Ths I.lff. of a Star, by Clara Morris. Mc
'lure. Phillip, & Co., New York City.
For one who Is essentially known as a
really great American actress and will
known to generations to come as such,
t'lara Morris has written much in a
Wographical, gossipy, discoursive sort of
way. She has fine literary ability, pathos,
and descriptive power eo much bo that
she would have probably made a national
name in literature had she not preferred
to stand or fall as an actress. She created
plenty of heroines and excelled in char
acter work old timers tell us in the
glare of the footlights, and it is within
the bounds of possibility that she could
have evolved pen-and-ink people who
could have been held in equally affection
ate remembranre.
The newest of Clara Morris' stage ex
periences com in this new volume, "The
I.ife of a Star," wherein the heart of the
woman and actress is laid bare that all
may read. Miss Morris' previous biog
raphies are memorable for their portrait
ures of notable men and women on the
stage and "out In front," and the 21
chapters of the present volume are equal
ly devoted to more memories of people
likely to prove interesting to the world at
large.
First there Is her foreword: "To stars
those sister women who tasted sorrow
and defeat before they won success, I
dedicate these memories with a clasp of
the hand, and the hope that they may
reign long and happily." How often we
hear the assertion that double-dyed
Jealousy Invariably exists between people
of the stage and musicians. But Miss
Morris' biography is so frank and can
did, her sympathy so sincere and her
charity so broad, that surely as an actress
there was no "catty." Jealous streak In
her makeup. Her comments on the many
people she met and tells about Augustin
Paly. Henry Bergh, President Garfield,
President McKinley, General Jubal A.
Karly, I. Q. C. Lamar, Allessandro Sal
vini. Dion Boucicault and others are
marked by a shrewd knowledge of hu
man nature coupled with bright, infec
tious optimism.
Natura'ly when Miss Morris speaks of
Mr. Daly she Is at her best. Mr. DRly
is painted as a man with a kindly heart
hidden by a brusque exterior a man who
ftbove ail things was one of the best
stage managers this world ever saw.
Other lady stars have believed utterly
In the masculinity of "Lady Macbeth."
yet Miss Morris speedily converted her
hearers into a conviction that Lady Mac
beth possessed marked femininity.
Once, In speaking to Mr. Daly of her
search In Europe for a new leading man,
Miss Morris said to her manager-employer:
.
"I found him on our last night in London.
"What was he like? Tall, flat-backed, square
shouldered, fres moving and wearing a long
rireMt coat that shibboleth of a gentleman
.as If that had been his custom ever since he
left his mother's knee. The play was Bul
wer's 'Money.' In the big scene he didn't
bang or rave or work himself up to a wild
burst of tears. He told the story of his
past, sometimes rapidly, sometimes making a
short, absolute pause. When be reached the
part referring to his dead mother, his voice
fell two tones, ills words grew slower and
mors difficult, and finally stopped. And when
the unconsciously sniffling audience broke Into
applause he swiftly turned his head aside
and with the knuckle of hla forefinger brushed
away two tears, ils name is Charles Cogh
lan. He's Irish. I'm a bit Irish myse'f
- you knsw I was born on St. Patrick's day in
the mornin. . . .
"I also saw England's great actor a star
by the grace of God's great gifts to him and
his own work. As a general thing I think ha
will look wonderfully like the character he
la playing. He la not beautiful, neither can
2 Imagine him a pantaloon actor, but his
raos will adapt Itself splendidly to any strong
character make-up, whether noble or villain
ous. He is the mightiest man In melodrama
today. I waa convinced of this by his first
live minutes' on the stage. His business wins
applause without the aid of words, and you
Vnow what that means.'
"What's his namsr1 asked Mr. Daly.
"He Is billed as Henry Irving." said I.
