Tin Cowrie Dass" Is
Out of Kipling's India

This particular book reporter has
i always held a private grudge
against Kipling for not letting him have
further knowledge of the artfully sug-
gested adventures OF Strickland of the
Police. We naturally thought of Kipling,
and more specifically of Strickland, in
reading lat one sitting and in complete
and joyous abandon to the pleasures of a
thoroughly good story the adventures of
Tin Coterie Dass, by Henry Miner Ride
out.
Not that Mr.. Rideout has in any sense
initiated Kipling; for as matter of fact
he writes in much better style than did the
kipling Of the earlier Indian tales and
with quite as much originality. But il
struck Us that the episode In the life Of
Mr.. RideOut's engaging hero set forth
here VAS just the kind Of an experience
Strickland must have had knowledge OF
and remained mute about through the pos
slble Incidence OF his creator.
There are some stories the reporter feels
Ire lAu>I iltL tell Ills IttlSpilS lbT lillS
may be delicacy Of feeling, as in the case
of ''news story" connected with death or
some private scandal, or-as a reporter
OF new books-from the desire not to
spoil the virgin experience to the reader
Of coming fresh to the pages of an ex-
citing and, absorbing tale. Mr.. Rideout's
story Of Tan CotSrie Dase falls within this
last named class Of prescriptions.
And so there remains TO say for it that
to those who know and love India and lis
Anglo-natiye worlds through Kipling's
pages, here is matter for an hours most
pleasureable renewal of such aequain-
tance. Since reading Amos Jadd we can
recall no story based on Indian life, its
mysteries, its passion, its romantic color
so wholly charming and thrilling as this
tale Of Mr. Rideout's It reflects al these
things as exquisitely as does a perfect
Indian pearl.

BY BARRETT H. CLARK.

I KNOW of no publisher who is in bust
L ness to amuse himself or for his
health, and very much doubt whether an
exclusively idealistic and philanthropic
publishing house would prove Of greater
benefit to the world than any other phil
anthrophic institution.
But there are publishers who take GER
tain jusifable pride IN issuing good
book, whether it sells or not, and who pos
sibly thrill with a perverse pride pre-
cisely il it fails to pay for itself. I know
one American publisher who told me he
was bringing out book he was positive
would not sell simply because he "hked
it, To complete the anecdote | might
add tie fanciful touch that the book
proved best seller-but it didn't.
The aim of Messrs BOni and Liverigiit,
it seems to me, in beginning the Penguin
Series is not altogether cleemosynary; bat
there Is Just enough idealism in the ven
ture to inspire me with the hope that it
may prove sufficiently remunerativc to
encourage the young firm to extend the
series.
As l understand, it is their, intention to
reprint forgotten or otherwise Gttle-read
works of well known writers. The first
four volumes are the result of this policy
and it is credihly stated that the fifth and
sixth are to include unpublished essays
by Mark Twain and Walter Patcr
The four volumes that have just APP
peared are remarkably interesting; they
comprise Ettle-known stories and essays
by well known writers: Lafeadio Hearn,
Henry James and Hermann Sudermann,
Mark Twain and Walter Pater will soon
take their place in the digniRed company
An imposing array. But let Us hazard
the hope that volume seven will introduce
US to new American writer.
And now for the books before US. Two
of them-Kavn,a and japanese Fairy
Tales, the former in particular-are i'm
portant additions to the increasing stock
of Hearn discoveries" These new dis
eoveries have been frequent lately, for
Dodd Mead have during the past two
years published three volumes OF excep-
tional interest, interpretations Of Litera-
tare and 4ppreciatioHs Of Poetry. While
these are only stenographic reports Of
students, they are 50 scrupulously exact
that very Little is lost Of the finish that
Hearn would doubtless have added if lie
The sun. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1916-1920, 1919-02-02
The First Four Books of the Penguin Series

