"YawcOb Strauss: and
Other Poems"

BY Charles FoIlen Adams. Published by Lo-
throp. Lee Shepard, Boston. Price 81.
1t was in 1878 that Charles Follen
Adams offered his first collection OF
verse under the title OF Little Yawcob
Strauss and other Poems" Ten years
later another volume followed. and
now, % years later. a book comes
which contains all in the first two thin
volumes and such other poems as have
been written since. Thousands of peo-
pie throughout the country have
known many OF the authors poems
without knowing his name. Little
Yawcob Strauss" made its author so
American dialect verses was
written by Yawcob Strauss" It will
be a pleasure to many people to have
these genuinely humorous verses col
lected in one volume. The titles Of
some Of the best known are: ITO Barry

man with the fearful cold in his head
Mine Moder in Law" Der Shpider

and Dot Long Handled Dipper" The
last named is one of the later ones by
than the others to the readers OF this
generation. Der Oak und der Vine''
is not too long TO quote and is a fair
example Of the authors style and his
quaint philosophy:

spendix, many people viii be interested
10 read what Mr.. Roosevelt thinks of
the various condensed libraries:
There is no such thing as the hun
dred best books or the best five foot
library. Mr.. Eliot's is in most respects
an excellent list, but 1t is, OF course, In
no sense list of the best books for
all people, or for all places and times.
The question is largely one Of the per-
sonal equation. Some Of the books
which Mr.. Eliot includes I would not
put in a FIVE foot library, nor yet in a
fifty foot library, and he includes vari-
Gus good books which are at least no
better than many thousands (I speak
literally which he leaves out This is
OF no consequence. so long as 1t Is
frankly conceded that any such list
must represent only the individual per-
sonal preferences"
The book is filled most generously
with illustrations from photographs
taken by Kermit Roosevelt and other
members of the party. The drawings
by Philip r. Goodwin could be omitted.
Not that they are bad but they suffer
by comparison with the splendid photo
graphs and do not seem to fit the text
The book is beautifully printed and
bound.

The frst chapter. Which is a Pro-

and characters in the tale. It de-

The story opens 25 years later. Fate

The girl has been adopted by Colonel

John Travers on the contrary IS a typi-

There are several characters OF quite
equal interest and Importance. so that
one can scarcely label any as hero or
heroine. Beatrice. the other woman. is
a cold calculating adventures. but she
is transformed into the nOblest OF

"The Science of Poetry"

By Hudson Maxim. Published By Funk Il
Wagnalls company. New York. Price 81 80.
The author says In his Introduction:
"The main object OF this book Is to
provide a practical method for literary
criticism and analysis and a standard
of uniform judgment for determining
the relative merits OF literary produc-
tions and, further. to supply a more
practical and efficient means than we
have had heretofore for the standard
ization of poetry. whereby any poem
may be assayed and the amount of it's
poetic gold determined and separated
from the Stag and dross. The
more have studied. the stronger has
grown my conviction that no other sub
ject of equal interest and Importance
to mankind has been so neglected by
science, so abandoned to the chaos of
misunderstanding. There is. indeed, no
general agreement as to what consti-
tutes poetry. 9here are as many opin-
ions as there are critics. Often the
worst poetry is pronounced the best,
and often the best the worst by some
who are considered leading authori-
ties
The book Is sure to arouse a great
deal of interest and discussion in liter
ary circles because of the daring OF
its scientific originality. 1t will give
the public a new conception Of the
manysidedness Of Mr.. Maxim's intel
lect. In scientific circles his inventive
genius has been demonstrated by the
production of smokeless powder and
high explosives which are now used by
American and foreign governments.
In writing this book he has applied
the same analytical methods Of thought
TO his subject that have won him sue
cess in the field Of invention. The book
is not to be made fun of, though that Is
the first attitude of the critic; prob
ably because il is difficult to imagine
a man-who is strictly scientific, who
has given his life to inventing high
explosives-even reading poetry, to say
nothing Of expounding ii and making a
scale by which all are to Judge it. Some
people may like the idea-poets will
not, and will find hundreds Of ways
to prove the author all wrong in his
theories. The Illustrations are super
fiuous and injure the book, which will
bear study and discussion.

"The Gang"
By Fred Brasted.

BY Fred Brasted Published by the Griffith
q Rowland Press Philadelphia. Price S1.25.
The Gang" explained in a subtitle
as tale of the middle west, is a side
light on politics shown in the form OF
a novel. The author attempts TO show
the difference between "machine" poll
tics and Organization" To obtain re-
suits organization is necessary. Quot
ing from the authors explanatory ar
gument at the end OF the book this
point is clearly stated:
An evil genius in power embodfes
the greatest danger in machine poll
ties. Too often he holds sway so com
plete and so long that the people come
to regard him as a perpetuity and even
necessity. OrSanization in
politics is right because it is a neces-
sity. Machines in politics are often
bad, but If bad it Is not because they
are machines. Bosses in politics are
often bad, but If bad 1T is not because
they are bosses There are good and
bad machines and good and bad
BOSSES ="
This book tells the tale of a small
community in the middle west DOM
mated by an unscrupulous crook A
young lawyer settles in the town and
determines to reform the affairs of the
place. The fact that he soon falls in
love with the stepdaughter of the
matters, but In the end he is victorious
in love and politics, without hurting
the feelings of anybody. Many inter-
esting sidelights on crooked political
methods are exhibited to us and the
story is fun of interest. From a lit
erary viewpoint it is not of great value,
being amateurish in style and dis
Jo1nted and rough in construction. The
author has ideas, but shows a lack OF
skill in assembling them.
Frederick Townsend Martin has Just
finished and delivered to his publishers
the manuscript of his book. The Rem
iniscences of My Life" Martins recol-
lections cover a most interesting period
OF American society. The book closes
with a description of the fancy ball

. "Oh, yes" replied the president. Il
have sent his name TO the senate, and
he will no doubt be confirmed at an
early date"
One OF the young men replied, I'VE
have not come to ask for the appoint
ment, but to solicit you to withdraw
the nomination"
"Ah," said Lincoln, that alters the
case. But on what grounds do yOu
wish the nomination withdrawn"
The answer was, "Mr Shrigley s
not sound in his theological opinions"
The president inquired, "On what
questions is the gentleman unsound?"
| "He does not believe in endless pun
tshment. Not only SO, sir, but he be
neves that even the rebels themselves
will be finally saved" was the reply.

JUDGING A CIGAR.
The Only Real Way to Find Its Quality
Is to Smoke lt-SmeIling
Il Is Useless.

On no point is the average smoker so
i'll Informed as that of judging cigar.
Nine times out of ten. upon being
handed a cigar, he will hold it to his
nose, unlighted, sniff at the wrapper
with a critical air and deliver his YER
diet in q self satisfied manner This
characteristic maneuver is always a
source of amusement to any tobacco
man who happens to observe it. There
is only one way to ascertain the quail
ity Of a cigar, and that is to smoke it.
No expert will pass judgment on a
cigar until he has lighted 1t and
smoked it well down toward the mid
die. The first and most important
point upon which he bases his opinion
is the burn" Tobacco may have ev-
cry other virtue, but II it does not hold
the fire and burn evenly 1t is poor to-
bacco. Next in order OF Importance
comes the aromatic smoke must
have q pleasing SMELL" next comes
the iavor-the smoke must be smooth
and not "scratchy" or bitter. Then
there is the color-rich brown, indicat-
ing a ripe leaf, well cured-and last is

put on smoothly and the "bunch" is
made so that the cigar draws" freely
and is neither too hard nor too spongy,
