jects thus: 1.-THE Opening of the Ocean
Routes, 1.-The Intruders on the East,
1.-The Eastern Seas" and 1.-THE Intruders
on the West"
Under these heads he takes us in the
path of Columbus and Magellan. of
Hawkins and of Drake, and makes US
shipmates with the early Dutch, Portu-
guese and English who voyaged to the
far East, and with the contending Span
iards, Frenchmen and Englishmen who
schemed and fought for the riches of the
West Indies and the Spanish Main.
In these chapters many sober narra-
tives are quoted that have all the CLAM
our of romance and the added virtue Of
fact. Whether in the study of seafaring
or of human nature, these chapters are
valuable documents.
The last four chapters of the book
deal with divers dark passages in trade
and sailing. their titles being, The
Pirate" 'Impressment" and 1.-The
SLAYER"
In each of these the author has gone
to the bottom of the subject and has
brought up for the modern reader practi
cally all that is worth while Of the debris
of conditions that long since persisted
and.sank out of sight.
Frequent references in the text show
the authors main authorities, but i'll
such an exhaustive work it is to be re-
GREETED that there is no accompanying
list of all the works consulted.
The book is well illustrated, though
sparingly, there being but "a plates in
all. These show that the author has ex-
hausted the pictorial side of his subject
and has chosen only pictures that actual
ly illustrate the text. He laments the
paucity of authentic pictures of early
sailors at work, and the reader, after
perusing his admirable volume, can
heartily agree with him. Boston: Little,

THE SEA TRADER.

. 'FSome books are to be tasted, others
to be swallowed, and some few to be
chewed and digested," says Bacon. In
the latter class is The Sea Trader, His
Friends and Enemies, by David Han
nay.
Few books on seafaring, subject on
which many men have written in recent
years, show SO much of the fruits of
patient research and discriminating sift-
ing of authorities as this work by Mr.
Hannay. 1t is a compendium, an epltome
of the world S knowledge on the subject
of commercial sea going. Y ct far from
being dull to the average reader, it is
written with much human interest, put
ting forw ard the seaman and his ways,
and subor1 inating to proper perspective
the inannate paraphernalla of his trade.
The author has aimed to prestn Mt a
general survey of the conditions under
which the trade of the world has been
conducted on the sea. He has illumi-
mated his text with leading examples of
the various subdivisions OF his subject
and, as S usual in such cases, the ex-
amples icing we'll chosen are entirely
typical and the most human thing in the
book.
Much hat is sordid and unworthy is to
be found in the annals of the worlds
trade. Many iniustlces were done by
white men, and many wrongs committed
against their heather brothers whose
goods they coveted. Blood and rapine
appear III every page of commercial his
tory as it was in earlier days.
Mr. Hannay does not lose sight of
these facts and writes always with a fine
discrimir alton as to the morals of the
subject.
The arrangement of the book betrays
a methodical mind 1t begins properly
with a CT apter on the ancient ship. Then
follow three chapters dealing with the
human side of seafaring in the earlier
times, entitled, 1.-The Skipper and His
Men, - The Way of Life' and ''Sale.
Purchase and Plumber"
1t is no easy matter to visualize the
sailor of the Middle Ages, for example,
as he appeared at his labors for the
reason that most writers have presented
him only in hours of violence and blood
shed.
Mr.. Hannay has turned to the lesser
known authorities on the early sailor
and has endeavored to show under what
terms he labored and under what con-
ditions he lived. In this he has succeed
ed better than most Of his predecessors,
presenting not only some shrewd deduc-
lions, but ample authority for his views,
in quotations from shipping agreements
and other documents, now rare indeed,
belonging to the Middle Ages.
In the familiar field of the beginning
of the white mans trade with distant
countries, Mr.. Hannay groups his sub

