American story. .
tiut. tlinnk tfoodiieet; such people do not
roiiHtltuta our reading population, which
Is conipoited largely of happy fathers,
umtherg and children, the products of hap
py homos, places where the dear ones of
a household wloep, eat, tend the flowers,
pray, and, oh! the dozen different things
that make up home. To such plain,
e very-day folks who are the very bed
rock and safety of this Republic of ours,
"Mary Jane's Pa" will prove to be a
heart-searching story, telllnsr of a human
home where those, who dwell make mis
takes, as all humans do, -hut who love
each other through sunshine and storm,
to the last. The novel has a message
that Is grateful and comforflntr. and in
some of the moments beiween Mary Jane
and her father, the heart interest Is so
stronjf Uiat one reads with dimmed eye
sight. "Mary Jane's Pa" oueht to have a spe
cial Interest for printers, because the
hero. Hirom Perkins, printer, is, at the
opening of the story, editor and propri
etor of the Medairyville .Weekly Banner,
an Indiana newspaper. It should also be
explained that tho story is adapted from
the play of that name by Bdith Ellis,
and that the play has -been received with
great enthusiasm. Hiram Perkins was
unusually lazy, but if he hadn't been,
this story or play might not in all prob
ability have ever been written. Here is
a picture of Hiram Perkins, lazy news
paper man and master printer. 28 years
old:
Hiram PerklBfli Ktunjtlnir on his ink-staind
elbows on the .dice of his case, crtafed ab
sently at the ert&m painted above the door
whers Industrious spiders were persistently
tryinpr to obscure the words. "Perkins the
Printer." In the Ions; lane of the village
street everything seemed to drowse, the don?,
the shadows and tho trees. On the veranda
of the City Hotel across the way, its proprietor,
fquire Burbank, fat and overfed, was asleep.
At the watering trough, in the cool shade of
the bie; elms, a wandering cow had come to
rest and appeared, like everything- else, som
nolent and there to stay until called home
with the other cows.
Hiram lounfted back to the case and laid
his stick carefully on the break between- the
upper and lower, and looked at the small sheaf
of "copy" on the hook, which, from force of
habit, he had cut Into taker.
"The forms are most full. Mr. Blinks-," he
remarked to a hupe (trey cat that appeared
from some dark corner and rubbed against his
"I can finish tomorrow. I"m right
tired." He removed his apron, reached up
on a aholf and- took down a ragged copy of
Gibbons' "Rome." and in Iws'-thau a minute
Wda absorbed in lis contents, with his bak
fitted into the hollows? of a chair that had
apparently done much service, and his feet
perched on thf edge of a table which was
littered with exchanges and unanswered let
term. "I can llni.sh tomorrow." Such a sen
tence doscrihoH Hiram Perkins' life. Ho
had a wife, Portia, and two daughters,
Mary Jane, a baby In arms, and Lucille,
a podgy little Kirl at school. Mrs. Per
kins, a -Kood-looklnir woman, was forced
to do lots of work in her husband's prints
inr office, to make ends meet, and when
he suddenly' doparted for Oliicaso. where
he was billed as one of the speakers at a
meeting- of the typographical union, she
. got out the paper and managed the busi
ness generally far better than her hus
hand could have done. At Chicago JTlram
turned out to be such an orator that he
was sent to speak at meetings of typo
graphical unions at San Francisco and
Seattle, Wash. At the latter city the
printers were In doubt as to whether he
was a fool or a genius; but stricken sud
denly by a fit of "wanderlust" he sailed
by the steamer Nippon Kalsha Maru for
Japan.
Meanwhile, Mrs. Perkins did not know
that her wandering lord and master had
gone to the Orient, and he ceased writing.
So ho was marked down in the home
folks' memories as among the lost. To
silence gossips' tongues and make a new
start, Mrs. Perkins traded her newspaper
in Medairyville for another newspaper,
the Clarion, published at IJtchneld, a
town 60 miles distant, on the advice
largely of Squire "SI" Burbank, and went
to live there. Years pass, but Mrs, Per
kins refuses to apply for a divorce and
marry again, because she can never for
set that "Perkins is the father of Lu
cille and Marj' Jane." One of Mrs. Per
kins' admirers at this time la Home Pres
ton, lawyer.
Then, Perkins returns after 11 years'
absence looking Uko a dirty tramp. "His
sparse hair was uncombed, his face was
covered with a week's growth of beard,
wnd a handkerchief waa knotted around
his brown . throat." He has exactly 15
cents In money, and in his speech shows
a polished sarcasm that Is at variance
with his unkempt appearance. He has
been over nearly all the world, has fought
as a soldier in the Kfryptian Soudan, and
has been artist. Bailor, fisherman, loung
er. But what is he to do now? He llnria
that home Is a place where folks tell tho
truth to each other.
