The introduction to this work points
out that it has been written to show
by means of a series Of simple illnstra-
tions the great loss which the whole
country is suffering through inefficiency
in doing most Of our daily acts; sec
ond, to try to convince the reader
that the remedy for this inefficiency
lies in systematic management, rather
extraordinary man; and third. to prove
that the best management is true
science resting upon clearly defined
laws, rules, and principles as the
foundation The author seeks, further,
TO show that the fundamental principles
of scientific management are applicable
to all kinds of human activities,
from our simplest individual acts TO
the work of our great corporations,
which call for the most elaborate CO.
operation. and finally through a series
of illustrations to convince the reader
that whenever these principles are cor
rectly applied, "resu]ts must follow
which are truly astounding
There is no doubt whatever Of the
soundness of the basis upon which this
work is written, Purposeful, we'll di-
rected, and perfectly organized effort

has done well in drawing public at.
tention to this great fact. and he has
proved his case with n certainty and

A PIONEER TALE.

The Land Chalmers. BY John Fleming
Wilson. With llluSirations by Arthur
i. Bcchor. Published by Little,
Brown. and. Company. Boston.
The author of this story is well
known to magazine readers from his
short stories. and il is TO his credit
that the charm carried heretofore in
thosa is transferred to this, his first
long novel. The narrative is OF the
hard time tEat Sim Spencer had in
opening what was held to be worth
less timber land claim in the North
west. He is obliged. by reason of his
failing health. to lead an outdoor life.
In the search for land on which TO

mirable in his force and directness.
There is d truth set forth in the book
that any one having knowledge of
land claims would recognize at once.

follows:

by an intense desire for valuable land.
II is also true that the complaisance OF
ignorant executives and lax administra-
tors allowed, for many years. what is
now termed plundering'' of vast
tracts OF timbered and arabic lands. And
the logical event of this was that every
man who took homestead in the dark

The Passing of the American BY Monroe
Royce. Published by Thomas Whitta-
ker. New York.
This book is lament at the passing
away of the old-fashioned pure blooded
Ango-Saxon American. The author
seems TO lament deeply this passing, his
assumption being that the so-caled pure
American type is the best there is,
and that no other composite can take
it's place. If one agrees TO this basis
of argument and presentation, one must
admit his deductions. But since the
Anglo Saxon American was himself n
composite of the Goth, the Saxon, the
Celt, the Tenton. the Roman, and the
Greek it is impossible to coucede the
singlc-strain purity of blood of the
American Anglo-Saxon, OF to maintain
thatother blends of human races may
not produce its equal. What the Amer
lean type will be after the amalgama-
tion of the British types with the Ger

settles down to the enjoyment of it.
That enjoyment is expected as a mat

Mead and Company. New York.
This is a story of intrigue, peril, and
narrow escapes in more ways than one.
The scene is chiefly confined in its
introduction to New York, and then
TO an ocean voyage. The author is de-
scrlbed as n man ''who knows how TO

This is a lively, we'll written story
which concerns the happiness and for
tunes of Jack Ballington, who, on ac-
count of his gentle life and apparent
lack of fighting qualities, was put in
danger of losing both his property and
the girl whom he loved, and who loved
him. But the fighting blood was in

tender sentiment in it, in which Mr..
Moore IS writings excel, and there are
also plenty of dramatic and humorous
situations. There is an Aunt Lucretia.
who lends spice to the narrative, and
who is thoroughly sensible, pushing
lady, with plenty of sentiment, good
humor, and practical sense about her.
The story, while being love story es,
sentially. also carries a strong appeal
to the universal love of nature. and its
plea for the conservation of our natural
resources makes an appeal to prevail
ing sentiment that is much abused. The
horse lover will find in this story many
fine scenes and situations which he can
appreciate; there are vivid sketches of
the war in the Philippines, nobly told,
and altogether it is one of the most
entertaining stories of the time.

This is a pleasant story. in which
Lieutenant Jack Armitage Of the U.

torpedo work. makes the acquaintance
Of Anne Wellington, who takes Ian
guild interest in him at first, but the
keenest sort of interest later on. In the
meantime there is a Russian noblcman,
kortsoff. with his special agent who
is in Lieutenant Armitage's employ,
but who betrays him, and these two
complIcate matters, not only in general,
but kortsoff complicates matters par.
ticularly as between himself and Miss
wellington. The girl is the daughter
of an enormously rich "captain of
industry and is a good deal of a
cosmopolitan, thinking very little of
her country. but admiring Europe very
much, and the nobility that she meets
there. The result is that her patriotism
is practically benumbed, but it is
awakened TO vital life by her contact
with Armitage, and in night adven.
ture where she sees some maneuvers of
the dotilla. The story is, except for the
apparent ascendency of kortsoff over
the heroine and her Welding to his

FoRCEFUL ON SUFFRAGE.

The author OF this little book en-
deavors to show through logic. reason.
and precedent. that the women who are
demanding suffrage are demanding
something that they ought not to have.
Her book is written in the utmost good
temper, with a straightforward logical
force that makes her an antagonist to

likely that as much attention will be
paid to this forceful little book as it's

THE EVILS OF GAMING,

Easy Money: Being the Experiences OF a
reformed Gambler All Gambling Tricks
Exposed. By Harry BroIask. Search
light Press, Cleveland. Ohio.
This is rather debasing, sordid
kind of story in which the underworld
Is depicted without reserve, and in all
its naked depravity. There is seen to
be but little honor among thieves, and
an utter unscrupulousness on the part
of the gamblers as to imposing upon
their friends, and cheating them out
of their money. The author tells about
his first ventures upon the race track,
about the rage of his father, the grief
of his mother, the disllusionment of it
all, and still his perseverance on the
downward course. He first gives his
experiences in betting on the races,
telling of the graft and the shifty
schemes to cheat, and the gain of dis.
honest money through guile and lies.
He tells of the tricks of the race.
tracks, and the runways of the dis.
honest; of the affi]iation of various
kinds of thieves; of gambling games
with cards and other devices; and the
certainty that the "sucker" always
loses. There are good many stories
an entertaining style. If it would have
the effect of warning the unwary from
the downward path, it would be a
healthful book, and we believe that
that is the intent of the anthor. Still,
it is doubtful if such books really eff
feet the aim of those who write them
for good purpose. For the life de.
plcted seems to a certain class of in
dividuals to be irrisistibly attractive,
and books of this kind are apt to be
used by those who go wrong as their
guide and mentor, even more than as
warning against the evil courses por-
trayed.
