SIMON KENTON'S
 CABIN, STILL STANDS,
 TO BE PRESERVED

AprOpose or the present interest in simon Kenton's old cabin. an avid reader of fiction might be advised of certain thrilling and blood.rurdling tales almost forgotten
 Present faction Of war and detec- lives. magic and mystery. will pale i'm plot construction if one who is inter ested win visit the Public Library and ask to read everything about simon Kenton
 Like chapters from the climax sec. ton of "Best Seller" win be the biographical notes one win get And for fiction outdone In tale well told is the life Of Kenton in Harper's Magazine for February 1864
 From a hygienic and city beautified viewpoint the old simon Kenton cab. in on Ninth street. Covingion, Ken lucky. Is not what it should be. Some thing has been said about ordering It's owner to demolish It. To the un- informed stranger 1t is an eyesore to the street To the informed and patriotic it is perhaps ruggedly beau. tiful
 Al any rate hint that 1t might have to give way to housewreck- er's axe has made Simon Kenton again famous perhaps more famous and appreciated than in his own day. A protest has been made to the de struction of the cabin A proposal has been made to restore 1t to some thing like its former ruggedness and lit it to Q spot where 1t can be preserved and seen to advanage as a historic land mark. Local patriotic organizations In Covington are com templating its removal to Devon park, overlooking the river where it can continue to stand in commemoration of the advent of civilization into the Ohio Valley
 The cabin was built by the famous pioneer and Indian fighter In 17S2, and has been occupied until 20 years ago. It is about 20 by 30 feet In di- mansions and has the half story, or loft, where in his day those who slept above crawled to their nights rest by means of short ladder, The logs are of oak and cedar and have withstood the rayages of time won- derfuly. The addition at the rear is of more recent construction. The front of the cabin faces the street and has settled about two feet It is also claimed that very little remodeiing will be necessary to restore it
 Kenton. who built the cabin, had one of the most interesting careers in all Kentucky history. He was born In Virginia of rather obscure Scotch Irish percentage. but left there when l6 years old for the reason that he had loved too strongly and thought he had killed the young man who defeated him in the race for the young woman's heart and hand. He skipped across the Aleghanies and roved for time changing his name for year or two to simon Butler He heard of tbc wonderful Cain land, which Che Indians called 'Kain- tuckee" and made for it He met and became a friend and companion of Daniel Boone and once saved the lauers life from Indians
 He became spy against the The dians in the employ Of the British army and lived erery day more thrills than beiail most men in life- time now
 ln 17S2 he built bis cabin in the fork Of lhe Ohio and Licking rivers, and about that same time having heard that bis fight in ylrsinla had not resulted in murder went back

Spain, Of Austria, France and the
Netherlands. IL was reborn in 1880,
since when its economic development
has been hardly less remarkable than
that of Germany itself, thanks largely
to that supremacy able ruler, Leopold
II. whose Congo venture was the least
of his services 10 the state. Mr. Ensor
pays but little attention TO him or his
two predecessors on the throne, yet
makes the story complete.
Reference has just been made TO his
admirable treatment of the political
struggles in Belgium during the late
seventies and early eighties Of the last
century. No less authoritative is his
review of the Flemish agitation which,
shortly before the war, led it's leaders
to threaten to take up German. since
that was one of the official tongues of
the country under the so-called three
languages law" The chapter on Bel
gian art and literature, it may be added
In conclusion, does full justice TO the
Flemings. and is not merely confined
to an appreciation Of the Walloons,
whose leaders, curiously enough, bear
the Enthusiastically Flemish names Of
and Verhaeren. And the
temperament of both-Maeterlinck's in
its mysticism, Verhaeren's in both its
early materialistic and its later serene
moods typically Flemish to the core.

THE LADY AFT.

THE LADY AFT BY Richard Matthew, Hsllett
Illustrated by sidney VI. Chas, limo. PIP
3j2 Boston Small. Maynard q 60.
The author Of this tale of the sea,
we are assured, has lived the life OF
which he tells. He has sailed under
canvas and steam, he has taken his
trick at the wheel, he has furled sail,
he has rounded the two Capes, he has
observed the life Of the deep from the
fool in the fo'csle TO the skipper in
his lonely authority. But the most
profitable voyage he has made. one
thinks, has been under one Joseph Con-
rad. No better master could be found,
and Mr.. Hsllett is a far from inapt
pupil. The story he tells is Of a young
New York clerk who suddenly revolts
against the Snug monotony Of his daily
life, and who, on the spur of the mo-
ment, ships on a bark bound he knows
not whittier. There is plot, and in
IL are involved the captains daughter,
the steward, the cook, and mystery,
but il is in its pictures of the sailor
mans life and ways and traditions and
that lies the real interest
OF the story. This is the book Of be-
ginner, with a beginners uncertainties
Of treatment. but Mr.. Hsllett evidently
has material in plenty to draw upon.
and no doubt he will yei&rn 10 spin

This is warning in story form
against our military and naval UMPIRE

story. The author does not rely upon
mere sensationalism; there is logic in
his plot. He begins with the end of
the great war and the Peace of Geneva
that is 10 close it, The Allies have
won, but the settlement is a COM
promise. Germany refuses to reduce
her feet, but declares herself willing

This, plus $5,000,000,000 more for her
own treasury, she proceeds to collect
by making war on the United States,
England, according TO Mr.. Walker,
standing by on fhe plea that, since this
country had failed to protest against

sumption of the author is the only
weak spot in his forecast of TIE fut-
ure. New York is taken by surprise

written the book without prejudice,
that what Germany does in his story

Thankful's inheritance is an old

the beginning of the plot Of Mr.. Lin

arise from a mortgage and an attempt
to GUST the lady from her possession

lect. SIR Lincoln has won a large and
faithful following, whose fidelity he re-
wards by giving II what II expects from
him, though with increasingly perceptl-
BILE effort. The refreshing originality
of mis- earlier books has departed; the
spontaneous humor, the genuine senti-
ment, the simplicity and sterling hon
estv Of his folk are becoming labored,
Enthusiastically calculated for effect; IN
short. Mr.. Lincoln is in danger OF fall
ing victim TO a cliche. Still, he is one
of the best guides we have for trip
down East and up along; we owe HIM
debt of gratitude for much delight
given US in the past; we may well look
10 him for more of it in the future.
No author can always be at his best.

BELGIUM
A Notably Able Piece of Con

BELGIUM BY r. C X. Ensor Home University
Library. l6mo. pp. 256 Henry Holt Co
This is not book hastily thrown
together to meet likely popular de-
mand On the contrary, in the authors
mastery of his subject and the thor
oughness of his treatment of 1t, the
volume ranks with the best of the ad-
mirabe series to which it belongs. The
worlds admiration of Belgium's hero
ism. which he must share, has not led
Mr.. Ensor to gloss over the shortcom-
ings of a nation which has Jagged be-
hind the other small countries OF
Northern Europe in cultural though
not in industrial progress most of all
in the domain of popular education. He
is fair, but Incorporating his chap
ter on the religio- political conditions
that have been so largely responsible
for Belgian, more specifically Flemish,
illiteracy and obscurantist conserva-
tism is a model of its kind. No won
dey that the Walloons are rampant
radicals.
Belgium is one Of the oldest coun-
tries Of Europe; its history during the
Middle Ages forms an important chap
ter in the progress Of democracy, but
