A ilarinc study in economics, propo Inc that the world's business be con trolled not as at present, by separate Boveriunents. but by a Riant corpora tion or company, the shares of which could be sold at the price of J 1 each, and only one share to be ow ned by one person. t9 ThlT "Olllette'a Industrial solution Is not n-w. In IS 34 -Mr. Oillette. who Is already a successful business man. published bis first thoughts on the sub ject of the aniellirat ion of social Ills. In a work, entitled "The Human lrirt." and he tln-n wrote: "Fur many reasons I have come to the conclusion that there in no spot on the American con tinent or possibly 1" the world, that combi-ies so-many natural advantages as that sect. on of our country lyinK In the vicinity of the NIapara Tails, ex temlinK cast into New Vork State and nest n.o Ontario. The possibility of utilizing the enormous natural power resulting from the fall, from the level of Iike Erie to the level of Iake On tario, some not) feet, is no longer the drer.m of enthusiasts, but Is a demon strated fact. Here is a power which. If brought under control. Is capable of keeping in continuous operation every manufacturing industry for centuries to lome. and. in addition, supply all the lighting facilities, run all the ele vator? and furnish the power necig sary for the transportation system of the great central city." Since 1S34. various modest-appearing little books have been published, giv ing brief accounts of the new social -roinmonwcalth Mr. Gillette purposes establishing, but none apparently gave ttm plan In elaborated, extensive form. I This task has been reserved for Mr. Severy. who devotes 598 pages to a close and favorable presentation of the Clllctte idea. Tho one objection I have to his book Is "th space he devotes to social Ills before he sheds light on tha Gillette plan of salvation. It is not until the 4"d page Is reached that the pttlent reader at length sees what llr. S very Is drivltiar at. t'opiotis quotations on sociology are given from tho writings of Thomas tarlyle. Thomas Iaine. Karl Marx. Charlotte Perkins Gilman. Edward Bel lamy. Jack London, liishop Phillips lirooks. Elbert Hubbard. Adam Smith. Cm. IHrnard FMaw and others. Quota tions principally proving the Iniquity of the present competitive system in business and pointing to a coming brotherhood of man. tn which no man's hand will be raised against his neigh bor, indeed, the wealth of quotations slit prises the reader. Mr. S'-vcry begins by considering tho vrigin of man from the most primitive form of protozoa up the scale of inver tebrate intestinal animals, mud-fish, lizards, semi-apes. noes, gof lla. oralis, ape-man and man. Then he traces man irom the j'ingle. when competition to find a livelihood probably began, to the cave-period, and then to community life. One lntcn sting quotation: Here ara'some of lie thing's which bava r.een used in various times as money: Krom to tt3 Russia used platinum. The Burman Empire used lead, and ilia I.acede mcnlans. Iron.

Having shown this to be so. and also the Iniquities of the competitive system. Jlr. Severy proceeds to explain tiie altruistic system he woJld put in place for the world's government the rjlliette solution: Organize a corporation to bo known as Tha World Corporation Investment Com pany" This corporation will be organized tn a state of the tallied States which doua not impose a prohibitive capitalization tax. or It may ba Incorporated. !f deemed more o-tpedlent. upon forelcn territory. The Ini tial capitalization will bo l0".000.o)0. di vided into 10v.00O.0o0 shares of a par value of on doi:ar per share. Tha corporation will be managed by a directorate, originally composed of 2 members, to which will be added on additional member -for each ino.ooO shareholders who enter tho organ ization. The Immediate ..purposes of the or ganization will be the accumulation, by out right purchase, of thoroughly secure, divl-dard-paylng securities, estimated upon a basis of actual aJue hv a finance board of eleven, six to bs elected by the stockhold ers and five to be chosen by the director.

