WAS ALMOST WELL

Quarantine Physician De- clares There no Longer Was Danger of Infection.

Mon Wing is a prisoner no more. Whether he found mere physical free- sure surcease from _ trouble which all good Orientals believe death one thing is certain: Mon Wing has left behind him the dreariness and the loneliness of the Quarantine Hospital prison, where he had been in confinement as a leper for more than three years. Health Commissioner Morfit believes that Mon Wing, wearied at last by his long battle under the standerd of optim- ism, has taken hiS life by jumping into the Mississippi. Believed to Be in River. This theory is borne out by the state- ment made to the police by a Broadway line conductor, who says that a Chinese answering Mon’s description boarded his car at the Carondelet terminus at 6 a. m. Friday and rode to Brooklyn street, 1800 north. There he alighted from the car and walked toward the river. — This was an hour after the escape of Mon was discovered, but it was six hours later when the police were no- tified and asked to recapture the leper. Though afflicted with one of the direst ills that flesh may be heir to, Mon Wing, a stranger in a strange land, won from his keepers grudging recog: nition of his qualities as a man of in- domitable spirit in the first three years of his isolation. Leper Was a Christian. His prison was a little white hut, in- closed by a specially constructed stock- ade in the grounds of Quarantine Hos- pital, 20 miles below St. Louis. There he found his only recréatfort“tn “rafsing chickens for his own table, and yet he smiled and from afar he greetings to the hospital attendants and to the fewe visitors who occasionally re- garded him through the chinks of the prison fence. Not until recently did Mon show signs that he was weakening in his fight against despair. Superintendent Dwyer says that in the last two weeks Mon has been despondent. Before that it was his proud boast that he was a Christian Chinese and that. Christian fortitude would carry him through. No Longer Contagious, Whether Mon reverted to the pagan creed from which he had been convert- ed in St. Louis may never be known. Certain it is that in the end he found nc philosophy powerful enough to in- duce him to remain in confinement. Dr. Dwyer says that even if Mon Is still alive there need be no fear that he will spread the disease, as doctors re- cently expressed the opinion that he was almost cured and thet his malady had so far been conquered that it was nc longer contagious.

Special to the Post-Dispatch INDIANAPOLIS, Ind., Sept. 17.— Aeronauts congratulated themselves to- day on the favorable atmospheric con- ditions attending the start of the Ameri- can championship and free-for-all bal- loon races, from the Indianapolis Motor

Speedway, in which 13 scheduled to start. The 18 pilots filled the ballast bags | with sifted sand, adjusted the nets, did other preliminary work and then-loaded their willow baskets with personal ef- fects, blankets, food, medicine, and other equipment this morning to help them on what they expected to be | a prolonged trip among the clouds af- | ter the start of the races. The indications were that some of them would be in the air from 24 to 30 hours and they might fly 600 or 800 miles from Indianapolis. They prepared for all emergencies, for they might come down in the Great Lakes or in the ocean, which made life preservers a necessary item in the equipment: -or they might land balloons were

in the mountains or woods, far from civilization, which caused them to add generous quantities of food, Many Precautions Taken. Several wagonloads of sand were necessary to fill the ballast bags, and about 40 sacks of ballast were provided for each balloon. The pilots

watched the inflation closely, look- ing for punctures and leaky seams. | They also looked closely to _ the} strength of nets and ropes and took | every possible precaution that woul! |. add to their safey after leaving the | earth. St. Louis is making a strenuous efforts“to win. Four members of the St. Louis Aero Club are entered in the events*—three in he champions?iip race and one in the free-for-all. Last evening about 100 members o! the St. Louis Million Population Club came to Indianapolis to root for their favorites and incidentally to adver- tise their home city. They were dis- tinguished by white hats, white trou- sers, blue coas and red belts, and pa- raded the streets headed by a band. The delegation was met at the train by a committee from the Indianapolis Trade Association, which accompa- nied them to the Denison Hotel. The pilots from St. Louis in the championship race are H. EB. Honey- well, in the balloon Centennial; William T. Assmann, who will guide Miss Sophia, and S. Louis Von Puhl in the Willion Population Club, a large racer on which the St. Louis people are pinning their strongest hopes. Capt. John Berry, experienced aeronaut, will pilot his old baloon, University City in the free-for-all. Baldwin to Ai@d Harm Cc. H. Wade, of Cleveland, will pilot the Buckeye and Clifford B. Harmon, of New York is in charge of the New York. Harmon's aid is Capt. T. §&. an aeroplanist, balloonist and air-ship man. : Arther T. Atherholt of Philadelphia in the Pennsylvania was aid in the Government’s balloon during the St. Louis races in 1907, and he has made many more ascensions. Alan R. Haw- ley of New York in the America II is known far and wide as a daring aeronaut, and he has for his aide August Post. Another entrant in the championship event is Charles Walsh of Kingston, N. Y., who has for his aide Col. Samuel Reber. Both are aeronauts of long experience and they will use an Indianapolis made balloon, the Hoosier. Fisher and Bumbaugh Confident. Carl G: Fisher and George Bum- baugh of Indianapolis will direct the Indiana II, a new balloon which was finished recently in Bumbaugh’s fac- tory. Fisher is confident he = and Bumbaugh will at least win the en- durance contest. A year ago the two sailed to Tennessee in the champion- ship race and remained in the air two nights and two days. It was a record for endurance, but they were disqualified for descending to the ground after water, Bumbaugh is an experienced aeronaut. When a boy he made parachute, leaps from a hot-air balloon, and far the last 20 years he has been making a business of ballooning. Capt. Berry of Univer- sity, City wished to take a newspaper woman as passenger in the free-for-all, but none could be found to meet the conditions.

Special to the Post-Dispatch. HOLT, Mo., Sept. 16.—Knowing that two. trains a few miles away were due to collide and that he Was power- less to stop them, L. E. Wilholt, tele- graph operator, sat in his" office here last night for 10 minutes after he had exhausted the last possible chance to avert calamity. He knew the two trains were speeding toward one another on the same track, that the two engines soon would be tangled fron and that the passengers, then safe in their seats and berths soon would be dead or injured. With his hands pressed to his tem- ples, he could visualize the scene, the steaming engines prostrate in the ditch, the overturned coaches and the flames breaking out of the wreckage. “Tt was simply awful,’’ he said today. “Tt knew for minutes and minutes that the two trains would meet, but I couldn’t do a thing to prevent it. I had given the Burlington train crew clear- ance papers, but told them to wait un- til’ the Rock Island ha dpulled in at Holt. Then I turned to my key to see if there were any orders. It was silent. The ‘“‘bumty-bump’—you know the sound of the heavy coaches ,slowly getting under way—seemed to tell me the train was goin out. “I turned from my key and _ yelled out, the window to the brakeman: ‘Where are you going, Cy?) We always called Howard, who was killed, ‘cy.’ ”’ Smothering Sensation, “Oh, just dow the line a piece,’ he said. *I thought they would. pull up before going out on the main track, dnd turned to my telegraph key again.

Howland refuses to say whether negotiations for a compromise are in progress, Interviewed by a Post-Dispatch rep- resentative, Howland desisted from cleaning a pair of his trousers iong enough to say that he has heard noth- ing of his wife’s intention to ask for annulment of their marriage. “T have taken no steps in the mattér, and I did not know such action was contemplated,’’ he said. It is understood from his remarks that Edmund Wilson, an Eastern attorney, will be retained, if an annulment suit is filed. Howland refused to say whether his wife has written to him since her return to St. Louis. Asked if he is willing to make a settlement or effect a compromise with his bride, he said, ‘I didn’t know that would be nec- essary.”’

It is maintained further by contributions of $1.50 a month from each fireman, amounting to $1050 a month, and by an annual contribution of $20,000 from the city. No Shortage, Quick Says. Quick told a Post-Dispatch repor- ter Saturday that there was no dis- crépancy in the books of the fund. “A committee was appointed in August to protect the fund against frauds on the part of beneficiaries,” he said. “The immediate cause of this was the case of a widow who Nsted her two children as entitled to the $5 a month paid to the orphans of firemen under 16 years of age. On investigation it was found that these were children by a former mar- ringe, and were not entitled to the money, We wanted also to protect ourselves against widows who _ re- marry and are thus not entitled to the $20 a month allowed to widows. “Tt is not true that Woodward re- signed or was discharged, and I am at a loss to account for his suicide.” The report that there was a dis-

UINERINDANGER | FROMTHE FIRE OF Ble BATTLESHIP Crosses Line of Fire as Fleet} Is Practicing Near Nor- folk, Va. LATER - APOLOGIZES Merchantman Had Right of Way, but Pursuing It Was Perilous. \ Special] From a Staff Correspondent of the New York World and NORFOLK, Va., Sept. 17. (Aboard the U. 8. 8. Rhode Island, U. S. Atlantic Fleet, Southern Drill Grounds, by Tug to Norfolk.)—It was not by a wide mar- gin that a sea tragedy Was averted while the third division of the Battle- ship fleet was shooting at spotting prac- tice. The Georgia, Nebraska, Rhode Island and Virginia were steaming at a l5-knot speed in single column for- Mation, in the order named, toward th: southeast, wren a Morgan liner goinz in a northeasterly direction, filled with passengers from New Orleans to New York, came in sight and drew near. The - Virginia at the time was firing her port - batteries at a target five miles away, . and the passenger boat must have seen . that if she held her course she would _ not only cross the bows of the leading * Warship, but would likewise cross the - line of fire. But she kept straight on. Rear Ad- * miral Comly, commanding this division ' from the Georgia, steamed on to about - four hundred yards from the merchant- men end then véered sharply to star- board. Apparently It was thought that the tnterloper would give way, but she did not. Liner Had Right of Way. Under the rules of the road the liner had the right of way, since she was to the starboard of the men-of-war, but it Reemed rather perilous to Insist upon the privilege. Later the liner dipped her fiag in salute and apo!ogiged. The fleet's spotting practice was fin- ‘ished Wednesday and some remarkable shooting was done. The night was given over to defense against night terpedo boat attacks and again the ships did well, although the tests were not -com- preted, The shells are ignited when fired so their course may be noted. The roar of the guns and the flame of the tracers with the searchlights flaming over, al! make an impression not easily forgot- ten.

