fight. Cowperwood is convicted of a tech- nica1 crime in connection with the city's finances and is sent to the penitentiary But at the end of thirteen months his enemy, Butler dies, and he is pardoned Dramatically he re-enters the business world, and being one of the first to ap- preeiate the significance of the failure of Jay Cooke & Co.,. which brought on the panic of 1873, he makes himself a millionaire in few days.
 Through this story flows this tide of life in all it's apparent strength and cruelty. We see the workings of im- pulse and temperament, mysterious and powerful. The narrative thrills with raw human emotion, with undeniable pathos, with the excitement of great endeavor. Yet it is not primarily a story of passion or pathos or ambition. but story of life. Whatever our con- victions about realism as opposed to TO- nance may be, we must admit that "The Financier" is a tremendous book of it's kinda book for mature minds, of course, n-speaking, and picturing g evil as it is, but far too big, too signif- icant, to be thrust aside as realism of the useless dreary sort. It is not that; 1t is a portrayal of life-compelling in terest upsetting theories, provoking thought.

THE SODDY."
 By Sarah Comstock Doubleday, Page
 & Company. New York.
 Did you ever see a sod house.
 You certainly have seen many of them if you have lived in Kansas or Ne- braska. or some other Western state you have travelled across those states on comfortable rans-continentai train. Do you remember how they rose from the boundless plains like bunty little hills, and how desolate they looked in the midst of the desert? Perhaps you stopped to think that those sod houses made home for someone. and that they sheltered all the smiles and tears of life
 Sarah Comstoek's new book, .sThe soddy." just published by Doubleday. Page & Co.,, might be called the epic of the sod house and of the new West
 But we were talking about sod houses, and this passage taken from The Soddy" will call to mind the pic- ture that almost any trans continental traveller has of these dwellings,;
 "A vast graylsh brown stretch. un- broken, infinite; scared, lashed, buried for ages by merciless sun and wind and snow in turn; left to eternal bar renness by a forgetful God; this and this only. blank desolation, it would have appeared to many. For miles in all directions there was no sign of veg citation save for eorpses of occasional stunted thorny weeds. apparently dead in this late November rawness; and here and there a Russian thistle loping madly before the wind.
 'It was the cruelest of mockeries to trace the line of a dry river shaking it's way. a broad, sinuous line of sand. across the forsaken earth. Clumps of ancient, dead bushes marked its path.
 Yet in the midst of this blank des- olation was a human figure-a specl<. a dot, an atom on that limitless expanse of desert. It was the figure of man. In the face of a despairing earth he stood symbolic of hope for he was cut ting sod to build himself home. =.
 Hayden was toiling at some distance from the house. to-be, for here the buf- falo grass grew thickest and the wise soddy builder chooses a firmly rooted sod that will not crumble. Here lay the slabs that were to form his walls twelve inches square they were, flrEl and shapely, piled about where the cut ter and spade had passed. In their track the earth lay raw and bleeding.
 Presently. he hitched the horse to a wagon and transported tho slabs to the embryo house. Among soddies this was to be a mansion six rooms were out lined. high window castings for two outside doors. Hayden's ambition had begun with one-room shanty such as most bachelor settlers find sufficient But it had stretched rapidly, a room ai a time, until now he saw himself master of a pretentious dwelling, nothing less than sod palace
 "1'here was no foundation except the ground itself. Directly upon this the laying of sods had begun; grass up, one upon another. forming sturdy wall a whole foot thick. It was a wall to defy August's sun and January $ blizzard; rude, stalwart. cherishing. the sort of wall to shut out alarms and enclose content"

Bettie Reyes chambers-"Bettie Reyes" as she is best known-was q southern girl the daughter Of a soldier, Colonel Washington Reyes of Decatur. Ala. Now. full of age and honors she lives ih San Diego. Cal Her four soldier brothers all won laurels on southern battlehelds. At her home in Mississippi during her young widowhood she nursed many wounded soldiers, and her generous kindness is re- membered today in homes scattered ali over the now united country. For her hospitality was color-blind: 1t saw no difference between blue and gray-not even when suffering wounds called i-r help.
 Eva Landeneau," the initial poem of Mrs Chambers collection. was begun shortly after the war, at the suggestion of J. c. Holland 1t is dedicated to The United Daughters of the Confederaey' an appropriate tribute. since the heroine is a southern woman. and the poem naf- rates her experience from the beginning of the war 10 the yellow fever epidemic in 1878. Many of the shorter lyrics were printed in the New Orleans Peayune and other important newspapers.
 These "Idylls,n which are greatly va ried in theme. range from light moods 'c fancy and memory to passionate prayer and appeal In the lyrics, "Bend Low. 0, Godi" written during the yellow fever scourge. "Yearnings," "Mognonette. My Mamie" the poets emotion is voiced with genuine power.
 To the many readers of "Bettls Keyes'sn verse in the beautiful memory days this complete edition of Mrs. Cham bers' poetry will come with a glad well come and be treasured as is a message from an old friend.
