 Many splendid criticisms of "Myriam and the Mystic Brotherhood'' have been made by some of the foremost literary people of the country and many of the most widely read newspapers and maga- zines. among which is one from '.The Theosophic Messenger which says:
 The story brings into everyday life much that has heretofore been pecu- liarly associated with the secret and un- known. Reincarnation. Karma. the bring Ing through of nightly experiences in the other worlds, the great brotherhood with it's centers in different parts of the globe, limitations and masters; all subjects heretofore known to the occult student but rarely mentioned publicly. are brought forward and elucidated in most matter of fact way.
 "The author has brought all to a won derful climax in setting the great scene of the first initiation before the readers. She has been able, perhaps through the sacredness of her subject, to ensoul her very words descriptive of the sublime scene with a wonderful force and vi- tality.
 That Mrs. Howard has made won- derful beginning is certain. and with her grasp of occult truths and her courage in dealing with them it is hoped more books may come from her pen F. Willis Milton comments thusly:
 "This book carries with it a message of hope and uplift. It Is one of those rare works of fiction that radiate the true spirituality, based upon rational view of the world, and inculcating the noblest of teachings in respect to the development of individuals. or souls, through recurring earth lives. It can not but widen the purview increase the power and purpose of life, and bring peace inspiration to readers who are not already students of the hidden side of things. so interestingly set forth therein.
 While the book contains certain mat ters concerning the occult which are not in accord with fact as we know 1t. this may be set down, if we be in the right, as poetic license and allowaose. We most cordially recommend the work to all seekers for the truth. and to those who are already students of theosophy. or the true occultism. we urge that they endeavor to place it in the hands of those whose minds and hearts are open ing to the light"

TRAGEDY OF THE WHITE MEu
 CINEa

CINE''
 By Charles Edmund DeLane Tine
 Neale Publishing company publishers. New York.
 In the midst of our boasted eiviliza-
 ton we still enjoy pausing in our Tar Wanderings away from savagery to look back and try to catch some plimpse of the life of the almost anni-
 Inflated American Indian. Such glimpses however, are pleasurable only when some Inspired story teller portrays that life's rude beauty This feat has MT. DeLand accomplished in his "1'rag edy of the White Medicine" in which he takes us with him among the Da- kotahs. letting us witness drama, the result of the innocent but mystic doing of powerful pa1eface" The element of revenge. resulting in a strange tragedy, is vividly presented as
 relleoting the art of the paleface pictured h the imagination of the Indians But not in mystery alone does thls story
 abound. Love, we here find, knocks with equal insistence at the door of the savage
 and of the civilized, and the romance of Moonbeam and Swinging Bird sheds a bright light through the mystic cloud tha. surrounds the tale.
 Furthermore. Mir. DeIand is instinct With love of nature, and happily possesses the rare power of imparting that feeling to the reader. Without giving extracts
 from The Tragedy of the White Medl- cine 1t is almost impossible to convey an idea of the simplicity and picturesque- ness that mark it's telling; however, we feel that we may with assurance declare that this book deserves to occupy a
 unique place among the works of fiction.

'THB BIBLE AND MODERN IIFE2' By Joseph s. Auerbach. with fore
 word'' by the Right Rev. w. Boyd Car
 penter; Harper Brothers. publishers,
 New York.
 The author, Joseph S. Auerbacf, of this really notable work emphasizes not only the spiritual side of the Bible, but calls timely and eloquent attention to it's price, less vocabulary as a guide to forceful speech and writing. And with peculiar skill, and with what MT. Choate justly terms "a finished style which seems so rare an accomplishment in these modern days" there is thus pointed out the value of this book of books not only as the book or religion, but as book of mar velous literature.
 The press of the country and men of distinction have joined with unusual &C., cord in generous, unrestrained praise of this volume. Hear what some of them have to say:
 "A reverent. scholarly and illuminatine appreciation which will open the eyes of it's readers to the wonderful truth and beauty of the Bible."--The Right Rev. David H. Greer, bishop of New York.
 Timely. stimulating and impressive ''- The Right Rev. w. Boby Carpenter

Refuse. State Tax Demand.

Denver-The city commissioners.
acting as county board Of equaliza-
ton, has refused to adopt the recon-
mendations made by the Colorado
State Tax Commission. in which the
county board was ordered to raise the
assessed valuation of Denver county
$55, 100000. A resolution containing
nine specific reasons why the re-
fusal was made was adopted by the
county board and ordered sent to the
tax commission. The commission d.
rected that valuations be raised on
certain classes of property and the
county board -eplied that this could
not be done because the property is
already assessed as its full cash val
uation; that to follow the recommen-
dations of the state commission
would necessitate new assessment,
which the local board is without pow
er to make; that an average raise
cannot be made because Of the diver
sity of value. and that the recommen-
dations would necessitate violation of
the constitution.