Virginia’s Score Good. In spotting practice one ship of “wach division does the firing. The, Connecticut shot for the first division, the Kansas for the second, the Vir- ginia for the third, and the Minnesota for the fourth. At a distance of more than five miles the Virginia put three 12-inch shells through a, target. 21 feet by 24 feet. Rear Admiral Scroeders’ program for his 16 battleships has been de- layed about 48 or 60 hours. It was hoped that the ships would be off the ranges in these waters, called Schroedersville by the service, by Saturday, but, due to the fact that the highly important torpedo boat defense work was not completed, an- other night was given over to it. A rough sea and heavy winds, which prevatied this morning, prevented the 16 battleships of the Atlantic fleet, un- Ger Rear Admiral Seaton Schroeder, from taking up their work in the an- nual battle practice. 4¢ the sea and wind calm during the day the whole fleet will take up its work and continue during the night with torpedo practice.

» i WomanWhoIsCom- ing to Fight for Money Defended by Mrs. Frank Leslie.

By Associated Press. , ° NEW YORK, Sept. 17.—Counsel for | Mme. Lina Cavalieri, the singer, said today that his client proposed to fight for her rights and was coming to this country to see that the prenptial agreement whereby Chanler turned over | to the diva what is said to be his en- tire fortune was carried out. W. Russell Osborn, counsel for the singer, flatly denied that Mme. Cava- lieri has asked for or accepted a com- promise from the Chanler family rather | than engage in fitigation to defend the prenuptial agreement. “Mme. Cavalieri,’’ said Osburn, “stands on her rights and she is coming over here to see that she gets them.,”’ Mrs. Lesite Defends Diva. While apparently Chanler has had the entire sympathy of his companions, Mrs. Frank Leslie ts one who thinks that Cavalieri has something to be said in her favor. Mrs. Leslie is the widow of the late publisher and prominently is identified with literature and society. Discussing the case, she said in an in- terview: ‘‘Alas! Poor Cavalieri! America was the last place for her husband to Yly to, if he wanted to preserve any secrecy in the matter. “I met Mme, Cavalieri at a box party abgut a year ago, and, without excep- tion, I thought her the most ravishing- ly lovely woman I-had ever met. She looks as if she had been carved out of marble. “As I was watching her it was dif- ficult to believe all the stories with. which her name is linked. She was haughty and =unbending with the Consul-General of France, who was also a guest,’and when several young- er men were presented to her, she preserved the same attitude of almost offensive indifference throughout the evening. This attracted the ‘men as well as the attention of the entire audience at the opera. “Subsequently I heard of her mar- riage and was shocked. Considers No Price Too Great. “T remember hoping at the time that she had won a handsome dowry, for I considered her husband had little else to offer the human god- dess who had condescended to grace his society. Personally, tf I were a man, I. would pay any sum for the mere pleasure of looking at so fault- less a creature. “Men may talk as they please about brains, but it fs beauty that holds them. An agreeable European once tolad me that for himself he loved beauty. Brilliance wasn’t necessary in women, as one could get it in. books.” ; When asked\if the ‘marriage pointed ® moral to young people, she, answered: “L suppose not. There seems to be no moral to beauty, Cavalieri's beauty out- a stripling. He must have reatized that: there was & tack of spontaniety on the ‘ ject, rsiding in Paris. PROTO BY RockLI eZ Py TINA Quateeees Ghee Diva Who Got Chanler Income for - $1, as She Appears in Street Dress This is the first picture of Cavalieri in street costume, ever published.

up her mind to marry him, and then she appeared in no hurry to cable him. “There is no doubt in my mind ‘that she must have been more or less cal- culating and commercial. If the story of the prenuptial agreement is true, Chanler must have regarded her in the light of a jewel, for he was willing to pay for her. We do not expect any- thing from a gem save beauty. Why should we expect .anything more of a woman who is absolutely perfect?’’ “Then ‘Cavalieri might be an exam- ple to all women that beauty is the better part of virtue?’ Deserves All She Gets. “Not to all women,” she contradicted. | “There are so few perfectly beautiful women in-the world that she who is thus endowed by nature deserves all she gets—and sne generally gets every- thing. ' “*‘A thing of beauty is a joy forever’ you know, a duxury, a pleasure. I do not see why Cavalieri deserves such harsh criticism merely because she is the victim of her own beauty. Why should we scandalize a woman who at the least has beauty and pity and sym- pathize with a man who had nothing? “Everybody is saying ‘poor Chanler.’ I say, ‘poor, beautiful Lina.’ But I say | it only because it is so tiresomme to hear the world condoling with the man and censuring the woman. They are neither of them to be blamed or pitied. “Men continually cry out against the selfishness and vanity of women. At least the vainest woman is honestly af- fectionate, while men are only vain and jealous without affection. People mar- vel that Chanler married Cavalieri. The marvel to me is that she ever married him. At least he got something to look at, and that fs all the majority of the men ask for in a woman. Connoisseurs have paid twice the sum for dead Tanagras that Chanler paid for a liv- ing Venus, and they have never mur- mured. : ° Glad Order Is Reversed. “Year after year foreigners come over to America and carry off our money and our girls. I am glad to see the order reversed. I hope some of the lovely foreign women in need of American dollara may have the courage to follow Cavalieri and cap-.| ture some of the American money. | “It’s only “fair when the women of America set the example.” The marriage settlement filed bere dis- closes that at the time of her marriage, the opera singer’s name was Natalina Cavalieri, a spinster and Italian sub- Chanler, for the considerations set forth, assigned to his wife all his real estate, all his interest in the es- tate of the late Mrs. Laura Delano, subject to a mortgage of about $140,- 000, “for her sole and separate use absolutely.” ‘‘He jJoth further covenant ito pay his wife $20,000 a year in four quarterly in- ‘stallments, all payments free from in- come or other taxes,’” and for the pur- | pose of securing the payment of the ‘said. yearly sum, Mme. Cavalieri is con- stituted “his true and lawful attorney, irrevocable,”’ to collect rents and profits.

STRAT Sale| HLTED YOUTH KEEPS WOOER OF IRL PRISONER Fred Misegades of Alton, Stood Guard at Hotel Where Osborne Dined.

Fred Misercades is iocked up at Alton, charged with threatening to shoot C. E. Osborn, whom he accuses of taking his sweetheart, Miss Bessie Creswell of Up- per Alton, from him. For nearly two hours Friday evening Misegades kept Osborn a prisoner in the Illini Hotel at Alton, threatening tu shoot him if he started to keep an en- ‘gagement at Upper Alton, which Mise- gades supposed was with Miss Creswell. Misegades did not go away until after Osborn had sent for J. L. Creswell, fa- ther of the girl, who is a constable, to come to his assistance. Misegades is the operator of the Big Four at Edwardsville Crossing. Miss Creswell formerly received his atten- tions. Latterly Osborn, representative of a correspondence school, has been calling on her and she has spurned the attentions of Misegades. Persisted in Attentions. For the past three months Misegades has been calling her up two or three times a day, writing notes and post- cards to her and accosting her on the street. A few days ago he called at the house and she shut the door in his face. e sent her a ring through the rail, ich she refused to accept. Friday evening he went into the din- ing roont at the Illini Hotel, where Osborn was eating, and asked him what right he had to go with Miss Creswell last Sunday night, and warned him that if he went with her again he would shoot him. Osborn said he had no time to tulk to him, because he had an engagement in Upper Alton. That tncreased Mise- gades’ rage. He went outside and an- nounced that he would shoot Osborn if he attempted to leave the hotel. After being a prisoner for an hour and a half, Osborn got word to Miss Creswell’s father. When he arrived Misegades had gone. Accompanied by Policeman Ritchie he went to Misegades’ home. and arrested him. A warrant was issued Saturday. $100,000 ASKED FOR AN EYE Woman Shot in a Mosque: Sub- mits Claim Against Turkey.

- NEW JERSEY FIRM FRIEND OF TRUSTS Voted for All Tariff Raises Except One, Opposed Re- | ductions Except Two. Wire From the Washingtes Bureau of the Post-Dispatch. WASHINGTON, Sept. 17.—Senator John Kean of New Jersey, “Little Brother of All the Trusts,” and Senator Aldrich’s card index of pending legisla- tion, made the most consistent record of all the stand-pat Senators during the extraordinary session of Congress which framed the Payne-Aldrich tariff act, by voting for all increases but two and op- posing all reductions but one. More than this, Senator Kean’s record in helping to revise the tariff shows a jealous regard for the Senator’s own interest and equal zeal to care of the interests of his friends, all of the trusts: Senator Kean is to the Senate and to Aldrich what Representative James R. Mann of Illinois is to Speaker Cannon in the House. Kean keeps informed of all legislation. He knows what every bill is loaded with and whether it should pass. : During the debate on the Payne Aldrich bill Senator Kean was Senator Aldrich’s most valuable ally. He watched every item of the bill—for him- self and for the trusts. Kean’s own in- terests are closely allied with many trusts. Once Senator Kean gave a sin- gle-handed effort to reduce a duty. He wanted zinc. ore put on the free list. Zine manufacturing is one of the big- gest industries of his State. Also, he proposed an increase in the ‘rates on manufactured zinc so high that even Senator Aldrich wouldn’t stand for it and the amendment- was killed without a roll call. Favored His Own Interests. ethe New Jérsey Senator is reputed to be heavily interested in gas, water, light, trolley and railroad companies; in the Union Stockyards of Chicago the rope and twine industry and the coal busi- ness. For these investments he did his best. For the Coal -Trust he was equally solicitous. Mr. Kean is heavily inter- ested in all of the gas burned in New Jersey and gas is made from coal. He | helped to boost the tariff rate on car- bons for electric lights, and on mena- zite sand and thungsten, from which gas mantels are made. ? Here are some of the trusts Mr. Kean helped with his votes on the tariff bill: Smelter Trust—Opposed reductions on lead ore and urged higher rates. Fought a reduction in linseed oil. Pottery Trust—Fought the proposition to reduce duties on earthenware and chinaware. Steel Trust—Insisted on the duty on iron ore. Voted to retain duties on manufactured iron and steel. Standard Oil Trust—Voted for duties on crude petroleum and its ‘products and also for the futile “joker’’ digni- fied by the name of a “countervaling duty,” which would have performed the same purpose. School Book Trust—Voted against free school books. Beef Trust—Opposed Teductions in fresh. meats. Voted for duty on com- ponents of soap, an article which is ex- tensively manufactured ‘by the Beef Trust. Keeping Necessities Higher. Leather Trust—This combine is said to he controlled by the Beef Trust, which has control of the tanning in- dustry. Kean voted against reducing quebacho, used in tanning; voted against reducing boots, shoes, leather and other articles made by the trust. Shoe Machinery Trust—Kean, by his votes, helped that trust keep the duty on American-made footwear. Rubber Trust—Voted- with Aldrich tu raise the duty on manufactured rubber. Coal Trust—Voted to keep bituminous coal on the dutiable List. Gas Trust—Ditto. The list could be made longer with the Sugar Trust, whose No. 16 duty ‘Soker’’ keeps up the sugar tariff; the Wool Growers’ Trust, the woolen mill combination, the cotton mill combina- tion, the Window Glass Trust, the Agr- cultural Implement Trust, the Lumber Trust, the cutlery trade, which fought the reduction of tariff duties on knives and razors; the Paper Trust,. which got increases in the duty on print paper; the Wire Nail Trust and every other ecmbination of capital which thrives on the tariff duties on the innumerable ar- ticles of importation protected in the Payne-Aldrich act. Of course, Senator Kean’s vote helped his friends when attempts were made to reduce duties on writing paper and to make cotton ties, which the south- ern planter needs to bale his cotton, free; and for the Asphalt Paving Trust his vote counted to Keep asphalt from coming into its greatest market duty free. | In addition, Mr. Kean’s record during his service in the Senate tells a story of help to the railroads. He was a consistent opponent of the Hepburn railway rate act, but voted for it, Forms ker of Ohio being the only Republican who voted against ft. During the amendment of the act In the late ses- sion of Congress, Kean Iined up with the regulars and with the railroads. | Also Kean got for the railroads a little bill which permits them to copyright their advertising names, such as “Big Four,” “New York Central,” etc. He joined in defending the honor. of American judges when Senator La Fol- lette proposed that a Federal judge who owned stock In a railroad or used free transportation furnished by one should be barred from sitting in raflroad cases Kean voted against this “insult to the Federal bench.” , By

