Best Sellers Of Yesteryear.
From the New Tork World.

Casting its computations backward
through the quarter century ending

much in demand in 1ssS-7-s that even
now it tops the hundred best-sellers

ley Weyman's shrewsbury" But at
the same time we put an appreelative
mind to S. Weir Mitchell's Hugh

we took "Mr. Dooley in Peace and
War as q readers aperi4if
In 1SSS-l900 Winston Churchill cast
a spell with Richard carvel" It was
in 1900 that Irving Bacheller went
over the top with -Eben Holden" !"

of US remember Paul Leicester Ford's
"Janice Meredith" in the years that
ended century. And there! another
lapse to take in Mr.. Barrie's "Senti-
mental Tommy" which We enjoyed
in 1861.
Mr.. Churchill writes for US in these
days IN occasional novel. but not an
other ~Carvel" or "coniston." We
have had recent returns of Anthony

PARADISE FOR THE INCIDENT
Stress of Modern Life Unknown
Among the Inhabitants of the
Marquesas Islands.

Persons possessing $1,000 who like
the indolent life Of the tropics where
winter is unknown can spend the re-
mainder of their lives in the Marque
sas islands in the Pacific ocean, where
they need only work two hours day
to catch fish and pick bananas and
spend the remainder of the day watch
ing the skyblue sea wash lazily over
the golden sands.
The money would be required to pay
a second-class passage from one of the
Pacific coast ports, with outfit, and the
balance to purchase fertile land at 81
an acre.
The Marquesas are situated in 8 to IL
south latitude and 40 west longitude
and are of volcanic origin and noun
famous. They are under the French re-
public and the commissioner lives at
the island of Nukawa. There were
4,300 inhabitants in the islands when
the census was taken in 1900, but the
natives, who are Christians, have
dwindled away since tEen. There are
$500 square miles in the thirteen is
lands, which compose the Marquesas
group. The chief products are tropical
fruit, copra and mother Of pearl The
landing is difficult, as the shore goes
up like a wall from the sea.

PREMIER SAYS IRELAND
MUST ACT Immediately
Lloyd George Declares Time for Note
Writing Is Past-To Meet
Delegates Again.

London, Aug. 27.-In rejecting the
British settlement terms Ireland
turned down wider range Of rights
than enjoyed by the states of the
American Union, Premier Lloyd George
declared on Friday in his answer to
the Irish parliament's refusal to the
British peace conditions.
I'VE cannot prOl0ng the mere ex-
change Of notes." said Premier Lloyd
George.
ut is essential that definite and i'm
mediate progress be made toward
basis whereupon further negotiations
can usefully proceed.
Further negotiations are futile I'M
less there is some definite progress
made towards the acceptance Of
basis
your letter seems to us, unfortu-
nately, to show no such progress If
you are prepared to examine how far
these considerations can be reconciled
with the aspirations you present will
be happy to meet you and your col
leagues.
I'm demanding that Ireland be
treated as separate sovereign power
You are advancing aims which the
famous leaders Of Irish history ex-
plictty disowned.
THE British government offered Ire
land all that O'Connell, Thomas and
Davis asked, and more; we met the
unqualified demand that we recognize
Ireland as foreign power.
''Under the settlement which we
outlined, Ireland would control every
nerve and fiber of it's national exist
ence. She would be free In every
aspect of national activity and devel-
Opment.
''The states Of the American Union,
sovereign though they be, enjoy no
such range of rights.
''We are reluctant to preciptate the
issue, but profongation of the pres
ent state of affairs is dangerous and
action is being taken in various di-
rections which, If continued, will pref
udfce the truce and ultimately lead
to its termination. This would be de-
plorable."

RELIC OF MEDIEVAL TIMES
Sacred City of Mongolia Has But
Thin Veneer of the CiviIiza-
ton of Today.

Urga, sacred city of the Living Bud
dha, lying far to the north of Mon
golia, is a relic of medieval times over
laid with a veneer Of twentieth cen
fury civilization, and is city of vio-
lent contrasts and glazing auachron-
isms. 1t was used as base of sup
plies by Roy Chapman Andrews, lead
er of the second Asiatic geological ex-
petition of the American Museum of
Natural History.
Motor cars pass camel caravans
fresh from the Cobb desert; holy Ia
mas in bright robes walk side by side
with black-gowned priests and swarthy
Mongol women in the fantastic head
dress of their race stare wonderingly
at the latest fashions of their Rus
sian sisters, relates correspondent of
the Detroit News. Three great races
have met in Urga, and each carries
on it's own customs and way of life.
The MongoIs felt-covered home has
remained unchanged; the Chinese shop
with It's wooden counter and blue
gowned inmates is still pure Chinese,
and the ornate cottages proclaim
themselves to be Russian.
Men from all races and corners of
the earth gamble together. All Mon
golia lives on horseback, and Mongol
will never walk even a hundred yards
if he can help it. Summer in Mon
golia is short at best, and in the win
ter the temperature drops to so and
go degrees below zero, and the great
plateau is swept by biting winds from
the Siberian steppes.