In the chapter "The Mormon Banquo"
Miss Morris excoriates the entire Mor
mon system and predicts that the hand of
the American woman "will yet collar the
neck and trim the claws of the great
Utah panther." Miss Morris says that
In her day to have played a season in
any Boston theater meant an addition
of at least to a week to the salary of
either man or woman In the stock. When
Miss Morrto played In Boston the bill was
"Camille" for the opening engagement,
and before the rise of the curtain her
iphwslnian wtamtngly exclaimed: "You
are playing this engagement on your
naked nerves!"
"And I turned to suggest solemnly:
"Und raped nerves, please, doctor. Do
remember this Is Boston where even peo
ple's thoughts are properly clothed."
A single thought runs through this bi
ography, the earnest desire of the ac
tress to live up to the highest possible
ideal In her stage work, and to give
out the very best that Is In her. The
book Is one to keep and treasure.
Confederate Operations In Canada and New
York, by Captain John W. Headley. Illus
trated. 2- Th. Neala Publishing Com
pany. New York City.
Captain Headley Is one of these writ
ers who honestly believe that something
new can be written from the Confeder
ate side on the operations of the Civil
War. At least there are a few people
who wll differ from him. At the cost of
a large amount of labor and expense he
has written a historical record of 480
pages on what the Confederates hoped
to accomplish in New York and Canada,
but admits there has been little consola
tion In so doing. 'Written from the pure
ly Southern point of view, the book has a
ring to It that sounds strangely to
Northern readers. Still, the book In part
tells of new things and will find its audi
ence, especially in Oregon, where many
sons and daughters of Confederate sol
diers are now among our valued citizens.
The Woman In the Alcove, by Anna Kath
arine Green. Illustrated by Arthur I. Kel
ler. ?1.50. The Bobbs-Merrlll Company,
Indianapolis, Ind.
Curiously enough, the modern read
er unconsciously associates Anna Kath
arine Green with a novel In which a
murder is the motif. "The Woman In
the Alcove" is a case in point, in which
the heroine, Rita Van Arsdale, attends
the Riimsdell ball, where in one min
ute Anson Durand asks her to be his
wife, and where in the next Mrs. Fair
brother is killed with a stiletto wield
ed by an unknown hand. All the guests
are searched, and a shade of suspicion
falls on Miss Van Arsdale and her lov
er. With fine detective skill. Miss
Green keeps up the mystery until the
second last chapter, when the real
murderer Is trapped in a most unex
pected way. The novel Is one of excit
ing1 charm so intense that on opening;
the book one is fairly whipped with
curiosity to read it to the bitter end.
Lady Betty Across the Water, edited by C.
N. and A. M. Williamson. Illustrations by
Orson Lowell, f 1.50. McClure, Phillips &
Co.. New York City.
Dull care and the troubles of this
world generally vanish when novel
readers are under the spell of anything
written, by the Williamsons more
power to them! People were pleas
antly enthralled when they read "My
Friend the Chauffeur," and they will
be more so when they read about Lady
Betty Bulkeley, a healthy, bright, Eng
lish aristocrat of 18, and whose brother
is a duke. In this novel, she visits
this country, dips Into New York so
ciety, makes the acquaintance of the
cadets at West Point, "does" Newport,
and goes West, where she meets her
fate In James Brett Harborough. Lady
Betty you are worth knowing. Though
your blood is blue, your are as enter
taining' as an American girl.
The Intellectual Miss Lamb, by Florence
Morse Kingsley. 75 cents. The Century
Company, New York City.
No more' original love story has been
published this year than this one. It
Is piquant, bright and clever. The hero
ine. Miss Rosemary Lamb, B. A. and
M. A., is a college instructor who looks
at humanity, especially young men,
through the spectacles of physiological
psychology, and ultimately falls in love