had had an opportunity to look over the
proofs.
OF the two new Hearn volumes, Karma
is the more important. This contains, be-
sides the story that gives the book its
title, a sketch on ghosts, an article on
Bilal, the first muezzil, and long study
on China and the Western World Karma
is a story that produces an uncomfortable
sensation in one as Il some uncanny in
quisitor were looking deep down into
ones Utmost thoughts. It is tale of
mans struggle with himself, Of his re-
pentance and arduous atpnement. The
most highly finished and characteristic
work is, however, The First Mae1-in,
BilaI-a life of Mohamrned's faithful
friend and follower, the first who called
the Molammedans to prayer. l. breathes
the spirit Of the East and is written in
HearnS best manner, Il composite Of fluid
ease and chaste rcticence. China and the
Western World is an absorbing study of
the Yellow Peril one Of the few couvinc-
ing arguments I have seen on the subject.
The japanese Fairy TdLeS-twenty in
all-are charmingly related, though only
the first four come from Hearn's pen.
Hearn's love OF the supernatural IS given
free play in his contributions. The six
teen other tales are perhaps less brilliant
than the first four, but are none the less
attractive.
The third volume includes one long
short story and three short sketches by
Hermann Sudcrmann.
IoIdnthe's Wedding is one of the Prus-
sian writer's earliest works. Here, as in
the better known Dame Care, we are
offered the spectacle Of a group Of East
Prussian eharaeters-in this case n
strangely grotesque lot. IosantAe's We'd
ding is a tale of lovers woes, which up
to the last page seem destined to end
tragieally, but by deft if not very COIL
vineing stroke they are quickly given a
new turn SOr the sake of happy con-
clusion.
I have not read the original Ioiaathe's
H0ch-eit and | cannot therefore speak
with authority on the merits Of the trans
lation as a faithful rendering of the
authors style and spirit, but L may re-
mark in passing that the work done by
Adele s. Setter is spirited in the ex-
IRENE; her style is buoyant and at times
almost reckless; it carries the story along
at what feel must BE- the t~7i-.p intended

N OUBLEDAY, PAGE & COMPANY,
" who published CaraIrn of the

~ who published CdvaEry of the
Clouds, by Capt. Alan Bot of the
British Royal Flying Corps, have re-
ceived from Capt Bot letter in which
he relates his adventures as follows:
II had received no correspondence at
al-not even from home-for eleven
months. You may have heard that was
wounded and captured IN Palestine last
March, my aeroplane being shot down in
flames. I was only a prisoner for four
months, but spent two more in escaping.
/ made four attempts to get away and
was recaptured three times, but succeeded
the fourth. got into hospital in Con-
stantinople by sharnnling mental derange-
ment and made my plans while there. I
escaped with an Australian captain
named White. We knocked about Con-
stantinople for two or three weeks
White being disguised as frowsy Turk
and myself as sometimes German officer
in mutt and sometimes Russian sailor.
We then slowed away on a dirty little
tramp steamer crossing the Black Sea to
Odessa. The Turkish police searched The
boat SIX times, but we managed TO dodge
them by hiding in the ballast tanks under
the propeller shaft, right at the bottom
Of the ship. At Odessa We got false pass
ports as Russians, lay low in a small room
IN the Bolshevik quarter and kept clear
Of the German and Austrian troops. We
even got bread and sugar rations on the
strength of our false passports. We were
both i'll for time, but when We recov-
cred We made arrangements with the Cos
sack army lighting the BoIsheviks in
the Don country to travel with the En-
tente troops in Siberia. Then we heard
that the Allies were occupying Bulgaria,
so we stole to the docks at nighttime and
boarded ship that was to leave next
morning for Varna ION the Bulgarian
COAST. A Russian general disguised as
an engineers mate and one of our spies
came with US. From Varna we travelled
to Sophia and joined the British army Of
occupation. I then motored down TO
Salonica, shipped to Egypt, trained to
Palestine on special duty and few up TO
Damascus. Afterwards I returned TO
Egypt, wasted an awful lot of cash at
Cairo, Alexandria and Port Said"

by Herr Sudcrmann. Not very Prussian,
this!
And finally we have IN early and prac-
tically unknown tale by Henry James,
Gabrielle de Bergerac. Gabrielle de Ber-
gerac is no finished masterpiece ike Tho
Turn Of the .Scre,o or The Read Thing,
but it Is one Of the most striking ex-
amples Of the sort of story which con-
vincingly evokcs sense of the past.
Read this romantic tale in the light Of the
writer's words TO be found toward the
close Of A Small Boy and Others, where
he says:
for he it was his old
friend N. Ansiot. bookseller in Bou-
loSne who most literally smelt OF the
WEAK temps. Thus he inl-
pressed me as with an absolute ancientry
Of type, of tone, of responsible taste,
above all this last, mean, in literature.
I must have had told. N this
mere sovereign sample Of the accidentally,
the quite unconSciou~iy and unprcten-
tiously, the all ncgligibIy or supcr!Iuously
handed down, Of Il rare ease of the pro-
yincial and academic caistrc.
| shouldn't without him have been able to
claim, for whatever it may be worth, 4
tenth lat that let me handsomely put it)
of nv working sense of this yieux
temps"
Gabrielle de Bergcydc Is the result Of
James vicarious experience Of the Golden
time'-in this instance the time iInmedi-
ateiy preceding the French Revolution.
The student of James will, of course, try
to discover in this youthful work indica-
lions of the later Henry James. but he
viii discover few traces of the mature
writer here. and he Will perhaps sigh at
BowI was at one time capable Of writing
SO engaging and cameolke story as
Gabrielle dc Bergerac.
These four little books have afforded
me peculiar pleasure: I have enjovcd
glimpses Of three writers whose every as
pect is arresting and variety of impress
sion and adventure that is rarely to he
met with in newer books.

