THE LITE OF LIFE"


 By James Newton Matthews Edited h., Walter Hurt. Horton tS Co.,, Cincinnati
 It was James Whitcomb Riley who "discovered' the late James Newton Mat thews and it was no less an authority than the famous Hooser bard who first proclaimed him as among the foremost of Americas authentic poets. In view of this pronouncement a peculiar interest attaches to ''rhe Lute of Life, a eollec- tion of Matthews writings just issued and in which we find the Riley verdict amply vindicated. Here. truly, is a new note. a distinctive method. without the usual unhappy concomitant of a daring disregard for the reasonable restrictions of arts authority.
 Few of Riley's admirers wiuld ques- ton the integrity of his critical dicta in the province of prosody, so they will not fail to find significance in his state ment that 'Matehws is the muoth piece of the gods. His voice Is cadence to a universal purity of spirit. tender ness. sweetness, and all else that must have marked The Singer of Old, who in his time had done delicious things. !" Strong commendation this. which might smack of the superlative were it not re- inforced by equally high estimates from many literary masters, including Mark Twain.' who declared His songs have lifted my spirit like a strong and help fu, hand. Such poets as Matthews are the worlds best benefactors.' But praise provides nothing of intrinsic merit: it is merely indicatory The quality of these poems is their most effective eulo- gium.

 So it seems that those who read pr. McVoys review will not learn much about either 1ngersoll or my book, but that those who read Ingersoll and my book will learn a great deal about Dr. MeVoys review. Sincerely yours.

DETERMINATIONS. S."

By Georgia Wood Paghorn Charles
 Scribner's Sons, New York.
 Intervention" is a collection of ii short stories which portray interesting phases of life, largely between children and grown ups"
 If it is the purpose of the short story writer to take us out of the humdrunl, commonplace world and transfer us to a remodeled one, then most of the stories in Georgia Wood Paghorns collection are successful.
 Some of the stories are mere sketches. but others are more than that, for they are well constructed and well written and altogether very pleaslngly told.
 The opening story. "The Tempered Wind, is a most delightful incident of little city waif findin grefuge in the arms of a motherly woman, who shields and fosters the outcast in the most tender manner.
 The Rubber Stamp" is dramatic recital by nurse of how a woman achieved success as an illustrator, against all sorts of odds. We all know how hard it is to climb the ladder of success and this story deals effectively with such con ditions.
 Tn Broken Glass;" the author delves into the mysterious and presents a series of affairs which baffle the cleverest and put the story in a highly favorable light with others along those lines. Although many of the stories have a2- peared in magazines before their compila- tion, they are none the less interesting and the authors fine appreciation of "Child Nature,' and the clever delinea- tions she makes are gracefully simply and sentmentally exploited 1 nthe pages of "InterVentions."

WHERE BOSTON DIFFERS
Street Car Phraseology That Shows
 the City Temperament

rioii tie 4NtW 1oih ouii.
 Did you ever think how much the tenn perament of city is expressed in it's street cars?' aueried a man of an obser- want tern of mind. q have just returned from trip to Boston, and never before have the essential differences between that city and my own New York bee:, so impressed on me as by my observ&- tions in the street cars.
 'The first thing I miss in Boston is the familiar step livelyl' Instead I am ex- horted, Move as quickly as possible, please How could any one shove and push and crowd after thatg
 'Once in the car I find myself still sur rounded by an atmosphere of consdera- tlon and of correct English. Tn our own subway we are laconically ordered. Use both doors Tn Boston we are requested, Kindly leave by the nearer door
 This atmosphere is further maintained by another sign in the car. The passen- ger is requested, the conductor is re- quired, to name the value of any coin or note rendered in payment of fare Can you imagine a passenger being requested to do anything in New York street car!
 'At Dudley street station, the principal transfer point for suburban cars, there are large placards on every platform: Women first, please I must admit that I did not observe that these had any appreciable effect on the scramble when the cars came in. but it certainly indicates a kindly spirit on the part of the man who is re- sponsible for the cards.
 Pay as you enter cars have recently been installed on some of the Boston lines, so recently that they are still more or less of novelty. But If you go to Boston do not make the mistake of calling them pay as you enters. Such thing would mark you immediately as provincial. In Boston they are called prepayment cars Of course that is just as good a name for them as we have, perhaps little better: and yet wouldn't you know that Boston would call them prepayment cars, and we would call them pay as you enters?''

 Altogether, this book Is one which no lover of poetry, any less than the student of literature, can afford to overlook; and it should have a place in the library of every cultured person.

 you lie; Darker and darker the ways you roam, And danger turks in the lands thereby: You looks so weary, o heart of mine! You stagger and faint like stricken
 thing;-
 Come back. come back, to the warmth
 and wine,
 Where the old friends are and the
 robins singi Is nothing left that you care for more, Nothing of pleasure naught to allure. Where the summer dreams in the open
 door,
 And the lights fail not, and the loves
 endure?
 O heart of mine, in the wilderness Straying alone the nights through Come back, come back, to tn old caress, And the welcome warm that Is wait
 ing you!
 Come with laughter and come with song, To the quiet loves and the kindly ways, To the lonely soul that has watched so
 long
 Thro' perilous nights anl painful days, Waited and watched and wonder why You come not back to the klad sun
 shine,
 Where we were so happy, you and I. And love was with us, o heart of mine.

 After a bit of course, it is done, ,)ui through advance, retreat, suspense and climax after climax, until all goes well and our hero and heroine are married and basking in the light of the Japanese moon.
 An Englishman of presumably sound mind and in possession of all his senses goes to Japan very much engaged.

 The girl turns out to be the half sis ter of the Girl He Left Behind Him. in England-a species of Don Juanism on the part of another Englishman 20 years before. who had been on a similar dip lomatic mission to Japan.
 Everything turns out right in the end but after the last pages of the book are closed one keeps on reading, and the question savers somewhat of this:
 Will the Englishman be happy now that hehas achieved the desire of his heart. or will he grow weary of the lt- tie Gisha Girl in the years to come whose conversation is made up mostly of

 The every day happenings, the little tiffs and squabbles, the latest town gossip and all that pertains to the little colony the reader is regaled with, and while there is no startling plot in particular, the story works out Interestingly to satisfactory and happy conclusion.
 To be more explicit, the story has to do with the celebration of Aunty Viney's sgd birthday, which has as rival claimant tle interest in Tobes onslaught on the Pole cat.
