1.-THE SOUL OF ANN RuTHLEDGE :" By Bernie Babcock. Frontispiece in
 color by Gayle HoskIns. J. B. Lipin-
 colt company publishers, Philadel-
 phia.
 The story of Lncoln's love for Ann Rutledge and it's moulding power in his after-life has never been adequately told before. Mrs. Babcock, in studying the life of Lincoln, found that while many writers mention Lincoln's friend ship for the beautiful Ann Rutledge, none of them seems 10 realize the in- fuence on his after-life of this early love affair. The Soua of Ann Rut- ledge" presents to the millions of Am orleans who revere Lincoln an ade- quate portrayal of Lincoln's romance, of Lincoln's youth In hrs first flower of enthusiasm, his struggle for an edu- cation, his moral and religious develop ment, has extraordinary genius for distinguishing right from wrong, and. not least his capacity for true and devoted love. Lovely Ann, whose great-grandfather was one of the signers of the Declara.,on of Independ- ence. had . rare gift of song and un- ueua1 endowments of mind and char acter. The youth, soon 10 be admitted to tho bar. wooed ana won her after q long probation, and his profound af- fection became an equally great sor- row when the beautiful romance ended. The story revives, in the pioneer setting of the time, ono of tho rarest and most exquisite love stories in history. The broken romance made lasting impression upon Lincolns life and character.

MI or long ago a little ooterie as UNI sembled and discussing num- ~O Der of favorite actors and actresses one of the little group said:
 You know the actor that I per- fectly adored in the days gone by was Denman Thompson; I mean The Old Homestead Denman Thompson. I still love to muse over the magic words. "The Old Homestead!" What a flood of memories they start! Where is the person I wonder who dosn't recollect that wonderful play of other days and Whitcomb' such & celebrated char acterT
 Indeed Denman Thompson so imor- talized the homely old father that he became better known as Josh Whit comb than by his own name" the man continued, and as he planed the role of the old farmer for so many years without losing any of its popularity it came in time to seem like portrayal of his own character"
 Tt was the very homeliness-the simplicity of the play that caused it to appeal so forceahly to the hearts of all sorts of people" he said, land 1t was upon the sensitive chords of the human heart that the actor played from the moment that the curtain rose : to the final fall"

Imagine the farm hands assembling in the pala- tial twenty-five room house, to wash up in one of the elegant bath rooms Bucket to an accompaniment played by an orchestra or on a pipe organ"
 T don't know why I'm so critical of The Old Homestead that Denman Thompson lived in," said the man, ''but somehow 1t was rather disillusining to find that my ideal actor who to me was really Josh Whitcomb lived In a palatial palace insteal of a real old Homestead"
 The conversation led to another phase which is rather interesting in this day and. time when the Back to- the arm' movement is abroad in the land and one of the little coterie said
 There is of course an ideal as well latter is more like the ideal than he used to be. The real farmer of tho part; the Josh Whitcomb' type-ap- pears to be fast dying out; there is not much money to be made in farms nowadays, carried on by The Old Homestead process, could farm hands singing about the old oaken bucket

 born in Germany, they looked like Germans, they rolled their r's in an altogether German manner. and they were German subjects-which they did not in the very least want to be. When the war broke out their father had been dead for some years, and their mother took them straight to England. There she, too, presently died, leaving the twins to the care or an aunt and uncle-her sister and her sisters hus- band. The uncle meant well, especially at first, which was "in those days of the war when England was still re- garding Germany as more mistaken than vicious, and was as full as ever of the tradition of great and elabor- ate indulgence toward zoe" But as time went on, Uncle Arthur found the presence in his house of a pair of twin girls rather exasperating, placing him in the position of the proverbial hen with ducklings-who didn't know what to do or where to tur~-

present circumstances could not be

adjacent to the French frontier con-
stitutes a more prompt, secure and
business-like method of compensation
for the destruction of the French coal
mines; at the same time, by stipulat-
ing that the value Of the mines should
be credited to the reparation account
due from Germany, it makes full use
of them as a means of payment on the
general account of reparation.
"ln some points your letter Of the
18th seems to have been written under
a misapprehension as to the mean
ing and purport of certain articles in
the scheme. There is not, as you
suggest, in the treaty any confusion
between trade contracts to be estab-
lished for delivery of coal from the
Ruhr district, and the cession of the
Saar mines, the two questions are es-
sentially distinct.
"The Interpretation which you in
your letter place upon Clause SO of
the annex assumes that the effect of
this clause will be to bring about
result which emphatically is not one
which the Allied and associated gov
ernments ever contemplated. In order
to remove any possibility of misunder-
standing, and in order to avoid the
difficulties which you apprehend as to
Germany's ability to effect the pay
ment in gold, contemplated in this
clause, the Allied and associated gov
ernments have decided that some al
formation is desirable; they propose,
therefore, to substitute for the last
paragraph of the said clause the fol-
lowing:
"'The obligation of Germany to
make such payment shall be taken
into account by the reparation COM
mission, and, for the purpose of this
payment, Germany may create prior
charge upon her assets or revenues
upon such detailed terms as shall be
agreed to by the reparation commits
sion.
"If, nevertheless, Germany after a
period of one year from the date of
which the payment becomes due shall
not have effected the said payment, the
commission shall do so in
accordance with such instructions as
may be given by the league of nations,