VrxT Monologue snil IHnleel Stories. By Mary Moncure Parker. Hreiierlck J. t:ake & VhiraEO. HI- Fortv-eight selections from the rich mine of Mary Moncure Parker's delight ful almost plavful. humor, comprising negro and Irish dialect stories: humorous, pathetic and dramatic recitations: child poems, sentimental poetry, etc. A note on the title page says that these selections are now published for the first time. I presume the author of this funny, little bonk is Mrs. Mary Moncure Parker, although there Is no hint in the pages that she is a married woman, and even "Who's Who?" Is silent on the -subject. There's a picture of her on the frontis piece, showing, by the way. chat in ad dition to a lovely gown and picturesque hat. she wears several finger rings. But It is difficult to detect If the rjng on the "magic" finger of her left hand Is a weddfhg ring. These well written stories and poems are much above the average In point of merit, ami have the sort of ring or chuckle which brightens many a side column in a newspaper or magazine. They are of manv moods in the scale of human emo tion. Probably the best specimen of S.-.-3. Parker's serious and beautiful word paint ing is her sketch. Iah." illustrating a well known incident of sacred wit where in Christ Is the central figure. In fun. Mrs. Parker is lcst In negro dialect and Is successful in such amusing recitals as "A Change of Front" and "A Fasci nating Man."

The most striking contribution In the volume of 160 pases Is that entitled "The Oath of Vengeance," giving particulars of "the mysteries of the Endowment House and oath of vengeance of the Mormon Church, as testified to by Pro fessor Walter Wolfs, late of the B.

Judge C. C. Goodwin writes an Intro duction, dated November 17. 19CS. In which he says: "All the old wrongs were re sumed within two years. Many of the highest officers of the church took new polvgamous wives, and the rule over the political beliefs of the Mormon people was re-established In all Its tyranny. Never was this more fully exemplified than In the election here in the present month." Judge Goodwin also writes dis approvingly of the course President Koosvelt "has pursued in the Mormon matter in "using the influence of his great office to continue the tyranny and the shaJtie." nirrnolocy. or The Doctrine of the Mentai Phenomena.

This interesting, volume of 431 pages, written in honest, old-fashioned English, and finely printed and illustrated. Is a reprint of a book originally puonsnea more than 75 years aso and which went through severaj editions, now out of print for many years. Dr. Spurzhelm was one of the notable founders of phre nologythe latter word being- derived from two Greek words signifying "mind'' and "discourse." and this book Is regard ed as his most important deliverance dealing with the subject. It is now re printed in the hope of attracting genuine I scientific attention, and ought to be re- I ceived with respect because of the earn estness of Its appeal. Ur. Spiirzhcini delines phrenology as "the doctrine of the special phenomena r the mind, and of the relations between the mental dispositions of the body, par ticularly the brain." His principal hope Is that he will be hnppy If he has suc ceeded in calling the' attention of others to the study of man. "and pnrticularly to the consideration of his moral nature, which Is essential to general happiness." The author specifically examines and dis courses on different physical organs, al most from an anatomical standpoint, and for instunce, in describing the affective powers ar.d organs of the mind, he con sider thes? unfler two hads. propensi ties and sentiments. I'nder these sub heads, these ejiibjects are scientifically discussed: Desire to live, alimentlveness, destrucilveness. amativeness, phllopro genltiveness, adhesiveness, lnhabltiveness, coinbatlveness. secretiveness. acquisitive ness, constructiveness. ei' Were Dr. Spurzhelm living now. he woulcr find his favorite study of phrenol ogy still alive, but recognizable only under two or three new names. JOSEPH M. QUENTIN. IX LIBRARY AND WORKSHOP. K. Phillips Oppenheim's "The Af I?sioner" Is announced tor this week. According to tjie opinion of several who have read the manuscript this promises to be by far tna best story Mr. Oppenhelm has written. A novel ' that was published In Ixindon last month and met with instant success wll be published this week hy Mitchell Kennerley. It Is "The Bomb." by Frank Harris, and deals In a realistic 'manner with the Haymarket riots in Chlcapo. Samuel L.. Clemens has incorporated tne Mark Twain company with a capital stock of S.-.isxl. Besides himself, his two daugh ters. R. V. Ashcraft, who is his business agent, and Miss I. V. Dixon, are the com pany's directors and owners of all of its capital stock. Samuel I.. Clemens Is the 'compaiiy'a president; Miss L,yon. vice-president, and Ashcraft, secretarv-treasurer. It Is a penetual corporation for the benefit of the clenrens family. It has acquired all right, tile a .Ml latareat'.ln demons' pen name o Mark Twain. Among the good things promised In the American Magazine for 1H0O is "Margarita's Soul." a new novel by a new novellas. In graham Lovell. Its characters are Amer ican and the scenes change from America to Kurode and back again. it Is both ro mance and a -problem. And all about Margarita a heautiful young woman of re markable temperament and talent, brought up with three people on a lonely Island, is suddenly thrown Into the midst of our rushing, world. The story has an alluring freshness and the assured touch that reveals a story-tellf r by .birthright. Horace Hazeltine. author of "The City of Kncounters." gives credit for his success to "Old -cleuth," whose detective storfs-s some years ago were being read by mh llons. "I once saw an interview with 'Old Sleuth.' " Mr. Hazeltine explains, "in which ho stated that the popular favor his work has won was due to tho simple formula he bore always in mind, 'Have something 'do ing every thousand words'; so when I cams to write hd adventure story I determined to go 'Old South' one better. 'I'll have something doing every live hundred words,' I said, and 'The City of Encounters" is the result."

