thou pass as pleased as any
child
That fears no evil though the night is
But singing goes across the darkened
halls
With swift obedience when his father
calls?

The volume entitled New Poems by
Richard lie Gallienne contains some of
the most characteristic work by this
talented man. The book opens with
his much quoted Cry of the Little
Peoples" serious. prayerful effort,
which will live long in the memory of
the reader. The music OF the lines is
of the kind, too, not easily forgotten:
We have learned the lesson of time
and we know three things of worth;
Only to SOW and sing and reap in the
land of our birth
The book is full of dainty bits like
this sad little song:
How many friends | loved are gone,
Death delicately takes the best:
o, Death, be careful of the reSti
/ cannot spare another one
So many friends 1 loved are gone,
Where there are so many to choose
from 1t is difficult to quote. The short
poems are exquisite and ii Is scarcely
fair to quote portions of the long ones
lit mars the perfection of the whole
fine strong one is Christmas in
War Time and one in marked con-
trast is entitled Margaret" which
opens:
This is the little Margaret
That dropped from the stars,
Her face is fair as those that look
Through golden bars
Down on the earth at sunsetting.
The versatility of the poet Is notice
able throughout. His best work is in
the lighter vein and no writer OF today

field Co.. Akron. Ohio Price 800
Our strenuous ex-president has been

mond Goss has made a most interest
ing collection of the successful car
ICONS from papers and magazines all
over the world and in the course OF
time the book will have decided his
torical value.
The American cartoonists, is to be
expected, have much the best repre-
sentation. They make better likenesses
in every way, for they have all been on
the ground and could make studies OF
their subject almost first hand. At
mosphere, too, has great deal TO do
with the successful cartoon and the
artists have lived and breathed 1T. r.

clever and ingenious. The Call car

their intelligence. Some have learned
what she expects them to say after
having the books for a while, so they
laugh bit behind her back and tell
her the books have benefited them i'm
mensely. They like the little recrea-
time in the mill and she is much gratI-
fed.
Gray Stoddard is reformer of an
entirely different stamp. He is the
boss of the bosses" down at Cotton
Vile. He is mill owner himself and
is here studying conditions. People
call him "a socialist, but he does no
talking; he studies the men and women
and children under him and tries to
improve their conditions. He takes a
great interest in Johnnie from the out
set His is a mind all ready for any
seed thrown there to terminate The
growth of their interest in each other
makes a very pretty love story and
incidentally shows up the characters
tics of these rough and ignorant noun
taineers.
The story is full of interest and eX-
citement and does not contain a dull
page. The characters are all consist
emily and sharply drawn and one feels
a personal acquaintance with each and
every one at the close of the book.
Especially is this true of Johnson's
Uncle Pros" an old man, considered
lightheaded by his neighbors because
he is always searching for lost silver
mine. What result his searching brings
is developed in this new tale, one of
the best of the summer.

this she has cast aside for her country.
She wears mems clothes and is the
leader of the army, if the rough peas
ants and country folk may be called
an army. The interest centers about
these four people. We follow their
adventures personally and take small
interest in the historical value of the
story itself.
Toward the close of the book there
are some chapters, however, which it
takes a strong constitution to read
and not sicken. They tell in the most
vivid and graphic language of short
period when Nantes, the besieged city,
was in the grip of Carrier, man gone
mad with, blood and lust and power.
Ones blood runs cold with horror at
every page, but the descriptions bear
the stamp of truth and carry convic-
ton with them.
The book is decidedly worth the
reading. but one literally wades in
blood part of the time.

tremely likable and the best of COM
pany. The story is compounded after
a recipe that Mrs. Rinehart has al
ready made famous: Take one alb
sorbing mystery, add an equal guam
tity of humor to tighten, sweeten TO
taste with love, stir the whole briskIy
until it is well mixed and puffy light.
In this case she has been especially
generous and has provided two full
sized mysteries-fOr the disappearance
Of Miss Jane is just battling as that
Of the state treasurer-but as humor
has also been provided in double meas
ure and the ingredient of romance is
not scanted. the result is still happily
proportionate.
Spontaneous, irresistible humor is
Mrs. Rinehart's distinctive contribution
TO the mystery story. Hitherto it has
been supposed that the tale of mys-
terry must be deadly serious that in
order to grip ii must also be grim, but
Mrs. Rinehart has conclusively proved
that fun and thrills may be combined
in the most successful and charming
fashion. The result is new, different,
piquant
The dialogue is light, smooth and
pleasant, running on entertainingly,

is delicious, The mystery of the plot
grips the readers interest, it's humor

new story is designed for the gayety
of the nation, eXcellently framed to
take the mind off the weather, dyspep-
STA and duns. Every reader becomes
a detective on his own hook, sure that
he has the one correct solution of the
double barreled mystery. Mrs. Rine-
hart, sitting back with her quiet sub
tie smile, lets him think so. Her fun
comes in when he sits up with a Jerk

"The Financial Side
of Literature"

The greater part of the work of Rud-
yard Kipling was produced in the days
of his obscurity, when some of his
finest stories went begging at $50
apiece, and although he now commands
the highest rates, of late years he has
produced comparatively little. For the
serial rights of kim in England and
this country he received $4,000. He has
accumulated comfortable fortune.
Thomas Hardy and George Meredith
do not head the list of English fiction
money makers. Mrs. Humphrey Wards
profits have been large and constant.
Robert Elsmere" was not d money
winner, appearing before the days of
international copyright, but probably
not one of her last seven or eight
novels has returned her less than
$4,000.
A million copies of Florence Morse
kingsleys Titus" are said to have
been sold, but she received only 81 900
for the story, having written it for a
prize contest, one of the conditions
being that the winning author should
relinquish all claim to royalty.
Beatrice Harraden made no money
from her great success, Ships That
Pass in the Night" which went far
into the hundred thousands, because
in this country there was no copy
right and the English rights had been
sold outright by the author for EGO.
Dickens at his death left an estate
valued at 100000. though he was a
man of extravagant habits in money
matters. 1t is reckoned that he earned
three times that sum during the thirty
odd years of his successful literary
work.
1t is said that former President
Roosevelt received an offer from one
publishing firm of 100000 for a book
about his visit to Europe and another

UNIQUE CASE
COST BALL $I75

The suit was one of those unique
cases which now and then bob up in
the courts and was brought by w.
J. Ball against B. II. Hestor. 1t
seems that some time ago Ball
bought from Hestor a horse and q
COW. paying for the former $40 and
the latter $35, and that the horse
was guaranteed to be sound and the
COW TO give birth TO calf. The
horse he claimed was foundered and
the COW he had examined by two
veterinarians who pronounced her
not up to the guarantee, and he
turned her back TO Hestor, and then
commenced an action to get back
his money. Hestor denied that the
horse was foundered and claimed
that the COW had given birth to a
calf, and came in with counter
claim of about $50 for the caring
and keeping of the COW and calf
The jury after considering the evil
dence brought In verdict OF $175
against Ball and in favor of Hestor
80 that Ball is out his purchase mon
ey; the cow and calf is in the pos
session of Hestor. and has a judg-
ment against him for $175, and all
that he has left from the transac.
tion Is the horse which he claims
was foundered, but which the jury
evidently by their verdict regarded
MS sound.
