80 ffHB 8TJNDAX OBEOONIAK, PORTLAND, SEPTEMBER 6, 1903. TRAVELERS' GUIDE. 7KM IMPERSONAL ACQUAINTANCE INDIVIDUALITY OF MARY McLANE AS REVEALED BY HER BOOKS. I picked up the new book of Mary Mac lano. It appeared too much a stranger to be addressed immediately, and, , besides this, I lelt a touch of dread, as one who was about to renew acquaintance with one not met and Intimately conversed Ni swith for years. So I laid the book down apaln and thought of the Mary MacLane I knew a long time ago. I was introduced to her under the most blighting clrcum etances of prejudice. Before I knew her at all I had repeated, as one with au thority, Tvbat I had heard "from others who claimed to be contemptuously fa miliar. I had Just passed' the hour, witti' her, hailed .her -with' a jibe and rudely gone my way. v Then, I hardly" can tell how, I Tvas caught by a phrase. I held off stllL I was not to be cajoled by high-sounding " -words. I had judged, and my judgment coincided with that of others. But the phrase stuck vigorously in my mind. I discovered It to be a flne playground for fancy; I reveled In its possibilities and rejoiced in Its neat perfection. Then, very shamefacedly, I sought the acquaint ance, 'in due form, of Mary MacLane. Yet my conscience pricks me. I never owned a copy of that first book. I found The Story of Mary MacLane" in the hands of a friend. Impudently demanded It, took it, and kept it unconscionably. I dipped into it charily at the first, tast ing its quality modestly. I have recol lections' of reading It in street-cars, of snatching a paragraph In utter disregard of the elevator boy's cry of "Floor?" of making out the words under the dim light of a restaurant lamp, and the "litany" I read deliciously huddled up on a temporarily available "prop" behind the scenes on which players In motley attlr6 were portraying some now forgot ten eomedv. Thus my intimacy with Mary MacLano grew, as I am so glad it ma, wiuiout the confining restrictions of ordinary and commonplace etiquette. I did not talk feebly with her in a vulgar drawing room nor exchange trito courtesies from a rocking-chair. I boldly Invoked her whenevera new and unseconded whim en tered my head, and she responded to my mood or abolished my dream with frank ness and complete lack of formality. In the end I returned the book, not, I must confess, on my own initiative, for I would iiave still kept it within range or my nana. I have never opened its pages since. "When I could no longer read without preliminary efforts I would not read at all. Mary MacLane was not a carpet friend, a chatterer of airy nothings, and I could not bear the thought of paying hard and disillusioning coin to speak with one with whom I had fallen into such pleasant familiarity. Notwithstanding this separation of many months. I boast to myself that I have not lost touch with the entrancing Mary that is, I did so plume myself till this new book fell into my hands. Then, as I have said, the past seemed broken with. The seasons that I so fondly thought were leaving us both unchanged 3iad, after all, followed the habit of seasons and we were both older and quite possibly grown apart, to meet hereafter only in unendurable remembrance of what bad once been. There had been times -when, in excess of confidence in our com- anunlon. I had thought of the first harsh things. I had said about her, much. suppose, as a slave thinks of even the -ungodly deeds, of his free past; But this pale glory faded. Perhaps Mary Mac Lane was spoiled, and my sweet subjec tion become a durance too vile to allow of Jest. J looked finally at tho title, "My Friend Annabel Lee." Hum-m-m. Had Mary sot to reading Poe till her views were distorted in sympathy with that un -happy genius? The title page could not cay. I turned farther. I observed with dismay that the dedication was. to a cer tain unknown Lucy1 Gray of Chicago. I dlsllko Chicago intensely. I Imagined that Xucy Gray lived on Halstead street, or, worse yet, Monroe. I abhored Lucy. And one pale lavender flower of Amar anth." That, I grudgingly conceded, is snore like the Mary I knew a year ago; 1 have not the faintest notion of what amaranth is. So I looked it up in the dictionary. Dr. "Webster states ponder ously that it is a flower supposed never ito fade,' and exactly adds that It is 'poetic" The Doctor never knew Mary .ftlacLano or he would have spared him self that last gaucherle. Tho table of contents next attracted tne. Prom it I discovered nothing, of the personality of Annabel Lee. But I no ticed a deal about her, and references to Minnie Maddern Flske and the Butte High School. Should I chose a chapter and nibble delicately? Should I feint land finesse with a page or so? I pon dered this some time, and at .last de cided that I would strike boldly in at tho beginning of the volume and never . draw uncritical