"gently tapping, her fare with the tip of his taU.'-- "Dreaming River" Is a new story which will se the light this week. It has only two characters, with the exception of a good, queer old doctor who comes Into owe chapter. A man and a girl on the Min nesota prairie., that Is all and nobody else lives within 21 miles. Of these two charac-i.,i-m one is unconscious during one-third of the story. Out of-this material the author has made a book full of events, a nooa whose interest Is by no means confined to psychological situations, one In which some thing unexpected is continually 'happening. Another original feature is the fact that the hero is a ioet whose verse Is not imng insrv. but Is set down in the pages of the honk. It Is liery good verse, distinctly worth reading, and it is woven cleverly Into the fibre of the novel. Barr Moses. a.-tHnr. htas wai-er-before published a novel, but hasv written shorter fiction for many vears. A one time he studied writ ing under Robert Herrick, at the Univer sity of Chicago. ' , m S "Hello came ar gracious feminine voice over the Harccr wires the other day. "I would like to get aVcopy of 'The Bean- Comedy.' please. The puzzled publishes, person at the other end gets used to thlnktag quickly. "I don't oulte hear flirt you say 'The Beau's Comedy?'" he ventured. "I said 'Bean.' I mean what I said," said the voice, with asperity. "But. madam, there rsn'J we haven't Isn't it possible that some one has given you the wrong name? Ae you sure li couldn't be 'Beau?'"

