STORIES OF RED HANRAHAN: THE
SECRET ROSE: ROSA ALCHEMICA

STORIES OF RED HANRAHAN: THE
SECRET ROSE: ROSA ALCHEMICA.
BY w. p. Yeats. author of The
Land Of Hearts Desire" etc. New
York: The Macmillan Company.
This looks like a volume of prose stories
by one of the leaders of the Celtic re-
naissance about the ancient Irishry. But
in feeling, in the light that the words
shed. In the way they step off to some
inner rhythym Of their own and in the
fluid movement of the whole. each is a
beautiful poem Tradition, legend. belief.
flashes of history, glimpses of the mys-
terious invisible life of the land itself
come together here to embody the 'sor-
rows and the ecstasies'' of the people
By Edward Juhn Trelawney. Lon
don: G. Bell and Sons.
A splendid adventure, whose hero rush
es from hazard to hazard, with the read
er following breathless behind him. Love,
war, fire and flood. the fury Of the winds,
the frenzy of the seas are the things that
John Trelawney thrives upon, the mon
with all the rewards and honors that
the kindest Of destinies could contrive.
Whether these adventures are fiction
tinged with personal history. as they
claim to be, or whether they are all f1c-
ton. as appears more likely. they sum
to an enthralling tale of daring deeds.
Published anonymously in 1881. this IA
therless story was adopted by the greater
Dumas and housed with his collected
works. Restored finally to its legitimate
parent. it now has the deserved distinc-
ton Of a place in the handy volume re-
story of adventure and fine example of
the story teller's art. An Introduction
by H. n. Brailsford gives such an account
of the life Of Edward John Trelawney as

serious piety as any can hear of under
heaven. should be troubled so with
witches, I think 'tis no wonder: Where
will the devil show most malice but
where he is hated and hated most?"
The theory of witchcraft as outlined by
these ancient writer's is simple 1t ap-
pears that the devil finding certain spots
on the earth where the religion of the
people precluded the possibility of
temptation for evil decided to accom-
plish by force what he could not accom-
plish by moral suasion. To this end he
sent an army of deputy devils to affiict
the populace in every possible way. New
England, Lancaster, England, and a
number of other places noted for their
godliness' were visited by the invisible,
Invading horde. The devils themselves
were incapable of doing physical damage
without the aid of human beings. So in
one way and another they formed cove
nants with certain benighted individuals
whereby the humans were to be possessed
of devils spirits.
A spectral book would then be produced
which could only be seen by the devil and
the person with whom he was dealing.
The name of the person would be signed
and the exercises, forthwith, would begin.
Somewhere in particular warm corner
of Gehenna these books were kept on file
so that the chief devil might know ex-
actly who was working for him.

witch he or she possessed the power,

Food Rules Postponed.

Washington, May 30. The
Department OF Agriculture has
postponed until May /, 1915, the
time when the new regulations
abolishlng the guarantee legend
Of the pure food and drugs act
will become effective. Recent
" the department decided that
the legend guaranteed by
(name Of guarantee) under the
food and drugs act" which has
been commonly used by manu-.
facturers was misleading and de-
ceptive and ordered its abolish
ment after May /, 1915. The
reason for the postponement was
because Of the fact that many
manufacturers had already sup
piled themselves with large
quantities Of labels which could
not b., used By May /. 1915, and
when would have caused heavy
losses.

Sobriety and Efficiency.


Some time ago the Pennsyl.
vania Railroad placed a ban upon
drinking. The road maintained
it had no authority to dictate
what any man should do or not
Ido. but it did have the right to
lemplpY the men they wanted
and to discharge those they did
mot want, The road also ex-
pressly stated that it would only
employ men who did not drink,
who did not visit saloons and
who we're Industrious.
Since the rule was enforced
the results have been watched
with growing interest. Accord
ling to q report just published,
more than 10000 observations
we're taken on % divisions Of
the road during Q single month,
and not a single infraction Of the
rules was reported. Considering
that ell drinking while on duty,
the habitnal use Of intoxicants
and frequenting places where Ii.
Equor was sold are rigidly enforc.
ed and a violation carries with
it dismissal, it may be easily
seen why such clean bill Of
conduct is made possible.
But there is a further illustra-
'tion and decidedly more practi
cal in the efficiency Of the men
employed. In every one of
nearly 10000 tests Of efficiency
in service the result was to the
credit of the system.
This is reasonable. The man
who drinks is never a satisfac.
tory worker. He falls down just
when the most is expected Of
him. Physically and mentally
he suffers. With the loss Of vi
tality comes the loss of efficien-
cy.
Of all professions that Of the
railroad man is one of the most
responsible. The engineer in
his cab holds hundreds Of lives
in his hands. Every department
is important. With clear eyes
and a clear head, there is but
little danger Of mistaking sig
nails.
This applies not only to rail
road men, but to men in all pro-
fessions and walks Of life.
Whisky and honest work do
not 60 together, A man may be

Choose Ye.
Rye, Regular Democrat,
Pitted Against Hooper,
the Choice of Republi-
cans and Independent
Democrats for Governor
of Tennessee.

| The die is cast. The campaign
for the November election is on.
The regular Democrats of the
| State, in convention assembled,
have nominated Attorney Gen
eral Thomas @. Rye, Of Paris,
Henry county, for governor of
Tennessee, against Governor
Benjamin W. Hooper, Of New
port, Cooke county, who has been
nominated to succeed himself in
the gubernatorial chair, by both
the Republicans and the inde-
pendent Democrats in their
State conventions. In the main,
the Regular Democrats in this
campaign are at least outwardly
standing for the identical de.
mands that Hooper and the in.
dependent Democrats have
fought for and to some extent
gained in the last five years,
since the memorable Legislature
lof 1909, when the Statewide an
IT, whisky laws, the present cleo
tion law and q statewide prima-
Try law were enacted. The oppo
sition t. those laws fought them
in the General Assembly, fought
them Though all the courts, and
having lost on all except the pri-
mary law, they are now declar-
ing for all that they opposed so
long as any means Of overthrow.
ing the laws remained untried.
This campaign will be a test of
the confidence, the credulity Of
the people Of Tennessee. II the
people believe the published
and signed statements of the
Regular Democrats, Rye will be
elected in November; if they do
not. Hooper will succeed him
self. Let the candidates for
GovGnor and for the Legislature
meeteach other in the open. let
the people have the whole histo-
ry as told by both sides, and then
let the sovereign voters decide
the matter at the ballot box on
the third day of November.
Governor Hooper has made
good" on his word to the people,
has made the State an excellent
chief executive. The condition
Of Tennessee, under him, is as
sound as at any time in its his
tory and Oh those facts we be-
lieve that he will not fear or hes

other man who may question his