SEATTLE TO BUY CAR LINES

Approval by the state supreme court
of a S25,0O0,OOO Seattle street car pur-
chase bond issue, clears the way, ae-
cording to a statement issued this
week by Mayor Ole Hanson for the
immediate purchase by the city of the
lines and plants of the Puget Sound
Traction Co.
Mayor Hanson has fought long for
the purchase of these lines. In his
statement a few days ago he pointed
out that the proposed purchase will
make Seattle the largest municipal
owner of public utilities in America,
as the city will own practically all its
car lines, all its water system, port
facilities and light and power plants.
"Seattle will be the first American
city" he said "to gain control of vir-
tually all its car lines.
The Mayor said the city would prob
ably take over the lines within a
month. They will be paid for from
their earnings.

GELLATLY GULL APPLE BILL
KILLED IN SENATE TUESDAY

The Gellatly Gull apple bill, house
bill No. 81, was killed in the senate
Tuesday without a struggle. Follow
ing the hearing on Monday the com
mittee unanimously agreed upon
postponement of the bill and the SEN
ate the following day adopted the
recommendation The measure was
overwhelmingly opposed in the SEN
ate because the fruit growers had
shown the danger of the experiment
on which one of the greatest indus
tries of the state would be launched
by the bill. The fruit growers are
getting on a firmer basis every year,
and it was felt that this was not the
time to experiment with new condi-
tions. With two-thirds of the senate
agreed on this question, the friends of
the bill, who believe that a moral is
sue is at stake, decided not to tie up
needed legislation by a fight on this
bill in the last week of the session.
Iverson, of Kitsap, served notice that
he would move to reconsider the bill.

House Bill No. 5, an act relating to
the employment of honorably dis
charged soldiers and sailors of the
United States, and their widows, in
the public departments and upon all
public works of the state of Washing
ton and of any county thereof, and

widows, and honorably discharged
soldiers and sailors, and their widows,
of the Spanish American war and the
Philippine insurrection, and of the
war with Germany and her allies, and
their widows, shall be preferred for

ment, which does not in fact incapaci-
tate, shall not be deemed to disqualify

ness capacity necessary to discharge
the duties of the position involved.
House Resolution No. 4.-Whereas

ployment of honorably discharged
soldiers and sailors of the United

without an emergency clause, and
Whereas many public works con-
tracts will be entered into before said
bill can become a law, and
Whereas it is desirable that all pub
lie officials having charge of the let
ting of public contracts be immedi-
atelyadvised as to the provisions of
said act.

ANOTHER IRRIGATION PROJECT

Preliminary work on the 100000
job of widening and deepening the
head of the Spokane river at Occur
dAlene, Idaho, for the purpose of
draining 25,000 acres of overflowed
lands has been started. 1t is esti-
mated that the land, now worthless,
will be worth $50 to 500 per acre
when the work is completed. Fred
E. Wannacott, former assessor of
Kootenai county, has been appointed
appraiser of the drainage district en-
bracing the lands in the Coeur d'Alene
valley. C. R. Reynolds, assessor of
Benewah county, will act in a similar
capacity for the district which en-
braces lands in the st. Joe Valley.
The project has been favorably re-
ported on by L. T. Jesseph, drainage
engineer for theUnited States depart
ment of agriculture.

YAKIMA GROWERS COMBINE

Yakima fruit growers are planning
the formation of a pool to handle all
orders for boxes and paper for valley
orchardists during the coming year.
1t is estimated that growers use over
100000 apple boxes annually, repre-
senting an investment of over ST.
100000.
While few apple box contracts have
been closed by Wenatchee growers, ne
gotiations are being conducted by lead
ing buyers with view to establishing
a standard price for the coming sea-
son. Growers will insist on a better
grade than was supplied last fall, as
complaints were numerous that much
box lumber mildewed due to being i'm
properly seasoned.

TEN MILLION SUBJECTS

Ten million dollars it is claimed has
been sent into this country to pay for
bolshevistic propaganda that reaches
approximately ten million people.
Chicago, New York and Seattle are
labeled as the chief distribution CEN
tiers. Of course there is much propa-
ganda being disseminated without
payment and without charge by those
who hope to profit later from the
wreck they help produce.
Bolshevism has become the nations
sewer; into its ranks fall all failures
who have become embittered, the
cranks, the illiterate, the anarchists,
the criminally inclined, the l. w. W.,
the labor parasites, and the unas-
simulated foreigners. They meet and
merge in bolshevism, each absorbing a
little poison from the other, and each
giving out his own particular ist or
ism in exchange.
It is imported filth and poison; this
land of the free could never give birth
to such a mongrel. So watch out for
the publication that upholds Lenine
and Trotsky; which shouts that the
capitalistic press has distorted the
news from Russia about the bolshe-
visits; which advocates soviet rule, and
which in general advocates that this
country be patterned after Russia.