"I think we have," said the publisher per son, meekly, then, sighing, sent atie "Bea"' which proved to be quite right of him. The office cat says that If the Bean ever had an experience bordering on comedy it nas been kept out of print. The encouraging outlook for poetry In this country was set forth In a letter from Thnn... b.ii.v nrf-ich to xtadison Caweln. which was written In lflO'i but which has Just been published through permlss.on , or the Kentucky poet. In the course of the letter Mr. Aldrlrh wrote: "I believe in a splendid literary future for this country. After the nil-absorbing novelists have run their cours4rwe shall have a generation, not of poets, perhaps, but of dramatists blank verse fellows. Imagination is not going to come to nothing In a vast Nation like ours. I would like to look on the United States ir0 years from now! Maybe I should come across volume upon volume of annotations on -Caweln's roems. wrongly attributed to J. Whitcomb Riley, or perhaps to Bacon, for there will still be material for the fool killer In a032 A. D." Since Mr. Aldrich wrote thus encouragingly regarding the prospects for his friend Caweln's Immor tality, the Louisville, yerse-maker has found an earnest of his growing fame In the production of a very elaborate edition de luxe ot his poems which has Just been brought out. The serial 'publication of David Graham Phillips' new novel, "The Fashionable Ad ventures of Joshua Craig." has started a llvelv controversy amnBe the champions of certain statesmen of the West and Middle West. "Joshua Craig." as Mr. Phillips paints him Is an ambitious young reformer, rough in manner, self-confident almost to the point of prigglslmess. but a man who sweeps nearly everything before him by the force of his character. In him many read ers believe thev detect a resemblarrce to such, men as Francis J. Ileney, Governor Folk and Governor-elect lladley of Mis souri. Senators La Follette ana Beverldgo. Governor Johnson of Minnesota and even the president himself. Mr. Phillips. It Is said, has been In turn amused and an noved by the Inquiries that have come to him in this connection, and has suggested to his publishers that when the book i published in a few days they effectually settle Jhe question by starting a popular voting 'eontest to determine who "JoshMa Craig" really Is. Clever advertising- Mr. Phillips: ' Among the Stoke new books for the pres ent month: A short novel by Barr Moses, entitled ."Dreaming River," which 1s do scribed as a love Idyl of the Minnesota prairie; "Lorimer of the Northwest." a new stirring Canadian storv. by Harold Bind loss, author of "By Right of Purchase.' etc. Ray Stannard Baker rurnisiies a tinie Iv little volume on "New Ideals in Healing,'"- which contains a short account ot the "Emmanuel Movement." and is the only comprehensive treatment of the various al lied movements. religious aad medical, which are taking on such a large sisitlll ennce. It Is well Illustrated. "Good Health and How We Won It." by Upton Sinclair and Michael Williams, is a new kind of health book. Twelve full-pace half-tones illustrate the work. "The Table Talk -of Abraham Lincoln." by William O. Stoddard, is unique among the books of the Lincoln Centenary, being Intimate, personal and ac curate, as it is by Lincoln's private secre tary, who saw him constantly. "The New York cake Book." from rhe same house, is a book of delicious recipes by a famous New York chef. "Auction Bridge." by R. V. Foster, contains the authorized rules of this game which Is so rapidly supplanting bridge. This unusually Interesting account of the assassination of President Garfield appears In the newlv Issued "Letters of Mrs. James G. Braine"; "Shall I ever forget the moment when Maggie Nurse came running into th room. crvlng, 'They have telephoned over to you, Mrs. Blaine, that the President Is assassinated!'

I want you to look out for Crete, the name he always give his wife. 'Don't leave me until Crete comes.' I took my old bonnet off and Just stayed. I never left him a moment, whatever happened In the room. I never blenched, and the day will never pass from my memory. At 6 or HERSELF TO RELIEF WORK Here, at high noon the sun looks down In stately calmness on the streets; There, twilight comes to field and town And night her minor croon repeats In whispers that are darkly sad But still the world is whirling on, And somewhere, jubilant and glad, There sound the trumpets of the dawn. The sunlight drips on drowsing ships And breaks, and falls in golden strips And lights the waves with jeweled tips. sA midnight here, a twilight there, Mid-morning and mid-afternoon But, laughing into life somewhere, The dawn comes as a wondrous boon . To eyes that yearn for light of day, To eyes that search the pulsing deep, . To eyes that fain would drive away The listless languor of dull sleep. The rosy dawn forever flies On wings of joy across the skies, w While each close-clutching shadow dies. The stars pale into nothingness To outer silence faint the stars When-dawn, her gladness to express, Flings forth her first far-reaching bars. The sea breaks into limpid light, The shades that robed the world are gone Out of the mystery of night There leaps the miracle of dawn. The sunlight drips on drowsing ships, And breaks, and falls in crimson strips Then sing the waves with rosy lips. i thereabouts Mrs. Garfield came, frail, fa tigued. desperate, but firm and quiet ana tuU oi purpose to save, and I think now there Is a possibility of succeeding.
