THE SUXDA.Y OREGOMAX, PORTLAND, DECEMBER 12, 1909. Something; of Men I Have Known. By Adlsi E. Stevenson. Illustrated. Price, 12.75. A. C MeC'lurg & Co.. Chicago. 111. Speaking in tho concrete, this volume suggests the raconteur rather than the politician or statesman, one wJio was once Vice-President of the United States. The stories Mr. Stevenson tells are of the mirthful, enjoyable Quality, without a grain of wounding sarcasm in them, and on this account are a.11 the more welcome. It is such a temptation in a. nook of this sort, to "cet back" at one's enemies. But Mr. Stevenson, it is noted, stands on much higher ground. It will be recalled that his political service ex tends from 1ST, when he first entered Consxess. until 1S97. Really, his wealth of stories seems to be inexhaustible, and 1 tells just the kind necessary to enable us to gain a more intimate view of the historical aspect of our country, 'so far as National lenders are concerned, during Thei years referred to. Take, for tnstanee. this view of Lucius Q. Uraar, of Mississippi, one of the shininsr lisrhts of Congress In the '70s. the occasion for Illustration being when La mar attended a banquet and bPan to eat before the "'Rrace before meat" was spoken: At the plate or each guest a large to mato was In readiness and. excellent In itself, was, moreover, the earnest of better things to come. Immediately upon being seated. Mr. Ijtmar "fell to" and, wholly oblivious of the surroundings, soon made way with the one viand then in visible pres ence.. Just ns the last vestige disappeared. The president of the college arose and. with :x solemnity eminently .befitting; ithe occa sion, called icon Doctor Bullock to offer thanks. Deeply chagrined. Mr. Lamar was an attentive listener to the impressive in vocation which Immediately followed. At its conclusion, with troubled countenance, he turned to Knott and said. "I am humiliated at my conduct. I should have remembered that Presbyterians always say grace before meals, but I was very hungry and exhausted and the tomato very tempting: I have really disa-raced myself." To which Knott replied. "You ought not to feel so. Mr. Justice: that 'blessing; of loctor Bullock's was brosd and general; In large measure retrospective, as welh as prospective. it reminds me of a little Incident that occurred on the 'Roll Inr Fork.' An old-time deacon down there was noted for the lengthy blessing which at hta table was the unfailing prelude to every meal. ... Hi hired man. Bill Taylor, an unconverted and Impatient youth, had fallen Into the evil habit of commencing his meal before the blessing thereon had been fully Invoked. The frown and rebuke of the good deacon were alike unavailing in effecting the desired reform. Righteously indlgnsnt thereat, the deacon, in a spirit possibly not the most devout, at length gave utterance to this petition. 'For what we are. about to receive, and for what Wil liam Taylqr has already received, accept our thanks, O Lord:'" Read this jgravely humorous word pic ture of the brilliant Senator Blackburn. HI A.CntUCK. Thirty year and more ago. when first a candidate for Congress. Mr. Blackburn at tended a public execution In common par lance "a hanging" In one of the counties of his district. Being a gentleman of great distinction, and a candidate for Congress, he waa appropriately Invited by the sheriff to occupy a seat with the prisoner and his spiritual adviser upon the gallows. At the near approach of the fatal hour, tho sheriff, with watch In hand, amid the sea of up turned faces, stated to the prisoner that he i had yet five minutes to live, and It was hla privilege, if he so desired, to address the audience. The prisoner meekly replied that he did not wish to speak. Whereupon Mr. Blackburn, stepping promptly to the front of the scafford. said: "As the gentleman doea not wish to speak, if he will kindlv yield me his time, i will take this occa sion to remark that I am a candidate for congress, regularly nominated bv the Dem ocratic convention." etc. This incident be ing told in the presence of Mr. Marshall, the opposing candidate, the latter remarked that he remembered It well, and could vouch for Its truth. He then1 added that when I Mr. Blackburn proposed to speak out the prisoner's time, the latter turned to the sheriff and inquired who that was. To which the officer replied. "Captain Black burn." At this the prisoner, who had amid all the exciting scenes of his arrest and trial, and even up to the present moment. ""n m" open eorrin beside him, dlsplaved marvelous fortitude. suddenly exhibiting deep emotion, piteously exclaimed, "please hang me first, and let