Earl Stevens, who committed sui- cide by leaving his hat on Eads _- Bridge a year ago, has been convict- ‘ed of bigamy in Kansas City and sen- tenced to serve a year in jail. With Stevens’ hat at the time he disappeared was found a note which read: “It ig best for all concerned. That’s the way I am going to end "it all.” Mrs. Stevens, who then lived at 2634 Little Market streeet, went into mourning for her husband. The po- lice sitspected that the suicide note was misleading as Stevens was want- ed on a charge of army desertion. Thomas Freeland, a Central District police clerk, returned from Kansas City Saturday saying that at the trial of Darwin Norton for bigamy there he had identified Norton as Stevefis.

LOUIS OTAGE ROMANCE 1S TAKEN NTO THE DIVORCE COURT Favorite Singer of Uhrig Cave and Savage Compa- nies,Now Wealthy, Files Suit in Cal- ifornia Against Comedian. A divorce, now being sought’in San Francisco, is likely to end the St. Louis- made romance of Maud Lilian Berri and Frank Moulan, for years the prime fa- vorites among this. city’s theater-goers, and the tuneful pair who set thousands to singing: % Since I first met you, Since I first met you, The open sky above me seems A deeper blue; The joyous rippling sunlight Warms me through and through; Each flower has a new perfume Since I met you. A dispatch from Los Angeles § says that the tall soprano has announced in that city her divorce suit against Mou- lan, filed in San Francisco: The hus- band, famous as the original “Ki- Ram, of George Ade’s “Sultan of Sulu,’’ is appearing in a New York pro- duction. Wife Is Rich Now. “It's foolish to live together and yet live apart,’’ Mrs. Berri-Modlan is quot- ed as saying in explanation of her pur- pose to live permanently apart from\ the funny little man whom she wedded in St. Louis in the old Uhrig’s Cave days. She is now wealthy, having inherited a fortune of nearly a million from the estate of her father, Fulton Berri, who died last April in Fresno, Cal. The only other heir to the estate of almost $2,000,000 was a sister, who was a mis- sionary in China. Maud Lilian Berri was first brought to St. Louis in the summer of 1899 to be leading soprano of the Spencer Opera troupe at Uhrig’s Gave. Many St. Loulsans remember the night when the long-limbed, slender young woman made her first bow to the summer audi- ence fn the big al fresco auditorium at Washington and Jefferson atenues and, A Pleasing Sense of Health and Strength Renewed and of Ease and Comfort - follows the use of Syrup.of Figs and Elixir of Senna, as it acts gently on the ag liver and qudlninty wh cleans- ing the system e when cone i ted, or se age and agen y Rabel & et ang its eet its beneficial effects, always bey the genuine, manufactured by benacb California Fig Syrup Co. . } nervous as she was, warbled her way into their hearts with “I Dreamt I Dwelt in Marble Halls.”” From that night her place as St. Louis’ favorite opera singer was contested only by Grace Van Studdiford. Returns Here a Widow. * She was then the wife of Dr. Fisher, a dentist, and he and their little daugh- ter, Berrita, traveled with her. Within a year after her first St. Louis suc- Feud her husband died. She retired for a time from the stage, but the de- mands of,St. Louis playgoers brought her back to this city, as a garden sing- eq by summer, and as a: member of the Savage opera troupe, at the old Exposition Music Hall, in winter. Frank Moulan was the most popular of the comedians with the Savage cont- pany. People could not help laughing at him and when he drew his comical face into lines of amorous distress and sang love ditties to the tail and bloom- ing Berri, head and shoulders above him, the playgoers enjoyéd a rare treat. One of their greatest joint successes was in ‘‘Mascotte” at Delmar Garden, where Moulan was a convulsingly funny ‘Pippo’ to Berri's ‘‘Bettina” in the gobble-gobble duet. One of their summers in St.. Louis, they went to Clayton and were married. Their biggest success, in the ‘‘Sultan of Sulu,” came the next season, and they were kept at Manhattan Beach, New York, singing it all the following sum- mer. . Sang Here in Grand Mogul, After that they were seen in St. Louis less frequently. Their last ap- pearance here was in ‘“‘The Grand Mo- gul” three years ago. “Come and Nes- tle Closely by my Side’’ was the song which served as the refrain of this opera, and the manner in which they sang it gave no hint that their fond- ness for each other had lessend a bit. If Mrs. Moulan’s divorce suit is suc- cessful, her husband will find himself for tho second time deprived of a help- meet by the courts. His first wife, one of the Savage opera singers, was di- vorced from him early in the days of the Exposition Music Hall engagement. Dallas Grows 116 Per Cent.

CAMPAIGNING Canvass of Sentiment in St. Louis by Beer Men Re- sented by Party Workers. Missouri country editors who have been in St. Louis recently say they have, been overwhelmed with demands from the breweries for advertising space and have refused to accept the brewery ad- vertising at any price. The editors say the drys are making a fight distrigt and voting precinct in the State, and have an army of speakers on the platform every day and night. The editors from the northeastern part of the State pre- dict that every county- in that section will give the a big majority—some dry of them pas, to 3000 votes. ‘The breweries \are willing to pay me any price I de d for my space,’ said one of the editors. ‘‘The advertise- ments would not sell a single bottle of beer for the brewer ies, and they knew it. in every school ‘T regard the proffer of the adver- tisements as an attempt to buy my influence.

He asked me how he should do it and I told him to put a prohibitive price on the space. When I returned a week later I was ‘surprised to find the adver- tisemant in the paper. “T asked my son how it came to be there. He said he had asked the brew- ery five times the regular price, think- ing it would be prohibitive, but was in- structed to run it. Drys Out Campaigning. “T told him to cancel the cohtract at once, and under ‘ho condftions to ac- cept another brewery advertisement. My views on the liquor traffic were widely known throughout my county, and it would have ruined me to print the brewery advertisements.”’ Members of the Republican and Democratic City Committees are criti- cising the breweries for having a wet and dry canvass of the voters of St. Louis made by the Trades Union Anti- Prohibition League. Some of the com- mitteemen are said to have instructed their workers to refuse to give any information to the canvassers. “It is just this way,” said Nat Gold- stein, a member of the Republican City Committee. ‘‘Nearly all of the committeemen are opposed to prohi- bition. Now that the breweries are confronted with the dry amendment, instead of coming to their friends in the party organiaztions they pick up Ed McCullen and Eugene Sarber, who have been on the brewery payrolls for a long time, and turn over the canvass to them. Organizations Ignored, “These men do not know anything about political oonditions in the dif- ferent wards. They sent absolute strangers into my ward to make the canvass. When the Democratic com- mitteeman, himself a saloonkeeper, heard about the canvass, he made a big protest to the breweries. “The wets are doing themselves more harm than good by such meth- ods. If they required a wet and dry canvass there is nobody s0 well able to do it efficiently as the different party organizations. It seems that the organizations have been ignored. Well, if the wets think the Trades Union League, whatever that is, can do them more good than the party organizations they will see later where they have made a_e serious blunder.” MANUAL TRAINING TO OPEN School ‘Will Hold Entrance Ex- aminations Tuesday. The Manual Training School will hold its entrance examinations in the school building next Tuesday, beginning at 9 a. m. There will be only two changes in its corps instructors. Langdon S. Barron, a pattern maker, will instruct most of the classes in woodwork. He has demonstrated his taste and his abil- ity as a workman and teacher in a year's service in the school. The physics will be in charge of Hen- ry Raymond Vaughan of Thetford, Vt. He has had two years’ experience in the high school at Findlay, O.

NO COMPROMISE POSSIBLE. Multiplied instances of the deplorable influence of the suggestive picture postal card serve only to emphasize the necessity of suppressing their sale by summary methods. If young girls are the recipiertts of cards containing insulting mes- sages the messages are inspired by the pictures, so that, in the final analysis, it appears that the sender is first demoralized. There are no two opinions on the subject from the men who have spoken, and certainly no one capable of appreciating the value of public de- decency can see a way to compromise the situa- tion. A hair-splitting censorship, devoting time to distinguishing between what is “art” and what is not in the printed pictures, will make no appreciable progress. The important thing is to impress the dealers in the one way it is possible to impress them, with the fact that offering for sale indecent cards will bring speedy penalties. ‘ The campaign must be continued until the dealers have been educated to the idea that the line is clearly drawn and the penalty certain. = = rr It should occur to the 70,000 or more unregis- tered voters that, directly or indirectly, the greater number of them will be voting for or against their jobs in November.

