PIRATES OF THE SPRING. BY Forest
Reid. Boston: Houghton Mifrlin Com
pany.
pirates OF the Spring" is
story of school boy life written by
the author of the interesting boy
book. "The Spring Song" The
friendships and jealousies which
make up the greater part OF the
story revolve around Beach Trail,
a quiet youth, with an actively
working conscience. Trails friend
ship for another lad in the school
a friendship so intense as almost
to amount to infatuation, is the de-
Gliding factor in Trails relations
to the rest OF the school. and even
plays an important part In the
development of his own character.
In working out this idea the au-
thor shows decided skill and innate
acquaintance with the psychology
OF boyhood. He depicts the trying
wears OF Adolescence with truth and
sympathetic understanding. In fact,
Il is a character study, rather than
a story which Mr.. Reid has writ
en-, and he has handled 1t with a
dclicacy and understanding that
commend il at once to the reader.

God himself could not blame her

Of Roberts affection for her.
Her lover did not attend this

CHAPTER ~.
Pnrtfes and Politics.

Early in his first Administration
President Roosevelt had advocated
the conservation Of woodland and
other natural resources, and he
worked steadily to that end
throughout both his terms of office
As a result, over forty million acres
were added to the national forests.
One OF the Tillman-Roosevelt con-
troversies arose from this project.
It appeared that the President had
accused Senator Tillman of having
something to do with the land and
lumber frauds in Oregon. A man
from that State, who went with us
to hear the speeches at the Senate
and who knew all ABOUT the situa-
ton, called it slightly shady az
fair, but questioned whether 1t was
quite bad enough to Justify the
President in accusing Tillman pub
licly. Although it did not ruin the
Senator's reputation, It left some-
what of . stigma on his public
career. However. Tillman did not
show a very strong case for himself.
nor was his speech as fiery
as some that he had made.
There had never been . greater
