Man
The quintessence of dnst:v
Books, from the ashes of his' mirth,
Madness and sorrow, seem
To draw the elixir of some" rarer gust:
Or, like the Stone of Alchemy; transmute
Life's cheating dross to golden truth of dreams."

The Fighting Chance, by Robert W. Cham
bers. Illut.trated by A. B. Wenzell. J1.50.
D. Appleton tc Co.. New York City.
Once upon a time a man and a maid
loved each other, but gloom came when
morbid perstons told her that he was
the descendant of drunkards and would
very possibly fill a drunkard's grave.
She herself was the descendant of a race
of Norman robbers, who had thieved
more industriously than their neighbors,
so much so that an admiring King had
made them members of a blue-blood
aristocracy. And behold, the girl was
so much a believer in the oower of hered
ity and Its possible physical conse
quences that she turned coward, became
a merry old maid, and lived for her cats.
Mr. Chambers has struck a dominant
note of this same heredity in writing his
novel of society life, mostly of modern
New York, "The Fighting Chance," and
his sympathy is so loving, charity so
broad, and purpose so uplifting that he
has at last given us the most wonderful
and the best of his many novels. It will
be recalled that "The Fighting Chance"
has been appearing serially in The Sat
urday Evening Post, and multitudes of
readers have asked how on earth the
problem was going to be worked out.
Sometimes one wondered if Stephen Si
ward was to be allowed to drink himself
to death, and of Miss Sylvia Landis,
pilden-haired and otherwise beautiful,
was going to pawn herself for life to
Howard Quarrier, gilded wretch?
However, Mr. Chambers understands
his craft so well that the conclusion
reached is an eminently human one, and
will be generally approved.
Critics said that in writing "Iole" and
"The Tracer of Lost Persons," Mr.
Chambers had given to the world his
best and most satisfactory love stories,
but there Is far more tumultuous passion
and burning Intensity in "The Fighting
Chance." The latter Is one of the big
books of the season, and should be wide
ly read. It is a noteworthy achieve
ment In American letters. Mr. Cham
berg deals with real men and women,
and makes them tell the story in the
most natural yet fascinating manner.
Stephen Siward is first introduced to
u as a man on whom there Is a taint
of drunkenness Inherited from numerous
aristocratic ancestors. At the opening of
the book he had just been expelled from
a New York club on a -false charge of
having while drunk smuggled therein a
girl of the demi-monde, dressed In male
attire. Siward knew that through gen
erations he had inherited every Impulse
and desire that he should not harbor
and that he was a man with Intellect
enough to beware of this, with decency
enough to desire decency. In fighting
aerainst the enemy he asks himself:
"What chance have I with the storms
which have been brewing for me, even
liefore I opened my eyes on this earth?"
His family had been New Yorkers ever
wince New York was, and although each
Siward had risen to wealth and honor
cither In commercial or professional lines,
each of them had been ruined by the
master vice. The mere smell of wine
In a room, consumed Stephen Siward with
an uncontrollable desire to drink it.
Opposed to this was the dubious in
heritance of Sylvia Landls, a society girl
whose female ancestors' marriage vows
had lightly sat on them Where they
loved they usually found the way rather
unconventionally. There was talk of di
vorce, of general indiscretion. Sylvia's
grandmother had eloped and her mother
ran away.
It would seem then to the close student
of sociology that in bringing together
these two characters of Stephen Siward
and Sylvia Landis, the novelist bad ef
fected somewhat combustible creations
whose salvation might toe complicated.
Miss Landls had no money of her own
and as she must marry a man of wealth
to furnish her with the luxuries to which
she has been accustomed, she agrees to
marry Howard Quarrier, millionaire, who
was also distinguished by having a will
of his own under his pompadour and
allky beard, a la Jimmy Hyde of New
York and Paris. A Mrs. Ferrall shrewd
ly observes: "In our stock farms and
kennels, we weed out, destroy, extermi
nate hereditary weakness in everything.
We puy the greatest attention to the
production of all offspring except our
own."
Real poetry is shown in the love mak
ing between Siward and Miss Landls.
For Instance:
She bent tier bead, blinded with tears,
swaying, stunned: then, with a breathless
pound, turned In his arms to meet his Hps.
her bands contracting; in his: and. confront
ing, they paused, suspending; the crisis,
oung faces close, and hearts afire.
"Sylvia. I love you."
For an Instant their lips clung; she had
rendered him his kiss. T.ien. tremblingly.
"It is useless . . . even though I loved
you."
"Say it!"
"I do."
Say it!"
"I I cannot."
'I do not give you up." Seward said wlt'n
a savage note hardening his voice. It
thrilled her to bear It, and every drop of
blood in her body leaped as she yielded to
bis arms again, heavy-lidded, trembling,
confused, under fine piercing sweetness of
contact.
