LOST OR sTRAYED: One

LOST OR STRAYED: One poet,
swart, bearded, lusty and prolific, an
swering to the name of Robert Browning.
He was something of character monol-
ogist, and in that capacity talked a great
deal with a certain indifference, and was
constantly surrounded by crowd of Sc
rious people, who we're busy fitting mean
ings to what he said. His favorite haunts
were England, Venice, the Italian Re-
Nuisance and the weekly meetings Of
Browning clubs. Virtue will literally re-
ward any one furnishing information that
will lead 10 the discovery of his present
whereabouts.

Boy Scouts Book
of Good Stories
,71HE BOY SCOUTS BOOK OF STO.

1.-THE BOY SCOTS BOOK OF STO-
Il RES comes TO us quite properly
during the week of the great Scout drive.
1t contains eighteen short stories selected
by the Chief Scout Librarian, Franklin
K. Matthews, who sets forth in breezy
introduction the claim that they are all
stories written for grownups but also Of
interest to boys in their early teens. Now
it doesn't matter particularly, but we just
mention in passing that some Of the sto-
ries are distinctly not written for grown
ups-The Great Big Man by Owen john
son, for instance, to which Mr.. Matthews
Shas unsccountably given first place; and
The Lac by Hermann Hagedom and two
straight ahead Scout stories. The great
est value of the book is that the other
sort predominates, as the regulation boy
stuff can be found in any number of
Scout Year Books and appears constantly
in the magazines.
The Jumping Frog, ghost stories by
CUTLER Couch and Bulwer Lytton, sea
stories by Norman Duncan and Morgan
Robertson, are things that all boys should
read and might not find unless blessed
with parents who put them in the way of
good reading. Robert Louis Stevenson
is here of course, represented by The
Story Of the Bandbor, and o. Henry, by
The Ra~som Of Red Chief. Sherlock
Holmes and Penred are not forgotten.
But where is Kiplingf We wish that
something of his were here-a selection
from Stalky d Co., perhapsl
Mr.. Mathews's book will furnish the
ideal gift for boys who have reached the
awkward age in this respect as well as
Others. After boy of Scout age has the
hiking outfit, few knives, bats and box
ing gloves, any suggestion as to further
gift possibilities should be more than well
come. The Boy Scout Book Of Stories
added to the library for the benefit of
visiting youths would be rice memento
of Scout week.
