THE CARNIVAL OF DESTINY"
BY Vance Thompson. Moffatt. Yard &
Co, publishers, New York.
Vance Thompson's new volume en-
titled 1.-THE Carnival of Destiny" is
composed of eight short stories.
The first story is placed in those dark
ages when man had just evolved from
the animal; the next, thousands of
years later when a certain Pilatus was
governor in Jerusalem, and gave a
man from Nazareth to be crucified that
the mob might be appeased; then comes
the day when Attila and his Huns
swept ravaging over the empire, and
SO on through medieval times and
those just preceding the English res
toration to imperial France and New
York in 1s49, with, Edgar Allen Poe
as the central character. And in each
story appears woman with dull red
hair, woman supposedly one and the
same, incarnate in red-haired Magda-
len and queen and gypsy girl and
demoiselle, bringing vague recollec-
lions from her former lives and rec
ognizing each time with lightning
swiftness the man, like herself incar
nate, in many divers forms, whom she
is destined to love through the ages.
The ideas in all the stories are very
cleverly worked out and present set
of vivid pictures, the best perhaps, be-

HEARTS AND FACES"
BY John Murray Gibbon, The John I

By John Murray Gibbon, The John Lane
company, publishers, New York.
In John Murray Gibbons story, Hearts
and Faces" the author introduces his
hero, George Grange, as student in
Kings college, Aberdeen, a remarkably
ignorant lad, though having Toasted
somewhat upon poetry. Chance puts him
into the company of middle-aged painter
of strong convictions as to the only way
to study art He discovers that young
George has an aptitude that the boy him
self has never guessed For a time the
artist trains him according to his own
ideas, setting him to work at the very
beginning with colors and making him
study and endeavor to reproduce lights
and colors and forms and atmospheric
effects as they really are. Afterward the
young man goes to London, where he
works hard and attains success, and
later he lives and paints in Paris and
visits other European cities. Crossing
his life every now and then, from the
beginning of the story, is the sinister fig
ure of young Englishman of evil ma
ture. who develops all his native talent
for wickedness and spreads blighting in
fluence wherever he goes. Several wom-
en-, mostly bad, help to complicate the
action and to spin the threads that con-
next these two men in the same web of
life.
The author, Mr.. Gibbon, who is now an
official of the Canadian Pacific railway,
was earlier in life student in the art
schools of Paris and London, and there
he learned the manners and customs, the
methods, the tricks of the trade, the
thousand and one incidents, charactertics
and valuations with which he makes a
notably realistic picture of life in the art
circles of those two cities.

Saving Dollars With Electricity

From the Electric News Service
An electric lemon squeezer will ex-
tract the juice from a lemon in five
seconds by the watch. 1t is estimated
that one cent will pay for electricity
enough to squeeze 720 lemons.
Seven iron foundries compared the
cost of making their own electricity
and buying it from a central station.
They found total average saving Of
1872 cents per Horse power in favor
of central station power.

street cars now has an extensive use
in many car repair shops. 1t is ma

the electric drive, according to an en-

"THE BEASTS OF TARTAN"

BY Edgar fSlce BURROUGHS. llluSlrd-
lions by j. Allen ST. John; A. C. Nc
Clurg & Co., publishers, Chicago.
Mr. Edgar Rice Burroughs, in his
book entitled The Beasts of Tarzan,'
adds a third success to the series of
Tarzan stories, which shows that the
public likes the authors work and
reads him with great pleasure.
The plot has to do with a man-chi1d,
the only survivor of a massacre in the
African jungle, adopted by a band OF
anthropoid apes, trained in their ways,
linstinctively cropping his way back to
the level of his human kind by means
of the debris in the wrecked hut which
had been the scene of the diaster-a
picture book, tools, odds and ends,
which set his brain to working. His
headship of the brute tribe, won by
sheer strength, his leadership in which
intelligence won supremacy, and his I'LL
innate return to civilization, all
this made readable story.
Then there was call for more
of Tarzan and second story was writ
ten. Now comes the third. The VILLAIN
Gus Russian of the second story is
again to the fore. He kidnaps Tarzan.
his wife and child, and turns them
loose in different parts of Africa to
meet a terrible fate. The child is to
become a cannibal. Tarzan himself is
to be left helpless on an island off the
coast. But, of course, the ape-ma
triumphs. Again he fights gorillas,
bulls. lions and natives, naked and un-
armed. Again he feeds on raw meat
and claws and tears and pounds his
way to leadership In fact, the author
seems to take an increasing interest in
the brute element in his ape-man.
There is a great deal of sheer brutality
here told with great gusto. Another

ION BEING HUMAN

BY Woodrow Wilson. Harper Brothers,
publishers, New York
President Wilson's book entitled con
Being Human is a most valuable con-
tribution to the world
1t makes strong plea for a wide,
human point of view. "We do not want
he hays, "our poetry from gram
marians, nor our tales from philolo-
gists, nor our history from theorists.
Their human nature is subtly trans
muted into something less broad and
catholic and of the general world.
Neither do we want our political econo-
my from tradesmen, nor our statesman
ship from mere politicians, but from
those who see more and care for more
than these men see or care for"
Real humanity, says the distinguished
writer, consists in a wide sympathy
with ones fellows, sane, comprehen-
sive view of life. This may be gained,
he shows, through observation of men
and through the influence of human
books. In this time when the multitude
of details in our daily existence and
the necessity of specialization narrow
our natures, it is especially important,
he points out, that we do not lose sight
of the value of being human to the
man as an individual and as a citizen.
ION Being Human" is issued in the
same size and style as When Man
Comes to Himself the Presidents book
of last year.

Joan meets three bandits and the

COMPEL ADMIRATION

You can't help admiring a standard
bred bird That means good deal for a
mans business A merchants goods
must challenge the attention and please
the fancy of the customer. Otherwise
few sales will be made. Appearance is
half the battle.
Mongrels, and even crosses are at a
serious disadvantage in this respect. Now
and then an idvidual will show unusual
beauty, but take the flock as whole
and place it by the side of an equal num-
Der of thoroughbreds and the latter will
win out tenfold in commanding the adj
miration of the public. 1t is the pure bred
Clydesdales, Percherons, Hackneys, etc,
rather than the common nobreed county
plugs, that command the jealous admiral
horse shows. So it is with blooded cattle,
blooded dogs and blooded cats-and it is
just as true with blooded fowls. There is
an aristocracy of beauty and symmetry
and type that must never be overlooked
if the poultryman desires to do the big
gest things.
Say what you please of the utility side
of poultry culture; after all, every man is
a "fancier." He by far prefers the good
locker" Beauty even in beast wins
not only his devotion but his dollars.
The advantage works both ways, too.

COMMANDS HIGHEST PRICES

Who ever heard of fancy price for a
mongrel fowl? She Is invariably offered
at so much per pound, according to
current market price. One would be
laughed at if he were to offer mongre
fowls for sale on any other terms. They
are simply "hens," to be sold at from
60 cents to 81 apiece, according to weight
On the other hand, pure bred birds are
hens plus the hest breeding skill in
the world for 80 or possibly 1000 years.
The type has been fixed, the color has
been bred to a standard the tempera-
ment has become established and well

This is of great value to the poultry
man, whether he be in the business purely
as ''fancier.' or wholly as a. commercial
proposition. The prices he can command
and expect for his stock will be deter
mined by the standard quality of his
strain. Single birds of such standard bred
stock are frequently sold for hundreds
of dollars apiece. 1t is the pure blood
points that command the big figures
Mongrel stock has no standing whatever
in comparison with thorough reds in this
respect.