The perfume of her mouth, her hair, the
consenting fingers locked in his. palm
against palm, the Hps, acquiescent, then aflre
at last, responsive to his arm: and her eyes
opening from the dream under the white
lids these were what he had of her till
.walk;the earth,
O 0aw. es"' &&c'g
Minim i nil U4fc?SE-.
every vein in him pulsed flame. Then her
voice, broken, breathless:
"Good-night. Love me while you can
and forgive me! . . Where are we?
I am half dead with fear. If you take me
again, my knees will give way.
And I must find my door. . . . Good
night. I I love you!"
Siward was brave enough to tear him
self from Sylvia because he feared that
marriage was not for him, because of the
question of heredity. How he fought his
overpowering desire to drink when alone,
is told with remarkable skjll. On one
occasion Slward's family physician. Dr.
Grisby, states:
"People say. 'Shall criminals be allowed to
mate and produce young? Shall malefactors
be allowed to beget? No.' ' And I say no.
too. Never, so long as they remain crim
inals and malefactors; so long as the evil In
them is in the ascendant. Never, until they
are cured. That's what I say and that's
what I maintain. Crime is a disease; crim
inals are sick people. No marriages for them
until they are cured: no children for them
until they are well. If they cure themselves
let them marry. If their children inherit the
Inclination they also Inherit the grit to
cauterise the malady."
Pheasant shooting, automobillng, high
finance, love-making by the roar of the
oceean and other relaxations are vividly
portrayed, with grip and humor. And it
Is pleasant to know after all that the
troubles of Stephen and his Sylvia dis
appear as the two principal actors in
the drama talk about the perplexities of
approaching housekeeping.
Mr. Chambers scatters a few epigrams
through his book:
A girl ought to And' more happiness in
renouncing a selfish love than In love itself..
A woman is always an opportunist.
Anything he finds amusing he Is clever
with dogs, horses, pen. brush, music,
women.
Nobody ever had enough love in real life.
Out of these little windows called eyes we
look at one another and study surfaces, and
try to peep Into neighbors' windows. But
all Is dark behind the windows always
dark. In there where they tell us souls hide.
In New York nothing is really very old,
except the faces of the young men.
The Church and the Social Problem, A Study
In Applied Christianity, by Samuel Pla'ntz.
president of Lawrence University. $1.25.
Jennings & Graham, Cincinnati, O.
An uneasy note Is detected In this well
reasoned book of 356 pages. Why do not
the people, at large, go to church and
wherein does the church, fail?
President Plantz Is of the opinion that
the Christian Church is facing a cri.iis
of the utmost importance and can only
meet the condition of the age by adapt
ing Its teachings and methods to the pe
culiar conditions of our times. He shows
the church its faults and Is able
enough to say where the remedy ought
to be applied. His principal point Is
that the real mission of the church is
moral and that the greatest need of the
laboring classes In order to rise to better
conditions Is a development to ethical
consciousness.
"The church should stay with the peo
ple," this experienced, critic goes on to
say, "showing an interest in them by
its activity and seeking to educate them
to appreciate Christian ethics and the
Christian philosophy of life. Do not
move a church from a downtown district
because that location Is no longer fash
ionable. That might be the reason for
moving a club. The church must come
into contact with the working people, its
social touch must he accompanied by
benevolent activity. Its pulpit utterances
should be pungent, practical, earnest, full
of vigor. It can help solve the social
problem by insisting that Its members
shall practice as well as believe in the
ethical principles of Christianity, by see
ing to it that it maintains no class preju
dices and distinctions; by urging on so
ciety the principle of co-operation; by
interpreting to capital Christ's Idea of
human brotherhood."
The severe criticism of Tennyson In hla
"Northern Farmer" Is quoted:
And I always came to his church before my
Sally were dead.
And I heard him humming away like a
buzzard-cock over my bead.
And I never knew what he meant, but I
thought he had something to say.
And 1 thought he said what he ought to
have said, and 1 came away.
Such a candid, get-together book is
rare in this age of general condemnation,
and it deserves a careful reading.
Crime of the Profit Furnace, by Miss Nina
E. Wood. M. D.. L L. B. 25 cents. The
J. K. Gill Company, Portland.
As its title would naturally" Imply,
this little book with an appropriate
cover In scarlet and rejoicing to the
extent of 75 pages, is a beacon light
on socialism and written by a pro
nounced Socialist who says that the
Republican party has been dead ever
since the trust-era of machine produc
tion began. Miss Wood is a native of
Wisconsin and since 1875 she has
called this city her home. At 16 years
of age she was a hired girl and since
then she has been ,a dressmaker,
laundry worker, cook, nurse, public
school teacher, private tutor, book
keeper, , stenographer, typewriter etc
She was also secretary of a co-operative
colony, and nas been a practicing
physician and lawyer. For the last
three years. Miss Wood has been a.
lecturer on Socialism and for five yearg
a teacher of that cult.
