The Balance of Power, by Arthur Goodrich.
Illustrated by Otto Toaspern. $1 50. The
Outing Publishing Company, New Tork
City.
A new author, by the excellence of his
character drawing and especially in his
masterful creation of John Gilbert, has
made a great stride toward Instant pop
ularity by the presentation of his labor-and-capltal
novel, "The Balance of Pow
er." The latter may be called one of the
principal American novels of the year.
From cover to cover, the interest is so
Intense that it is impossible to once lay
down the book at any stage of the recital.
John Gilbert, general manager of mills
employing hundreds of men and boys at
Hampstead, Conn., is the hero, and more
than one reader who has already made
Gilbert's acquaintance hazards the opin
ion that this new hero for simplicity,
broad vision and strength reminds one
somewhat of Abraham Lincoln. Prob
ably. A similarity Is also suggested be
tween Gilbert and the hero of "John
Halifax, Gentleman." Both rise from the
ranks to become employers of labor, have
their hours of Btorm and trial, and their
characters are moulded in adversity.
They are tried as gold is tried, and are
not found wanting.
Mr. Goodrich introduces us to the In
dustrial town of Hampstead, which may
be a name concealing the location of
Alerlden or Bridgeport. The population
principally earns its living by working in
the Hardy and the Hubbard mills, and
at the opening of the story Gilbert is
assistant superintendent in the Hardy
mills. Alonzo Hubbard, by virtue of his
superior business capacity, manages to
swing away trade from the Hardy inter
est, and the germ of the story lies In the
fight engineered by Gilbert to bring the
Hardy mills up to the efficiency of their
rival in wealth and output, and to pos
sess the balance of power. Mr. Hardy, in
the opening chapters of the novel, is de
scribed as a he-bear, autocratic and
brooking no opposition to his will. "Wor
rying over the details of business, he ulti
mately leaves most of the working man
agement to John Gilbert, who becomes
one of the industrial kings of Hampstead.
The latter town is thus described:
A bupy city with its ragged Una of brick
blocks showing above the green of the trees.
Long streaks of smoke twisted like ribbons,
from a hundred chimney mouths and marred
the beyond of blue mystery about tha bills.
On often wondered what Buskin would
bava said to tna blue of dirty smoke and
sooty chimneys. And yet down at the mills
the noise and tha quiet discipline and the
sense of an army of men doing things ap
pealed to imagination.
Through the industrial turmoil and
etrike that follows. Gilbert is the domi
nant and winning personality especially
In his conflict with Walking Delegate
Conltn, who is caricatured in these words:
"He was short, with a figure like a care-(ully-rolled
wad, over which hung a frock
coat that looked as if it had never met a
tailor's Iron since it was made. A dia
mond shirt stud sparkled in the opening
of his tan colored waistcoat, and he wore
russet shoes. A cigar was stuck in his
narrow mouth; his hair was black and
greasy: and a large flat nose squatted in
the middle of his clean-shaven face."
The chapter describing the strike is
powerfully written, and the downfall of
Walking Delegate Conlin. who secretly
was in Hubbard's pay to ruin Hardy,
"will be read with a chuckle of satisfac
tion. And the girl In the case? She is
Clare Hardy, , and of course Gilbert
loves her. She is a girl of many moods,
eternally feminine, pretty and pos
sessed of enviable business sense. Colo
nel - Mead maker of phrases Mr.
Lumpkin, Jimmy O'Rourke and Mrs.
Gilbert are all attractively drawn.
They are everyday people, help the
tstory. are good talkers, and here are
several of their cnance remarks:
Cleanliness may be next to goodness, but
comfort is better than either of them.
Men. the best of them, are always wanting
to do what It Isn't In them to do.
Love is a luxury and marriage a necessity.
Mothers like tneir boys to be always their
boys, and every larger pair of trousers tha
boys get brings lumps to the mothers'
throats.
The only way to get rid of bad blood is to
spill it in fair fight.
You can trust almost every woman's heart,
but you cannot trust any woman's tongue.
Emphatically a novel of temperament
and experience, giving a singularly
vivid piciurt of a vital struggle in
American work-a-day life.
The. Treasure Trail, by Frank L. Pollock.
$V2.V L. C. Page & Co.. Boston. Mass.,
and the J. K. Gill Company. Portland.
Exceptionally exciting reading, and one
adventure follows so closely after an
other that the interest of the reader never
tires. The plot fairly gallops to the end.
and reminds one of the genius of Rider
Haggard or Robert Louis Stevenson. And
the story is so much out of the beaten
path.
Two distinct parties of American ad
venturers, unknown to each other at the
opening of the story, get a clew that gold
bullion, originally stolen from the Boer
government at Pretoria shortly after the
opening of the British-Boer War. is stored
in the ship Clara McClay. sunk some
where In the Mozambique Channel. How
to get the gold, valued at nearly J2.000.
Cfln, forms the thread of the romance. One
party of treasure-seekers, numbering
among them Elliott, ex-newspaper re
porter and Oregon sawmill employe, and
Miss Margaret Laurie, chiefly concern us,
as they are, after all. the lucky ones.

