full analysis of the claims Of the WOm-
en- of history to the title Of eminent.
Who are the eminent women or his
tory, and how did they acquire or
achieve that eminence? Were they
born to it. as in the case Of certain
empresses and queens? Was eminenCe
reflected upon them by their eminent
husbands as in the case of the be-
headed wives Of Henry VIII of Eng
land? Or did they achieve eminence
bv the exercise, Of their own genius, as
did Harriet BecCher Stowe. Lola Mon
t6z or Rosa BOnheur? OF still greater
interest is the answer to the question:
How are these eminent women Of his
tory to be graded in respect to their
individual degree of eminenCe? 1t is
a matter of much satisfaction to be
able to state that such a faithful anal
vsis has at last been made, and all
these questions answered in most

An educated - Scotchman, educated
in literature and the fine arts but not
in culture and grace, but with COM
mon sense and a big heart are the
makeup of the life of S. R. Crockett's
Sandy" Sandy is college man, a
graduate of the University of Edin-
burgh, true Scotchman whose fam
lily live back in the hills of Scotland.
But Sandy decided to make his for
tune in London and by his wits and
education as a writer.
To London he goes, but the writing
business proves to be a poor bust
ness even to get ones bread on, so he
resorts to parcel delivering system
which grows into a magnificent busi-
ness. The writer evidently knows
Scotch life and the traits of a Scotch
man of the lower class. Sandy has
hard life, he is bouncer-out at a
theater at nights, breaches on Sunday
and falls in love with an actress all
at the same time. A neat little plot
which the author brings about in a
way that the reader enjoys the story
and at the same time gets a glimpse
of life in England, Scotland and Ire
land.
