Many readers and many
critics say that Hamlin Garland
never wrote anything better
than "NIain- Travelled Roads, -
TO which book "Other Mzin-
Travelled Roads" is designed
as a companion volume. This
is not collection of new stories,
but a grouping together of those
stories, several not before pub
lished, which were written at
the same time and under the
same impulse. These stories
did more than anything else to
make Hamlin Garland the prime
literary historian Of Americas

N1 ROOK9 W


By Katherine Cecil Thurston.
There are some stories one
can't tell about-it wouldn't be
fair. "MIaN" is like rhat-the
plot is so new, so fresh, so UNI
touched, and the mystery of it
has such alluring charm that
one feels like an eavesdroppcr
in even limiting at the strange
and delightful vistas the un-
folding of the story brings.
There is, however, one thing
it seems right To teIl-the story
is tale OF an unusual person
ality, just as "The Nlasque-
raider" was. You remember
how "The Nlasquerader" held
you, the varied delight Of it
all? Well, "Max" is like that,
only more so.

BY Sir Gilbert Parker.

This new book by Gilbert
Parker is a collection Of short
stories mostly set in the islands
Of the South Sea under British
dominion. They have the in
describable atmosphere of a
tropic land and the broad spirit
Of humanity that is born when
ever the savage and the civilized
are found living their lives side
by side. Many Of them are
love stories, with the unusual
motives and setting of the
tropics, and all are character
istic Parker stories.

Had a Pleasant Outing.
Souarina the Circle.

The origin of the problem squaring the circle is almost lost in the mists of antiquity. but there is a record of an attempted quadrature in Egypt 500 years before the exodus of the. Jews. There is also a claim, according to Hone, that the problem was solved by a discovery of Hipprocates. the geom- etrician of Chios-not the physician 500 B. O. Now, the efforts of Hlppoc- rates were devoted toward converting a circle into crescent, because he had found that the area of a figure pro- duced by drawing two perpendicular radn in circle is exactly equal to the triangle formed by the line of june ton. This is the famous theorem of the '1unes of Hippocrates" and is, like glauber's salts out of the philosophers stone, an example of the useful results which sometimes follow a search for the unattaipable.

dency to create riots between the black and white race in various parts of the country, until life itself has been serl- ously threatened and in several instances death may follow the result of some of these assaults.
 It has unclaimed brute passions and brought prominently to the front some of the worst clements of humanity. It catered to the basest and most degraded impulses, and not single thing can be found in the whole category of the great fight, to appeal to the higher instincts or the best that is in humanity. It's whole tendency has been to lower, and brutalize and disgust.
 Search it to it's most minute depths and you can't bring forward single point that tends to elevate, or up build, or better human conditions.
 It is the old Roman arena, over again where brute passion predominates and cruelty influence the lives and acts of spectators and principals alike,
 It is we'll that laws have been enacted which will make the future of such alleged sport practically impossible This country can get along without the brutalities of the prize ring and the less ons of degeneracy it teaches.

FAITHFUL SPECTACLE

The civilized world has been on edge for months past to know whether the white race or the black was superior in the arena of pugilism and with the ter mination of the fight at Reno, Nevada, July. 4th with Johnson the victor and Jim Jefferies as good as knocked out, the question of supremacy is now sup posed to be settled and the negro takes his place ill the history of the prize ring as the superior of all others in the realm of pugiIism.
 Thousands of dollars have been lost and won on the battle, and the news papers, as matter of news, pure and simple, have published columns upon columns on the big fight. But what a disgusting thing it is, when you come to look at the matter in the light of clear common sense, to see great nation wrought up to fever heat over a deter imitation of the ability of one man tc pound another.
 And worse than all, it has had ten

The Rrahman FunsraI Pyrs.

After the body of a Brahman has been anointed with sesamum oil the two toes are bound together and the two thumbs. It is then dashed to litter made of two long parallel poles, to which are fastened seven transverse pieces of wood. The shroud is very simple, a large piece of cloth wrapped round the body and bound with ropes of straw. If the dead Brahman leaves a will his face is not covered; other wise the shroudjs brought up over the head The burning ground. or ghat, is usually near a river. that those who have taken part in the ceremonies may purify themselves as quickly and as easily as possible. Before erecting the funeral pyre a shallow pit is dug and partially filled with dry wood; the body is covered with splinters of dry wood and sprinkled with panchagaria, an inflammable liquid, and placed on the pyre and covered with branches and roots, like hut The nearest relative or heir then takes a lighted taper and sets fire to. the four corners of the pile and leaves at once to perform the cere- mony of purification. The carriers, be- ing of the lowest caste, remain until the body is entirely consumed.

ITS RECORD IS MADE.

It has come and gone. The great and glorious Fourth is now thing of the past. Its record has been inscribed on the pages of history to be handed down to generations yet to come.
 It has been with us with it's noise and it's enthusiasm; it's pleasures and its cares. it's fun and its woe. Through coming years. some will date their crippled con- dition from the happenings of that day.
 There are households upon which the hand of affiiction heavily rests while others have escaped without a scar.
 It has been a day of lessons to some, while to others it has record of only the common place. How many, do you think really thought of or cared for the great underlying principle which the day commemorated? You may count them on the fingers of your hand The real significance of the Fourth is lost. It is doubtful if it ever returns. The whirl of life's busy age is sweeping us along in channels that are new and oft times strange, and just where they lead or what lies in the path remains for the future to prove and for time to reveal.