Eedlotls Etiquette, by Gideon Wurdz. Illus
trated by Wallace Goldsmith. 75 cents.
Frederick W. Stokes Company. New Tork
City, and the J. K. GUI Company. Port
land. Charles Wayland Towne, under the
nom-de-plume of Gideon Wurdz, achieved
a tremendous success as a fun-smith
with his recent book "The Foolish Dic
tionary." Now he makes another venture
in "Eediotic Etiquette," and although It is
like trying to hit the moon with a base
ball to keep up a steady gait as a pro
fessional humorist, Mr. Towne is still in
the procession and doing well. He gives
advice, of the ludicrous order, for be
havior at birth parties, christenings,
church services, theatres, kissing, depart
mental stores, weddings, etc. and raises a
laugh easily. his wit is natural without
being forced. , His book is a safe cure
to ward off the gloom of a dark day.
. "In church" Mr. Towne says, "strangers
should never allow themselves to be mis
led by the clergyman's theme. "Whoa,
every one that thlrsteth" is not a hint to
leave between the acts.... In kissing a
girl, never -wear a smooth face, lest she
be unable to distinguish your perform
ance from that of her dearest girl friend.
On the other hand, do not wear a mus
tache or beard. Women are apt to set
their faces against them.... Popping the
question: 'Madam, I come not to praise
you, but to bury you. If you will share
my modest lot in the marriage cemetery,
order a shrowd from Worth, and I will
have the invitations embalmed at once.' "
The Illustrations show more than ordin
ary talent and the humor shown in them
is Infectious.
Cities of Northern Italy, by Grant Allen
and George C. Williamson. In two vol
umes. Illustrated. L. C. Page & Co..
Boston, and tha J. K. Gill Company, Port
land. .
These are far removed from the region
of the ordinary guide books. Bound in
superior fashion and illustrated by means
of many plates describing personages and
scenes which shall be famous as long as
the world lasts, these exquisite volumes
are designed to supply the tourist who
wishes to use his travel as a means of
culture, with such historical and anti
quarian information as will enable him
to enjoy the architecture, sculpture,
painting and minor arts of the towns he
visits.
It was with feelings of the most pro
found regret that the reading world be
came aware that before completing the
"Cities of Northern Italy," Grant Al
len's labors were cut short by his death.
The work was so far advanced however,
that with the assistance of George C.
WrlUlamson the undertaking was satis
factorily completed, especially as Mr.
Williamson had, sometime previously,
often talked with Mr. Allen about his
work. Among the places of historical in
terest visited are Milan. Verona, Padua,
Bologna and Ravenna. Legend, historical
fact and local color are charmingly
blended into an artistic whole.
6o beautifully designed are the vol
umes that they will form a most ac
ceptable present to a person of artistlo
tastes, and would also grace any one's
library table. To read these treasures
is next to taking a real trip to Italy.
The Sphinx's Lawyer, by "Frank Danby."
SI. 50. Frederick A. Stokes Company. New
Tork City, and the J. K. Gill Company,
Portland.
The clever writer of this novel pictur
ing the life of a woman Bohemian whose
influence was not always for good, is also
the authoress of that brilliant success.
"Pigs In Clover." "The Sphinx Lawyer"
is a step in another direction and tells
of a phase of English society that may
be described as morbid.- The woman in
the case crucifies her life by falling in
love with a man who is at once an
intellectual genius and moral degenerate.
The question is also asked: Should our
prisons as is the rule make men worse
instead of better? The book's great
merit is that it Is a patient, searching
study of realism, only requiring a crisp
humor to make the picture complete.

plained. Miss Balrd, a woman detective,
uses her quick wits in telling this co
hesive, well-planned detective agency
story, which has much good incident and
adventure to commend it.