man way. The atmosphere recalls an
episode in a certain department of the
University of Oregon. This novel of 100
pages will prove entertaining reading for
educated young women.
The Court of Love, by Alice Brown. $1.25.
Houghton, Mifflin & Co., Boston, and the
J. K. Gill Company, Portland.
Different society men and women who
talk charmingly are met with in this en
tertaining novel. Julia Leigh, who in
herited a fortune and an estate from her
great uncle, turns the mansion. Winter
pool, into a "court of love, where every
body has what he likes and likes what he
has." a sort of social paradise. The
book reminding one of the stlye of
Anthony Hope In his "Dolly Dialogues"
has a new plot and quite a refreshing
ring. The book cover is a pretty study
In green, pink, and gold.
Mr. Pratt, by Joseph C. Lincoln. $1.50. A.

Two well-to-do New Yorkers, tired
of watching the ticker In the Stock
Exchange, try the experiment of living
the simple life on Ozone Island some

Full of dry Yankee wit and shrewd
ness, this queer and delightful charac
ter novel Is just the thing for holiday
reading.
The Damask Girl, by Morrison J. Swift. $1.
The Morrison J. Swift Press. Nsw York
City.
Nine short stories of modern life,
well told. The tone, however. Is coldly

Red Sstmders' Pets and Other Critters, by
Henry Wallace Phillips. Illustrated. Mc
Clure. Phillips Co.. New York City.
Ten rattling, breezy stories of the
sagebrush country, with its atmos
phere of cowboys. Indians, haughty
Spanish, grandees and the pets of a
typical ranch. "Red" speaks In his
forcible vernacular, and in such a nat
ural forcible manner that you almost
expect the next moment to look up and
find him seated upon the opposite
chair, dusting the alklll from his hat
and preparing to roll a cigarette. His
humor is as catching as ever. The
most human of his yarns is "Where the
Horse Is Fate," where his talent for
mingling laughter and tears has ad
mirable scope. In the yarn, "The
Pets," "Red" says:
Billy Qulnn. Wind River Smith and me
were putting up hay at the lake beds. It was
a God-forsaken, lonesome Job. and we took
to collecting pets, to make it seem a little
more like home. Billy shot a hawk, break
ing its wins- He waa a lovely pet. When you
gave him a piece of meat he said "Cree,"
and clawed chunks out of you. but most of the
time he sat in the corner with his chin on
his chest, like a broken-down lawyer. When
I was cutting close to a timbered slew, out
pops an old bob-cat and starts to open my
shirt to see If I am her long-lost brother. By
the time I got her strangled I had parted
with most of my complexion. Served me right
for being without a gun.
The Flower of France, by Justin Huntly Mc
Carthy. $1.50. Harper & Brothers, New
York City.
Mr. McCarthy Is already well known
for the strength and beauty of his his
torical pictures in "If I Were King." and
"The Proud Prince." Now. we have his
latest romantic novel, "The Flower of
France," in which the story of Joan of
Arc is charmingly retold In dramatic and
convincing style.'
Joan is not represented as a mailed
warrior and half-mad fanatic, but as a
simple peasant girl who leads the armies
of France quite as much by the power
of her Innocence and faith as by her be
lief in the power of the strange, guiding
voices. Joan's soldier comrade Lahire is
painted as - a man of many emotion!
sometimes a swaggering braggart ever
afraid and then a warrior with lion-
hearted courage generated in the right
eousness of his faith. He loved Joan as
a strong man loved a sweet maid, but
she replied that she had been called
apart : for what she called "lonelier"
duties than that of sharing a man's life.
The martial figures of the boastful Earl
of Suffolk and Lord of Talbot are drawn
with merciless precision. Rarely has any
modern novel had such a repulsive char
acter in it. one lost to all human emo
tion, as the brutish Lord Gllles of Laval.
His many deeds of blood proclaim him a
deeper villain than Scott or Bulwer Lyt-
ton ever painted.
A stage version of the novel will be
produced next season by -E. A. Sothern
and Julia Marlowe. As a play, the story
Is so well told that It Is sure to find
eager recognition and reward. It has all
the elements for success.
Thrills of a Bell Boy, by Samuel Ellsworth
Klser. 60 cents. Illustrated by John T.
McCutcheon. Forbes & Co.. Chicago.
Do you remember Wallace Irwin's in
imitable "Love Sonnets of a Hoodlum?'
Here's another laughter-maker in the
same category told in 15 chapters, brist
ling with slang and humor, well done and
exquisitely funny. The verses have that
snappy merit called jingle. Mr. Klser is
already well known from his newspaper
and magazine contributions. His bell
boy would be an acquisition and dividend
maker to any hotel.