Mrs. Perkins refuses to accept lilm as
her husband, but offers him a position as
cook until he can obtain-something bet
ter. Perkins engages us Nabal, tho cook,
in his wife's homo at J10 per month, board
and lodging thrown in, and Thursday af
ternoon off." He proves to be an admir
able cook, but conceals his identity, and
is accepted as chum by Mary Jane, his
younger daughter. She Hkes him and
can't toll why. His other daughter, Lu
cille, at first holds .aloof, but she, too,
displays a curious liking for the unknown
-onk. Mrs. Perkins is mystified at the
nnco idle "no 'count" Hiram who is now
the polished, sarcastic, hard-working,
home-loving Nabal, the cook. Meanwhile,
Mr. Preston beseeches her to apply for a
divorce and marry him. Is she really as
a nary as she says she is at her husband,
and does she love him or Mr. Preston?
As tho weeks go on, Nabal, the cook,
decides that his wife really loves Mr.
Preston, and tliat he, Nabal. had better
ko. But the strong love that has already
' developed between Mnry Jane and him
self, makes him pause. Here is where
tlif! strongest emotional writing Is shown.
In reality. Nabal is a great author, and
has $W.(M in. liis possession. He makes
delicious cream puffs for Mary Jane, and
corrects for Lucille her Latin and alge
lir.i. ,
Which Is it to be for the wife without
a husband, Nabal the cook or Mr. Pres
ton? -The author solves tho difficulty In
unexpected fashion, and with unmistak
able good sense. It wouldn't be fair to
say more.
Diplomatic Memoirs. "By John W. Foster.
Illustrated. Prrce, 6. Houghton. Mifflin
vmpany, Hostcn, Mass., and the J. K.
Gill Company, Portland.
In these two closely-printed volumes
We get a mass of luminous information
concerning the political life, of not only
our own country but that of Mexico and
of the Orient, revelation of politics writ
ten by one behind the scenes, the keeper
of great state secrets, one who helped to
make history. For tho author of these
volumes is he who succeeded James G.
Elaine as Secretary of State, was the
acent of the I'nlted States In the Behring
Sa arbitration of IS93. at Paris; legal
adviser to the Japanese government in
the peace negotiations with Japan in
V95: member of the Anglo-American
Joint High Commission on the disputes
with Canada. In 1S9S; on the commis

boundary in 1903; and representative of
China in The Hague Peace Conference of
197. Such views of men and measures
are given that one's knowledge of
world history is considerably broadened,
after reading these pages and meeting
with historical and political data not
usually found in ordinary memoirs or
histories of our generation.
Mr. Foster's political life seems to have
begun in an executive capacity in 1872
as chairman of the Indiana Republican
State Committee, at a time wben the po
litical future of President Grant was in
the balance. Oliver P. Morton was then
the Republican leader of Indiana and a
candidate for re-election to the Senate of
the United States. Accordingly, when
Indiana went Republican, both Mr. Mor
ton and President Grant were grateful to
Mr. Foster for his labors, and Mr. Mor
ton intimated to the young politician
that the latter could have any of the
Federal offlceB of the United States.
It is related that Mr. Foster chose the
appointment as Minister to Switzerland,
'but It turned out that President Grant
had already promised that the person
then occupying the office should be al
lowed to serve during the coming term.
But would Mr. Foster take the Mexican
mission? Yes. Just then John A. Bing
ham, of Ohio, who had been offered the
position as Minister to Japan, asked if
Mr. Foster would change places with him
and o to Japan in his place. It was
clearly a call of the Orient, a region
where many years of Mr. Foster's life
were to be spent ultimately, but he
did not know this at the time. Mr. Fos
ter had a distinguished Army record in
tho Civil War and had a personal ac
quaintance with Generals Grant, Sher
man. Thomas. Burnside and other de
partment and corps 'commanders.
Mr. Foster now stands for the estab
lishment of a regular career for the
diplomatic service of the United States,
and thinks that all Secretaries of Lega
tion should enter the service through
competitive examinations: that they. con
tinue in office during good 'behavior, and
if they should prove worthy, to be pro
moted to be Ministers. He grew to shun
the idea of the political spoils for the
spoilsmen. In Mexico Mr. Foster quickly
learned Spanish and says that in a short
time he was able, without the, aid of a
secretary, to carry on in Spanish con
versations at the foreign ofliee. This
seems to be one of the chief factors of
this ctreat diplomat's success in foreign
eountries adapting himself to the cus
toms and language of those countries.
With such a mine of historical knowl
edge before one It is ' not possible to
copy even a part of the many anecdotes
and historical occurrences given, con
cerning the world's great ones. It. Is
slgnilleant, though, that the most val
uable and frank chapters are those de
voted to international law. and the di
plomacy of China and Japan, in which
latter capacity our- author was quite an
important ftetire in his capacity as con
fidential adviser. His picture of LI Hung
Chang Is impressively luminous and he
seems to lobk back with most pleasure
so far as the Orient is concerned to his
work In framing the peace negotiations
at Shlmonosekl between Japan and China.
As for American Presidents, Mr. Foster
thinks that few of them none since Lin
coln have equalled Mr. Harrison in In
tellectual attainments. It Is observed
that Mr. Foster's reference to President
Roosevelt Is of the slightest.
Sonnets of a College Kid., by Rex Ham.
Illustrated. 6(1 cents. The New West
Publishing Company, and the J. K. Gill
Company. Portland.
