Theodore Roosevelt, Carnegie, the
Rockfellers, Kiplings, Barrie, Bret
Harte, the monarchial trend of the
Roosevelt administration, the evils
Of plutocracy, corruption in poll
tics. the devious ways of publish
ers, simplified spelling and copy
right laws-these are only a few
of the men and subjects which fall
within the scope of his recollec-
tons and occasionally under the
lash Of the deadliest pen of Amer
lean literature.
For, great humorist though he
was he was Mark Twain was also
a champion hater, And here he
is in full eruption, giving unfetter-
ed expression to his violent ami
mosities, directing his explosive,
caustic, highly personal comments
at anything and anyone he dislike.
A rich contribution to the his
tory of American literature, full
of rare nuggets and flashes Of light
the book has all the enchantment
friends found in his conservation
and the fine vitality of his un-
matchable prose.

Washington, The Man

We have heard many stories about George
Washington, and it is interesting to note what an
other great man, who knew him intimately, thought
of the Father of Our Country
In letter written by Thomas Jefferson on jan
uary 2 1914, when he 70 years old, he gives an
interesting estimate of the personal character of
George Washington, from which the following para
graphs TAKEN
81 think knew General Washington intimately
and thoroughly, and called to delineate
his character, it would be in terms like these:
His mind great and powerful, without
being of the first order his penetration strong and
far he saw, judgment ever sounder.
It slow in operation, being little aided by i'm
aginaton, but in conclusion.
"He incapable of fear, meeting personal
dangers with the calnest unconcern. Perhaps the
strongest feature in his character was prudence,
acting until every consideration maturely
weighed. His integrity most pure, his justice
the most inflexible have known.
His education merely reading, writing and
common arithmetic, to which he added surveying
at later day. His time employed in action
chiefly, reading little, and that only in agriculture
and English history.
"On the whole, his character was, in it's mass,
perfect; in nothing bad, in few points Indifferent
And it may be truly said that never did nature
and fortune combine more perfectly to make man
great, and to place him in the same constellation
with whatever worthless have merited from man
everlasting remembrance"

ON THE LONG TIDE
By Laura Krey

In and Tell of Time Laura
Krey wrote magnificent story of
Texas in the days of Reconstruc-
ton. Behind it lay finer story
still: the story of the birth of Texas
itself. ON the Long Tide" tells
of the men and women who tempt
ed the forests unbroken silence,
braved the prowling Indian, open
ed and subdued the earth. 1t tells
how a small group of Texans gain
ed their freedom against incredible
odds and won a vast territory from
the domination of Mexico and
Spain. These events occurred just
a century ago. Never have they
been brought so wildly back to
life or made to seem so significant.
Beginning with an interview at
Monticello between the hero, the
young Jeffrey Fentress, and his
cousin, Thomas Jefferson, the ac-
ton passes to Nashville, to Horse
Shoe Bend, to New Orleans, to
Mexico and to Texas, and intro
duces brilliant group of charact-
ers, all Of whom are presented as
human beings rather than as hero
es of history. Here Is no cross
section of the American past, but
a unique story of unique civil
zation compounded of ruggedness
and culture, Of wisdom and danger,
and of the sort Of joyful faith that
takes the impossible in its stride.
MARK TWAIN IN ERUPTION
BY Mark Twain
From the unpublished Mark
Twain papers come these anec-
dotes, opinions and "reminiscences.
Not autobiography in the usual
sense the book can be viewed
rather as a kind Of table talk, as
Mark Twain discoursing about the
people he knew, the events that
interested him, and occasionally
himself. Decorated with his pre-
JUDGES, marked by the expansive,
riotous humor that made him fam
Gus, it includes sketches of pub
fishers and literary friends; men,
cries of how his books were writ
ten; the feelings of a man who
found himself, in the first decade
Of the goth century, not too assured
about his country and countrymen.
