 Boston, which is the center of the district where the demand for new money is keenest
 ~The demand for new paper currency is very much greater now than the appro- rriation from Congress allows to be fully met" said MT, McClung yesterday at the .Valdorf. I've are irving to see if it would mot be possible to cut down redemptions or in some way limit the demand for new currency The demand is particularly for bills of small denomination, ones, twos and fives.
 .'The increase in the population of the country, the activity of general business and tendency of the people to require bills of small denominations, and not san- itary ideas, seem to be responsible for the demand for mew paper money As for the claim sometimes advanced that old money is dangerous to handle, it is worthy of mention that during the 8 years of the existence of the redemption department Of the treasury not single ease has been known there of the transmisson of disease in this way, though hundreds of employees handle millions of dollars of old money every day.
 tThe life of a sl bill nowadays averages a little over one year. The average life of bills of all denominations is about three years. Of course in connection with this it must be remembcred that great deal of money is held4in tho banks in re- serve. When 1t is actively in circulation a bill is apt to come back within few months or even in less time. In Boston yesterday I noticed a note presented for redemption which left the treasury only tbree weeks ago"

"Well, the mining districts are 2 terror in that respect especially those of Pon1- sylvania, West Virginia and Indiana. riD extreme south is had in this respect also The New England district seems to be more particular about getting new money | tiian any other section of the country.

,IrNNFE GERHARDT.

sfJENNlE GERHARDI+
 By Theodore Dreiser Harper ans Brothers.
 There will no doubt be many people, sura in their own confidence of following the straight and narrow path who Will sternlv declare that MT. Theodore Drels- or ehould never have written "Jennle Gerhardt.'
 We do not argue that point. rrbe. bool< may not even point d moral for. Mr. Dreiser has had no regard Tor morals or immorals, but has written rlain. Straightforward book of life, Wleh no straining of probabilities, nor hyS- 4orics no enforced calls on the law Of coincidence. ,z
 The story is not sensational-even MT. p,eiser,s worst enemies could not accuse him of that-but it is dramatic and toln- nelline in it's force-a study in realism CT the severest type.
 MT. Dreiser in his clever novel of ten wears ago, Sister Carrie attracted at- tention at once from small number or literary critics and lovers of serious fic- tion-but somehow the book as 'hest seller" was practically still born-an 'n- yivable .success d'estime.'
 Put .,.Iennie Gerhardt' bids to be more. ve it's not ''the great American novel we have been waiting patiently For all these years, it comes perilously near lo being.
 The author is a firm determinist; life to him is a matter of blind chance. lie Is a follower one might say, of the Ger man school of modern novelists, of which Herman Sudermann is the leader.
 There is tinge of Hardy-of George Moore and Zoa-in MT. Dreiser's picture of realism--"the pessimism of disillusion. as it were-that permeates this brand of literature making readable matter whicl is tense and virie in it's conception.
 It is a-case of f"casting the first stone, ' to sit in judgment upon Jennie-a wom- an whoocraved and longed for affection She becomes the mother of one mans chi,d-the companion of another mans de liant years.

She is never a wife by the right of the ring and the book.
 Yet there is none who could call her "Light-O Love- for loyalty is her na- ture. and it is impossible to picture her as falling to the depths.
 All that she has longed for of love of somebody to care for her-of affection of tenderness-she pays the full price for nall the measure that is hers-this ten der. gentle woman, whose case, to the student of evolution, shows plainly that the fittest who survive are not always the most worthy.

 Misfortune seems synonymous with the Gerhardts, for trouble quickly follows on the heels of trouble in their modest house. hold.
 The story moves along until we find Jennie's mother reduced to the position of scrub woman in a big hotel, where the girl helps her.

JANE DAWSON


 CRy Will N. Harben. Harper X Bros)
 If therc is one theme which is of more interest in fiction than love, it is religion.
 A lending of these two makes a most readable subject. which has been handled with rare perception and striking individ- uality by Will N. Harben, in his novel, 'jane Dawson," story Of Southern life.
 Jane Dawson has illegitmate son. George The credulty of the reader who is familiar with the "goings on" in q snla; community is somewhat taxed by the matter of the identity of Georges father, for while the erring sister is not spared. the errng brother rarely enjoys concealment either.

THE NINE-TENTHs.

By James Oppenhein,. Harper Broth CTS
 MT. James Oppenheim certainly has the faculty in full of writing about the struggling, hard working people Of big cities.
 His fine short stories. with which magazine readers are already familiar along these lines, have given him most enviable place in the book world stories, which, although filled with suffering and sorrow. have often a saving spirit of optimism that sees in the distance a hope of social regen- eration.
 "The Nine-Tenths" is story dealing with the working girl of the city.
 The theme is not so much With the individual girl who fails, nor with the social dangers that beset her, the under paid, overworked type; but it is with the larger and more, inclusive problem of the economic relation of both capi- tai and labor to the case of the wage earning girl.
 There is a printing establishment around which the story clusters, and Joe Blaine is the central figure. He is an average American, good natured and happy, allowing his men a

 STATESMAN OF THE OLD SOUTH;
 OR FROM RADICALISM TO CON
 SENTATIVE REVOLT"
 (By William E. Dood, Ph, D. The Macmillan Co.)
 Full of interest is the theme of Prof. (of American History in the Univer- sity of Chicago William E. Dodd, In his sketches of three pre-eminent Statesman of the Old South"-Thorius Jefferson, John c. Calhoun and Jeffer- son Davis.
 Professor Dodd has concisely and clear lv told the story in a new form, of the ration, from the writing of the Declaration of Independence, to the Civil War. and he has told enough to make the position of the south clear and distinct to readers, who have neither the time nor the incli- ration to read bulky volumes of history. A delightful feature of the work is tile way that the author brings out the per sonal characteristics of the three great statesmen and their relations with many eminent men of their times-W ashington Lee Patrick Adams, Van Buren, Madi- son, Clay, Polk, Webster, Jackson and Lincoln.
 l or course Jefferson's great work and 1 che Indebtedness of political leaders to 1 his cleverness and acumen, is emphasized fully.
 After reviewing his long and brillian. services in public life, and the hostile criticisms to which he was subjected, he cause of his boundless faith in :he masses, Professor Dodd concludes that the War of 1S61-65 would have been avert ed if Virginia had followed the teaching of Jefferson on the subject of slavery.
 The sketch of John c. Calhoun. like ] that of Jefferson, gives a broad and com- prehensive view of the South Carolina l statesman. 1 Calhoun is not pictured as an enemy of | the Union as many thought: he built a
 solid South for the purpose of making the South dominant in national affairs.
 lie was reyered and honored by his | own state and today Hives in a sense tnat ID other American leader lives.''
 In the evolution War comes next or

 Quoting: He told me and George that we was
 in the foremost ranks of religious
 thinkers and he was simply delighted
 to know that the seed of spiritual en-
 Jightenment was sowed and sprouting
 away up heer among the mossbacks.
 He said that even among up-to-date
 city people he had to be powerful care
 full just how much of the truth he put
 to his congregation Some would stand
 for the straight out new thought, ana others insisted that it was the devil s invention. He laughed and told us joke after joke about how nigh he'd come to giving 'em straight medicine, and how the old fogy, dried up ones would hang back after meeting and want to know what he meant by such and such a statement He said he had given no end of prayer and thought to 1t. He said folks as a whole simply wasn | ready to grasp the advanced Ideas. | Them that keep abreast of the tlmes-
 and they furnished big part or the | funds-wanted him to hold his job and
