Jone. president and secretary, respectively, of the West Knd Honey Order Company, who are charged with a violation of the Breeders' Mil. jesterday caused the Claton Circuit Court to disqualify Sheriff Hencken and his deputies in the trial of the nllegtd poolroom operation, which begins neit Monday at Clavton. They charged that the Sheriff was prejudiced against them, and that his deputies were witnesses, and consequent- ly could not terve. The Sheriff did not contest the motion, but consented to being ti'squallfied. The law provides that, in a contingency of this Kind, the Coroner be sworn in to act as temporary Sheriff for the purposes of the trial. This was done. Judge McElhlnney Instructed Coroner Koch to impanel three Juries, as there are that number of charges pending against the men. Each charge constitutes a sep- arate offense. Mount and Jones deny that they have iolated the Breeders' bill in running a poolroom In Morische's Grove, and have determined to make a hard fight. Judge Henry W. Bond of St. Louis, acting for the opposition interests, will bring wit- nesses from Latonia. it Is said, to prove the charges against the men. Been Mlsslns; Three Month. Thomas Brett, who was formerly an employe In the car 6hops of the St. Louis and Suburban Railroad, has been missing since September 12, and all efforts of the police, relatives and friends to locate him have been fruitless.

Mrs. Brett returning first to await her husband, who was to have followed on . September 12. Brett started for Union Station and that was the last that has been heard of him by his family or friends.