breath till the end. It Is high season, I admonished myself, that ,you drop your dilatory ways and softness, for Mary MacLane. She's only a book, after all, and you must treat her as you do others. Tou never criticised the first book at all, and consequently you know nothing whatever about it. Be sensible for once and forget your foible for the nonexistent woman. So I started in courageously, cut no page till I got to it and emerged at the end of the last chapter, where Mary says farewell to Annabel Lee in gentle Italics. For three days I tried to imagine the old, strong, passionate Mary back, but she was gone. The fourth day, in despair, I picked up the book again, and Annabel Lee was exceedingly moody and Incom prehensible, and Mary as imperious as of old, and now I freely state that Anna bel Lee, of whom I was so jealous, does not come between us at all Mary has grown older, to be sure. A year ago I think she had not quite out grown a toothbrush with a ribbon around It. She was so likely to say things that Bounded so innocent as to startle, so deep as to amaze and so wicked as to intoxi cate. She doesn't say them any more exactly. Somebody has said these same things to Mary MacLane, and she has determined that they do not sound nice. I look in vain tor anything so frankly descriptive as her picture of the dress maker. Mary's skirts are below her shoetopa. But I am still loyal. If a slight shade of bashful wisdom has veiled our speech in decent garb for the street, the brave, impulsive, pugnacious heart is there just the same. Because Mary does not say damn with her old vehemence, I detect no weakening in her emotions; if she speaks of her stomach less, she is as de voured as ever to good cheer; if her natrea or xormai snam Is not so loud voiced, her neater adjectives are nono tho leBs efficient. Mary Is not so naughty, but she cannot quite forget that she was once. I think I take more pleasure out of her story or. mo in tne Butte High School than in any other- part- of Annabel Lee. Emancipated Eva and Muddled Maud are of tho charmed circle. Even tho fair- Annabel with her silence and' her medi tative position on a snelf does not quite touch me as does Emancipated Eva. And the way that Mary tells of their histories is of the best, One thing I rejoice at in the girl in Butte. She has a flne, easy command of English. She knows what she wants to say, and if you don't understand it's not Mary's fault. Her speech Is quite on a levei wun tne giri as x Know her. I nave a picture in my mind that I refer to as to a masterpiece too valuable to be lightly shown to common saze. Shft'i dully beautiful, piquant through the force or wnat you expect, charming because sne is alive and bewitching at those periods when she resumes the tongue of childhood. She does not whisper, but -speaks out stralghtly, and when she has jsaldy.omethlng.that makes you Jlft your. eyebrows, she holds her heart up for you to see that all she has said Is true, and I, for my part, look, and worship Mary MacLane because she has treated mo so squarely. But I like the old Mary best, for I knew her so frankly well. The new Mary is sadder, and 'as I grow older sad ness seems to me the greatest ana most nitlful thine in all the world. Maybe Marj MacLane meant to signify It when she sent to Lucy Gray mat one paie lavender flower of Amaranth. JOHN FLEMING WILSON. CHILD LABOR IX THE SOUTH, "The "WIdoir,ii" Intereutinj? Observa- . lions on Her Travels. Tho TVidow" In the South, by Teresa Dean, Smart Set Publishing Company.- New York. Theoretically it is wrong, practically the children are being taKen care or kindly." That is Mrs. Dean's summing up of the child labor discussion, and from her observations it. is a very fair nutshell presentation of the case. It often seems difficult, almost Impossible to bring prac tice Into accord with theory, but' sooner or later it must be done, or their divergence will result in disaster. The children em ployed in the cotton mills, says Mrs. Dean, are pale. They breathe air that la laden with dust and heavy with the smell of the fish oil used on the machinery. It Is not a pleasant prospect, that of a race growing up in such conditions. One mill owner told (Mrs. Dean that children are less liable to consumption than are adults, which would seem to Indicate that the seeds of the disease ore planted In the young and ripen in the older. Another peculiar feature of the situation is that tho whites, constantly employed In the mills, are falling behind the negroes In education, surely an alarming state of af fairs. Mrs. Dean, who Is the well-known "widow" of Town Topics, visited the" South expressly to study the race ques tlon. She has much to say that will en able Northern readers to understand and approve the attitude of Southerners. The book contains some incidental and lively descriptions of