but Twain wrote them all the same and
they will be the worlds property soon
or late.
I confess a lack Of consuming curios-
ity about and thirst for these unpub-
lished pieces, for Mark Twain, as a
philosopher, does not arouse my ad-
miration. AS literary artist, as a
humorist, and as a satirist, nc was,
believe, one of the great figures in the
literature of his century. But to me
his philosophy is no revelation. 1t

'EHE next book pick up is "Thc
Glory Of Going On" by Elwin Lin
coin House, D. D. The publishers re-
cord their belief on the jacket Of this
book that "Dr, House has brought to
bear on to-day's unparalleled situation
mind richly stored with knowledge.
which he uses to illustrate his points
and conclusions.'
One turns in haste to discover what
this unparalleled situation is. and on
page Up we discover that it is prob
ably that; "All notions Of propriety
have been swept to the winds in the
mad revolt against the customs Of the
past. The whole earth is being searched
for oddities and styles, for freakishness
Of shape and neWncSs Of colors.
There is no doubt that man is more
sensual than woman. Man is affected
by the dress Of woman for purity of
thought or sensuality of action. And
the nature woman must know as the
bad woman does that she is attract
ing attention from the male sex by her
mode Of dress, else why The custom of
the theaters and circuses Of the women
nude or in tights or the exposure of
lingerie?" There's q question for you.
Why?

~ NE Of the difficulties always
n h encountered by new editor
when he takes over book re
view department is that of
finding on the Office shelves a book in
teresting enough for review. His pred
ecessor, with that bibliomania which
corrupts all bookmen, has always
carted away all of the books which
may be of the least possible interest
to anybody.
Thus Mr.. Broun left, l think, but
two books, "The Annual Report of the
Smithsonian Institution and "a His
tory of st. Georges Church in the City
Of Schenectady" and when Mr.. Ham
mond examined the shelves in Chicago
after | had decampcd he was CON
strained TO whet his irony on "Thc
American Stage and Lyccum in the
World War and "The Foreign Trade
of China" in the Columbia University
Series Of Political Science. To his
successor Mr.. Hammond wasn't even
that generous.
Upon my arrival TT this Office I was
overwhelmed by the plentude OF books
about. 1t looked as though my work
were cut out for me. picked up the
first volume that lay to hand. 1t was
Sales Talks; Being a Series of Man
to-Man Articles, instructive and in
splratlonal and written for the purpose
Of increasing and helping in the de-
Velopment of personal and business eff
1iclency." On the first page of this
excellent book | was inspired and in
structed by the following apothcgms:
ut Is surprising what man is able
to accomplish if he sets his head and
heart on single purpose.
MANY a man has made good in a
crisis,
"Thc most successful business man
is the one who does not give up easily
ut is all right to wish, but to mako
the wish come true takes the best that's
IN mon and women.
Every day should see some move
mont toward getting new business.
"You never need to be out of ideas,
not if you think"
There seems to be no chance for
argument here. The book reviews it,
self.
The next book is "Motionism; or, The
Worlds True Rcligion.' The preface
says, modestly enough: THE chief aim
OF this little book is to point out a key
truth which Is named herein Motion
key or the sense-found trinity Simple
inspection is all that is needed to show
that this particular truth is sample
OF common ordinary motion in which
The two wcll-known phenomena Of mat
teI and mind become one or blend to-
eether into motional difference. y
There Is no need for me to read on.
It's over my head.
