Partners Three"

Partners Three" by Ralph Henry
Barbour. is a wholesome boys story
of adventure dealing for the most part
with characters and events OF every
day life in way that gives them a
halo of youthful romance.

widow. does a desultory trade run
ming a water boat in Greenhaven, a
New England coast town. One day
he saves the lives OF Harry Folsom
and his guest Bee" Mansfield. Harry
belongs 10 one OF the prominent
wealthy families OF Greenhaven. but
the three boys become fast friends.
Upon the insstence of Bee, they

70 hunt for treasure supposed TO have
been buried years before by a ship
wrecker of local fame.
They happen upon an old fisherman
of whom their vivid imaginations
make a near-pirate. The mystery
surrounding Honest Bill" Glass, for
that is his name. is one OF the chief
elements of interest in the story It
is greatly deepened when the boys
discover that his cabin is filled with
the loot from many ships and the un-
ravelling of the puzzle is a big sur

repeal the old one and which will
make IL possible for the farmer TO
turn the waste products OF the vari-
Gus crops into industrial alcohol.
President Wilson is much Interest
ed in the Oregon senator's discovery
OF the defects I'm the amended dena-
tured alcohol law OF 1906 and not
withstanding the many demands on
his time because OF matters growing
out OF the special session OF congress
and the Mexican situation, he has re-

new law. In European countries. par
ticularly Germany the manufacture
of industrial alcohol from Gull pota-
toes, cornstalks. waste fruits and veg
etables Is one OF the most important
features OF the agricultural Industry
4 The principal reason for the failure
OF the present denatured alcohol law
: TO benedt the farmers of the country
/ is the joker in the amendment OF
| 1907. which restricts the production
OF tax-free spirits 10 100 gallons per

hol as TO make the cost OF the pro

Since the defects In the present in

tlyes OF farmers oranges have writ

culture in this country more than any
other piece Of legislation. Severa

tiyes are also interested in the pro
posal TO repeal the present law anc

At the present time the presiden

This treatise is not science nor does
II establish conclusively the doctrine
OF immortality, but aside from that,
the title Is all right. IL is a pseudo
scientific discussion Of a question that
is of perennial interest. The task
which the author, John o. yeiser,
sets for himself is besr expressed in
a passage of the dedication in which
he declares that he cannot dedicate
the work to Haeckel, Spencer, Oar.

-Four Mothers at chautauqua"

Another has been added recently
TO the long list of "Pansy" books by
their popular author, isabella Mac
donald Alden. Readers who are IA
miliar with the series will remember
especially the one which tells OF the
experiences OF -Four Girls AT Chau.
tauqua' IL is as a sequel to that one
that the present book appears.
With the same happy earnestness
that characterized the former story.
"Pansy" now tells how the four
friends accompanied by their children
and grandchildren return IN mature
years to the scene OF their early
friendship.
The story is woven around the act
ual happenings of the famous New
York Chautauqua in the season OF
1912 II is written, the author says
in her preface. for the thousands who
attended and for the other thousands
who would have liked 10 go. The in
cidents OF the plot are made con
vincing by liberal use OF illustra-
tons from photographs taken on the
grounds By Chautauqua, lake
"Pansy" shows again her ability TO
handle large group OF characters,
giving each OF them personality that
is distinct and yet not stereotyped. Ia
simple direct style. she tells OF
Christian life and a deep religious
faith in way that could not be the
least Objectionable TO the most skep-
| teal of readers.
The appeal OF this book. however,
! as OF its predecessors, lies mainly in
the sdelights upon human character
! afforded by the incidents told which
are always related in a personal vein.
| The author has the knack OF entering
| into the home of a family and In a
| few pages giving a definite summing
| up OF the characters OF the differ
ent members. The effect is gained
| in part by taking such homely Incl
dents as the discussion OF how to
spend the vacation or some other
topic OF universal appeal.
| In the -Four NJ others at Chautau
qua" a large part of the character
study Is afforded by the family of
Mrs. Bradford. the wife OF an &C
countant. who has social ambitions
| for her daughters.
A triangular love story runs
through the book. involving the son Of
one OF the four mothers. the daughter
OF another and Hazel Harris the much
J imposed upon niece of Mrs. Brad

/ fully drawn and are very real and in