social life In the South, particularly in Charleston, the home of the St. " Cecilia. Dancing Club, which was founded in 1761, and has not changed since. A Real Bohemia. The Millionaire's Son, by Anna Robeson Brown. Dana, Estes & Co., Boston. "The Millionaire's Son" is not the son of his father. He rejects the millions of his Inheritance to follow an Ideal, and In the end he marries a girl of the same mind, and, as the book end- begins bis career as editor of a monthly review. In the book we have a great variety of ingredients blended into a palatable dish. There are the1 millionaire, who is of the immemorial type, striving, unscrupulous. desirous of social advancement; the mil llonalre's father, who is of Emerson's time and Emerson's nature; and the mil llonalre's son, who Is an attractive young man. Then there Is. the artistic girl whom the son marries. Mixed with all these are college presidents, young people of light purses and of light hearts, rich girls of no hearts at all, whimsical Bohemians and the book depicts a real Bohemia; none of your artificial, delib erately fabricated affairs, but a jolly and desirable abode. The son is discontented with shares and stocks. Ho gains admittance to the Bo hemia through accidentally poking . one of its citizens with a careless umbrfill.o. and 'the lnfluenco of the beautiful and good queen makes him break with the stocks and shares for the sake of an ideal. He competes for a rich scholar ship offered by an anonymbus benefactor. wins it. finds his father Is the donor, gives up finally his inheritance, and marries his dulclnea. "Tho Millionaire's Son" is a frood story. It Is free from tho falso atmosphere that so often makes books of its 'kind unpleas ant. The characters are well drawn, espe cially that of the -millionaire, who Is. In deed, a more interesting person than his son. A Poet's NoveL Tho 6ilver Poppy, by Arthur Stringer. Appleton & Co., Now York. No very pleasant memory is left in tho reader's mind by the "Stiver Poppy," nor is tne story one of particular Interest, even although It is told with all the skill and power of embellishment that Mr. Stringer possesses. A novel called the "Silver Poppy," writ ten cy Cordelia vaughan, has made great success, and the young and beau tlrul author has come to New York. Here she meets John Hartley, a young English man, who has written some promising poetry. The second story by Miss Vaughan is shown .Hartley In manuscript, and he finds it very inferior. Finally he rewrites the story, and Miss "Vaughan has It pub ashed under her own name. Meanwhile she and Hartley have become, in a fash ion, lovers. The girl's first book Ib dis covered to have been written by another. and this, with the dishonesty shown In the second Instance, repulses Hartley. He .goes back to England, and Cordelia vaughan is left sobbing as the book closes. There is a brightness in tho manner of the story's telling, although nono of the straining after epigram that Is noticeable in the quotations from imaginary books at the head of each chapter. Many of these smack of the table. For instance, "A husband's jealousies, my dear, are tho mushrooms on the beefsteak of matrl inony." And "It Is the undercurrent of motive that is the test of the moral pie. And another: "We prefer our pessimists yountr and tender, like asnarairus "The Silver Poppy" is not unlike what we imagine Cordelia Vaughan's "Unwls virgins" to. have done. Journalism Wlthont nOCoIletre. Practical' Journalism, by Edwin X.. Shuman. D. Appleton &' Co., New York, "There.are few things concerning which the general public is more curious, and about which it knows less, than the in side of a metropolitan newspaper office. savs Mr. Shuman In his preface to "Prac tlcal Journalism." "This curiosity Is at least as healthy and legitimate as that re gardlng the North Pole, yet there hav been many more Polar expeditions than books about the inner workings of th& modern newspaper. As one-half of nil intelligent young men and women In the United States are said to pass through a period when they imagine they would like to wield the pen. It ought to be an act of humanity to place in their hands a book that will tell just how tho work of the best and largest dally papers done." The act of humanity" is very well done, and "Practical Journalism" will tell the thousand-and-one aspirants to editor ial chairs exactly how to get there, and what dragons they will have to pass' on the xoad. As Mr. Shuman .rose, from printer's devil to managing editor, holding practically every intermediate position at one time or another, he knows his sub ject. Furthermore, he does not give mlsleadlngly roseate view of newspaper "Jobs." Love' Rocky Rond. Tho Middle Course, by Mrs. Poultney Blge low. Smart Set Publishing Company. New York. " i The Middlel Course is another story of rove s rocky road to