The Praying; Skipper and Other Stories, by
Ralph D. Paine. Illustrated. $1.50. The
Outing Publishing Company, New York
City.
We are seven say the stories Mr. Paine
has published under the title "The Pray
ing Skipper." The others are "A Victory
unforeseen ; "Corporal Sweeney, Desert
er": "The Last Pilot Schooner": "The
Jade Teapot": "Captain Arandt's Choice'"
and "Surf man Brainard s Day Off."
The best of these and the gold among
the silver is that eloquent sermon, a hu
man cry in the darkness, "The Praying
Skipper, ' in which the tragedy of Captain
Jesse Kendrick, of the Suwannee, of the
Palmetto Line, is revealed. In fact, this
story is so good that It should be es
teemed a real privilege to read It.
Several of the other stories have the
smell of the brine about them, as befits
their creator, who was one of the best
oarsmen that old Yale ever produced. Mr.
Paine practically began his newspaper
writing under the tutelage of Commodore
Bob" Cook, of the Philadelphia Press.
Since then he has made his name famous
as one of the best magazine writers in
this country- Mr. Palne's stories have un
usual power, are of great human Interest
and have the merit of striking originality.
The book cover is a gem.
The Straggle for Self -Government, by Lin
coln SteSens. $1.20. McClure, Phillips
Co.. New York City.
This is an attempt by the chief of the
muck-rake men" to trace American po
litical corruption to its sources in six
states of this country. Mr. Steffens' chap
ters are: "A Dedication to the Emperor
Nicholas of Russia"; "Folk's Fight for
Missouri": "Chicago's Appeal to Illinois";
Wisconsin's Representative Government
Restored"; "Rhode Island a Corrupted
People"; Ohio a Tale of Two Cities."
and "New Jersey a. Traitor State."
Much If not nearly all of what Mr. Stef
fens has to say Is already familiar to
the reading public by what he has writ
ten for the current magazines. His Is a
stirring story and he gives a clear call
for actual, civic citizenship.
Heroes of Discovery In America, by Charles
Morris. Illustrated. $1.25. J. B. Llppln-
cott Company, Philadelphia, Pa.
Boys complain that the average history-
book Is dull, when they study the lives of
those heroes who in the true sense of the
word have "made" America. Here in
story-book form Is a series of admirable
sketches of these discoverers, from Lelf
the Lucky and Columbus, down to Lewis
and Clark and Dr. Whitman. There isn't
a dull page in the book. It possesses the
positive charm of a novel.
IN LIBRARY AND WORKSHOP
"In Olde Connecticut, being a record of cer

ings there in Colonle Times and later," Is the
title of a new book by Charles Burr Todd (The

Arthur Stanley Wheeler's story. "The Vio

he has ever done.

