First printed at the DavoS Press by
Lloyd Osborne and with a preface
by the same. Charles Scribner's
Sons.
r row many Of his readers know
RI that Robert Louis Stevenson
= ! was wood engraver as well
as poet, novelist, essayist, writer of
classic letters? Like Victor Hugo.
Thackeray and other authors whose
fame is chiefly based upon skill of
another kind, r. j.. S. possessed a
distinct gift of design. And this little
volume gives proof. Picture and text
are new ip the commercial sense.
Part of the material went through
Lloyd Osborn's hand press. The rest
has never been seen in print before.
Lloyd Osborne's introduction is ons
of the most delightful pieces of lit
erary Renaissance that has ap-
peared for a long time. He recalls
the time when he lived at Davos,
Switzerland with his mother and
stepfather. He refers to himself in
the third person, thus:
THE little boy thought 1t was a
very jolly place. He loved the to-
bogganing. the skating, the snow
balling; loved the crisp, tingling air
and the woods full of Christmas
trees, glittering with icicles. Nor
with his toy .theater and printing
press was the indoor confinement
ever irksone. He but dimly appre-
ciated that his stepfather and mother
were less happy In so favored spot.
His mothers face was often anxious;
sometimes he would find her crying.
His stepfather, whom he idolized,
was terribly thin, and even to child
ish eyes looked frail and spectral.
The stepfather was an unsuccessful
author named Robert Louis Steven
son, who would never have got along
at all had it not been for his rich
parents in Edinburgh. The little boy
at his lessons in the room which
they all shared grew used to hear
ing a sentences that struck at his
neart. Perhaps it was ths tone it
was uttered in; perhaps the look of
encouragement and depression that
went with it.
Fanny. shall have to write to
my father"
Young Osborne set up a small
press and got the contract to print
programs for the weekly concerts at
the Hotel Belvidere. The price was
magnificent-two francs and half
for a hundred programs! And when
he spelled Trafalgar Trofolger the
whole edition had to be reprinted.
The shop had TO be- kept busy, and
young Osborne decided to go into the
publishing business on a larger
scale. One OF. his early achievements
was book of eight pages called
"Black Canyon: or Life in the Far
West. The collector of rare items
now values a good example of this
masterpiece at something like s25.
The progress of this work had been
watched by amused eyes. II. l.. S.
was too much OF a boy himself to be
untouched by such n creative enter
prise. Osborne goes on with the mar
rative:
Louis. as the little boy always
called his stepfather. with a ia
miliarity that was much criticized
ty strangers. followed this publish
ing venture with absorbing interest.
Then his own ambitions awakened,
and one day. with an affected hui
mility that was most embarrassing,
he called at the Office and submitted

Poems,' which the firm OF Osborne

In Which We Find Fault With the Latest
Literary Portrait of Shakespeare and Are
Convinced That Sheila Kaye-Smith Will
Prove Great Novelist.
BY DONALD ADAMS.

rTfs bold thing for a playwright
to put speeches in the mouth
= Of Shakespeare. We expected
when we picked up Clemence Danes
new play ~wEl Shakespeare" Mac

running through the lines ascribed
to him. But Miss Dane. we found.
has managed very well. He wrote
many worse lines than some of those
she gives him. Her blank verse is
fluent. and she has caught something
of the soaring imagery of the Eliza
sethans-that highly charged fancy
that often exploded into bombast
in the best of them.
But our chief concern is not with
the technique of Miss Danes play,
either its style or its quality as
drama As historical plays go. it
strikes q good level.
v
Miss Danes conception Of Shake
speare as a man and of his relations
with those whose lives he closely
touched. Nobody really knows just
what sort OF. man Shakespeare was,
and everybody is entitled to eonjec-
ture.
There is no humor in this Shake
speare of hers, no irony. We do not
feel in her play the robustness that
must have lived in him. She makes
him self studious young genius, his
life twisted and tortured by two
women. Anne Hathaway and Mary
Fitton, '.the Dark Lady of the Son.
nets
We have no quarrel with any of
the liberties Miss Dane takes with
the generally accepted story of
Shalkespeare's life. If it pleases her
to have him kill Kit Marlowe ac-
cidentally in a quarrel with his friend
over Mary F'itton. we don't begrudge
her the dramatic value of such stray
ing from the path of scholarly recti-
tude. She has him writing plays
down in Stratford before he is twenty
and before he has gone TO London.
We don't care about that either. Who
can say how many plays are written
in the prairie towns by dramatists OF
eighteen who have yet to see New
York?
But we do QUARREL with Miss
Danes presentation of a Shakespeare
whose intrigue with the Dark Lady
so skaters him that only an i'm
FASHIONED appeal from Queen Eliza
beth sends him back to his play
writing. The, fire that burned in him
was not so easily quenched. In
tensely creative minds are not so
easily bent and broken.
And we object also to Miss Danes
picture of Anne Hathaway. We are
supposed to take her for q simple
provincial woman who hung heavily
ON the wings of expanding genius.
shakespeare. in Miss Danes play,
could not share his dreams and
visions with Anne. but Anne is shown
TO US. gifted in imagination no less
than her husband. She talks with
him on his own level, and she wants
TO share his intellectual life.
All this looks very much to us as
if Miss Dane had picked up young
feminist from the London of to-day
and carried her back three and q
half centuries to set her down in
Warwickshire. The tongue of the
real Anne that Shakespeare left be-
hind him when he went up to Lon
don may have been sharp. but we

