MuslcaI Comedy.

By N. p. D.

WHAr Brinsiey Ma'Nnmara says a!
w of the reception given by the
Irish people to his novel The Valley
of the Sguinting Windows recalls those
thrilling and truly exciting times of
The PlGyboy of the Western World,
when Mr.. Roosevelt himself took a
hand in the scrap, and Lady Gregory
was posted in the stage fireplace to en-
courage the petri6ed players, when the
bedlam broke loose. Mr.. MacNamara
says the people of the district, who
thought they were lbelled by his unroman-
tic treatment of them, burned his book,
"after the best medieval fashion, and
resorted to acts Of healthy violence"
Yet the story is as strong, In its way, as
some of the Synge plays themselves, and
will haunt everybody who reads it as
long as Riders to the Sea.
Although either is no doubt hazardous
undertaking, it would seem safer to write
an Irish novel than play. You can hiss
and caterwaul and throw things in a
theatre, and otherwise show your disap-
provaI in a more direct and impressive
and intimate way than is possible with
a book. But it is easy to see that if
the Irish objected to boy Boosting of
having murdered his "da," they would OBJ
ject to The Valley Of the Squirting
Windows, which is a picture Of almost
unrelieved dirt and vileness In a small
Irish village.
The gossip and SANDER of a small
town has generally been used by writers
for humorous purposes, but there is moth
ing humorous in Mr.. MacNamara's por-
trayd Of the people of Garradrimna,
almost all Of whom, from the policeman to
the priest, would rather hear something
evil of their neighbor than have drink
which is saying a good deal for Garrad-
rimna- The time when the clean
young man studying for the priest
hood is seen reeling out of one Of
the seven public houses in the town
is described as one of 'the greatest days"
in Garradrimna's history.
Looking back, We recall only one really
kind and unselfsh act in the entire story

No adequate comprehension of the his
tory of the American civil war Of 1861
1865 is attainable without knowledge of
the hfe of Jefferson Davis, the President
of the Southern Confederacy; and no
where that we know of can his biography
be more proftably studied than in the
volume contributed by Mr.. Armistead c.
Gordon to this series of Figures from
american History. The author, being a
Southener, writes alphabetically of the
attitude Of the seeding States toward the
great questions which gave rise to the con-
flict; vet we have discovered nothing in
his book, either by way of statement Of
fact or expression of opinion, which can
give offence to any Northern reader. This
is at it should be. Mr.. Gordon says truly

after the school teacher going into exile
with her disgrace. Even the beggars gain
their aims by blackmail. Barrie would
find something humorous in a postmis-
tress who reads the letters, and burns
hem on occasion, but Mr.. MacNamara
makes of her a really malignant and hor-
-ible creature, as also the town drunkard
who, although so, "got drunk every day
and never went TO mass" and almost
everybody else In the book.
There is something touching and almost
mystic in the character of young Bren-
nan, and also, as the author himself says,
the story Of John Brennan's mother is
mot without its pathos"-"for it was
strange to think of her reading the holy
books to him cher drunken husband) in
the long quiet evenings, all the while he
despised her for what she had been with
a hatred that all the magnanimous ex-
amples of religion could not remove" The
two brief sentences that end this bitter
story contain the essence Of pathos
and tragedy
40 Jesusr she said.
"There were two Of them now"
There were two, that is, the father and
the son, to- whom the woman would need
to read the holy books in the long quiet
evenings, and for whom she would need
to sit at her machine during the longer
days. For, like The Widow in the Bye
Street, Mrs. Brennan stitches all day long
for her son. 1t is a source of enormous
pride to her, and a manner Of atonement
also for sin which Garradrimna never
permitted her 10 forget, that her boy
should be away preparing for the priest
hood in grand college in England
a charity school, as a matter of feet.
1t is to do honor to her son that when
he returns for his holidays, instead OF
meeting him with the familiar ass and
cart, she hires the one automobile in Gar
radrimna, and does not finch when tho
driver entertains her with the following
leering and subtle reference to her past
at must be grand and blessed thing for
a mother to go TO confession TO her SON.
Now wouldn't it be wonderful to think of

he was born or before she married his

mental Congress, War Governor Of Vir-
ginia, Minister to France, Secretary Of
State and Chief Executive Of the nation,
that we are apt to forget that he pre-
viously practised law successfully for seven
years, during which he made $4,000
year, which was a handsome professional
income indeed for a Virginia lawyer in
those days. Nevertheless he never looked
kindly upon practitioners of the law, whose
trade it was, he said, "to question every
thing, yield nothing and talk by the hour"
He contrasted the satisfaction of the
physician who could recall the lives he
had saved, with the lawyers miserable
recollection of the many who by his dex-
terity had been cheated out of their rights
and reduced to beggary. From such I'M
Just reflections it Is a relief to turn to the
noble achievements recorded by himself
in his epitaph which reads:
Here Was Buried
Thomas Jefferson,
Author of the Declaration Of
American Independence
The Statute of Virginia
For Religious Freedom and
Father Of the University of Virginia
We may add that his pride in the Uni
Eersity would probably suffer a shock if
he could know how far his administrative
ideals have been disregarded in the re-
cent management of that great institution
of learning.

Mrs. Brennan A second homecoming
of the son (before he is due) is described,
when the mother does not meet him-not
even with the little ass and cart. 1t is
the one purely tender passage in the
story.
I'm sorry about last night, john" she
said. "Pm sorry, darling; but surely l
could not bring myself to do it. Even
for few hours wanted to keep them
from knowing. even wanted to keep
your father from knowing. So 1 did not

curses of him all through the night were

planter in company with his brother, and
the study and discussion of politics, gov
eminent and literature. In 1845 he was
elected Representative at Large in Con-
gress, and thereafter until the outbreak
of the civil war, except during the inter-
val of his military service in Mexico, he
represented his State either in the House
or Senate. On January q, 1861, ne
babe a formal farewell to the United
States Senate and on February 9 the Con-
grcss of the COnfederacy elected him Pres
ident. After the assassination of Presl-
dent Lincoln, President johnson issued
proclamation declaring that the Bureau
of Military Justice had reported that IN
dubtable evidence established the comphe=
ity of Jefferson Davis in the crime and
offering 100000 reward for his arrest.
When Informed Of this, just after his
capture subsequent to the fall of Rich
mond, Mr.. Davis exclaimed TO Gen. James
II. Wilson that there was one man who
knew it TO be lie. by one man, sand
uen. NllSOH, SupPooC w" n'' S~
particular man" II do" Mr.. Davis re-
sponded, 81 mean the man Andrew
Johnsonl who signed the proclamation;
for he knew that would thousand times
rather have Abraham Lincoln to deal with
as President of the United States than to
have him." Mr. Gordon comedies, how
ever. that at the time of the imprison-
ment of jefferson Davis in Fortress Mon
roe the belief at the North was genuine
and widespread to the effect that he was
implicated in Lincoln's ASSASSINATION No
one now pretends that there was the
slightest basis in fact for this cruel fabri-
cation. Whatever may have been the
faults or misdeeds Of Jefferson Davis,
they were those Of statesman, not
criminal.
The series of HISTORICAL biographies in
augurated by these two volumes should be
OF service in many schools and town and
Village Libraries and at many firesides
throughout the length and breadth of the
land.