“The fighting was general throughout the dis- trict,” reports the veracious war correspondent of the Associated Press, who bravely went to London, Ky., to report the result of the conflict between Caleb Powers and D. C. Edwards for the Republican congressional nomination. In the mountains of Kentucky dwell men with iron in their blood. In them the fires of patriot- ism burn fiercely and liberty is maintained, as it was purchased, with the best powder and the biggest supply. It is no concern of. these patriots that tyranny has stalked in the House of Repre- sentatives, that oligarchy stands pat in the na- tion, that the trusts are still committing depre- dations and privilege levies its tax through the tariff. Their love of virtue is melodramatic and their primal instinct is to vindicate it. With that done, all else must be well. So they love courage and the ruggedness which finds its no- blest exemplification in personal conflict. Not outside of Nicaragua can be found another electorate so devoted to liberty ahd so sincere in its love of right that it is ever ready to fight to prove it: How small and pale our urban natures that we confine ourselves to academic discussion, bow submissively to majority decrees and hold elections in which the fightin; is not general. In the mountains of Kentucky the majority is com- posed of those who shoot straightest. These be men indeed. » » -» ——— The Missour!

An enterprising foreigner under arrest in New York for swindling, blames the bankers for his fall. He says: “I never saw a country in my life like the United States for getting money easy. All you have to do is to ask for it.” From all reports his words. are justified by his experi- ence. It appears that in a single operation he got $150,000 from an important bank without putting up a shadow of security. Stories of this kind are numerous. It is seem- ingly the easiest thing in the world for a ¢rook to get money from an American bank. Crooked cashiers, bookkeepers, clerks and even presi- dents, evidently take it whenever they wish it. Outside crooks have to go through more formali- ties, but they get the money almost as certainly as those on the inside. In the meantime if an honest man wishes a small loan the banker scorns him and he has to go to his uncle. There is a problem here for financiers and for psychologists to compare notes over. Mrs. Chad- wick is reported to have said that she managed to cheat bankers by making them think they could cheat her. This explanation, however, is probably unfair to the bankers. At any rate, it is not the judgment of an unprejudiced person, and therefore cannot be accepted as an exact solution of the problem. 7 Perhaps the secret of the mystery is hidden ! the heart of the universe itself. Joseph de Mais- tre says: “I know not what the life of a rascal may be, for I have never been one; but the life of an honest man is abominable.” There is evi- dently some truth in that theory. Easy money goes to him who has an easy conscience. It ~ must be noted, however, that the New York man asserts he is not to blame at all. He says: “The bank shoved the money at me.”

-pOST-DISPATCH DAILY

DESPOTISM THROUGH SPOILS. In Secretary Norton’s letter to an Iowa leader there was a shameless confession attributed to the President that the power of patronage had been abused to force the administration’s legis- lative program through Congress. It narrated how the patronage club was swung on the heads of “certain senators and congressmen who seemed to be in opposition to the administra- tion’s efforts to carry out the promises of the party platform.” . We have here the President assuming the dic- tatorship of. his party and wielding the power of appointment to force members of Congress to do the will of the party as he interprets it. The abuse of patronage to annul the constitutional power of the Congress and to corrupt fhe inde- pendence of its members to which McKinley re- sorted to carry his imperialistic ends was emphasized by Roosevelt to establish his presi- dential despotism and is now openly avowed by Taft as a means of assuring his renomination. Secretary Norton frankly avows the President’s purpose in cutting off certain senatcrs and con- gressmen from patronage favors. He leaves no doubt of the reason for the President’s receding from his plan of spoils discrimination and ad- mitting*insurgents as well as regulars to the pie counter. “That attitude” (of discrimination), writes the secretary, “ended with the primary elections and nominating conventions which now have been held and in which the voters have had opportunity to declare themselves.” As soon as the President found that the insur- gent Republicans were not a few uninfluential discontents who could be kicked out of the party, with impunity, but that their views represented the sentiment of a great body of voters he changed his tactics. He wanted their influence for the sake of the voters who followed their leadership. He wanted the voters to support him for a second term. He is willing to use the power of the patronage to placate and win back the insurgent leaders. This letter illustrates the greatest vices of na- tional politics. It exposes evil tendencies in the Government which menace the permanence of Republican institutions in this country. It dem- onstrates the progress of presidential despotism and congressional subservience through the abuse of the power of the patronage to further the ambition of the President. Secretary Norton’s letter emphasizes the need of two remedial measures: Extending the President’s term of office to six years and making him ineligible for re- election. A radical extension of the civil service system which will réduce the patronage enjoyed by the President to a minimum. = = = . — S/S

THAT ILLINOIS ‘‘VINDICATION,’’ What is known in Illinois as the “plumping” system of voting, that is, permitting the voter who may vote for three members of the Legis- lature to vote three times for one of them, ex- plains what Lee O’Neil Browne and others sus- pected of being in the Lorimer deal are pleased to call their “vindication.” When the election is over and it has been defi- nitely ascertained whether the voters have sup- ported these men or they have been the bene- ficiaries of a ridiculous system of primary voting will be time enough to pass an opinion on the quality of the electorate in their districts. The signs recently have been too many and too wide- spread to permit the belief that even in a single Illinois legislative district is there such public

men can be either vindicated or elected. = = — The pure food officers are making an investi- gation. We hope they will be able to find some. —

= = — — a A LOUISIANA BANDIT. Down in Louisiana the goad people have been having experiences with a female bandit of ex- traordinary enterprise. In a single locality she held up six men in the course of a week. She is described as being but 22 years old, dresses fashionably, but doubtless avoids the hobble skirt, and is so charming that no man has yet resisted her; moreover’ no man has even been rude enough to prefer charges against her. The continued success of the pretty bandit lies in the fact that she is a woman. No man resists, lier. No man tries to have her sent to prison. It appears she was once arrested, but as no one would make a charge against hér, she was re- leased. Chivalry goes a long way in such mat- ters in Louisiana. It seems indeed that if a man were to hesitate to give up his money to a female bandit in that State, and she were to kill him, a jury would acquit her without leaving the courtroom. 3 Under such conditions it is impossible to give much in the way of counsel to the Louisiana, authorities. Perhaps the best thing would be to get some foreign nobleman to come over and make love to the lady and get her to elope with him. If that cannot be done, Louisiana men had better stay at home after dark until the lady migrates. It is expected the Panama Canal will earn 5 per cent on $500,000,000, or enough to warrant re- ducing the duty on sugar 50 per cent, if Repub- lican extravagance doesn’t béat Democratic econ- omy to it. Congressman Richard Bartholdt is solid for universal peace, including any invasion ¢ its placidity in the Tenth District. >. se

LETTERS FROM THE PEOPLE

Register fo St. Louis. To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. We wish to express Our sincere gratitude for the straightforward editorial you published the 15th on prohibition. We have posted notices in our factory, calling our employes’ attention tp the importance of reg- istering next Thursday. We should like, if you) see fit, to have copies of this editorial printed |on large cards and in large type, to display same in our show windows. ST. LOUIS BRASS MFG. C. EDWIN F. GUTH, President and General Manager. (The Post-Dispatch will be glad to supply as many copies of the editarial as may be desired, to firms or individuals wishing to display them as suggested.—Ed. Post-Dispatch.) —— Will Fight Prohibition. To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. Many thanks for the best and truthful article, “To Save St. Louis,” in yesterday’s Post-Dispatch. It will open the eyes of a great many voters. We shall fight against prohibition from now on until this false doctrine is wiped out of the people’s mind. THEODORE BOEHLAN.

‘‘The Last Ohance.’’ To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. It is of the utmost importance that every man be given an opportunity to register on Sept. 22, so that all may be enabled to vote against pro- hibition in the coming fall election. I suggest, therefore, that you inaugurate a movement to make Thursday, Sept. 22 (the last registration day) a holiday, on which day all work shall be suspended so that every working man may have an opportunity to register. This will be the best way to call the attention of the people to the danger that threatens the prosperity of the great State of Missouri. Let the slogan be and let the banners read: “Save Missouri by registering Sept. 22, the last chance.” | ae _ A Prohibitionist View. To ‘the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. i You say vote against prohibition to “save St. Louis.” You mean to damn 8t. Louis. You are an enemy to God and man. You desire to sink and ruin our city. This igs your plan and your heart’s desire. If the people do their duty Missouri will go for prohibition by one hundred thousand ma- jority. A pretty pass things have come to that decent people can’t have a hearing in our daily papers. The people need some new papers and some new banks. Humbly, V. PULLIAM. 4403 Washington boulevard. To “An Anxious Mother.” The writer of letter with this signature is requested to call and see the city editor of the Post-Dispatch. : A Temper:ste Man’s View. To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. Your editorial on prohibition in Thursday’s issue is very timely and should be read and reread by every thinking man in our city. While I have not touched liquor in any form for 16 years, and while I detest a drunkard or any other man who neg- lects his family to indulge his taste for beer, still I en utterly opposed to prohibition for several reasons, First, take into consideration the number of people who would be thrown out of employment and the hardships they would have to endure before obtaining other means of making a living. Let some of these advocates of prohibition stop and consider how many of our good citizens they would drive out of the city who are now engaged in the brewerles, and the great loss of revenuc it would mean; let them consider. the suffering and misery they would visit upon countless women and children by throwing the husband and father out of employment, and the number of business men who would have to close up through the loss of their trade, etc. and then let these prohiWMition advocates show us how they will prevent the inevitable results of their misguided intentions so we may vote intelligently and not vote for the ruination of our good city. I am for decent saloons run by decent people, and believe they should be regulated so as to be a credit to our city, and above all they should be kept out of politics. The Post-Dispatch is first in everythirg,~ but let it be both first and last in this matter. Stay in the fight till prohibition is a dead letter. JOHN DOYLE. Teach Children Vatue of Money. To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. “A Heartbroken Mother” complains of her boys spending their money in the pool rooms while she has a hard time to get along. The old fash- foned Dutch idea is not popular but was very good just the same. The parent made the boys turn in their pay and then gave them spending money and am allowance daNy for expenses. Then when th became of age the parent charged them board. They have been called “the stingy Dutch,” but that’s why so many own their own homes. The trouble with parents now-a-days is that children are not taught the “value of money.” The girls are just as bad as the boys, as they are not satisfied to remain at home to help mother; they prefer to work downtown to be in the excitement of being in the crowd and earn a few dollars with which to buy all kinds of cheap trinkets to adorn themselves with. If parents would be more strict in every way with the children from babyhood, it would be better for both parent and child. A DUTCHMAN. Dogs Should Be Taught. To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. I read with much interest a’‘letter tn your col- umn signed “Harley Davidson,” concerning dogs, or “curs,” as he defines them, running after mo- torcycles. This I admit to be true, but there’s a reason. Now-g-days you seldom if ewer see a dog running after a bicycle unlegs the rider hap- pens to be a butcher’s boy and have aboard .a couple of tempting “lamchops,” which naturally appeal more or less to the dog’s sense of smell. Now the reason of this is quite evident and is as follows: A bicycle going along makes no noise and a dog is accustomed to the sight. A motor- cycle, on the other hand, rushes along with a noise loud enough to make Gabriel’s trumpet a mere apology. And a motorcycle, being less com- mon than an auto and making so much noise, naturally induces a dog to rush out and bark. Now, my dog, or excuse me, “cur,” as “Harley | Davidson” puts it, rushes out and barks at every motorcycle that passes, and I’ve seen many nar- row escapes on the part of the riders to prevent running over my dog. I've tried to break the dog of this bad habit and am finally succeeding. Now. if all owners of dogs or “curs” would try to break their dogs of s habit they would certainly do motorcycle rh3eea 3 Saree aad prevent many ac- cidexia 4 . TWIN CILENDER, >