mr. TERHUNE is very credu-
VI lous when it comes to his
favorite breed of dogs. He
believes great deal about the collies
which amt so. and he is right in his
attitude. The collie is such an in
telligent animal that q great deal
which amt so about it is true. He
quotes that old saying that a collie
has the brains OF a man and the
ways of a woman. Nearly every
phase Of dog life is discussed in this
book. The author believes that the
collie has psychic powers and he
has several stories, based on his own
observation, which prove it.
The best story is about an outlaw
dog in the Ramapo Mountains, which
was pursued and killed by a collie
in a quest for vengeance.

sponsible bent. The picture printed
here illustrates the highly Gu}
moral tale of the Pirate and the
Apothecary, which reverses all the
traditional conclusions of stories
about Good Boys and Bad Boys. The
bad boy goes to sea.
Thencef5rth his terror haunted flight
He follows through the starry night;
And with the early morning breeze
Behold him on the azure seas.
So Ben, while Robin chose to roam,
A rising chemist was at home,
Tended his shop with learned air.
Watered his drugs and oiled his hair,
And gave advice to the unwary.
Like any sleek aDothecary.
Robin and Ben finally meet and
swap experiences. When the pirate
hears the SNUG tale of the respect
able citizens career he is shocked
even grieved at heart. When a pirate
is deeply stirred he acts. But how he
acts the reader must he left to find
cut from the book itself.
AS for the other poems and pic
lures. anybody who cares for Steven
SON win delight in them. No offense~
i, ones taste lies in other directions.
As the author admits in the initial
poem:
Some like Poe,
And others like Scott,
Some like Mrs. Stowe:
Some not.
But to any that can find no pleas

permitted a reviewer to offer the
most profound and heartfelt SYM

The danger of tuberculosis cattle ts Swine was further demonstrated by the sale of hogs from this farm early in the year. The first lot of zl nogs sold showed such extensive lesions of tuberculosis upon post-mqrtem that the packing company refused to ac- cept the remaining 50. Theae were substantially sold to a local shipper and their identity and destination are not known. If the swine are still alive they are undoubtedly a menace to other stock. The Bureau of Ani- against purchasing stock from farms where either tuberculosis cattle or swine are kept.
 The bureau inspector also reported that week after the shipment of hogs had been made a milch cow-a chronic cougher-had died and the younger stock was allowed to devour the carcass. Such a practice is responsible for a great deal l of tuberculosis among swine in the Unit 1 ed States. According to bureau officials the facts stated should cause any live stock farmer who finds tuberculosis among his hogs or whose shipments of hogs are refused because of extensive lesions of that disease. to have his herd of cattle tested promptly.

HOW THE POTATOES
 HAVE SUFFERED


 J. S. Owens. extenslon specialist in Agronomy attended the joint field tour of the New England Agronomists and Aroostook County farm bureau in Aroostook county, Maine. August 8 to 10 inclusive. There were about 40 men in attendance from Virginia, U S. Department of Agriculture, the Middle Atlantic and New England states other than Maine, who were either plant disease experts or college workers interested in potatoes. The tour started at Houlton and extended through Presuue, Isle, Fort Fairfield, Limestone andf Washburn, the heart of the potato growing section. large number of fields along the entire route were inspected closely and particular notice was taken of many fields along the road.
 Tt is no exaggeration to state that everyone from without the state was keenly disappointed at the large amount of disease present in most oi i the fields seen," says Mir Owens. "Tht vast majority of the fields have SC much mosaic that to secure seed iron them would be disastrous and rhizoc tonia and black leg are present in tot large a proportion in many of thu more vigorous looking fields. So com mon are the so-ca.led degeneration diseases that seed should be secured from but few fields and, unless tn condition of the fled during the grow ing is known. seed should not be SC cured. Fields with plants of sufficien vigor for good seed are very few ant usually small. These were grown iron either Canadian or Vermont seed SC cured last spring or the year before Increased infection of disease in thes is to be expected in the progeny Rrow next season as the good fields are un usually close to badly infected fields.
 Some of the best fields are being in spected and certified by the Main