Somebody recently declared that there are but two English poets who can claim a ready and inst.-ui-t audience of wide pro- portions whenever they set pen to paper Kipling and James Whitcomb Riley. The coupling of Kipling cod IUley In any other connection would stem Incongruous perhaps. It Is probably true, however, that, ai for "circulation," they are of a kind. Mr. llllej's which Is a thing even Kipling wouldn't sneeze at. will be considerably "enhanced" by his new- - book of vcr.-- e, which bears title. '"His Ta's Romance." "Ills Pa's Romance" Is tho m.iin nece. To tint it is In .Xs "best" or "most cm is trite, but this is what ought to lv said of it. A little boy relates the sto:y of his parents' love affair as told him by an uncle, and It wan a strenuous love affair between a country maiden of sweet 16 and a supposably impecunious farm hand. The maid's pirents object, and the lover saves his monej. Ta 1st ent back to work, an' she let waited. An', -- r, party soon Her folk!, th thought he's turned his eys So-n- e other wj causo They heerd he'd rented the old place He worked en. An' one afternoon A neighbor that had bust a trace. He tell tho old man they wuz utgns Around the eld place that the young Man wu up the old Los cabin eom, an' he had brung ICew furr.lchur from tonn "Ma" goes to town with her father to the show, whence she "sllp" off' and dis- appears. As the old man, frantic, drives home at night he passes "Pa's" place, never dreaming that the lights and muIc there proclaim the wedding of his daugh- ter. "Ma's" parents do not come near her. but "Mn" persuades her jounrj hus- band to ;o with her to l3it them. The young couple set out for her home, some fle or six das after their marriage. The girl Is received with open arms, and "Pa" Is driven away by his infuriated father-in-la- armed with a shotgun. "Pa" goes homo and meditates for many days. Then he sends word to her parents that he is reconciled he will "call the marriage off." and he Invites the "old woman" to come out to the place and get her daugh- ter's things. When mother-in-la- w arrives "Pa" imprisons her In the cellar, which !s full of rats, ard keeps here there, under padlock and key. over night. This quite naturally brings a visit from old father-in-la- "Pa" meets him with a shotgun. "You bring me my wife, and you can take jour"n," or words to that effect, emanate from "Pa." Mother-in-law- 's screams In the meantime are Issuing from the cellar. Thus tho tables are turned. The climax is humorously dramatic. If It might be so called. You hold my wife a prisoner An' your wife, drat ye! I've cot her! An' no, sir You 1st turn round and climb wits In That waon, an drive home agMn An' bring ray wife back wlte away. An' we'll trade then and not before Will I unlock my cellar door " The tables are turned pretty neatly on the "old folks." A happiest of happy .,, reconciliations ioiiu, In the volume are almost fifty poems. many of them In the Hoosler. humorous, "human-nature- " strain. "A Local Poli- tician From Away Back" Is of the best of these. Included also are several serious verses, quaintly sentimental. To the lovers of Riley verse the volume will be counted a genuine treat. It Is published by the Bobbs-Merrl- ll Company. BALLADS BY DOCTOR BALE., Doctor Edward Everett Hale contends that heretofore we have not had fifty good American ballads, and the new book, written by himself and his children. Is an attempt to fill in, in a way, this blank in the literary history oT his region. "New England History In Ballads" comprises, however, numerous additions by other people. There are. In his opinion, some forty or fifty poems, more or less nar- rative, which ought to be read In a thoughtful study of New England history. Of these Longfellow's "Burial of the "Wreck of the Hesperus," "The Arsenal at Springfield," "Paul Revere's Ride" and several others ehould be In cluded; elso, Whlttler's "Cassandra South-wick- ," "Funeral Tree of the Sokokls," "St. John," "The Exiles," 'In the Old South" end others; arid several poems by Holmes, such as "Old Ironside," "The New England Society," "The Ballad of the Boston Tea Party"; and by Lowell, s.ueh poems as "To a Pine Tree," "Indian Summer," "The Voyage to Vlnland," "Myles Standlsh," "Pictures from Apple-dor- e" and "The Fatherland." Doctor Hale's book, though, was not born In the intention to furnish a catalogue. Twenty-fiv- e years ago he suggested the to his children, and this la the collection of that There ore printed here a good many verses which have not been printed before. The whole collection. Including poems by other per- sons. Is arranged In order; the first poems being grouped under the head of "The the Beoond one under the head of the "First Genera- tion." the third heading being "From the Colony to the State," the fourth "The Other Hair' the fifth "The Civil War" and tho last "Afterward." In the last period, for example, there are five ballads, all by members of the Hale family "The Great Harvest Year," "Manila Bay." "New England to a Truant Lover," "Phil- lips Brooks," "Francis Parkman" nnd "The Stars." Ten selected Illustrations of superior quality accompany the text; be- ing designed In each case to fill In a gap of history In place of a ballad. Published by Little, Brown & Co. HISTORY A5D TRAVEL. Willis Fletcher Johnson, A. M., I H. D.. Is the author of "A Century of Expan- sion." He treats' expansion not as merely applying to acquisition of territory, and to that of recent date; but as beginning with the history of the nation, having its causes and effects Intimately intertwined with tho fiber of our national being a process of physical growth maintained Incessantly so long as vitality Is In the ascendant. The nation's and largely conse- quent Intellectual and spiritual develop- ment Is Included In his conception of ex- pansion. The book presents 'salient .fea- tures of the great story, stuUnctly yet with sufficient At least, to suggest where It does not Instruct. And the spirit of presentation Is Just. How- ever one may .differ with the author's opinion of tne results of recent "expan- sion," he' will find the discussion general- ly thoughtful, and worth while from the standpoint of interest 'and mental diver- sion. Published by the Macmlllans.

