The NAUTILUS for October goes on
its own cheerful way. rejoicing as
usual over the fact that We can do
anything We wish II We 60 about II
the right way. This is very opti.
mistic philosophy. which must APP
peal to all people who dc not feed
upon grOuchiness and Ill temper as
their stat OF life. The first editorial,
"A study Ia government says that
| he perfectly made government or
organization Is q democracy that
can fire It's representatives as easily
as IL can hire them" The recall
seems 10 be along these lines,
though Il II not mentioned in con
nect!on. To be positive not sensi
tive TO outside conditions and only
|
science, is good advice which will
make for health and happiness. Sew
| eral sane and clear reasons for wo-
man suffrage are given IN other edi-
toriais, which men might read 10 sd-
vantage. Altogether the NAUTILUS is
doing good work, and the kind OF
work which Is greatly needed.
The war, interpreted in terms
which the boys and girls can under
stand, Is the central subject OF the
Watch Tower the department OF
ST. Nicholas that deals with cur
rent events. Each country is taken
I'D separately IN It's relation with me
United States. "The Lost Prince"
by Frances Hodgson Burnett, reach
es an interesting climax when ;he
prince meets his father all told In
the frank and simple language which
Mrs. Burnett uses so well.
A winter camp at the Cloyne
School for Boys. Newport, r. l., and
how II was built and enjoyed by the
boy scouts Is fully illustrated and is
as interesting TO the old as 10 the
Young. The usual stories for little
folk, I'm which Mr.. Dog and Mt Bear
are the heroes. make up number
which covers many lines of instruo-
tive entertainment. st. Nicholas has
held its own for over 40 years and
shows no signs OF deteriorating.
The Red Book Cor October need
have had no other story but The
Scab" to make II red letter num-
Der. This is a powerful story OF a
strike and what came OF 1t in big
city, Pittsburg, perhaps. II has to
do with the italians and the funeral
OF Tony Amato thought 20 be the
loyal friend OF tie strikers ard dis
covered 10 nave sneaked into the
works and made so for ore day.
The men are furious with rage and
rush 10 his house 10 drag him out.
When they arrive there, he and his
little hoy are both dead. The boy
had died of fever and had begged
his mother and father 10 have the
little white wagon" carry him TO
the beautiful yard, where there was
grass and flowers. They promised,
and that was why Tony sneaked
back TO the works. When he comes
back with the money bullet from
a striker kills him. There is no little
white wagon, only on ugly black
one. with an old horse which carries
them both 10 the hill where the pau
pers lie, while a woman and a dog
follow after. Whoever Berthe
Knatvold Hellett may be, she is a
writer OF great ability. The quiet
reserve and homely truth OF her
story put her in the first rank. The
illustrations are by Leone Bracker
and are as splendid as the story.
A new serial story by Meredith
Nicholson begins in this number. II
Is called The Proof OF the Pud-
ding" and It has TO do with the
growing evil OF the fast set" which
is finding Its way from the great
metropolis 10 the smaller cities.
