" Until we are built like angels,
With hammer and chisel and pen,
We will fight for, ourselves and a woman
For ever

The Throwback, by Alfred Henry Lewis. Il
lustrated. "$1.50. The Outing Publishing
Co.. New York City.
In a moment we plunged from the en
vironment of civilization with Its trolley
cars, telephone and electric lights to that
wonderland called Texas, and the great
Southwest, In recent stirring days when
cowboys ruled vast herds of cattle and
as a pastime killed buffaloes. The magic
charm of this life again dawns on us on
opening Mr. Lewis' latest novel of cow
boy life, "The Throwback," which Is the
biography of a gunfighter named Captain
Tom Moonlight, who is described on page
71 as "a recurrence, a repetition, a re
crudescence, a throwback" or one who
lives according to his primal instincts,
one who willingly leaves civilization
fop the savagery of nature.
In picturing Indian fighting, daring
deeds of cowboy life, a search for burled
treasure valued at 51,000,000, and ending
with a most uncommon lovo story, Mr.
Lewis takes us into that region made
famous by him In "Wolfville." In sketch
ing Captain Moonlight, who Is a sort of
walking arsenal and dead shot combined,
Mr. Lewis follows the portraiture of an
other cowboy hero. "Chalkeyc" Davis, in
"Curly." Possibly we all have read of
the wonderful shooting of Ilobln Hood,
also of William Tell, with their remark
able cross-bows. Similar marksmanship
is gifted to Moonlight, who performs
wonderful feats with his revolver. Ho
must also have been clothed In invisible
armor, for In all his numerous fights ho
invariably kills his opponent and is not
himself seriously wounded. In one fight
lie and his two allies. Red River and
Ironjacket. killed 17 Indians with celerity
and dispatch, and at the conclusion there
of Moonlight proposed marriage to at
girl whom he loved with all the passion
of his ardent, romantic nature.
Moonlight in reality was Alan Gordon,
a born aristocrat, heir to an immense es
tate near Baltimore. Md. Disappointing
the social ambitions of his father, who
thought him a degenerate, the young man
emigrated to Texas and won a name and
a living for himself in a lawless com
munity, principally by his daring person
ality, his strong right arm and his belief
in the principle. "What's mine's mine."
He became in fact an incarnation, a liv
ing example, of the fighting spirit of the
old clan Gordon, from whom he was de
scended. He created a scene of the sur
vival of the fittest amid the crude forces
of society with savages for companions
and out of such character building Moon
light emerged victor and the undisputed
owner of a ranch named Dove's Nest .be
cause nobody else was strong enough to
take It from him.
Dying, the elder Gordon left a curious
will, in which he bequeathed his property,
valued at JW0.O0O. to his absent son. and
legacies each to his sister. Aunt Tilda,
her foster-child. Ethel, and nephew, Rob
ert Blalney. The latter is painted as an
arrogant upstart so much so that the
good people of Somerset made it so hot
for him that -ho departed to buy a ranch
in Texas, taking the womenfolk and a
scientific man named Doramus with him.
"Without his knowing it, Robert Blalney
found that the ranch ho has purchased is
perilously near that of Moonlight, whom
.he secretly recognizes as the long-lost
"Alan Gordon. .
In the meantime Moonlight is unaware
that his Identity has been discovered and
3e continues to live his half savage life
with evident .enjoyment. Blalney, who is
described as "sickly, melancholy, selfish,
cruel without courage, full of book clev
erness, with a bent for plot and intrigue
and an Innate preference for profit based
on wrong," becomes instinctively Moon
light's enemy. Aided by his three lieu
ten nts. Ironjacket. Jeff and Red River.
Moonlight has much tho best of the fight
ing against Blalney and the latter's sym
pathizers. The people that flit over tho pages are
Mexicans, cowboys, Indians and Ameri
cansand it is here that Mr. Lewis ex
hibits his wonderful skill in character
painting. He molds his people as a pot
ter gives being to his clay, and not for
one instant is the Interest allowed to
slacken. The navel has all tho elements
of success and it would not be a surprise
to hear of Its being dramatized shortly.
Its men and women are creatures of flesh
and blood, and the humor displayed in
the story telling Is so genuine as to sug
gest the thought that Mr. Lewis has
surely some Irish blood In his veins. The
four pictures in the book are by N. C
Wycth and are drawn with spirit and
boldness,
Mr. Lewis seems to be a profound ob
server of women, for he is guilty of
these apothegms:
He who cannot face a man. can tlll less
face a woman. A woman, before she can
love, muKt look up, and It la woman' na
ture to look up only to co urate.
A woman ltkea deference In a man. but
he does not want him to surrender to her.
Phe Is not looking so much for conquest as
for srotectlon when oho marche forth to
' meet a man. and she will Torsive In him
anything except being weaker than herself.
Women are ever hungry for women-talk.
Not dace the days of Eve has any womaa
shrunk from being loved. They are like
yoar dishonest trader willing to receive
without staking any return. For one thine
they like flattery, and love Is the soul of
flattery.
Women .revere force they like men to
carry them oft In the teeth of protest. . Their
deepest admiration is reserved for Romans
who wed them vl et armls. Nothing- is
mere alarming to your true woman than a
anaocullne weakness greater than her- owe.
A man is born sane, but he wander men
tally as he grows old.