It is not a "personally conduct- ed tour" In which the big "I" plays the leading part. Mr. Hay acts as a chatty and interesting guide through many en- joyable scenes and situations, and such of the personal equation as inevitably creeps Into a book of this character serves In this Instance only to Impart charm. Published by Houghton, Mifflin & Co. Claude II. Wetmcie Is the nuthor of an Interesting book which, though perhaps better classified as fiction, f.ills with some propriety under the head of books or trav- el. It is a story of adventure with an in- sight Into Brazilian life and Industries, en- titled "In n Brazilian Jungle": and the author's purpose, which he well fulfills. Is the p'cturing of South American activi- ties, cspecfall) the coffee-gro- lng Indus- try. The book Is interesting no lebs for Its fiction, however, than for Its fact. Pub- lished by the W. A. Wilde Company. ECONOMICS A.VD DOOKS Or PRACTICAL IKOItMATIO.Y. A book replete with information which should possess considerable Interest for the business world, is "Getting a Liv- ing: the Problem of Wealth and Poverty of Profits, Wages and Trade Unionism," written by George L. Bolen, who is the author of "Plain Facts as to the Trusts and the Tariff." The book gives a con- nected and somewhat comprehensive view of the many economic divisions of tho great problems of labor and living. It is less a "scholarly" view than an exposition of the scholarly view; tho author acting rather as Interpreter than philosopher and propounder; and this, added to tho fact that it Is nonpartisan, commends It to tho general public. It discusses in sim- ple and easy manner the questions of rent and land ownership. Interest, the employer and his profits, industry, profit sharing., what makes the rate of wages: trade unions, their origin and his- tory; the necessity for trade unionism; strikes, lockouts and boycotts; question- able policies of trade unions, learning a trade, higher wages from higher prices, have wage workers obtained their share? the promise of the future for wage work- ers, the shorter work day. Irregularity of employment, wage earning by women, the public's part In uplifting wage earners, labor laws, the Injunction In labor dis putes, worklngmen's Insurance and pen- sions, the poor and tho unemployed, low wages and vice, trade unionism and the churcn, the man with-th- e hoe, prison la- bor, conciliation, arbitration and collective bargaining, combination and liberty. The text is accompanied by copious references and a complete index. Published by the Macmlllans. Bolles's "Money, Banking and Finance," describes the best banking practice of the day, and add9 a discussion of the legal rules applicable thereto. The work Is de- signed to fill a place between treatises on the methods of bank bookkeeping and works on the theory and history of money and banking. Published by the American Book Company. Charles Bright tells "The Story of the Atlantic Cable." In these das when the substitution of wireless telegraphy sys- tems for submarine telegraph Is a sub- ject of comment and speculation It may be well to reflect for a moment upon the evo- lution of the old and existing methods which at length achieved the result we now enjoy a practical commercial tele- graphic 85 stem between all the nations of the world, and notably between Britain and America. Mr. Bright, F. R. S. Et, A. M. Inst. C. E., M. I. E. D., Is the author of several engineering works. Including "Submarine Telegraphs," "Science and Engineering During the Victorian Era," "The Evolution of the Electric Telegraph, 97," "The Life Story of Sir Charles Tllston Bright." The book under review Is published by the Appletons. An elaborate exposition of "The Theory of Advertising" Is performed by Walter Dill Scott, Ph. D., director of the psycho- logical laboratory of Northwestern Uni- versity. It Is a psychological and techni- cal treatise, dealing with such topics as attention, association of ideas, suggestion, the direct command, perception, appercep tion, illusion, etc., and with the practical application of several theories of adver- tising. It Is Illustrated by cuts taken from current publications and cannot fall to Interest the advertising public. Published by Small, Maynard ft Co. "A Practical Treatise of the Steel Square and Its Application In Everyday Use." By Fred T. Hodgson. Two vols. Chicago: T. J. Drake ft Co.. 1903; 16mo. Pp. 242, 250. Price Mr. Hodgson's remarkable work Is the outcome of papers written In 1872 on "The Use of the Car- penter's Steel Square." These were among the first that were ever Issued devoted entirely to describing the uses and appli- cations of the square, and so well did they meet with the appreciation of work- men who were interested In the steel square that the author was urged to put the papers In book form, and several hun- dred thousand copies have been sold. In- deed, It Is doubtful if any other technical book ever had the same sale. Now nearly everything that Is known about the steel square is embodied In the two handsome volumes. The most Intricate problems are solved with the aid of the steel square. It Is not too much to say that a carpenter who does not possess these volumes has one of the most valuable tools left out of his hit. FICTION. Doctor Edward Brooks, whose pen runs to tales of chivalry and romanos of ye an- cient sort, tells "The Story of Siegfried," taken from the "Nibelungen Lied." "This Prince's name was Siegfried, a gallant knight and good," and. his reputation suf- fers nothing at the hands of Doctor Brooks. Published by the Penn Publish- ing Company. In "Through an Unknown Isle" Charles P. Chlpman gives a picture of conditions in the comparatively unknown New Guinea; now and thin, for the sake of fictional quality, "departing from estab- lished fact." It tells a passably Interest- ing tale, but the manner of telling Is dull and laborious. Published by the Saalfield Company. "The Devil's Letters to Mary Maclane," anonymous, exhibit nothing but the good sense of some unknown party in refusing to sign his name to them. The "Letters," so far as being sprightly, descend to the level of mere drivel and Inanity. It would seem that something really sprightly could be got out of that subject, but the book In question provoked only yawns. Interstate Publishing Company, Chicago. In "Ben Blunt" Mr. Speed Mosby affords the reading public a glimpse of the graft- er getting in his work. Mr. Mosby terms an historical romance. He prefaces It with a quotation from Bunyan: a "Some said, John, print it; others said, not so; Some said. It might do good; others said no." Which advice was the better mar wall be left to the public. Commercial Print- ing Company, printer. "Dramnna, a Romance of the Stage," by Annlo Arrlngton Tyson, is a crude ef- fort exhibiting what seems to bo if you plcnso. It Is published by tho Ncale Publishing Company. A book which perhaps best classifies as fiction is "Utopia." "Utopia" has another title, which is "The Case or the Fox, be- ing ills prophesies under hypnotism of tho period ending A. D. 1K0," and a third 'jlllic.il rtopl.i." Under the "influence," tho Fox person speculates upor o i ciiU or munlclnil conditions in the sweet bye and bye, and things eco- nomic nnd soeio'osical generally; and does so in a manner to hold attention rretty well. Tho author, William Stanley, has a fertile limglnntlon and a modicum of stvlc. Iublislieu by tho Truslove and Hanson Company, London. Annie Barnes, author, wo are told, of "Tho Terry Mold," Is the author also of an historical romance for young Indies entitled "Tho Littlo Lady of the Fort." In spite of tho many dangerous looking Indians that Inhabit Its pages, young la- dies will find it quite harmless. Penn Pub- lishing Company. "With Ethan Allen at TIconderoga" Is a fierce! - historical fiction by Mr. Foster Mr. W. Bert Fester, who lately escorted a troop of renders to Valley Forgo With Washington.