Eight sonnets. In smart and amusing
slang, reflecting college life and ap
parently written In Imitation of the
much admired "Love Sonnets of a
Hoodlum." "Rex. Ham" Is the nom de
plume of a graduate of the Tjnlverslty
of Oregon, and when you ask hit real
name, echo answers, "W-h-a-at?" The
clever illustrations In color, and In
which the college men are nearly al
ways represented wearing- enormously
wide pants, and smoking tobacco from
bulldog pipes, are done by H..W. Arm
strong, a graduate of the University
of Minnesota. The poetry pictures the
ways of a college freshman who wooed
a fair one in vain, and then went the
pace. An atmosphere of fun pervades
the little book, which is destined as
an attraction for the Christmas sea
son. The Power of Speech. By Kdwin Gordon
Lawrence. Price. $1.25. Hinds. Noble &
Eldridgre, New Tork City.
Mr. Lawrence has had 30 years' ex
perience In elocution work on the plat
form and stage, and In the classroom.
He is the son of the late Professor
Philip Lawrence, one of the pioneer
teachese of oratory and dramatic art in
this country, a man who in 1S69 founded
the Lawrence School, from which have
graduated such well-known actors as
Adelaide Neilson. Margaret Mather,
Edith Kingdon,' etc.
This book, extending to 2-10 pages, Is
emphatically of service, not only to the
aspiring student, but to the lawyer,
actor, clergyman or teacher striving as
it does and sueeeding in creating spirit
uality and mastering the voico through
the intellect, not the body. Such sub
jects are discussed as breath, whisper,
voice, speech, pitch of voice and form
of breathing, spoken word, rules of ex
pression, inflection, reading, oratory, act
ing, gesture, etc.
In the concrete, the tiook displays com
mon sense, practicability and safety.
Vocal defects are also sought to be rem
edied. The titory of Dutch Painting. By Charles
H. Caffin. Illustrated. Price. The
Century company. Now Tork City, and the
J. K. Gill Company. Portland.
With 25 reproductions of notable Dutch
canvases, this book is a notable and
significant contribution of artistic worth,
telling what the principal Dutch artists
accomplished in portraiture, landscape
and in the representation of indoor and
outdoor life of the people. Mr. Caftln
thinks that the modern world dates
from the 17th century, that its pioneers
were the Hollanders of that period and
to this day that Van Loo, Boucher and
Fragonard have no place with other
masters in. the hearts of the people
they are sti.il the favorites of fashion
Especially interesting are the chapters
on "The Old Order Changes," "Frans
Hals," "Rembrandt'Harmensz Van Rijn,"
"Dutch Genre." "Biblical Subjects and
Portraiture," "Landscape" and "Jacob
Van Ruisdael." One of the chief charms
of the book is that It is written in sim
ple, well-chosen language that even a
layman can understand, and is a gold
mine of valuable suggestion to a young
artist.
Heart Songs. The Chappie Publishing Com
pany. Boston. Mass.
Sometime ago the National Magazine; of
Boston. Mass.. of which publication Joe
Mitchell Chappie is the esteemed editor,
asked through its columns for contribu
tions of heart songs of the people, and
about 20.000 correspondents sent copies of
their favorite songs, several writers men
tioning w-hy the songs they had selected
had been interwoven with their lives. It
must have been difficult to choose from
such a popular selection, but here is the
result over 400 songs mostly American
set to music In the staff notation, and the
book extends to 513 pages. It Is quite a
notable collection of old and new songs,
many of which are nearly forgotten and
hardly to be found anywhere else- Some
old South and ' minstrel songs are
observed, but the home songs printed are
the best.

Make this a day. There is no gain
In brooding over days to come;
The message of today is plain,
The future's lips are ever dumb.
The work of yesterday is gone
For good or ill, let come what may;
But now we face another dawn
Make this a day.
Though yesterday we failed to see
The urging hand and earnest face
That men call Opportunity;
We failed to know the time or place
For some great deed, what need to fret?
The dawn comes up a silver gray,
. And golden moments must be met.
Make this a day.
This' day is yours; your work is yours;
The odds are not who pays your hire.
The thing accomplished that endures,
If it be what the days require.
He who takes up his daily round.
As one new armored for the fray,
Tomorrow steps on solid ground.
Make this a day.
The day is this; the time is now;
No better hour was ever here
Who waits upon the when and how
Remains forever in the rear.
Though yesterday were wasted stuff.
Your feet may still seek out the way.
Tomorrow is not soon enough
Make this a day.

All they who walk In joy or in despair
The ways of life, through shadow and
through tight.
Ask for soma boon, some guerdon, some de
light. To crown their living. Tempted by the glare
Some seek but gold; for fame some greatly
dare;
WMie nobly others toil to help the right.
To strengthen truth, to Rain a liner height
Of wisdom. But to me this seems most fair
And .bove all lifn'H gifts 1 would choose
this:
That ne with love's deep voice should turn -and
ray.
When night drew down and it was tiro to
rest ;
'6wet, you ha-v helped me." bendlrur down
to kiss
My clinging hands. 'sj.nrt bat for you the way
Would have been barren you have made It i
.blest." Hildegard Hawthorns J