Reports from bookdealers rank ''The -House
of a Thousand Candles" as holding Its own
among the best sellers. Rumor has it that a
popular comic-opera star will make her debut
in legitimate comedy in the -part of Marian
Xvereux.
"The Way of an Indian" comes nearer than
most tales do to an accurate desirnation of
Frederick Remlneton's last book. It is ths
way of an Indian, lndesd, that is literally de
picted both in text and picture. One pass
age In which the hero scalps a white soldier
is astonishing for the force with which the
Indian point of view , is presented to the
reader.
Herbert Quick, author of "Double Trouble"
and other successful stories, puts his own
work to a severe test. Before he allows it to
go to the printer he re-reads it between read
ings of ths standard novels. The deadly com
parison would mean double trouble for most
writers. But Mr. Quick, as The Dial says,
"is diabolically clever."
Henry Holt & Co. have just contracted
with Burton E. Stevenson, author of "The
Holladay Case" and "The Marathon Mys
tery," for ths new romance by him entitled
"Affairs of State." This Is not. like the two
earlier books mentioned, a detective story, but
a modern tale of the experiences of certain
democratic Americans with European diplo
mats at a Dutch watering-place.
'
Sydney Preston's "On Common Ground" Is
appropriate to the time of year when men's
thoughts are. pretty generally turning toward
the country, as It tells a tale of a gentle
bachelor who became an amateur farmer. The
public has taken to the book kindly, for
scarcely had the first lot been received by
the booksellers when the publishers, Henry
Holt & Co., had to again send it to press.
The highest praise that can be given "Our
San Francisco," by James Hopper in Every
body's, is to eay that It will be Ions remem
bered as one of the very best among the hun
dreds of good stories published concerning
the earthquake and Are at San Francisco.

Gardiner, tells In graphic style bow an
American engineer, the late George F. I.abram,

The cosmopolitanism of Chicago is shown
by Its cordial reception of Mrs. Hutchlns Hap

says ths hero, "a lot of enormous, ugly build
ings dumped down on a prarie, with mud un
der foot, smoke overhead and everything filled
with soot that's Chicago outside. Inside It s
an aggregation of about 2,000.000 more or less
Interesting and lawless citizens." Such an
unflattering description of the metropolis of
the Central West so early In the book would
seem hardly calculated to put "The Eternal
Spring" among "the best sellers" in that city.
As a matter of fact, however, the book has
done better in Chicago than anywhere else.

about the newspaper office. In his first chap
ter, "Scribes and Pharisees." Mr. White says:
"Of course we print the afternoon Associated
Press report on the first page under formal
heads and with some dignity, but that first
page is ths parlor of the paper, as it Is of

pages, they and we go around in our shirt

pompous members of the village families with
straws from time to time, snd letting out tha
family secrets of the community without much
regard for ths feelings of the supercilious."

THE AMERICAN. PERIL?
How Older Countries View the Rise
of the United States.
Vance Thompson in Muneey'a.
Is the great American nation one of
those mighty empires which have risen
In the world now and then, dwarfing all
other organizations of society?
This question is of Immense Import to
Europe, as we have seen. Within the
last few years an enormous literature
has grown up around the subject. Among
modern sociologists none speaks with
greater authority than Gugllelmo Ferrero.
Long and scientifically he has studied our
country; his opinion of the present, his
forecast of the future,- represent the best
European thought upon the destinies of
the United States. To many it will seem
an exaggeration of our greatness: to oth
ers it will show an undue distrust of
democracy; but. In any case. It Is the
word of a scientific historian of a man
who Is looking for the truth. Neither
wealth nor science can change the laws
that govern the growth of nations. For
Signor Ferrero the United States stands
today in the position of tle Roman em
pire in the days of Augustus. He pic
tures an America which is bound to go
the Roman way; Increasing in power;
draining Incalculable wealth from that
Orient which enriched Rome: forced, in
spite of hereditary democratic Ideals, to
make Itself strong by land and sea In
order to hold its own and guard Its
world-wide trading fiag; overshadowing
the huge modern world as Rome did the
little civilization of the Mediterranean.
After calm reflection, and in a cold,
scientific way, the thinkers and states
men of old Europe predict for the new
world this visionary future; and brooding
over It, they seem to be in the very sha
dow of the peril. The practical Ameri
can, as he drops from the tallend of a
street car and goes about his business,
may not realize that Europe sees in him
the terrible fellow who Is to go swagger
ing down the way of the world, taking
the wall of everyone. In the good old Ro
man fashion: but so it s. He is even
when he wheels the baby abroad an
elghty-mlllioneth part of the great Amer
ican peril; In which fact he may find
a certain measure of satisfaction.
