1t is something to have grasped
this philosophy, and my understand
ing of it goes far to console me for
the loss of my old Illusion. l am also
comforted by finding in the American
contempt for time an answer to a
question which for many years trou-
bled me. Why do we Irish get on so
very well in New York, and, compare
tiSely speaking, SO badly in London?
We govern New York. We have
never done more than worry England.
The answer is now plain TO me. In
America we have found a nation
which takes view of time similar to
our own. The Belfast man can not be
regarded as Irish in this matter. Like
the Englshman, he bows down and
worships the idol which astronomers
have set up.
I suppose it is the astronomers who
are responsible for the fetish. The
rest of the Irish people are wiser.

"Cap N DAM s Dauphter. .

For real good and wholesome
story let us take off our hats To
"Cap'n Dams Daughter" the latest
novel of delightful Cape Cod by Jo-
seps c. Lincoln o. Appleton & Co,

This book is far and away the best
thing Mr.. Lincoln has done, No one
knows the Cape Codders better than
he does, and no one so far has put
that knowledge into black and white

"Cap'n Dams Daughter" is a tale Of
home life, such as might be written
Uf one had the skill to tell III Of
thousands of families from Puget
Sound to Key West. Cap'n Dan has a
wife seized with the society fever.
She has persuaded him to forsake the
sea and TO invest his savings in q

Dan doesn't know about a store would

Meanwhile, in keeping with the
mothers ideas. Gertrude has been
sent to a fashionable school, and Mrs.
Dan spends much time attending
lodge meetings and parties.
II is when the Capn finds that he is
about to fail that news comes OF the
death of Aunt Lavinia, with a wind
fall Of more than 100000 and fine
mansion in an adjoining town.
Thereafter the book develops into II
study of Gertrude's efforts to brng.
back to her parents the happiness sha
sees about to be thrown away owing
TO her mothers foolish ideas.
How she succeeds in doing this al-
most at the expense of her own hap
piness is simply told through many
pages of human interest and tender
philosophy.
Mr.. Lincoln has proved in this
charming story that there is humor
and pathos a-plenty in everyday life.
