THE FAVOR o. KINGS. BY Mary
Hastings Bradley. Illustrated. l2mo,
PIP. 3SS. u. Appleton & Co.
The story of Anne Boleyn's rise to
the throne of England, still more OF
her vlndictive arrogance during her
brief occupancy Of the place Of honor
at Henry's side. Is at best an unsympa-
thetic one. She paid the price Of her
ambition, and in the end she paid its
cost This book is therefore, In no
sense a romance. 1t Is an historical
novel by an author who has apparently
gone TO considerable pains in familiar
izing herself with all the evidence pro
and con available to us in this unsa-
cory affair. She shows no marked par
titsanship for her heroine, II so she
can be called--it is Catharine OF Ara
gon who receives that-but In the mat
ter of the charges Of inhdelity brought
against Anne, for which three men paid
with their lives, one Of them her own
brother, she gives her that beneht or
the doubt which, in the absence OF EVIL
fence. the historian gave her long ago.
The book deals exclusively with the
domestic phase Of Henry's existence
and with the darker side Of his court.
It introduces. of necessity, Wolsey and
Cromwell. the Spanish Ambassador
Chapertuis, who was the first to report
the Kings nascent passion for Anne:
Wyatt, the Duke Of Norfolk and others
who played their parts in this episode;
but il gives no larger outlook upon the
English life OF the period. or upon its
politics, In which Henry
played so large and infiuential|a role.
It was IN the hour of her death that
Anne Boleyn rose to the best that was
in her. And 10 that closing episode OF
her strange. brief career the author
does full justice.

Discharged Prisoners Should
Have Some Funds.

Tom lyman, warden of the Colorado
penitentiary, believes the released
convict should be given money upon
his discharge. George Creel, In an
article in Success Magazine, quotes
him as follows:
And when the prisoner has been
reformed-strengthe in body and
mind, taught means of livelihood and
the habits Of industry-what then?
Must he 60 out with nothing in his
pockets but his hands? / don't think
SO. No fair man can think so.
The released convict must have
some money; enough at least to tide
keep him from feeling like vagrant
to prevent his despair and relapse.

the men a certain salary toward the
end OF the sentence-say 81 a day for
the last sixty days. 1t Is my endeavor