» ait GUILT IS PERSONAL. From the New York World. Until now the efforts of the Govern- ment to deal with the Beef Trust as an unlawful combination in restraint of trade have verged on the farcica!. Its want of success was so constant as to bring {nto question the sincerity of its intentions. Gullt is always personal. The Sher- man anti-trust law provides no excep- tions to the plainest of principles. It has been in effect since July 2, 1890, and under it the Beef Trust has continually grown in power. The law expressly pre- scribes that ‘‘every person” guilty of violating it, on conviction ‘‘shall be pun- ished by fine not exceeding $5000, or by imprisonment not exceeding one year, or by both punishments, in the discre- tion of the court.” It does not say that the Armours and Swifts and Morrises shall be exempt and only their corpora- tions liable. They have enjoyed per- sonal immunity from prosecution for other reasons. It has taken the Government all these years to give to the law a meaning which it requires on its face.

THE PLOT REVEALED. From the Glasgow Missourian. the fight for Francis against Reed ani is trying to make it appear that senti- ment in the State is rapidly turning to Francis. It is quite well known that the Star’s opposition to Mr. Reed is founded on its fight against the Metropolitan Street Railway, a purely local fight, which neither has nor could have any- thing to do with the contest for, th» Senatorial nomination. The Star pro- fesses to be independent in politics, but in reality it is Republican to the core. In James A. Reed it sees th? strongest possible’ Democratic candi- date, and this fact coupled with Mr: Reed's connection with the Metropolitan Co., as attorney, prompted it to. at- tack him. The Star's political influence is not as potent as it once was, and it cannot seriously hurt Mr. Reed by mak- ing a fight on him. The average voter is today better informed, better quall- fled to vote according to his own judg- ment, and hence less dependent upwn the advice of the big daily papers. The mass of the Democratic voters 'n Missouri know full well:the compara tive merits of Mr. Reed and Mr. Francis as aspirants for the honor of represen'- ing this State in the Senate, and they are not at al) likely to be fooled by the vindictive attacks of the Star.

A Big Seat. From the Jefferson County Republican. The Democrats who have been wor- rying about the lack of Republican candidates for United States Senatur can spend their time now worrying over the prospect of the election of a good strong Republican to take Senator Warner's seat when he vacates it March 4, 1911. Major Warner has made thet seat too big for a Democrat.

Why, it is a dawning era of new life, new hope to her. To have him say, ‘‘That’s fine!’’ It is the growing seed of married happiness. Of course it is unnecessary to go into a rapture of ecstasies over anything. No sane, sensible man or woman seeks or expects that. But every wife, every husband at SOME time actually NEEDS the word of praise for the mutual good of both. . It is SO easy to give it. It costs NOTHING. It breathes a kindly consideration to the recipient. Besides it has a double mission. For if we give it, it becomes habit, second nature, and we receive in LIKE measure. THOUGHTFULNESS is born. It grows into strength of under- standing. Understanding is the key to happiness. _ - GET THE KEY! “ Love and Matrimony Advice on Affairs of the Heart,Written for the Post-Dispatch By BETTY VINCENT. OUNG people, you have most of you had your vacations by this time. And I imagine you have most of you had some little love affair while you were away in the country. What I wish to warn you against is taking these summer flutterings of the heart too seriously. We all of us, when we are young, are more or less affected by the moon and the balmy air. The thing to avoid is allowing _ our mid-summer madness to lead us too far. Many a girl is charming to sit beside on a quiet evening in the country and listen to the sweet noth- ings you whisper in her ear. But there is dnly one girl who is charming enough for you to sit beside her all your life, so just be gure the girl in the country is that one before you ask her to become your wife. And, my dear girls, many a man boasts of the gallant deeds he would do for you, as you stroll down a woodland path, but just you make sure before you promise to marry him that he is really the man to do the gallant deeds when you walk through life together. : B. BD. writes: “Could you suggest a suitable present for a young lady I met while on my vacation?

PRING in Paris, which comes in a fashion so divine that even the most calloused and indifferent are impressed by its beauty, awakened no an- swering response in the heart of the young man who, from his hotel window, looked out on the desecrated gardens of the Tuil- erles—on the distant spires of the churches whose names he did not know —on the square block of old palaces. He had missed the boat across the Channel taken by Letty Lane, and the delay had made him lose what little trace of her he had. In the early hours of the morning he had flung himself in at the St. James, taken the indifferent room they could give him in the crowd- ed season, and, excited as he was, slept and did not waken until nogn. Blair thought it would be a matter of a few hours only to find the where- abouts of the celebrated actress, but it was not such an easy job. He had not guessed that she might be traveling in- cognita, and at none of the hotels could he hear news of her, nor did he pass her in the crowded, noisy, crying streets, though he moters for her with eager eyes, and haunted restaurants and cafes, and went everywhere that he thought she might be likely to be. 7 At the end of the third day, unsuc- cessful and in despair, having hardly slept and scarcely eaten, the unhappy young lover found himself taking a slight luncheon in the little restaurant known as the Perouse down on the Quais. -His head on his hand, for the resent moment the joy of life m him, he look windows at the Seine, at the bridge and the lines of flowering trees. e was the only occupant of the upper room where, of late, he had ordered his luncheon. The tide of life rolled slowly In this quieter part of the city, and as Blair th under the window there ng a shrill, sweet erent from any ‘’o searched n saber was + eee clamors, wit were full, that he got THE GIRL suing his old rustling, FROM HIS up, walked to the window and leaned out. It was a pastoral that met his eyes. A man piping, followed by litt}e pattering goats; the primitive, unlook- ed-for picture caught his tired atten- tion, and, just then, opposite the Quais, two women passed—flower sellers, their baskets bright#@ with crocuses and girofles. The bright picture touched him and something of the sprinklike beauty that the day wore and that dwelt in the May light, soothed him as nothing had for many hours. ) He paid his bill, took courage, picked up his ‘hat and gloves and stick and walked out briskly, crossing the bridge to the Rue de Rivolt, determined that night should: not fall until he found the woman he sought. Nor did it, though the afternoon wore on and Dan, pur- trails, wandered from worldly meeting place to worldly meet- ing place. Finally, toward six o’clock, he saw the lengthening shadows steal into the woods of the Bois de Boulogne, and in one of the smaller alleys, where the green-trunked trees of the forésts were full of pufple shadows and yellow sun discs, flickering down, he picked up a small iron chair and sat himself down, with a long sigh, to rest. While he sat there watching the end of the allee as it gave out into the broader road, a beautiful red motor rolled up to the conjunction of the two ways and Letty Lane, in a summer frock, got out alone. She had a flowing white veil around her head and a flow- ing white scarf around her shoulders. As the day on the Thames, she was a]! in white—like a dove. But this time her costume was made vivid and picture- sque by the coral parasol she carried, a pair of coral-colored kid shoes, around her neck and falling on their long chain, she wore his coral beads. He saw that he observed her before she did him. All this Dan saw before he dashed into, the road, came up to her with pore 2 a like a cry on his Hps, bare- headed, for his hat and his stick and his gloves were by his chair in the woods. Letty Lane’s hands went to her heart and her face took on a deadly pallor. She did not seem glad to’see him. Out of his passionate description of the hours that he had been through, of how he had looked for her, of what he thought and wanted and felt, the act- ress made what she could, listening to him as they both stood there under the shadows of the green trees. Scanning her face for some sign that she loved him, for it tah Pl ne ae cared for, Dan saw no suc ndication there. - ished with: _ “You know what Ruggles told you was a lie. Of course, I’ve got money enough to give you everything you want. He’s a lunatic and*ought to be shut up.” “It may have been a lie, all right,” she said with forced indifference: “I’ve had time to think it over. You:are too young. You don’t know what you want.”” She stopped his protestations: “Well, then, I am too‘old and I don’t want to be tied down.”’ When he pressed her to tell him whether or not she had ceased to care for him, she shook her head slowly, marking on the ground fine tracery gone ed out ‘through the}you I can get there, and gratifying result to cared.” “She saw the determination on his fine young face, worn by his sleepless nights, already matured and chan TOWN we By Marie Van Vorst and she belleved him. ‘“‘Paris,”” he nodded toward the gate of the woods which opened upon Paris, ‘is the place to begin in—right here. A man,” he went on, and his lips trem- bled, ‘‘can only feel like this once in his life. You know all the talk there is about young love and first love. Well, that’s what I’ve got for you, and I’m going to turn it now—right now—into just what older people warn men from, and do their best to prevent. I have seen enough of Paris,’ he went on, ‘these days I have been looking for you, to know where to go and what to do, and I am setting off for it now.” She touched his arm. “No,” she murmured. ‘‘No, boy, you are not going to do any such things!’’ This much from her was enopgh for him. He caught her hand and cried: “Then you marry me. What do we care for anybody else in the world?’’ “Go back and get your hat and stick and gloves,’”’ she commanded, keeping down the tears. “No, no, you come with me, Letty; I’m not going to let you run to your motor and escape me again.” “Go; I'll wait here,’”’ she promised. “IT give you my word.” As he snatched ef the inanimate ob- jects from the eaf-strewn ground where he had thrown them in despair, he thought how things can change in a quarter of an hour. For he had hope now, as he hurried back, as he walked with her to her car, as he saw the lit- tle coral shoes stir in the leaves when she passed under the trees. The little coral shoes trod on his heart, but now it was light under her feet! Jubilant to have Overcome the fate which had tried to keep her hidden from him in Paris, he could hardly be- lieve his eyes that she was before them again, and, as the motor rolled into the Avenue des Acacias, he asked her the question uppermost in his mind: “Are you alone in Paris, Letty?’’ ‘Don’t you count?” ‘“‘No—no—bonestly, you know what I mean.”’ “You haven't any right to ask me t ‘ “Il have—I have. You gave me a right. You’re engaged to me, aren’t haven't forgotten, ave Gosh, ou you?” ‘“Dom@t make me conspicuous in the Bois, Dan,” she said; “I only let you come with me because you were s0 terribly desperate, so ridiculous.’’ “Are you alone?” he persisted. “I have got to know.” “Higgins is with me.” “Oh, God,’ he cried wildly, ‘thhow can you joke with me? Don’t you under- stand you’re breaking my heart?’ But she did not dare to be kind to him, knowing it would unnerve her for the part she had yond to play. He sat gripping his hands tightly to- gether, his lips white. “When I leave you now,” he said brokenly, “I am go- ing to find that devil of a Hungarian and do him up. Then I am going to tackle Ruggles.”’ “Why, what’s poor Mr. Ruggles got to do with it?” Dan cried scornfully: “For God's sake, don’t keep this up! You know the rot he told you? I made him confess. He has had this mania all along about money being a handicap; he was bent ing this game with some girl to it worked.” H , he said: “ listen, little bo but it won't ou? b heart, if I have to rip the earth open to get them out.’’ She understood that Dan believed Ruggles’ story to have been a cock-and- bull one. “You talk as though you could buy me, Dan. Wait, listen.” She put’ him back from her. “Now, if you won’t be quiet, I’m going to stop my car.” He repeated: ‘‘Tell me, are you alone in Paris? Tell me. For three days Il have wandered and searched for you everywhere. I have hardly eaten a thing, I don’t believe I have slept a wink.’”’ And he told her of his weary search. She listened to him, part of the time her white-gloved hand giving itself u to the boy; part of ithe time bot hands folded together and away from him, her arms crossed on her breast, her small shoes of coral kid tapping the floor of the car. Thus they rolled leis- urely along the road by the Bois. Through the .green-trunked trees the sunlight fell Pinne! 6 On the lake the swans swam, plum their feathers; there were children there in their rib- bons and furbeliows. The whole world went by gay and careless, while for Dan the problem of his existence, his possibility for happiness or pain was comprised within the little room of the motor car. “Are you alone in Paris, Letty?’’ And she sald: “Oh, what a bore you gre! You’re the most obstinate crea- ture. Well, I am alone, but that has nothing to do with you.” A glorious light broke over his face; his relief was tremendous. “Oh, thank God!’’ he breathed. ‘‘Poniotowsky’’—and she said his name with difficulty—‘‘is coming to- night from Carlsbad.” The boy threw back his bright head and laughed yon: “Curse him! e very name makes me want to commit a crime. He will go over my body to you. You hear me, Letty. mean what I say.’’ People had already remarked them as_ they passed. The actress: was too well known to pass unobserved, but she was indifferent to their curiosity or to the existence of any one but this excited Oy. Blair, who had not opened a paper since he came to Paris, did not know that Letty Lane’s flight from London had created a scandal in the theatrical world, that her manager Was — her, and that to be seen with her driving in the Bois was a conspicuous thing in- deed. She thought of it, however. “I am going to tell the man to drive you to the gate on the other side of “ie park where it’s quieter, we stared at, and then I want you to leave me and let me go to the Meurice alone. You must, Dan, you“n\st let me #) to the hotel alone.” He laughed again in the same strained ee and forced her hand to remain in his. “Look here.