Moonllclifs favorite costume: Ills broad
brim hat was even more richly decked of bul
lion and hawks' bills than was Don Anton's
own. Above It In lieu a band colled a rattle
snake done In gold flllrre. head well down on
the brim, two blazing rubles for eyes. 11 In
jacket and trousers were of nora green vel
vet, the latter slashed below the knee. Scant
Ish fashion, with wine-colored silk, the whole
ornamented along the outer seams and
caucht In at the belt with clasps and but
tons of gold. The Jacket open in front dis
played a ruffle of fine linen. The waist was
girt about by a Colt's 45 pistol and a 0
lnch bowle knife: the belt, scabbard and hol
ster that upheld knife and pistol being of green
leather to match the green velvet of coat and
trousers. Half covering the belt and the
cartridsea which corrugated It wa a thick
sash, wine-color, like the llk slashings of the
trousers. On the heels of the Mexican boots
Jingled great spurs of silver and wrought steel.
Life insurance is a came Wherein a man
has to die to win.
The novel will be chiefly remembered
for the strong dramatic power shown in
tho 10th chapter, picturing the taming
by Captain Moonlight of a buckskin stal
lion which was known to be a mancater.
The horse's namo was Sathanthus; he
had killed one man, and hoped to get a
chance to kill another, for he was a
born devil In his heart. The taming of
this brute told in words has the intense
power of an oil painting. The other pic
ture that stands out like a silhouette is

Jesuit's buried treasure, told with tho
lasting charm of a Robert 'Louis Stev
enson. Irrigation In the United State, by Frederick
llaynes Newell. 52. Illustrated. T. Y.
Crowell & Co.. New Tork City. JC. Y.
It is President Roosevelt who re
marked not so very long ago: "The
forest and water problems are perhaps
the most vital Internal questions- of
the United States," and It is a matter
of agreement that one of the best-Informed,
if not the best informed men
in this country regarding our arid
lanJs and the principle of irrigation, is
Mr. Newell, who is the hydraulic engi
neer and chief of the hydrographlc
branch of the United States Geological
Survey, and chief engineer of the re
clamation service. Only recently n
writer in the American Magazine In
speaking of Mr. Newcll's work vrrote:
"For the ten years of indispensable
preparation for these vast operations,
the Nation Is indebted chiefly to Fred
erick Haynes Newell. Mr. Newell has
done his best to set his light under a
bushel, but since he has been chief en
gineer of the Reclamation Service, it bids
fair to set the bushel afire. They say
he has first-hand- knowledge of every
stream In the country, and knows more
about water in its native haunts than any
other man alive."
Tho present handsome, instructive vol
ume of 433 pages is a revised edition from
that of 1902, and is thoroughly revised and
otherwise brought up to date. Mr. Newell
is one of those who earnestly pleads for
a larger and better conception of the
opportunities of the West, and for the
need of broad control of forests and
water. He writes with authority on such
subjects as: Reclamation of public lands,
the arid regions, surface waters, convey
ing and dividing stream waters, reser
voirs, methods of irrigation, underground
waters, pumping water, advantages and
disadvantages of irrigation, irrigation
law. states and territories of the arid re
gion, states of the semi-arid region, hu
mid regions, etc. Three and one-half
pages ore devoted to arid Oregon. Mr.
Newell possesses the rare faculty of mak
ing all he. writes about Interesting and
purposeful. This new edition of his book
Is a standard work on the subject, and
everywhere will be recognized as such.

when they write about women invariably
adopt a sarcastic tone and think: it amus

experienced writer responsible for the

Tbr Patriot, by Cyrus Townsend Brad.

pany. New York City, and the J. K. Gill
Company. "Portland.
When -one considers that Mr. Brady was
born amid the roar of battle In the Civil
war and was the son of a Northern sol
dier, it Is surprising to read a war novel
such as this Is. tinged with warm South
ern sentiment. -The author frankly con
fesses, however, trained as he was in
youth to look on the events of the war
from a Northern point of view, that
reading, wide observation and talks with
many cx-soldlcrs on both sides, con
vinced him that there were greatness,
military ability, and hlgh-soulcd conduct
and character about both Grant and Lee
to make Americans proud and glad that
It was the same country that gave these
two heroes birth. So. "The Patriots." in
a measure, may be described as a most
Interesting, well written biography of
General Robert E. Lee. Commander-in-Chief
of the Confederate armies.
The tale begins at the secession of Vir
ginia from tho Union and concludes with
the surrender at Appomattox. The cen
tral figures of the story are Captain
Philip Grafton and his wife, two South
ern people. Plenty of stirring war pic
tures are painted, and tho recurrence of
gory conflict told of when men of the
same American blood fought to their
death, is worthy in Intensity of coloring
to the literary work admired in "The
Red Badge of Courage." The book Is also
marked by sympathy and superior de
icriptlve power, and without doubt It
gives the fairest and most liberal view of
Lee presented by a Northern novcllnu

