Recent events in Mexico, which
have resulted in widespread revolu-
ton, have served to draw the atten
ton of the whole world to that dis
tressed country. incidentally, there
has been created an extraordinary
demand for reliable information con-
corning Mexico and the Mexicans.
This fact, as well as the generous re-
ception accorded this book (Mac-
millans) since it appeared, has led
the publishers to issue the present
edition, which, by means of careful
revision and certain additions, has
been brought fully up to date.
The author has given a concise ac-
count of his wanderings in Mexico
description of the Mexican capital
and other interesting cities of the
great haciendas, of the gold and sill

sorts and his experiences in noun

A New mango Succession.

The Argentine tango would soon go
into a decline if the Chilean yucca
were introduced in America, accord
ing to Gen. Rafael Reyes, ex-Presi,
dent of Colombia. Judging from the
description, the "cueca" is exciting if
somewhat heating. In the chapter or
the Chileans and their customs in his
book "'rhe Two Americas" (Stokes)
the General says: ITO the accompani
ment of the harp they danced the
cueca, a sort of combination of the
holero. the .habanera, the Colombian
bambuco. the jota, the torbellino. and
the fandango, in which the dancers
performed individually, expressing in
their movements the sentimental
character of the people. The cueca
is danced with more grace, with
Greater animation, and with deeper
Intensity than the tango which, in
my opinion, it will outrival as a popu-
lar terpsichorean exercise in other
countries when it becomes better
known"

who spoke at public meeting on

Naturally such women cannot be eX-
pected to play second fiddle. They
exercise great influence, and when
married they rule the roost,'
at should be mentioned that their
husbands submit willingly to their
tactful rule, and gladly obey their

paul FOrt-Ballades Franchise"

LOEt-A1hllAuth
For long in the history of French
literature the Academic Franchise has
stood for talent as opposed to genius.
And if one class were looked upon
askance by that august body more
than another it was that to which the
young poet belonged. The
palm should be given to him who
possessed what the Academic con-
demned-originality and genius. The
first to receive this palm was Leconte
de Lisle, then Paul Varlaine and
Stephane Mallarme: it is now held by
Paul Fort, poete franchise.
The technique of NJ. Paul Forts
poetry possesses one or two marked
differences to that of his predecessors.
1t is printed in the form of prose
though being for the most part COM
posed in the ordinary aiexandrine of
twelve feet. He uses. with general
accuracy, the median caesura, and
his rhymes are often rich though
constantly he is content with n simple
writes in blank verse.
These various meters come directly
from the popular songs of the coun-
tryside, where, indeed, our poet
sought his inspiration. 1t is the music
of the folk songs that he has so skill
fully used in his verse. The style is
new to modern poetry, and to Paul
Fort must remain the honor of giving
to it an established place. If some
such attempts had already been made
by M. Mendes, for example, in his
"Lieder,' or by NJ. Peladan in the
"Queste du Graal," nevertheless our
poet by the infinite variety of which
he has shown it is capable by the
great Importance 1t possesses in his
own work, and by the theoretical
value he attaches to 1t has made this
style above all his own.
We will limit ourselves to but one
quotation. 1t is the dedication to his
first volume of ballads:
ton regard est plus doux d'avoir
etc wolfe quand tn souris d'aVoir
pleure, ct plus doux ton sourier de
s'etre devoie quand ma piene ct
ton anne ont du Sc recontrer.
"Sur mon visage en- larmes a passe

And finally, Julius Petersen, professor
of the University of Basel, gives what

of the remarkable development of the
German stage yet to appear on this

Hamlin Garland has rarely written
anything so ideally charming as his
latest novel, 1.-The Forester's Daugh-
ter" (Harper's), a story in which the
zest of life in the open blends into
that robust, yet poetic, appreciation
of nature which is so vital an element
in some of the authors best work
The reader cannot easily help fall
ing In love with the heroine of The
Forester's Daughter" Berea McFar-
lane.
1t is in the picturesque, mountain
GUS part of Colorado that Berea Nc
Farlane lives, and her lover is
young man from the East, who has
been sent West to build up feeble
constitution by roughing 1t in the
wilderness. The effect of new con-
ditions and new types upon the culti-
waited Fastener. his emotion when he
comes for the first time in contact
with the frank womanliness of the
unschooled Western girl-all this is
of the stuff of which Western
romances are made, but in Mr.. Car
lands treatment of it there is no hint
of the conventional or of the obvious.
"Berrie" herself constantly piques
our interest Her small hand has
grip of steel; she can ride any horse
that a cowboy can ride, and she is a
better forester than her father. But
in this there is no note of braVado;
competence, modesty and healthy
sweetness of disposition are the domi-
nant notes of her character.
Drawn to young Norcross first by a
sort of material sympathy Tor MS
weakness, then more strongly at
tracted by his cleanness, his gentle
manly bearing and his gentleness OF
soul. she makes him a sort of protege,
disdaining the sullen displeasure or
the man she is engaged to marry.
At Berea's suggestion, Norcross is
nominaiiy taken into the forestry ser
vice, and with the girl and her father
he makes a journey through the
woods, learning his first lessons of
endurance and efficiency. In all wavs
he finds himself obliged to lean upon
Berea, so that he is as much
shamed as grateful, yet gradually her
unselfishness and warmth of heart
win him from circumstances ana
at the same time real strength ana
courage begin to flow into him.
There is something rather fine and
touching in the mans dependence on
the woman, for so plucSy is he that
his comparative helplessness rather
rises than lowers ones estimate ol
his manhood. At first their relation
is merely one of affectionate good
fellowship; but when McFarlane is
forced to go back after their strayed
horses, and is storm bound, the man
and girl become aware of a deeper
Intimacy. Then the inevitable hap
pens. The rough, brutal man who
was Bereas accepted sutton hunts
them down; and while the conflict
that ensues is primitive in its physical
violence. Berea's part in it only serves
to make her womanllness the more
appealing.