Dan cried her name in a voice whose appeal was like a hurt creature’s, and as the hurt creature in = its eusrering sometimes springs upon its torturer, he flung his arms around her as she sat in the motor, held her and kissed her, then set her free, and as the motor flew along, tore open the door to spring out or to throw himseir out, but clinging to him she prevented his mad act. She stopped the car eee. the edge of the quiet, wooded allee. Blair saw that ze had terrified her. She covered her beat- ing heart with her hands and gasped at him that he was “crazy, crazy,’ and perhaps a little late his dignity and self-possession returned. I am mad,” he acknowledged more calmly, “and I am sorry that I fright- ona you. But you drive me mad.’ thout further word he got out and left her agitated, leaning toward him, x and Blair, less qjle and thoroughly the ; she sent man, lifted his hat to her and, with oods to give unusual grace, bowed good night andi .ccripnpied wo good-bye.

Sept. 17.—With the return of the Harvard football squad from two weeks of practice on the Maine Coast, yesterday, and with-the opening of regular drill on Soldiers’ Field, next Monday, the football season will be under full headway. A squad of about thirty men from the sixty or more who will be out for the Harvard varsity and second teams, has been at Oceanville, Me., since Sept. 1 as guests at the camp of Dr. H. S. Blodgett of Lincoln, whose two sons are candidates for the team. The extra two weeks of practice which Harvard has already had should have the effect’ of starting the team off well. The drill in the Maine camp was largely on the fundamentals of the new game and on development of new styles of attack and defense. Eight days of practice on _ Sol- diers’ Field remain before the first game, which will be against Bates on Sept. 28, ana by that time the team should be pretty well grounded in the essentials of the new football, It was said today that Fullback Minot and Tackle Bob McKay will be eligible for the Harvard varsity this season, having plugged over their books at the Harvard engineering camp, Squall Lake, New Hampshire,, all summer. They will join the squad on Sol- dier’s Field Monday afternoon. YALE WILL NOT MISS LOST VETERANS, SAYS TED COY NEW HAVEN, Conn., Sept. 17.—With two days of the Yale football practice over. Head Coach Coy looks forward optimistically to a good season. Neither is Coach Coy pessimistic regarding the new rules. He was asked today regarding the squad. “Over forty men have already reported,’”’ he said, ‘‘and the active work has been taken up. There will be scrimmages next week and the team will be in fine shape when we reach New Haven for the first game a week from next Wednesday. ‘“‘The outlook for the season i very, good, think, despite the loss of the veterans. he material is first-class and the men have shown the best of spirit in the early days of practice, which to many are the hardest. “The new rules, I think, will not make the game uninteresting, in spite of the crit- icism, ane they are sure to mae the game safer.’ The squad will stay at Lakeville until Sept. 27. when it will come to New Haven for the Wesleyan game. FORMIDABLE ELEVEN STARTS TRAINING AT DARMOUTH U, HANOVER, N. H., Sept. 17.—-Dartmouth opened her football season yesterday with two sessions of practice on the oval. Thir- ty-five men reported and were put through light preliminary practice by Capt. Ryan. Two sessions will be held daily until college opens next Thursday. Each train is adding to the number of candidates and by next week there should be 100 men out. The outlook tora good teum is very bright this year, as 10 ‘"D’’ men are returning. Seven of last year’s regular team are available and already four of them are on the field. There are several good men coming from the last freshmen eleven and a host + new material. The coaching is under the direction of Head Coach Randall and he is being assisted by Coaches Keady and Tobin. Several of the old players have signified their intention of returning to help in the work. FIRST NEW, FOOTBALL GAME WILL BE PLAYED TODAY KINGSTON, N. Y.. Sept.’ 17.—The first Eastern football game of the fall season is on the athietic program. at Kingston, today. The eleven of New York University. which has been studying the new rules in practice In training camp at Fly Mountain, N. Y¥., for several weeks past, plays its initial game this afternoon with a team of alumni on the Kingston Academy grounds. The New York University coaches declare that the new rules as seen in practice have proven eminently successful. “The changes, while radical. are excel- lent,’’ says Capt. Galloway. “and will mean not only a more interesting game, but .a #quarer, fairer contest. Our men have hed little difficulty in mastering the essential eneiavaapeanred over last year’s play.’’ Tae

FOOTBALL RULES TO BE CLARIFIED Will- Agree on Interpretation of Mooted Points.

CHICAGO, Sept. 17.—Football will un- dergo one more clinic when the coaches and officials of the “big eight’’ and of the Missouri Valley conference meet hefe'today to clarify the 1910 rules. At least fifty gridiron experts will be pres- ent to give. their interpretations of dis- puted points, and a warm session is in prospect. The meeting will be the first of its kind held in the West since 1906, when Walter Camp visited the city and ex- plained his views of the forward pass. The gridiron authorities will have the benefit of first-hand explanation of the rules, as four members of the Nation- al: Committee are. slated to attend. Coach A. A.

The training table will not be established until Oct. 1, the day of the first game of the season with Stevéns. “Tubbie’’ Waller, '10, is assisting Roper. Capt.

the end of the first round of 18 holes in the final match of the National Ama- teur Championship.Tournament at the Country Club today. Fownes went around the course in al- most perfect figures. He was very steady, while Wood was erratic, es- pecially on the green, and missed short putts were common. Recalling yesterday’s performance, however, when Woods: was 4 down to Tuckerman at the -same stage of the match, the gallery of five or six hundred enthusiasts which still witnessed the con- test, felt that Wood’s chances of win- ning the championship were not yet lost.

En- tries closed this morning and pairings are being made. The list includes most of the best players in the city and doubtless the event will prove a big success this vear. Some of the players who merely played a fair game last year have im- proved greatly this season, and will no doubt give Drummond Jones and Guv Oliver, conzeded to be the two best players in the city, a great battle. Elmer Adkins and Roland Hoerr are two players. who have shown excep- tional improvement since last season.