From the array of facts presented,
the book Is unusual and worth a hear
ing. More than half the space Is taken
up with a consideration of social evils
of cities and the assertion Is Inferred
that such condition is the natural re
sult of the present Industrial system.
Of course. Socialism is presented as a
panacea, and the points insisted on are:
Collective ownership, democratic man
agement and equal opportunity to use
and. enjoy all properties which are
publicly used by the people; and vote
for Socialist candidates for public of
fice. . Race suicide Is denounced, with
fiery zeal.
San Francisco, Through. Earthquake and
tire, by Charles Keeler. Illustrated. 73
cents. Paul Elder A Co., San Francisco.
Although a little late in arriving, this
picture in words which thrill with the
vividness of vision of the late San Fran
cisco disaster has permanent value, and
of all the books of similar import on the
subject it is the very best so far sold.
There have been so many cheap editions
printed all purporting to give the only
truthful account of the blow that has
leveled the city by the Golden Gate, that
readers became cautious. But Mr. Keeler's
book will obtain an open sesame any
where. Just the little book for a keep
sake. It Is illustrated with a double
page frontispiece and 14 full-page half
tones in color tone from copyright pho
tographs by A. C. Pillsbury, H. S. Hoop
er, Oscar Maurer, O. V. Lange. and oth
ers. And it is printed In black antique
face type on deckle-edge paper and bound
in heavy, rich-toned cover paper, with a
two-color cover design by Louise M.
Keeler.
The Throne Room of the Soul, by Carl G.
Doney, Ph. r. $1. Jennings & Graham,
Cincinnati, O.
Thlrty-flve luminous sermons In a
friendly, clearly cut vein that takes
them out of the ordinary, dry-as-dust
theological region. The titl-s of
the first sermon is given to the series
because of its specific character. It is
Interesting to note that these condensed,
crisp presentations were first printed in
a newspaper the day following their de
livery. Welcome? Yes. They are or
thodox, devout and safe. Every truth
discussed is looked squarely in the face
and no half-way measure taken. The
language used is simple and the conclu
sions reached are as Beecher,- Kingsley
or Bishop Vincent might have written.

One of the most beautiful old estates in
England is "Stocks," the home of a novelist
equally beloved In England and America,
Mrs. Humphry Ward. It lies on the border
line between Buckinghamshire and Hertford
shtre, and though within easy distance from
London, la situated amid some of the finest
country scenery in all England. The keen
delight which Mrs. Ward, takes In nature
is shown in all of her books, but perhaps
most notably in her latest, "Fen wick's Ca
reer' in which her .descriptions of the beau
tiful Westmoreland scenery are colored with
an artist's appreciation. There Is much in
"Stocks" and the neighborhood to intercut one
who, like Mrs. Ward, is a student of British
literature and history. The estate la one of
the oldest In England so old, in fact, that
it is mentioned in the Domesday Book. The
house was once ths residence of the seventeenth-century
poet Waller, and In the . gar
den stands a huge tree in which Is hewn a
rough niche still called the "Poet's Seat."
Later. Sir Walter Scott used to be a fre
auent visitor at the mansion, and is said
to have taken his title of "Ivanhoe" from
the neighboring village of Ivlnghoe. A Id bury
village, which adjoins "Stocks," Is a quaint
old-world place, with a village-green which
still contains a whipping-post and wooden
stocks, and a pond where, until recently, it
was the custom to duck village scolds and
petty offenders. There is also a church filled
with quaint memorials of the old country
families. Mrs. Ward's own study Is a pretty
room looking out over an exquisite expanse
of country. Here the major portion of her
last four books "Eleanor," "Lady Rose's
Daughter," "The Marriage of William Ashe,"
and "Fenwick's Career" have been written.
She Is a methodical worker, generally spend
ing the morning hours in writing, while her
afternoons are given over to social diversions
and to the various philanthropies In which
she is actively Interested.

Why, courage, then! what cannot be avoided,
Twere childish weakness to lament, or fear.
Shakespeare.
"What does It cost, this garniture of death
It costs the life that God alone can Rive:
It costs dull silence where was music's
breath.
It costs dead joy that foolish pride may
live.
Ah! life and Joy and song, depend upon it.
Are costly trimmings for a woman's bon
net." Anonymous.
Go to your work and be strong, baiting not
In your ways.
Balking; the end half-won for an Instant dole
of praise. -
Stand to your work and be wise certain of
sword and pen.
Who are neither children, nor gods, but men
In a world of men! Kipling.
Seen through the vista of the vanished years.
How trivial seem the struggles and the
crown;
How vain past feuds when reconciling tears
Course down the channel worn by vanished
frown!
How few mean half the bitterness they
speak !
Words more than feelings keep us still
apart, i
And, In the heat of passion and of pique.
The tongue is far more cruel than the
heart.
Since love alone makes It worth while to
live.
Let all be now forgiven, and forgive.
Alfred Austin.