Mr. Eden Phtlpotts, In the love of na- ture, holds communion with her visible forms in his new book, "My Devon Year.'" which Is a collection of essays upon Moth- er Earth's beauties ss they are exhibited in the neighborhood of Devon. His dom- inant Idea Is that nature. In her various shade?, mirrors the moods of man. A quo- tation from Marcus Aurellus suggests the keynote: "I am in harmony with all that Is a part of harmony. For me nothing Is late that is reasonable to thee. All are fruits for me that they seasons bring, O Nature! Since from thee. In thee, and unto theo, are, all things." "Many a morn-- 4m' aq.n U.Im. 13l.ll.u.,t iih.

"I doubt if there exists a passion or shade of passion, a prompting, a repulsion, or a great deelre common to man, that some day shall not seem to mirror, though the closeness or subtlety of the likeness must depend upon tho mind that seeks and finds it. Such light flashes like a diamond to one all purple, to another red as dawn, to a third the nameless color of the deep sea, to a rare spirit, here and there, the composite ray or truth Itself." These ex- cerpts exhibit both the spirit and style of Mr. Ph'.lpotfs work. Thirty-eig- Illustrations accompany It. Pub- lished by the Macmlllans. "James Whitcomb Riley, In Prose and Picture," Is a distinctly pretty Christmas publication. It contains extracts of good quality. Illuminated by color prints rather dainty. John A. Howland acknowledges authorship, or editorship, or whatever it is, of the volume, and a gentleman whose name Is hardly legible, but which looks something like R.J. Campbell, is respon- - sioio ior the decorations. Handy & Hlg-gi- of Chicago are the publishers. S. a Riser's "Soul Sonnets of a Ste- nographer" Is a truly edifying piece of verse; rather good verse, too, from the mechanical point of view. The stenog- rapher in question haa a sad story to re- late; she would like to marry her million- aire empIoer If his wife would only die "If he wanted mo to All the vacancy she left, I'd gladly will away this old ma- chine." That Is the burden of her theme. But her hopes don't come true; Instead, her troubles come In chunks. Thp little book Is in Mr. Kiser's best humorous vein. Published by Forbes & Co. The late M. M. Fisher, D. D senior pro- fessor of the Latin language and litera- ture at the Missouri State University, wrote "The History of Westminster Col- lege." which Is published by. Mr. Sylvester J. Fisher of this cltyt"wlth the hope that this rehearsal of the trials and triumphs of the college may excite in the hearts of Presbyterians a deeper Interest In the wel- fare of the Institution." The volume, at tractlvely Illustrated, . Is neatly put forth from the press of E. W. Stephens, Co- lumbia, Mo. A handsome publication. In full holiday garb. Is Issued by the J. B. Lippincott Company, In two volumes, entitled "American Myths and Legends." It Is by Charles M. Skinner, author of "Myths and Legends Beyond Our Borders," "Myths and Legends of Our New Possessions," and "Myths and Legends of Our Own Land." It Is to the latter collection that the present one Is added, for the sake of completeness, and It forms a valuable contribution to American folk-lor- e; which la a something, by the way, quite distinct from the literature of narrative or his- torical of ballads, which form Doctor Hale's collection, though Interesting from a like point of view. Mr. Skinner's legends are rendered in simple, clear, chaste prose. There Is a pronounced life In his style which makes It good reading. BOOKS RECEIVED. "Hsj Pa's Kommce."