Bodie made his twen- ty-sixth homer of thé year in a recent game between the Seals and the Angels by knocking the ball far out over the center- field fence, which is some distance from the home plate. Bodie fs to be with the White Sox next year, having been drafted by Comiskey two weeks ago. Chief Bender willyvlikely pitch two games in the world’s series. That is, he will pitch the second if he wins the first, which the Cubs think he will not do.

Nap recruits in the Pacific Coast are going to try and win fame as Street and Sullivan did by catching a pail off Wash- ington monument.

BHEUMATISM WEAK KIDNEYS & THIN BLOOD Not only is the blood the great nourishing source gf our systems, but equally as important is its work of removing the waste of oxodized tissues which ha¥@ been consumed in force and bodily heat. This waste is filtered’ out through the kidneys. When, however, the kidneys become weak and unable to perform their regular duties, the waste is allowed to remain in, the circulation, soon forming uric acid which destroys the greater portion of nourishing ele- ments of the blood and leave it weak and acrid. This imperfect blood de- posits into the different muscles and joints the uratic impurity with which it iscontaminated. Then the pains and aches of Rheumatism commence. The gritty formation which uric acid causes collects in the joints and pro- duces the aches and stiffness which | always accompany thedisease.

P in Chicago today football is un- dggoing another operation. Ex- perts from all over the West are assembled there to assist in the vivi- section of the sport, so that a knowl- edge of the vitals of the new game may betome common property. After the operation the assembled educators will probably adjourn to the mad house. The mere fact of the necessity of such a meeting testifies to the character of the game as handei over, to the Amer- ican colleges by the surgeons who took out its appendix and a few of its vital organs last fall. Even the men who assisted at this crime are unable to recognize their own handiwork and it is* said that today even Dean Walter Camp has his doubts whether the sport will be one of forward passes or the army game; one of big-men or little- men, teams; one of big scores, smaller scores or none at all. Misinformation Caused Trouble. What condition is it that permits per- sons to tamper with this particular pastime? Imagine a committee annual- ly sitting on the abdomen of cricket, so te speak, and making up its mind which part of it ought to be rearranged each year. England would c-y “sacrilege!”’ The howls of a few ill-informed persons have warped the greatest game in the world out of its orig- inal meaning and intent. After crim- inally altering the sport, in defer- ence to those who have not even taken the pains to authenticate the alleged causes of their fancied griev- ances, they hand us over a denatured sport that jis neither fish, flesh nor fowl, but a hybrid.-. In place of an exact science we have now a helter- skelter haphazard sport that the or- iginators of the old game would not recognize. Bring Back Real Football. HE next change in the football T rules will have to be back to first principles or there will be no principles left at all. ‘In the meantime the onJy way to make the fame acceptable under the present conditions is to have the officials reach an agreement to interpret cer- tain restrictions as kindly as pos- sible.

CARDINALS-DOVE SERIES EVEN UP Bach T eam Wins Five Games of Ten Played on Boston Grounds.

ROSTON, Sept. 17.—It was five-all in the games between St. Louis and Boston, played here this year. The Cardinals twice won double-headers. Yesterday’s 7—5 victory for Beston ‘cinched the season’s tie. Minor leaguedom was well represented at game. Billy Hamilton, once the crack baserunner of the land, who landed Lynn second in the, New England League, was there; also Mike Finn, so long with Little Rock and this year at the head of the champion Waterbury (Conn.) club, Catcher Harry Smith has parted company with the locals and gone to the Brooklyns. With Graham and Rariden on the team, Smith was an expensive luxury to have around. The Cardinals certainiy made a mighty good showing in the series, hustling for all they were worth. If they work as well in the other cities of the trip they will make it mighty hard for Brooklyn to get ahead of them. Shean made a marvelous left-hand catch of Johnny Lush’s line drive in the second. Roger wanted to cinch the last game anda so trotted Johnny Lush into thé box again.

The flone was first laid April 22, 1860, and Was taken from its place last June to ,epable contractors to construct the tow- efs which had never been completed. ‘The cornerstone was laid by Bishop Tuttle, assisted by Dean Davis and other members of the clergy. The Tow- er Committee of “the church attended the ceremonies and assisted in the ser- vices. Mrs. Ada B. Hayneg and Thomas Hayden, who attended the laying of the stone Friday, were the only persons present who attended the exercises 50 years ago, when the cornerstone was originally placed.

Responses to the appeal for $800 more for the Post-Dispatch Pure Milk and Free Ice Fund are being made. Forty- two dollars and forty-two cents of the desired $800 already is in. Miss Jane Weaver gave the campaign for the last $800 a good impetus by a donation of $10. It had been suggested that all that could afford to do so send in $1 each. Miss Weaver has done as much as 10 persons might be expected to do. Miss Weaver opens the way for nine others to send in 10 cents each. It will amount to the same as if Miss Weaver and 10 others had each given one dollar. One dollar was contributed by “A Mother,"’ and another dollar by John H. Robinson, 8116 Minnesota avenue. There is now in the fund $3242.42. A total of $4000 is what is needed to keep the credit of the fund in good condition and to buy all the milk needed for the babies of the poor in St. Louts. Many Mothers Aided. The Pure Milk: and Free Ice Fund aids others besides the very poor. It helps mothers who could afford the standard price for cheap milk, but who have not the means to purchase the high quality of milk that her baby must have to prosper. ‘ ‘ The two booths which will be conduct- ed for the benefit of the Post-Dispatca Pure Milk and Free Ice Fund at the Pure Food Show, will be immediately at the left of the front entrance to the coliseum. The Pure Food Show opens Monday, Sept. 19. Each day the booths will be in charge of a different hostess. Miss Alice Marie Doering will be ths hostess Monday. Tuesday the booths will be in charge of Miss Ollie Moellman and Miss Evelyn Spuehler. . Wednesday Mrs. I. L. Green will have charge. Thursday Mrs. J. F. Liebke will be hostess and on Friday Miss’ Bess Peters. Miss Harmon Noonan will have charge of the booths on the last day of the show, Saturday. Saturday will be babies’ day in par- ticular at the Pure Food Show. The tween 2 and 3 p. m. on Saturday will be turned over to the Post-Dispatch Pure Milk and Free Ice Fund. A majority of those who have booths at the show are going to give to the Pure Milk Fund the proceeds of their sales during this hour. Articies Will Be Cheap. Among the articles that will be sold at the Pure Milk and Free Ice Fund booths are candy, toys, whole wheat bread and packages of prepared food. There will be a bargain in prices. The articles will be sold at the booths cheaper than you could buy them any cther place. Do not pass by the Pure Milk and Free Ice Fund booths or you will be cheating yourself. You cannot overlook these booths, they will be im- mediately on your left as you enter the building. One of the best entertainments of the season will be the baseball game be- tween the police and firemen at the National League baseball grounds Sat- urday, September 24. To begin with there are crack base- ball players améng both the police and firemen, and that will insure good baseball. But in addition to the base- ball there is going to be a contest. Just how the contest will shape itself would be hard to determine in advance. The policemen and the firemen will be out in great numbers and both sides are determined to win the game. The line-ups of the two teams have been tentatively agreed upon, as pub- lished in Friday’s Post-Dispatch, but important changes may be’ made be- tween now and the date for the game.

REVIEWS OF NEW BOOKS

having intimated in a news “note that H. G. Wells wrote “George Meek, Bath-chairman.” In the several introdyctions to the Am- erican edition it is asserted that Mr. Wells only acted as a friend in court for Mr. Meek and, while such intro- ductory assertions are usually be- lieved to be only literary devices for the enhancement of the readers’ pleasure, the American publisher em- W: are BE rebuked for is guiltless. The book then is the autoblography of a failure—a being born of incom- petent parents, poorly reared, physic- ally ‘deficient and always incapabie. In spite of bad eyes he read a great deal and gained some smatterings of culture; read. enough to enable him to sprinkle a few words from Euro- pean languages through his text, such as: “Two of our queerest specimens we owe to the petite bourgeoise,”: and “as to the morals devant les scenes --well, they were the same as any- where else.” His parents emigrated to America, but as his eyes were bad, he was left behind in Eastbourne, England, with his grandparents. His father was burned to death in a Brooklyn thea- ter fire; his nmyother returned to En- gland and became a cabman’s mis- tress. George, grown,to youth cap- able of labor was put to tasks that irked him and he ran away to Lon- don, where he starved miserably. Back in Eastbourne he labored amic- ably for kinsmen in a bakery. At various times he worked in bakertes, but so ingrained was his incompe- tence that he never learned the bak- er’s trade. Some accident dislodged him and he wandered jobless many times. There was always someone near who could and would do the work better than George Meek, and who therefore took the job. No amount of hardship taught him the way to permanent employment and no opportunity was seized with in- telligent grasp. Here is a characteristic passage apropos of his preparation for a casual job of hop picking: “I provided myself with a 6-penny pork pie and some groceries to take out to Hadlow Down, but I left the pork pie on the corner of the Stretton’s piano. From Heathfield I had a long walk of seven miles to Hadlow Down. Buxted is the nearest railway station, but it is much farther from Eastbourne and con- sequently costs more to reach. When I got to the village Mrs. Ashby said she was sorry but she could not put me up. She recommended me to a neighboring cottage where the people let me have a room and she sold me some pork for my Sunday dinner on credit. She was a fine soprano singer and had been on the stage.”’ In this futile way he lived, in this haphazard way he wrote his auto- bigraphy. Here and there it flashes in- terestingly, but in the main it is dreary, dreary, dreary. Such a record proves nothing. sociologically, It is a sad re- cital of individual incapability. From One casual job to another George Meek drifts until he becomes a wheeler of a chair such as we saw at the St. Louis World’s Fair and which is a popular means for getting about for lazy folk and invalids at’ English: resorts. The pay is meager and tho. gratuities fluc- tuate from pennies to pounds. Meek married~and his wife bore a daughter who is being reared in lodgings which he refers to as venemous. He is a bit of an agitator, but not dangerous; he is made up of bits, an intellectual and physical pauper, too cowardly to steal and too fluid to find a proper profit in h.s work. Mr. Wells says of Meek’'s affairs that they are “unavoidably dingy, unavoid- ably. dirty.”” He might well have added “unavoidably dreary, in the telling.’”’ (Dutton.) “ONE BRAVER THING.” ICHARD DEHAN has written a — story of the Boer War that is gripping, stirring, horrible, in- tense, convincing, graphic. He writes as one who went through the experi- ences of which he tells, there is an air of accuracy, sincerity and truthfulness about his descriptions that remind one of the work of the photographic plate. His characters are real men and wom- en, they go through experiences that are real, though at times horrible. The author is particularly happy in de- scribing the terrifying, the awful, the grewsome. He does not seem to ex- actly revel in it, but he is so full of it that he must get it out of his system. Many réaders will suggest that he is telling his personal experiences on the theory that “‘None can feel another's woe as deeply as. his own.”’ He is prodi- gal in his characters, he introduces them with a wealth of detail, takes three or four chapters to start them on their way and then kills them as briefly and unconcernedly as he would have them eat dinner at the Officers’ Club at Gueldersdorp. This wealth of material has made ‘‘Qne Braver Thing’’ a longer book that it should be. The 610 pages could be cut down a third or a half without losing any of the vital elements of the story. These digressions, while interesting, de- lay the reader in reaching thé end of the story, delay his finding out What will ultimately happen to the Dope Doc- tor, the Mother Superior, the Colonel, the orphaned heroine with a heritage of dishonor and a childhood of whicn she can think only with a shudder. The book would better please readers whose time is limited had it been edited and cut down to essentials. One learns in reading the book much inside history of the events that led up to the Boer War. Though written by an Englishman, there is an appar- ent fairness that is commendable. There is abuse for the Boer, to be sure, but the Englishman is not always praised. The villain is an Englishman who claims to be a Boer, and a devilish mean villain he is, too. Most of the characters that are accuartely and carefully drawn are English, the Boers are only sketched in. Officers’ Club-in Gueldersdorp just pesreragy hostilities broke out, the au- thor tells of the various trifling topics discussed by the men soon to be engaged in bloody fighting, and adds:

