served Him. She was a real help and
blessing to every one, on all occasions,
bringing sunshine and encouragement
wherever she went.
God displayed His wonderful good
ness and mercy in allowing such
woman to live, in giving her children
to rear, in blessing her with long life,
and receiving her unto Himself when
her days of usefulness were over.

call her mother, or inhmate friend.
She was modest and retissng, but true
and loyal to her convictions.
Her form has passed from sight, but
she has just begun to live. The
memory of Grandmother Mckenzie
is constant, living Inspiration, maxi
ing better men and women of those
who knew her. A volume could be
written concerning her influence for
good swhile here on earth, and the
abundant harvest; the seeds of good
she sowed will yield as long as time
shall last; but suffice it to say, she
saw and recognized the land of the
setting sun, folded her tired, worn
hands, and patiently awaited Gods
will to be done. The spirit took it's
flight to live with God ard His angels

husband, who preceded her 10 years
ago, there to await the call of the

magnificently purposeful way IN which
he has composed and developed his
story.
II Is impossible to give within the
limits of a review even an outlins OF
this book 1t tells the progress OF
young New Yorker, born on Brooklyn
Heights within sight Of the hsrbor,
from a dazzled admiration OF the
future power and wealth Of the city, to
a realization Of the cost of it all to the
labor that serves it. Mr.. Poole knows
the chaos and the loss Of our unsys-
tematic, superannuated ways OF hand
ling our merchandise and manufact-
ures, the delays and confusion OF un
loading and loading and trucking and
storing our ssaborne freight; he IN
derstands, also, the magnificent order
and unprecedented prosperity that will
result from the grandiose plans Of our
engineers for a new and greater harbo-.
He shows US all this, but also the dark
mystery Of our Waterfront. at night, the
beauties Of an autumn mist on the
waters, the magic OF sunset across
the bay veiled in the smoke Of Bayonne,
the wonder of the approach from the
Nsrrows 70 our city Of towering castles
OF commerce and finance. And then he
takes US into the stokeholes Of the
steamers that serve US and among the
lockers that handle the wealth they
carry. His hero, a "glory writer" for
the magazines, the laudator Of princes
of commerce and captains OF industry,
becomes a Socialist and q strike leader.
II is with lockers strike and its
failure, narrated with intense power,
that the story ends. The author adds
vision Of a cessation OF hostilities in
Europe through the refusal Of the
Continents embattled workers 10 con-
tinue TO shed their blood for causes
and interests that are not theirs either
In peace or In war.
In a story dealing with such subjects,
and with men in masses, il is gratifying
to encounter so many well-drawn indi-
viduals. The old merchant who has
seen American shipping vanish from
the seas in the sos Of the last century
is one of these; he is the link with the
past. The efficiency engineer, planning
the truly great New York, pinning his
faith to the leadership of the powerful
men for whom he plans, is part Of the
future. IL Is through these strong
men, he holds, that Is 70 come the
amelioration Of the conditions Of life

THE TURMOIL.

THE TURMOIL. Novel. BY Booth Harrington.
illustrated by e. L. Chambers. l2Uo. pp S4s
Harper Bros.
Be it said. first of all, that this is
one of the most interesting stories Mr.
Harrington has written thus far. It
teens with life and action, with char
acters wildly matched and opposed; it
has an interesting hero, poet born, IN
revolt, of course, against q material
istic age, but business man by stress
of circumstance, made successful at
last at his distasteful task of adding
to the fortune his father has founded
by his love of woman who gains the
readers allegiance. She is fine, and
she is genuine. As story pure and
simple, the book is all that Mr.. Tark
ington has given US the right to ex-
pect from him.
But the novel mas a deeper purpose,
for we may assume that its hero's
protest is the authors own. Thus far
our gifted band Of Indiana authors has
sounded without dissonance the praises
Of its native state, of its homely vir-
tues, its Arcadian simplicity, its mid
Western blessedness. Not so Mr..

IT,. Macmillan Company.
This is a remarkable book, not only
as a first performance, but also, with
out consideration Of its authors age or
presumable inexperience, as an achieve
ment in itself. II is one of the ablest
novels added TO American fiction in
many year, worthy of a place beside
Mr.. Whitman's "Predestined" and the
New York chapters of Mr.. Dreiser's
Sister Carrie" For Mr.. Poole, justi-
fed in his vast ambition by the result,
has given US in these pages still an
other picture OF the overwhelming
vastness and grandeur and miseries, Of
the glowing romance and stark realism,
of the biting contrasts of the daily
life Of this titanic metropolis of ours,
so crushingly impersonal, so Indifferent
to the cost and the cruel sacrifice that
mark It's progress toward an ever
mightier destiny. What is more, this
author, unknown yesterday, but deserv-
ing fame to-day, shows US New York
from a new side-from the herbor
which has nourished il to its present
power and wealth. in spite Of the
muddle made of its still greater OPP
portunities by the benefciaries Of its
bounty. IL is at its waterfront that
New York meets and mingles and COM
petes with all the world, its races and
its civilizations; and it is there that
Mr.. Poole, more ambitious still, brings
us face TO face with the two great
forces struggling for the control of the
destinies OF umanity-capitalisti eff
cheney, seeking 10 remedy the old hap
hazard ways, and labor seeking TO gov
ern its own fate, determined to lessen
the cost TO itself, 20 have a greater
share in the wealth and the joy Of liv-
ing which It helps to produce.
The book has further significance as
the first really notable novel produced
BY the new democracy, by that young
intollioenfziG OF ours which insists
that the only lesson which the past
holds for us Is that we must break with
il entirely If we are to reach the higher
goal, a state of socio-eeonomic. justice
This is a book OF contrasts, in the
mass and in the case OF its individual
characters, a book OF the past and the
present and the future. not only OF
New York and OF this country, but Of
all the world. One need not agree with
all Mr.. Pooles views and convictions

This is the straightforward story of

escape aided by officers of the Imperial
army, who were good sportsmen and
therefore liked her pluck.
Marie Sukloff was initiated in the
fundamentals Of the Russian revolu-
tionary movement when she was still
a mere child. As an apprentice In a
wretchcd little tailor shop she aided in
the distribution Of the forbidden liter

been made familiar TO us By earlier
writers, but her pages serve 10 revive
and strengthen the impression re-

Don't forget that you may at some time want to open the top sash Of the window, and that flies and mosquitoes are not particular as to through which sash they enter. therefore have the screen run from top to bottom of the window; to do this, side springs will be necessary in the screen frames. but they will cost little more than screen which can be used only from the bot tom sash and which Is little better than no screen at all
 Don't forget that there will never be better time to build than the pres- ent; materials of all kinds are cheap CT than they have been for several years, and as soon as the European war is over there is sure 10 be sharp advance in prices.
 Don't say you cant build now be- cause you have not enough money; if you have little, the cooperative banks and building associations will loan you the balance needed upon terms under which you can pay for the house in monthly installments which would be no more than you would or dinarily be paying for rent.-Ex- change.