Chicago and Alton, Big Four and Chicago. Burlington "u wuincy. iuacn or tnese will, accord- ing to report, become one-fif- th owner of tho Alton bridge. Owing to the unpropltious condition of the bond market, the Terminal Railroad Commission of St Louis will pay for about .3,000,000 worth of Improvements with temporary 'obligations, instead of bonds. When tho financial sky clears these obligations will be refunded with general mortgage, refunding, sinking fund and is. Presidents of the railroads, which con- stitute the Terminal Association, held another meeting in this city to-d- at the Pennslvanla offices' and It was decided that tne men who represent the railroads in the directorate of the Terminal As- sociation, should be Instructed to support the plan for providing funas to tempor- arily pay for the vast Improvements which are being carried forward In St. Louis to prepare that city for the recep- tion of tne throngs which are expected to attend the World's Fair next year. These Improvements and others of & permanent nature in the aggregate call for the expenditure of Jls.uXl.OuO. This money was to have been provided from the sale of sreneral mortrafirti fours, to thm 'tbtal authorized Issue of which was a5O,COO,000. Of the J1S.000.000 provided for Improve- ments J13.(.jO,X) Is outstanding. Instead of Issuing the remaining f3.000.OW and sell- ing Uiem at a comparatively low price. It vvas deemed advisable to provide the necessary funds by temporary obligations, which could be funded when the bond market Improved. These obllgatlons'will probably take the form of notes payable at ainerent periods within a few years. The most important of the. Improve- ments at St Louis will be the' practical rebuilding of the Union Station. J. J. HILL ON TRADE. Minneapolis Millers Go to Iadlsus Territory for Wheat. St Paul, Dec. 4. President J. J.

poolroom In Morische's Grove, and havedetermined to make a hard fight. JudgeHenry W. Bond of St. Louis, acting forthe opposition interests, will bring wit-nesses from Latonia. it Is said, to provethe charges against the men.

RILEY'S SEW POEMS.
Somebody recently declared that thereare but two English poets who can claima ready and inst.-ui-t audience of wide pro-
portions whenever they set pen to paperKipling and James Whitcomb Riley. Thecoupling of Kipling cod IUley In anyother connection would stem Incongruousperhaps. It Is probably true, however,that, ai for "circulation," they are of akind. Mr. llllej's which Isa thing even Kipling wouldn't sneeze at.will be considerably "enhanced" by hisnew-- book of vcr.--e, which bears title. '"HisTa's Romance." "Ills Pa's Romance" Is
tho m.iin nece. To tint it is In .Xs
"best" or "most cm istrite, but this is what ought to lv saidof it. A little boy relates the sto:y of hisparents' love affair as told him by anuncle, and It wan a strenuous love affairbetween a country maiden of sweet 16 anda supposably impecunious farm hand. Themaid's pirents object, and the lover saveshis monej.

Thenhe sends word to her parents that he isreconciled he will "call the marriageoff." and he Invites the "old woman" tocome out to the place and get her daugh-ter's things.