SIGNATURES HARD TO READ
Use of a Rubber Stamp Suggested by
a Postal Official.
Washington Star.
"Business men and officials whose cor
respondence is extensive," said a Post
office Department official to a Star man,
"are daily confronted by a question which
is one of the most annoying in the cor
respondence world the illegibility of the
signatures attached to the comriiunlcatlons
of some of their correspondents.
"Many men in signing their names to
their letters appear to take a diabolical
delight in constructing the signature in
as illegioie. scrawly manner as possible,
the firm name or individual signatures to
many letters received at the department
and in the usual course of business else
where being absolutely unreadable, and
were it not for the departmental letter
head whic.i identifies the official or the
firm or Individual caption a reply could
not be made.
"I will offer a suggestion which will be
found of value to the individual letter
writer and the general public as well:
"Since chirographists claim that after
certain age in life it is quite useless to
attempt to reform an individual's hand-writine-,
these illegible signatures will not
be corrected by their authors. This class
of writers owe it to their correspondents
to adopt the plan of affixing the correct
name with a small rubber stamp to the
letter close by the written signature. I
have received a number of letters thus
signed recently and the idea is a new and
an excellent one. One of these letters
was from an official in one of the depart
ments in Washington, and but for the
rubber stamp name on the letter the
signature could not be read by the hand
writing experts in this department, and
this is saying a good deal, as they can
decipher almost anything in the hand
writing line. Even with the assistance
of the rubber stamp there was no re
semblance whatever In the ink crow
tracks to the ordinarily recognized let
ters of the alphabet composing the name.
As this officials title consumed three type
written lines beneath the signature, he
certainly owed it to the public to use a
rubber stamp.
it is these illegible signatures which
correspondents attempt to decipher and
copy on the envelopes of their replies
that cause so many letters to go astray
and which ultimately find their way to
the dead-letter office, often causing seri
ous delay and loss. Where a signature
cannot be deciphered a good' plan is to
cut it out of the letter and paste it on
the envelope over the street, town or
citv address. This accomplishes two pur
posesit enables the postman to get the
letter to the right address, making the
identification of the addressee possible,
and it conveys, or ought to convey, to the
addressee a silent but effective notice
that his signature is too execrable to be
read and that it is up to 'him either to
Improve upon It or spend 10 cents for a
rubber stamp and use it. There are many
provoking things, In the world, and one
of the most aggravating is to puzzle over
an Illegible-signature to a letter."

Even if mercury and potash could cure Contagious Blood Poison the
condition in which these strong; minerals leave the system would make the
cure worse than the disease. But they cannot cure the vile disorder ; they
can only cover up the symptoms for awhile to break out with renewed vio
lence when the treatment is left off. When the virus of Contagious Blood
Poison enters the blood the entire circulation becomes poisoned, and the
loathsome symptoms begin to appear. The mouth and throat ulcerate, hair
and eyebrows come out, glands of the neck and groin swell, copper-colored
spots appear on the body, and in severe cases sores and ulcers break out, and
even the bones become diseased. S. S. S. 13 the only certain, safe cure for
Contagious Blood Poison ; thousands have been cured by it after failing with
the mineral treatment, Hot Springs, etc. It is the only remedy that is able
to get at the root of the disease and force out the poison so that no signs are
ever seen again. S. S. S. is purely vegetable, being made of roots, herbs
and barks, and never leaves any bad effects, but instead, tones up the stom
ach and digestion and builds up every part of the system while removing
the poison from the blood. Book with instructions for self- treatment and

Podunlc Millionaires.
New York Sun.
What would this old town be without
The Podunk millionaires.
Our own. they do not go about
Like Podunlc millionaires.
And though we have at least a tew.
They're not continually on view
A circumstance which is not true
Of Podunk millionaires.
I tramp the spacious thoroughfare
Where Podunk millionaires
With gasoline perfume the air.
Like lesser millionaires.
And if I safely cross the war
And live to tramp another day, ;
1 owe my life, I frankly say, ,
To Podunlc millionaires.
Sometimes when, late at night, I fain
Like common .millionaires.
Would have a bit of lobster nlaln
Among the millionaires.
1 feel my humble aelf unnerved
To find tha tables all reserved
For those who must be later served
The Podunk millionaires.
I sail my catboat on the bay
Where Podunk millionaires
In steam yachts take the right of way.
Like Podunk millionaires;
And if perchance they run ma down
My deeDest sorrow as I drown
Will be that 1 have caused a frown
To Podunk millionaire.
The gardens on the roofs by night
Attract the millionaires:
The ocean breezes they Invite
All sorts of millionaires:
And when these palaces on too
The champagne and the plstola pop,
Beneath my table do I drop
It's Fodunk millionaires. '"
If when T come to heaven's gat V
Some Podunk millionaires ; ,
Should chance to be a trlfla lata
For Podunk millionaires,
Will good St. Peter sternly roarf
"Jones, get in line outside the door
Tou don't expect to walk before
Those Podunk millionaires?"
