Spanish-American war songs, including
the famous Hot Time in the Old ToUn, OF

Of the great war, British and American.
The general effect of these chapters IS
that of genial kind of scrappiness, little

music reproduced is that of Dan Emmets

TN The Story of Our National Ballads
l. c. A. Browne retells the familiar
tales of the best known songs which, with
the exception of Yankee Doodle, can
scarcely be styled ballads at all. In addi-
ton to setting down the facts of the origin
OF such songs as Hal, Columbia; The Star
Spdngled Banner, america, Dirie and the
most popular of the civil war songs, Mr..
Browne introduces into his sketches
enough of the history of the periods in
which they were written to give them
background and show something of the
circumstances that led to their being born.
Twelve chapters are devoted to the most
familiar of our national songs and there
are added chapters on occasional songs,
chiefly those of the civil war period, al
though Annie Laurie, which is included,
was written long before that time; on

Seven Stories by Hergesheimer

ON putting down the book containing
" seven short stories by Joseph
Hergesheimer and called The Happy End
this reviewer could not help wondering
why a man who could write stories of so
exquisite romantic beauty as Rosemary
RoseHe and The Thrush in the Hedge (the
last two tales In the volume) should want
to write such realism as Bread and The
EsyptiGn Chariot or the episode Of the ac-
tress in Lonely Valleys.
To those who remember Mr.. Hergesheim-
er's The Lay anthony the last three tales
we have mentioned will be reminiscent
of the sophomore realism of that story,
Anglo-Saxon realism, which can be frank
about brutality, but draws the line of
prudery at the point where a Frenchman
would go ahead gracefully and with no
loss of realistic art.
Bread is as ugly tale as this school Of
fiction ever produced-bald, unrelieyed
ugliness, vicious to its core. And where
the implication of the books title comes
In quite escapes this reviewer. To die in
sin, as August Turnbull did, is scarcely
"the happy end! Nor living on in that
state, obviously Meta Beggs's destiny,
happiness. This venture into theological
discussion is justified, for this reviewer at
least, by the tale called Bread, in the
course of which an ex-convict in search of
salvation finds it in what our less polite
circles would call "black and tan joint"
through hearing a colored woman in a
short skirt sing the hymn called The
Egyptian Chariot Here Mr.. Hergesheimer
falls back on that banality of fc-
tonizing moralists for his climax, that
the city represents Vice and that on turn
ing to the country Virtue must be found.
We leave these and the exotic picture Of
Italian life called The Flouer Of Spain
for the ineffable beauty of Rosemary Ro.
selle and The Thrush in the Hedge. Pos
sibly it was working in the world of old
Salem, which Mr.. Hergesheimer revived
for his readers in Jdud Head, that sug-
gested this meter of Rosemary RoselIe to
him. His introduction to it reads: at
would be better for my purpose if you
could hear the little, clear arpeggios of an
obsolete music box, the notes as sweet as

barley sugar; for then tho mood of Rose
mary Roselle might steal imperceptibly
into your heart. 1t is mads of daguerro-
types blurring on their liisted silver;
tenebrous Autographs solemn facades Of
brick with classic white lanterns lifted
against the inky smoke of burning city;
the pages Of lady's book, elegant en-
cravings of hoped and gallooned fe-
males; and the scent of crumbled flowers.
1t is all as remote as a smile re-
membered from youth"
And yet such is his command of his me.
dunn that be makes clear once more the
daguerreotype of Elm Meikeljohn and
Rosemary Roselle, blows high the smoke
of the burning Richmond of the civil war
spreads open the pages of Godey's before
us; and revives the withered flowers into
the odorous blooms of romance and youth.
The smile is no longer remembered from
youth" 1t dawns and breaks and spreads
its loneliness over dear face he brings
back to US from the grave!
And as he beglamours memory in this
fashion SO does he touch other emotions in
the story of Harry Beggs, the tramp who
is the possessor of that rare thing "nat-
ural barytone" voice, who is set on the
road to fame by the drug sodden French
Janin, the blind man who once "played
the violin at the Opera Comique" and
whose favorite tale was of how he once
led the finale of Hamlet, when the conduc-
tor was taken i'll. What a world of pas
sionate regret and remorse one feels in
old Janin's ending of his story: "There
were five slaves to conduct-at the Opera
Comique." 1t is only equalled when Mr..
Hergesheimer stands his Harry Beggs un-
der the gloom of maple tree on the lawn
of the rich mans house, sets him to sing
ing Don GioudnnfS serenade that old ia
min has taught him word for word; and
then pushes him toward the applauding
company on the porch.
AGO on and on" old Janin breathes be-
hind him; "and never come back any
more" and then the old musician 'turned
and shambled rapidly away into the shad-
ows, the obscurity, that lined the road"
This is the Hergesheirner that is worth
while, the artist working in his best and
happiest field. In his witty dedication to
the book he says of these stories: "They
brought me, in times of varying difficulty,
food" 1t is to be hoped that no more
difficulties will arise for him that will
cause him ever to stray downward from
the glades of Romance to the squalid al
leys of certain sort of Realism. Here he
is supreme. In the second he is out of
place, and his readers with him.

A Big Game Classic

CHARLES SHELDON'S The Wider
~ ness of the Upper Yukon that was
first published in 1911 has been brought
out In second edition, the sum total of
the changes being the addition of a few
footnotes to Chapter XX., few changes
in scientific names, and slight change in
the map of color distribution to conform
with additional information the author
has accumulated.
There has also been added an appendix,
by way of answering three articles that
have printed containing remarks which,
If true, contradict my statements In
Chapter Xxx. on the subject of horns,
pelage, and distribution of Sheep" Mr.
Nelson makes an excellent case for his
original statements based on extensive
personal study of the mountain sheep,
and the writer particularly enjoyed the
manner in which the author analyzes the
article by DR.. Rud Kowarzik on the
Geographical Distribution of Wild Sheep
in which Kowarzik, with, characteristic
Teuton assurance, attempts to bolster up
a theory held by Prof. Matschie on this
subject.
If there are any lovers of big game
hunting who do not know this fascinating
volume of Mr.. Sheldon's they will be well
advised if they get it at once. The many
excellent photographs and the color plates
by Carl Rungius add not little to its
charm.

No Business man in any town should
allow a newspaper published in his town
to 90 without his name and business be-
ing mentioned somewhere in its columns
This applies to all kinds Of business
general stores, dry goods, groceries, fur
niture dealers, manufacturing establish
ments, automobile dealers, mechanics,
professional men and in fact all classes
OF business men. This does not mean
that you should have a whole or half or
even quarter page ad in every issue Of
the paper, but your name and business
should be mentioned if you do not use
more than two-line space. A stranger
picking up a newspaper should be able
to tell just what business is represented
in town by looking at the business
mentioned in the paper This is the
best possible town advertiser. The man
who does not advertise his business
does an injustice to himself and his
town. He is the man who expects the
newspaper to do the most free boosting
for his town. The man who insists on
sharing the business that comes to a
town but refuses to advertise his busi-
ness is not a valuable addition. The
life of any town depends upon the live,
wide-awake and liberal advertising