In the volume are almost fifty poems.many of them In the Hoosler. humorous,"human-nature- " strain. "A Local Poli-
tician From Away Back" Is of the bestof these. Included also are several seriousverses, quaintly sentimental. To thelovers of Riley verse the volume will becounted a genuine treat. It Is publishedby the Bobbs-Merrl- ll Company.
BALLADS BY DOCTOR BALE.,
Doctor Edward Everett Hale contendsthat heretofore we have not had fiftygood American ballads, and the new book,written by himself and his children. Isan attempt to fill in, in a way, this blankin the literary history oT his region. "NewEngland History In Ballads" comprises,however, numerous additions by otherpeople. There are. In his opinion, someforty or fifty poems, more or less nar-rative, which ought to be read In athoughtful study of New England history.Of these Longfellow's "Burial of the
"Wreck of the Hesperus," "TheArsenal at Springfield," "Paul Revere'sRide" and several others ehould be Included; elso, Whlttler's "Cassandra South-wick- ,"
"Funeral Tree of the Sokokls,""St. John," "The Exiles," 'In the OldSouth" end others; arid several poems byHolmes, such as "Old Ironside," "TheNew England Society," "The Ballad ofthe Boston Tea Party"; and by Lowell,s.ueh poems as "To a Pine Tree," "IndianSummer," "The Voyage to Vlnland,""Myles Standlsh," "Pictures from Apple-dor- e"
and "The Fatherland." DoctorHale's book, though, was not born In theintention to furnish a catalogue. Twenty-fiv- e
years ago he suggested theto his children, and this la the
collection of that Thereore printed here a good many verses whichhave not been printed before. The wholecollection. Including poems by other per-
sons. Is arranged In order;the first poems being grouped under thehead of "The the Beoondone under the head of the "First Genera-tion." the third heading being "From theColony to the State," the fourth "TheOther Hair' the fifth "The Civil War"and tho last "Afterward." In the lastperiod, for example, there are five ballads,all by members of the Hale family "TheGreat Harvest Year," "Manila Bay.""New England to a Truant Lover," "Phil-lips Brooks," "Francis Parkman" nnd"The Stars." Ten selected Illustrations ofsuperior quality accompany the text; be-
ing designed In each case to fill In a gapof history In place of a ballad. Publishedby Little, Brown & Co.
HISTORY A5D TRAVEL.
Willis Fletcher Johnson, A. M., I H. D..Is the author of "A Century of Expan-sion." He treats' expansion not as merelyapplying to acquisition of territory, and tothat of recent date; but as beginning withthe history of the nation, having its causesand effects Intimately intertwined with thofiber of our national being a process ofphysical growth maintained Incessantly solong as vitality Is In the ascendant. Thenation's and largely conse-quent Intellectual and spiritual develop-ment Is Included In his conception of ex-pansion. The book presents 'salient .fea-tures of the great story, stuUnctly yetwith sufficient At least, tosuggest where It does not Instruct. Andthe spirit of presentation Is Just. How-ever one may .differ with the author'sopinion of tne results of recent "expan-sion," he' will find the discussion general-ly thoughtful, and worth while from thestandpoint of interest 'and mental diver-sion.

"A Practical Treatise of the SteelSquare and Its Application In EverydayUse." By Fred T. Hodgson. Two vols.Chicago: T. J. Drake ft Co.. 1903; 16mo.Pp. 242, 250. Price Mr. Hodgson'sremarkable work Is the outcome of paperswritten In 1872 on "The Use of the Car-penter's Steel Square." These were amongthe first that were ever Issued devotedentirely to describing the uses and appli-
cations of the square, and so well didthey meet with the appreciation of work-men who were interested In the steelsquare that the author was urged to putthe papers In book form, and several hun-
dred thousand copies have been sold. In-
deed, It Is doubtful if any other technicalbook ever had the same sale. Now nearlyeverything that Is known about the steelsquare is embodied In the two handsomevolumes. The most Intricate problems aresolved with the aid of the steel square.It Is not too much to say that a carpenterwho does not possess these volumes hasone of the most valuable tools left out ofhis hit.

