SHOOTING STARS.
By PHIIAASDER JOHNSON.

The Stereotyped Compliment.
When anybody makes a hit
In some peculiar style.
The friends, like butterflies, will fit
Around him as they smile;
And each, with mind all gayly fraught
With terms Of compliment,
Exclaims, Dear friend, you really
ought
To run for President
The fellow who invents shoe,
A razor or a drink
In gilded glory comes to view. r
His imperfections sink
Into obscurity. His fate
To fiattery soft is lent.
"You ought" his bland admirers state,
ITO run for President
I wonder what this happy land
Would be in course Of time
II all thus mentioned should expand
In greatness so sublime.
I wonder whittier we would slip,
On novelty intent,
II every one who gets the tip
Could run for President.

and the whole little army goes
along, seeing nothing ludicrous in
their moving together.
There is no claim that "Futil-
ity'' is comic. but it might easily
fit the term, "a Russian Comedy"
The very seriousness of the char
acters but adds to their comic
qualities. All is not Red propa-
ganda coming out of Russia.
Somehow, after reading the book,
one feels that underneath con-
ditions in Holy Russia is the ever
present Nikolai Vasilievich, easy
going, charitable, rather blinded
and most of all, futile, leading
a futile existence.
Gerhardi gives us the word that
best describes all those other
views of Russian life that we
have had. "Futility" is that
word. All the talkativeness, the
lack of action, the willingness to
sit. even though in prison, wait
ing like another Micawber, Is the
touchstone of Russia, and Nikolai
Vasilievich is Russia itself.

Roman BartholOW
By Edwin Arlington Robinson.

By Edwin Arlington Robinson.
Easy mistakes are common in
the darkS-
Notably SO where there are
friends together;
And you, with your cheap fen
mel and regret .
And your sweet compound of
hypocrisy,
Are worse than common dirt.
/ like to say this;
And If your notion is to break
my neck
For saying it, I'm not sure
that / shall care
When a mans last illusion,
like a bubble
Covered with moonshine, breaks
and goes to nothing,
And after that is rather less
than nothing,
The bubble had then better be
forgotten
And the poor fool who blew it
be content
With knowing he was born to
be a fool.
AS are we; and it's well for
most of us
We do not know too soon. We
know too late.
Well, what's the matter? Has
your spring of lies
Dried up--or is it almost full
again."

Nikolai Vasilievich is member
of the bourgeoisie, occupying a
large, luxurious flat in the Moho-
vaya in st. Petersburg. His
three daughters, Nina, Sonia and
Vera; Fanny Ivanovna, his COM
mon law wife, who had been a
German light opera singer; his
wife. who has eloped with Jew
dentist; Baron Wunderhausen,
Kniaz, Eberheim, Kostia, zina.
the various relatives of all these
variously mingled families, not
forgetting the two ancient grand
fathers. are all supported by
Nikolai, who owns a gold mine
in Siberia from which no gold has
ever yet been obtained.
Merely because he wishes to do
some little thing to loosen the
truly terrible tangle in which
Nikolai Vasilievich is caught,
Andrea Andreiech makes out a
chart OF required action by all
the various parties to the tangle.
How is he received?
Young man." said Nikolai
Vasilievich, tearing the chart into
fragments and tossing them into
the big stove in the corner, you
know we are always glad to have
you here, but to make fun of our
family difficulties-to make fun"
(he was getting little heated "of
our family difficulties into which
you, as our guest, were unavoid-
ably initiated-is, I consider, tact
less and indicate"
That was an end, a most laugh
able end, to Andrei's efforts. Off
to England he goes, to study at
Oxford and not to see Nikolai
Vasilievich until the great war.
Once more he finds all unchanged,
the tangled skein of life even
more tangled if anything. The
legitimate and the illegitimate
members of the household are still
there, presently to be driven into
Siberia by the revolution.
Comes then the hunt for the
mine, with a transfer of the comic
existence from st. Petersburg to
V4adivostok. 1t is quite impos-
sible to show satisfactorily the
queer existence Of these families
by quotation. Nikolai. his illegal
spouse, his unfaithful wife and
her paramour, two legitimate
daughters and one with the bar
sinister, his own latest flame,
with the families of all concerned
and the dishonest bookkeeper,
down they sit in Vladivostok to
wait and wait and wait, never
once believing that good fortune
will not be theirs, talking and
dining and dancing from day to
day.
Remarkable etchings of the in
tervention by the allies in Siberia
are given, with the description of
the reason why the British officer
is popular with the Russians. He
is free with his promises, that's
all. He promises everything and
anything, playing the waiting
game with the Russians, to their
great delight.
Intervention fails, of course,
and back to Vladivostok goes

Dame Coolidge Has
Wild West Thriller

THE reader who keeps straight
in his mind all the ms and
outs and contributory' complica-
tons of Dane Coolidge's new
novel, Lost Wagons" will have
to read every page, no matter
how much his desire to find out
what happens next urges him to
skip.
The novel is another of Cool
idge's rafting good yarns about
Western mines and prospectors
and happenings in desert towns.
Lost Wagons is a mine and
Death Valley Slim sells it to a
stock promoter and so starts "a
boom in the mining camps of
Lost Valley, and especially in the
town of Gold Trails. And there
is set going a train Of events
that are sometimes melodramatic
and sometimes have a touch OF
tragedy, but are more often COM
pact of rollicking good humor.
Mr.. Coolidge knows the people
who populate the mushroom min
ing camp towns and he has filled
his story with the varied kinds
of them. He is tolerant and
amused in his attitude toward
them, and so the reader will
smile and chuckle his way
Through the story of all they
said and did 1t is quite the best
story Dane Coolidge has yet
written.
