facts appear in it. but these appear only
to illuminate some aspect or quality OF
the work, to trace one or another OF the
influences that contributed to the magic
of Wildes literary art. One has a dou,
BILE liking for this study. He likes and
admires it's high intellectual quality. Its
broad acquaintance with literature, it's
fine critical faculty. its scientific attitude
before the subject in hand. Then. too, he
likes, and likes immensely. the insight
and sympathy. the courage that goes
along with conviction. the fair dealing,
the straightforward. outstanding, unapolo-
getic manner of the whole. One is glad
that Mr.. kennerley has made this pock-
etable reprint of the earlier and larger
edition. 1t is book to carry about and
read often. Two recent happenings, both
wholly distinct from the intrinsic value
of this book, will, nevertheless, cause a
fresh run for it. One of these is that
Mr.. Ransome has made successful issue
from a libel suit instituted against him
for something said in this study. The 9TH
er is that The Sunday Star short time
ago published a story of the intention
of Lord Alfred Douglas to write a book
containing the truth about Oscar Wilde.
These things are neither here nor there.
What is of Importance is that here Is a
serious Interpretation and appraisal OF
Oscar Wilde as we'll as the first attempt
to assign him definite place in litera-
ture.
ALL THE DAYS OF MY LIFEs an
Autobiography. BY Amelia E. Barr
author of "a Maid of Old New York"
etc Illustrated. New York: d. APP
pleton & Co.
A popular writer cannot do a more gen.
orally gratifying thing than. at one time
or another in his career. to step out from
behind his books in order to talk to his
readers in frank and friendly fashion
about himself. Curiosity is ever on tip
toe about the personality of the enter
tanning romancer. Mrs. Bars story OF
her own life is an exceptional case OF
free self-avowal Not only does the door
of outer circumstance stand open here,
but that of the more cloistered thoughts
and feelings as well, giving one the
vision of a high and unbroken courage,
of fresh and abiding belief In the es-
sential beauty and goodness of life 1t
is moreover, a record of 'prodigious in
dustry and sheer pluck. Well above fifty
novels in less than half as many years.
to say nothing of a considerable body of
work make substantial evidence of this.
II is a sincere and unaffected story, read
ing with the same ease and naturalness
that mark the novels by this author. The
mission of this book of recollectlonS is
broader than that of merely bringing the
readers of Mrs. Bars stories into closer
touch with her. For it is the stimulating
and suggestive story of successful
workine woman. And the qualities that
have wrought this success. are precisely
those that lie implicit in all success
whether the worker be a writer of stories.

GERMANY AND THE GERMAN EN-
PEROR. BY Herbert PERKS. author
of ~ Short History of War and
Peace" etc. New York: Henry Holt
& Co.
- LANDING behind this notable
study. as cause of it's undertake
ing is the fact that the new
German empire stands today as,
by all odds, the most perplexing
and critical problem facing the world OF
nations That it is, moreover, problem
not TO be set aside as either avoidable or
in snv degree neglible. To insure its own
life the German empire must develop.
must expand The how and where of this
expansion are the vital points of this
disturbing problem To compass the
aims of this expansion in direction and
extent, to grasp the German vision OF a
national future, one needs to come into
touch with the German temper and dis
position This enlightening and absorb
in.. study is bent to an explanation OF
the German people by an examination
OF the long and vicissitous past in which
widely divergent elements have been
slowly welded into an organic national
life The para mount feature of MIR.
Perris' work is that he has drained off
from the multtudinous facts of Ger
man history only such movements and
turning points as stand expressive of the
growth of a distnctively German char
acter that he has distilled from each
period of such growth the essential es-
sence of the succeeding period. This
admirably executed plan permits one to
trace a clear line of German develop
ment from its tribal beS;nninC5 to the
present II does more. 1t breaks ground
for the future of Germany, by an inclu-
sive and penetrating study Of it's present
situation and outlook Pretty nearly
half of this study deals with the present
of Germany. with its economic and politi-
cal conditions, with the policy of the
tremendous personality of Emperor Will
liam H. Germany and the emperor are
In the air. Everybody wl.o writes at all
serious stuff writes about them. 1t is
safe TO surrnise, however. that a better
Interpretation of the German life of to-
day in it's relation to the Germanic past
cannot be found than this splendidiy
dramatic story by r. PERKS.

around for ways and means like some
secretaries of the Treasury have had to
do in the past When he took Office he
found a splendid cash surplus on hand,
with the prospect of that surplus being
increased before the end of the fiscal
year.
1t is estimated that this year we will
spend some $671, 100000 for general pur-
poses of the MISUNDERSTANDING pos

Sherman's march to the sea. He was an
infant when the troops went through,
but In the poverty they left in their
wake he had his full share
The first fourteen years of his life were
a struggle with want and privation. He
acquired some small common school
education and then attended the Univer-
sity Of Tennessee, where he remained
through his junior year. retiring to study
law in Knoxville. while he supported
himself as deputy clerk Of one of the
divisions Of the United States circuit
court-the only public position he ever
held until he entered the cabinet. In
1884 he was admitted to the bar.
Early in his law practice he was made
counsel for the Richmond and Danville
railroad. This turned his attention to
transportation affairs. Before he was
thirty he had obtained control of a
deprecated street car line in Knoxville,
beat away the wolves from its Office
door, headed OF several impending re-
ceiverships and finally put the road on
its feet. That gave him his upward
start.
New York attracted him as offering a
better field for his efforts. In 1892 he
went there and resumed the practice Of
law. acquiring also an interest in a firm
which dealt In investment securities.
With his taste for transportation prob
lens he set his mind early to that one
which had long puzzled New York and
its suburbs. The essential soundness OF
the principle of tunneling under the
rivers appealed to him. But he saw two
companies go bankrupt in attempting to
put through the project before he took
up the task as his own.
