TALES OF THE RED-BLoopED.

Tho Red-Blooded, BY Edgar Beechcr
Bronson. With Many Illustrations. Pub
lshed by a. G. McClure s, Co., Chicago
This story of the red blooded. by Mr.
Bronson, is devoted to a considerable
extent to scenes, incidents, and descrip-
tions Of life on the range in the cattle
country of the United States, but it
does not contine itself to that. We
have here the red-blooded of various
lands and of many peoples. That is, the
fighting men, the men Of action, the
men who take desperate chances and
who do things to admire in virilc des-
perntion. The stories that start on the
Tnngcs Of America shift to the bull
fights in Mexico and to pcrilous adven-
lures in many lands, closing with u fine
account of some wondrous and magnif-
cent things done in Abyssinia. 1t might
fairly he styled hair raising book, and
yet all is veracious and all the more ad-
mirable therefor. Mr.. Bronson is great
master in the writing of matter like

WHY NOT RAISE RATES?

Confidence or National Suicide? BY
Arthur Edward Stllwell Third Edi
ton. The Bankers Publishing Com
pany. New York
Tho author of this work has a good
deal to say about economies, the finan-
cial situation, prices, etc, applying his
researches and his arguments from the
material which he gathers, specifically
TO the point that the railroads ought to
be allowed to increase their rates. As
usual with writer's who come to this
conclusion from the given facts, he
loses sight of the great point that the
same facts, the same arguments, and
the same conclusions could also be
urged in favor of raising prices on any
article whatever. The tendencies Of
the time arc for higher prices all along
the line. There is nothing peculiar to
the showing that railroads need to raise
their rates Every dealer or public
service needs TO be better paid. But
after the prices have been raised all
along the line, no one is any better off
than before, and the wage earners at a
fixed salary or compensation are the
mass Of sufferers by the process in the
long run, and all around. So that any
book, pamphlet, or article using the eyi-
dent facts and arguments in any one
direction must concedc that what ne has
written applies equally in any other
direction. and nothing is TO be gained
comparatively by giving effect to the
pleas as made. And after everything is
raised, all along the line. how much bet.
ter off will any interest be?

The writer of it was q regularly en-
listed man in the Eleventh Massach hui

IN his capacity Of spy, and in order to
DO the most effective work he enlisted
in a Confederate regiment, and finally
deserted in the nick of time to bring
the critical message to General Meade
Of the movements of Lees invading

make the best of reading, and we do
not know of any book that we have en-
ioyed so much for long time 1t is
written with sufficient skill and art for