But though the watch fires of “GEORGE a .BATH CHAIR. . phatically reiterates that’ Mr. Wells In describing an evening at the : their aitiad burne& upon the veld, and though the Boer lay in laager over the border, of him tHey said not one word, That reticence upon the vital point was characteristically English. The Gaul would have wept, kneaded his manly bosom, and aliuded to his mother; the Muscovite would have wept also, referring to his Little Father, the Czar; the Teuton woulq have poured forth oceans of sentiment about the Father- land; the Spaniard,. like these, would have recognized himself as a warrior upon the verge of a Homeric struggle, and said so candidly; the hysterical American would have sung “Hail Columbia” and ‘waved pocket-handkerchief- sized replicas of the star spangled banner untill too exhausted: to agitate or vocalize. Patriotic Americans will add to this information regarding racial charac- teristics that the Amercan would have then gone out on the veld and walloped the Hfe out of the Boer, something the Englishmen failed to do. | There should be a glossary for the benefit of those who do not know the meaning of “kloof,” “coomb,” “spate,” “laager,’ etc. And the author’s de- sire for local color leads him into a curlous error on page three, where he refers to the “sweat-drenched backs of the ox-team.’”’ Unless the South African ox is of a different type to those known to naturalists he does not sweat. Those in Missouri certainly do not. One wishes that the American pub- lisher had knocked one of the gut- terals out of Mr. Dehan’s “waggon.” One “g” is a sufficient load for the heavy vehicles used on South African velds. (Duffiend & Co., New York.) “NATHAN BURKE.” AVE you discovered ‘Nathan LH Burke’? If you have not, you have in prospect such a picture of American life as does not occur in our literature once in 20 years. The principal character of the book, whom the, reader is to infer was a real char- acter in our history, was a youth. in Ohio in the 1830's and ’40’s. He was a typical product of the place and time, and the story of his life is a romance of romances. He was a deer-hunting youth He hunted with a man-who had fough: British and Indians. He went to town in his ‘teens, and grew up with the re- public. A lawyer, a participant in the Mexican War, a spectator in the famous “Tippecanoe and Tyler too’ campaign, which is said to have been without an equal in ourshistory—at once a pioneer, lover, soldier! How one does relive those times in this wonderful book! What characters live in its pages, and hew one does see old Zachary Taylor, Gen. Scott and the men with whom Burke marched and worked! The author is a Cincinnati woman, Mary 8S. Watts. She acknowledges her obligations to many, historical reposi- turies, from which we are led to be- lieve that Burke himself wrote a great deal of the story, which she embel- lished. Whose dialect enriches it—dia- lect with a charm that is indefinable” Whose literary instinct makes it one beok in a thousand? The reader would give much to know. If you have not heard of it, do not fail to look it up. You will be repaid. (Macmillan.) “THE KEY TO YESTERDAY.” HE poor amnesiac, who has forgot- + ten who he is and what he has done, has had a hard time of it in fiction, as he has in real life—or as he would have, if amnesia and sober sanity ever really went together. But Charles Neville Buck, not content with burden- ing his hero with an acute case of am- nesia, has made his lot still harder by supplying him with a wieked double—in fact, an embezzler. There’s a case of hard luck for you! Robert Saxon, the hero, looks so much like Carter, the embezzler and fugitive, that he is taken for Carter repeatedly; and, not being able to remember who he is, he can’t be sure but he really is Carter. Duska Filson—name of a name, as they say in Paris, what a name!—doesn’t believe Saxon is Carter, or that he has ever been anything less noble than the talented artist he is, whose only fault is that he copies the great Marston too closely. Duska and Saxon become be- trothed, and he slips away to the South American country where Carter’s mis- ter or not. Duska and her aunt follow on the next ship, and all get themselves into the midst of a South American rev- olution, and land eventually where the old key, mystery is solved in a manner which ex-

Schabelitz is the illustrator. . (W. J. Watt & Co.) “THE LOST ART OF CONVERSA- TION.” URELY there must be a goodly S profit in the publication of books. There seems to be a market nox only for all sorts of new books and new editions of old books, but for books made up of compilations from old books. A case in point is the appearance of a volume of selected essays on con- versation. The selections are put to- gether under the title, ‘““‘The Lost Art of Conversation.’”” They include Bacon's famous essay on “Discourse” and a :e- ries of papers by De Quincy, Mahaffy, Dean Swift, Hazlett and Robert Louis Stevenson. The compendium makes a volume of unequal merit, but of in- disputable interest. It is curious to note in Dean Swift's ‘‘Genteel Conver- sation’’ how many phrases are em- ployed as ‘‘witticisms’’ that still live among children as established forms of humor. The book will serve excei- lently to while away a dull hour for those who delight in pure literature when the style is perfect and the sense simple enough to be understood without . effort. Suth a compilation is, of course, 0 great thing in the way of editing or bookmaking, but nevertheless it is pleas- ant to have all these widely scattered essays brought together in a single vo:- ume. If they do not teach the art of conversation they at least serve to re- call some of the great conversers of old, and give the reader the benefit of at least an intimation of their charm and distinction. (“The Lost Art of Capailnaineniain eae Horatio S. Kraus. Sturgis & Walton Co., New York.) . “THE BARRIER.” ENE BAZIN is at times a fascinat- ~ ing writer, at other times only mildly interesting; but always the reader feels that he is a more than or- dinarily faithful portrayer of charac-|}- ters and conditions. For that reason, a twentieth century novel from his pen, in which the relig- ious spirit is proclaimed as dominat- ing the time, and in which the commer- cial spirit is almost ignored, is the more strking. “The Barrier” tells of the conquest of faith over worldliness in two lives. It is a sketch rather than a story. “Not peace, but a sword,”’ is the re- sult of the religious zeal of Reginald Breynolds. During the process of his conversion from Anglicanism to Ro- man Catholicism, the comment of Mme. Limerel to her daughter Marie is: “The longer you live, the more con- vinced you will be that the bitterest dissensions are not over money and material things, but involve souls and consciences. There has never been a time so theological as ours, so stirred to its depths by ofposing’ spiritual forces. Where is there a family, either of believers or sceptics, that lives in perfect peace?” Reginald’s estrangement from his father, a sturdy old-school Briton, be- gins whon the youth refuses to fol- low a toast to “The King,” by drink- ing one to “The Church.” Disinheri- tance follows, and Reginald, wavering on the brink of Catholicism, goes first to Paris, that he may see the church of Rome in the land where it has suf- fered most, then to Rome, where his change of faith becomes final. Marie is a strongly spiritual charac-

(Charles Scribner’s Sons.) “THE BOY AVIATORS ON SECRET SERVIOBR.” =HE adventures of the boy aviators 4 are just as exciting on secret service as they were in Nicar- agua, as told in the first book of the boy aviator series. In the Golden Eagle II, successor to the Golden Eagle destroyed in South America, Frank and Henry Chester penetrate the Everglades in search of a plant for the manufacture of a high ex- plosive, the process for which had been stolen from the Government. They are captured and subsequently rescued. A United States torpedo boat its notified by wireless that a submarine has been loaded with the high explosive. Surrounded by a for- est fire, escape is attempted by five in an aeroplane built for four. With four overcome by the, smoke, the fifth cuts loose the wireless apparatus and the aeroplane mounts to ae safe height. They sail away to the tor- pedo boat. When the alien submarjne comes out, it is disabled, and the ex- plosive is sunk in the sea. The boys prepare to go to Africa, where they will have more adventures, to be told of in the next book. (Hurst & Co., New York.) ~ little book, “The Why of the * Will,” tries to prove the doc- trine of determinism—the absence of any real power of choice or selection. In doing so, he practically denies the reality of the will, as defined by th dictionaries and as usually understood. According to the Standard dictionary, the will is “the power ef willing; the power of conscious, ¢specially of deliber- ate, action.”” And Webster defines it as “the power of choosing; the faculty or DENIAL OF THE WILL. W. VAN PEYMA, M. D., in his

power of the soul by which ft is ca- pable of choosing.” Calling attention to the fact, well known, that a human being’s earliest activities are practically automatic and determined, and are clearly the expres- sion of the interaction of the organism and its environment, Dr. Peyma urges that all later activities are due no less to the interaction of these two factors, although in adult life there is a grad- ual increase of influences appealing to, and acting through, the mind. But, in the case of conscious and in- telligent adults, the determinism or trend of action is known to the actor. It is conscious. And the author adds: “That to this conscious determinism. we give the name of ‘will,’ does not change the nature, nor the inevitas.s= character of the act.”