happiness. The hero fine has a husband who alternately bullies and neglects her, and, worst of all, is so stingy that the housekeeping bills pro voke a monthly row. He Is such a brute that he even criticises the salad In public, The hero Is a very fascinating painter, and one day, as ho and the heroine are kissing an eternal good-bye, who should appear on the scene but the stingy hus band! Naturally tho husband becomes-j-ery. angry, and he hastens oft to Dakota, lately described by an English Judge as "wild" and "half-settled." Here he pro cures one of the divorces that have made Dakota famous. Yet love has not come to the flowery paths of peace. The hero Is In love, he thinks, with someone he knew 15 years before. Fortunately he meets her dressed in the fashion of the day-after- tomorrow, for which she did not mean to Day until the day after that" and ho is disillusioned. He seeks out the hero ine, finds her half dead of fever and a broken heart, and all Is happy. Tho Middle Course Is not a very deep analysis of character, or anything of that kind, but It Is Interesting, and the stylo is occasionally brilliant. Some of the in cidental characters are sketched In a sen tence, as, for Instance, the man and his wife who are "like the little couple that tell the weather never seen together." "Mad Anthony." Anthony "vVayne. by John It. Spears. D. Appleton & Co., New York.. The story of "Mad Anthony" Is one of the Appleton series of "historic lives," and it Is told plainly and without verbal frills by Mr. Spears. The career of An thony Wayne Is inspiring to all Ameri cans. He it was who taught the world that American troops could fight any sol diers, and beat them. He first sent up the flag in the great region between the Ohio, tho Great Lakes and the Mississippi. He was, perhaps, the greatest drillmaster the American Army has had, and he was on.o of those who taught the lesson that preparation for war was the best aid to victory. Wayne was a "handsome, manly fig ure." His care In dress earned .him tho nickname of "Dandy" he was a man of many nicknames, for the Indians called him tho "Tornado" on account of his furious charge, and the "Black Snake" by reason of his unrelenting search for enemies in the woods. Mad Anthony endured privations in all parts of the country; he fought many battles. The taking of Stony Point alone would make his name famous and he never complalne. He was a patriot, and a fighting patriot. LITERARY NOTES. The Navy League Journal for Septem ber is rich In Illustrations rertalnlnjt to the Navy, and the entire number is of special interest to every officer of the Navy and to every citizen of the United States. A French litterateur, in translating sentence In one of Sir Walter Scott's nov els, made an amusing blunder. Meeting a statement In the text that some of the characters who figure In the tale had a "Welsh rabbit" for supper, says the Read er, the translator, not aware that the term was applied to toasted cheese, rendered the phrase as "un lapln du pays de Galles" "a rabbit of Wales." Not content with this, he Inserted a footnote Informing the reader that the rabbits of Wales were of such superior flavor that thev were In great demand in Scotland, the scene of the story, and that, consequently, they were forwarded to that country In considerable numbers. No authority was given for the assertion, andit is rather evident that the idea of the writer must have been evolved from his inner consciousness. An interesting brochure on "The Dooncs of Exmoor" has just been published in England, which has for Its object a con sideration of the evidence for the stories in "Lorna Doone." The author concludes that the Doone tradition Is of greater antiquity than has been generally sup posed, even by Mr. Blackmore, dnd dates it as far back as the incursions of the Danes during the reign of Alfred the Great. He also corroborates the state ment that Mr. Blackmore got his clew for the weaving of his great romance from a story entitled "The Doones of Exmoor," published at one time In that old-established family magazine, the Leisure Hour. The unfailing delight which thl3 wonder ful story yields to readers, new and old, year after year, is attested by the fact that tho Harpers report It as In con stant demand. Especially Is this true of their illustrated edition, the best one volumo illustrated edition on the market. Nutshell Notices. r Wagner's Parsifal, as' retold by Oliver Huckel. 75 cents.

Philadelphia North American. BEAUMONT, Tex. On Sunday morning July 26, the only train running on the Gulf & Interstate Railroad pulled. Into the passenger station at Beaumont just 1040 days late. Starting, from Galveston on the morning of September 8, 1900, ib had been stalled half way between the? two cities since: that date. Special festivities marked the arrival of the belated No. 1.