The death OF Asa Haskell Turner.
Familiarity known as Haskell Turner, Of
Isle au Haul, deserves more than pas
sing notice; and although it is now sew
eral weeks since he d, d, this notice is
written and sent acr SIS the continent.
NOT because he needs it, but because his
friends desire to record their deep ap-
probation of his strong and sturdy life.
He was born April Z, 1889, the eldest
son of John Turner and Lucretia P.
(HaskelD Turner. He had the best
blood OF the Turner's and Haskells in his
veins, and was worthy son of worthy
sires. He lived for nearly all of his
long and useful life on Isle au Haut, re-
moved from the swift currents of the
nations life, yet thoroughly interested
in all the affairs of State and church.
Had he so desired he could have held
many public offices of wide influence in
the State, even as he held at one time
and another ali of the various position
of responsibility and trust in his
own town, where he welded large
influence. He gained national reputa-
ton for the strength and beauty
of his handiwork in wrought iron. These
many works of fine art, which show
both strength and skill, will adorn for
years the homes of hundreds of friends
and the public buildings of many cities.
He was one of Natures noblemen,
strong of body, clear of mind, rich of
heart, and gentle and tender as a child.
He numbered his friends all over the
country by the hundred. Men and
women came from afar to see him, to
talk with him and to admire his handi-
work. Modest and unassuming, he
was unaware of his own ability and
strength. He had a fine humor and
the spirit of true gentleman. Such a
life cannot die. His character and his
works live after him. He passed out in
to the larger life on the first day of j an
uary, after long period of failing health
and weakness. He leaves an only daugh-
ter. Miss Hattie A. Turner, who has been
his joy and comfort since the death of
his wife many years ago. He leaves
also to mourn his death two brothers and
their families, Clarence D. and John c.
Turner of Isle au Haut, together with
his niece, Mrs. Georae F. Kenngot of
Los Angeles, Calf, and Professor W.
P. Turner of Purdue University, Lafay-
cite, Ind.-G. F. K, in the RockIand

PILGRIMS OF THE PLAINS.


There is something different about
Kate A Arlingtons new book, Pill
grims of the Palms." something quite
distinct from any other story within
memory 1t is another romance, but
one of love which grows in the woman
from a germ of seemingly platonic
friendship and admiratlon-a love nur-
tured bv appreciation of priyations and
sacrifices made,
1t is not the romance which is the NOV
ing element in this book, however. The
motive which commands immediate at
tention and buoys up these interesting
pages to lofty heights, is sisterly devo-
tion-th SACRIFICED love of the heroine,
Deya, who gives up her pleasant sunny,
home life that she may accompany her
invalid brother, J Ohm, on his trip through
the Western plains, whittier the need for
a change of climate and atmosphere
drives him.
The story of this long and tedious trip
down the Santa Fe trail is full OF thrills
and adventure. Such obstacles as the
rushes of buffalo herds, attacks by
bandits, encounters with Mexican In
dians, all related in simple, but telling
fashion, furnish plenty of wholesome
excitement, while on the other hand,
carefully traced detail, analysis of feel
ing and general description provide a
potent balancing force. The story gives
its reader wonderful sense of the vast
ness of the plains and an irrepressible
longing for the free air, the very purity
of which prevades the book.
There is a refreshing realism about
the book. One could never for mo-
ment question the truth of it, even il the
reader were not told in the preface that
the story and many of its incidents
singiy are founded on fact. Such char
acter outlines as those of Uncle Hiram,
the driver, and Joe-Lu, the colored boy,
are possibly only after the closest and
most intimate personal touch. Chicago:

LIFE ON A CATTLE RANCH.

"Bunch Grass" by Horace Annesley
Vachell, is termed chronicle of life on
a cattle ranch, but this title needs a
word of explanation. The ranch was
not in Arizona or Wyoming, but in Cali
fornia.
The author went to California 80 years
ago, when a region that is now prosper
GUS farming country was mostly wild
land, when cattle thieves were not rare
and when stage coaches were still held
up. AS a green Englishmen he was
looked upon as fair game; but he came
to like his neighbors in spite OF their
pecuiarities.
AS an outsider, he could look with i'm
partiality upon the people who f1ocked
there from all parts of this country, but
he looked with sympathetic eyes, not
those of prejudices formed beforehand.
During the II years he was in Cali
fornia there were changes greater than
a century could bring in an older civiliza-
ton. All this he realized, and the dis
connected stories he tells are really the
history of country in the making,
though in the form of fiction. For this
reason they have a value beyond the
pleasure they give to the casual reader.