It is popularly supposed that many
of our American Presidents have un
consciously predicted in boyhood the
exalted station they planned to
reach In after life. Abraham Lin

I related on page seven of this
ouok. mat wncn Mrs. Joslah Craw
ford reproved him for teasing the
girls in her kitchen and asked what
he supposed would become of him, he
answered: 'Til be President."
Mr. Kotnschlld's study of Lincoln
differs from the work of other biog
raphers In this, that Lincoln's mastery
over different types of men is pre
sented, as well as over himself. This
book of C31 pages Is emphatically a
book of Instructive Interpretation for
general reading and It .Is written In a
style showing enthusiasm and yet Is
condensed and mature. One of Its
greatest charms is Its freshness of In
terest. The last three of the eight
chapters consist of a treatment of
Lincoln's dealings with Stanton, a Just
study of Fremont and a keen analysis
of Lincoln's relations with McClellan.
Vcier aad Alexis,- by Dmitri MerelkowskL
G. P. Putnam's Sons. New Tork City, and
the J. K. Gill Company. Portland.
This Is a stirring romance of Peter the
Great, the man who made possible mod
ern Russia, and is the concluding novel
of Merejkowski's trilogy "Christ and
Anti-Christ." The two fanner volumes
were "The Death of the Gods." being a
tale of Julian tho Apostate, and "The
Romance of Leonardo da VlacL" It may
be explained that the three novels may
be read independently, as they are only
connected by a strong underlying Idea.
An earnest study is given of several of
the most Important episodes In the life
of the greatest of the Russian rulers.
In the story of the luckless Alexis, tho
reader will discern some of the attributes
of Xlcholcs. the present Russian Emper
or. This clever book is emphatically one
for men and women of mature minds,
capable of appreciating a phrenological
study.

Just as one flae flower la a garden
bows toward the greater beauty of a
more favored one. so this book, which
Is an analysis of the imaginative life
In relation to the creative spirit in man
and nature, leads other books In a very
wide collection. It stands relatively on
high ground, talks rather of the stars
than of mundane things, and Is logical
and luminous. Its principal aim Is an
attempt to make modern Idealism more
vitally effective, and It pleads for that
humacltarlanism of philosophical In
terest? which Is mere aad more becom
ing the goal of the Idealists of our gen
eration. Dr. Alexander very frankly
says that all he hopes to give la one
man's thinking through of one depart
ment of human experience. The titles
of the eight chapters are: "Impulse
and Song." "Evolution of Poetic
Spirit," "The Worth of Life." The Uni
versal and the Individual." "The Imag
ination." "Aesthetic Expression."
"Beauty and Personality." and "Nature
and Poetic Mood."
On page 65 Dr. Alexander discusses
race suicide, particularly In a rural
district of New England only he calls
the subject tho opposite of "life per
petuation." He shows how Memphis
and Babylon. Athens and Rome, gave
rise to culture at an eventual price of
national suicide, and reasons that mod
ern civilization repeats in modern guise
the ancient tale. Another jdea ad
vanced Is this: We know that the world
has ben reared In battles, and nour
ished in blood, and we must accept the
combat and the one means for the ad
vancement of the ideals that we serve.
Dr. Alexander, the next time you
write a book, please do not use In It
quotations In Latin and Greek. Was
not the English language good enough
for Shakespeare?
Iato the XJxht aad Other Verse, by Ed
ward Robeson Taylor. The Stau-ley-Taylor
Company. San Francisco.
A collection of poems extending to
156 pages, much above the ordinary
merit. The longest poem takes Its
name from the title" of the volume, and
Is a helpful sermon on service and Im
mortality. The collection can be read
with pleasure and profit, and possesses
an almost raelancnoly Interest, coming
as It does from the fire-scarred city of
San Francisco. Possibly by this time
the majority of the other copies or the
edition are reduced to ashes. Mr. Tay
lor has a muse of many moods. Sev
eral of his poems have already ap
peared in the Independent and the San
Francisco Examiner and Chronicle. A
number of the poems are now published
for the first time. ' One selection Is
"Pine Not, nor Fret":
Pine rot. nor fret: The rains will fall.
The sun will shine, the flowers still bloom."
And grains and fruits their riches yield;
The wheels will turn, and ever turn.
And ships still sail, and ever salt
But do thy part with faith and lore.
As best thou canst, and nought on earth
Can work thee 111. or make thee feel
One pang of fear.

A series of letters written to an
American friend by a bewitching little
Kentucky widow who Is a teacher In a
mission school In Japan during the
Russo-Japanese war, partly to escape
from the world which knows too well
the tragedy gf her brief wifehood and
widowhood. The little book bristles
with pleasant, original, restful ideas
and will be especially appreciated by
women readers, who will be glad to
know that at the last the little .widow
consoles herself with a second hus
band, who has been her Ideal all the
time.

Because of his matrimonial affairs.
Gorky appears somewhat unfavorably
in the public eye at present. But his
novels speak for him best. The pres
ent one Is a reprint or a story that has
already gained much deserved popu
larity, Gorky has all the realism of
Zola and in this book he has excelled
himself In painting true-to-llfe but
unhappy types. The novel Is one that
makes you think.