"The Devil's Letters to Mary Maclane,"anonymous, exhibit nothing but the goodsense of some unknown party in refusingto sign his name to them.

ture, holds communion with her visibleforms in his new book, "My Devon Year.'"which Is a collection of essays upon Moth-
er Earth's beauties ss they are exhibitedin the neighborhood of Devon. His dom-
inant Idea Is that nature. In her variousshade?, mirrors the moods of man. A quo-
tation from Marcus Aurellus suggests thekeynote: "I am in harmony with all thatIs a part of harmony. For me nothing Islate that is reasonable to thee. All arefruits for me that they seasons bring, ONature! Since from thee. In thee, andunto theo, are, all things." "Many a morn--4m' aq.n U.Im. 13l.ll.u.,t iih. I.. ll.raja jlucu uunjii.3, uiiuga wtiuI."B, prhn nf hTlmnn omrtMnTi mn nhvlnnathat the analogy strikes Instant, almostunconscious, acknowledgment from all,and mankind sighs before a leaden dawnor lifts his heart with gladness to a nun-ris- o
of promise; but more often the di-urnal progress is intermixed with subtlermanifestations, and the brooding guardianspirit of each day must be sought for witha measure of reverence and care." "Idoubt if there exists a passion or shadeof passion, a prompting, a repulsion, or agreat deelre common to man, that someday shall not seem to mirror, though thecloseness or subtlety of the likeness mustdepend upon tho mind that seeks and findsit. Such light flashes like a diamond toone all purple, to another red as dawn, toa third the nameless color of the deepsea, to a rare spirit, here and there, thecomposite ray or truth Itself." These ex-cerpts exhibit both the spirit and styleof Mr. Ph'.lpotfs work. Thirty-eig-
Illustrations accompany It. Pub-lished by the Macmlllans.
"James Whitcomb Riley, In Prose andPicture," Is a distinctly pretty Christmaspublication. It contains extracts of goodquality. Illuminated by color prints ratherdainty. John A. Howland acknowledgesauthorship, or editorship, or whatever itis, of the volume, and a gentleman whosename Is hardly legible, but which lookssomething like R.J. Campbell, is respon- -sioio ior the decorations. Handy & Hlg-gi-
of Chicago are the publishers.S. a Riser's "Soul Sonnets of a Ste-
nographer" Is a truly edifying piece ofverse; rather good verse, too, from themechanical point of view. The stenog-rapher in question haa a sad story to re-late; she would like to marry her million-aire empIoer If his wife would only die"If he wanted mo to All the vacancy sheleft, I'd gladly will away this old ma-chine." That Is the burden of her theme.But her hopes don't come true; Instead,her troubles come In chunks. Thp littlebook Is in Mr. Kiser's best humorous vein.Published by Forbes & Co.
The late M. M. Fisher, D. D senior pro-fessor of the Latin language and litera-ture at the Missouri State University,wrote "The History of Westminster Col-lege." which Is published by. Mr. SylvesterJ. Fisher of this cltyt"wlth the hope thatthis rehearsal of the trials and triumphsof the college may excite in the hearts ofPresbyterians a deeper Interest In the wel-fare of the Institution." The volume, attractlvely Illustrated, . Is neatly put forthfrom the press of E. W. Stephens, Co-lumbia, Mo.
A handsome publication. In full holidaygarb. Is Issued by the J. B. LippincottCompany, In two volumes, entitled"American Myths and Legends." It Is byCharles M. Skinner, author of "Myths andLegends Beyond Our Borders," "Mythsand Legends of Our New Possessions,"and "Myths and Legends of Our OwnLand." It Is to the latter collection thatthe present one Is added, for the sake ofcompleteness, and It forms a valuablecontribution to American folk-lor- e; whichla a something, by the way, quite distinctfrom the literature of narrative or his-torical
ofballads, which form Doctor Hale's
collection, though Interesting from a likepoint of view. Mr. Skinner's legends arerendered in simple, clear, chaste prose.There Is a pronounced life In his stylewhich makes It good reading.

Owing to the unpropltious condition ofthe bond market, the Terminal RailroadCommission of St Louis will pay forabout .3,000,000 worth of Improvementswith temporary 'obligations, instead ofbonds.

The most important of the. Improve-ments at St Louis will be the' practicalrebuilding of the Union Station.