him speak after wards:" A closing; story relating the ready wit of J. Proctor Knott, once Governor of Kentucky: When In Joint canvass with his competitor for the Governorship of his state. Mr. Knott, having, by appointment, at one of the county seats in "the Purchase." made the opening speech, was seated .near by to listen to that of the opposing candidate. The latter, a gentleman having a high sense "of propriety and dignity of bearing that would have done no discredit to an assembly of divines, had been exceedingly annoved by Knotfa speech, which had in very" truth kept the -audience In an uproar during Its entire delivery. Beginning his reply, he said: "Fellow-citizens. I will endeavor to Indi cate to you the kind of a man. who. in mv judgment, should he elected to the position nf Governor of this grand old common wealth. In the first place, that exalted po sition should never be tilled by one. who. for lack of serious argument, constantlv appeals 10 the risibilities of his audience; "never bv a wit, a mere joker, a atory-teller; in other words if you will pardon me. my fellow-c-ltisens by a mere buffoon. On the con trary, the Incumbent of the exalted position of chief executive of this grand old com monwealth should he a gentleman of char acter, of ability, the worthy successor of Shelby, of Mrehead. of Crittenden: he should be a gentleman of scholastic attain ments and of dignified bearing, well versed In classic lore, and a thorough student of the higher order of statecraft. Tn a word, fellow-citizens, yeu should elect as your (Kirtrnor a gentleman of lofty character, of ripe scholarship, of commanding dignitv of exalted statesmanship, of At this point. Knott, interrupting, said. In manner and tone the exact counterpart of the speaker. "Pardon me. Colonel Smith, but T am too modest a man to llaten longer to the beautiful and truthful description you have just given of me." Trtx and Over -t he-Moon, by Amelle Rives Illustrated. Harper Bros., New Tork City and the J. K. Gill Co.. Portland. This distinguished novelist. ' who is known in private life as Princess Trou betskoy. lias won literary fame and dol lars as the author of stories brimming over with erotic love, stories which, alas! must, by the trifling- nature of them live only for the moment. Critics who realized that Amelie Rives, a native of Virginia and American as any of us are, had talent worthy of better Ideals, said to wait. In the years that have come since "The Quick or the Dead" and "According to St. John." a cleam of pure Hold has been evolved. "Trtx and Over-the-Moon." which, by' the charm of Jta originality and naturalness, will be accepted as a leading story of the year, because Its hero Is a bad horse, a devil on four legs. "Trix and Over-the-Moon' la also distinguished hy the ability Its au thor baa shown in her clever mastery of Scotch and negro dialects. The present reviewer, a native of Scotland, can cer tify as to the correctness of Amelie Rives' Scotch. Trlx Is Mrs. Sidney Nelson Bruce, her maiden name "having; been Beatrice Mansha.ll. and she is describes as a born lover and judge of horses, but a. headstrong young woman and, proud of being self-willed. So much of a swelled head had she that if the thought had pre sented itseir to her, to be original, she ought to bump her has J against a stone wall, she would undoubtedly have done so. Just to be odd, and have her own way. The locale of the novel is in one of the Southern States and Trlx and' the man she. afterward married fell in love with each other during a Spring week at the VTniversity or Virginia. He had fallen tn love with her because she reminded him so vlvitlly of the equestrian statue of Jeanne d'Arc near the Iuvre. in Paris, a statue of which he had for a long time been enamored. She had "alien In love with his love of her." with ET US BE OF MEMBERING THAT THE. MISFORTUNES HARDEST TO BEVR NEVER .COME ; - T" T" C I ' i Vy jl i 1 1 i ' f is 7-0? o- v "GREEN GINGER" his splendid figure and hie growing repu tation as a novelist. As a chief object in life Trix placed horses, and she main tained that there is a genius for horses, just as there Is for music, poetry or painting. Her husband only cared a very little for horses. Ho could "stick on" a horse, but of riding as a fine art he cared less, and he cared least, of all 'for his farm of Oldwood. which he had In herited from his parents. v On the contrary. Trix was a born farm er and the entire management of the farm devolved on her. There wasn't much ! sympathy between this oddly-assorted couple. She openly mocked his efforts to write stories and said that he had no style of his own. but borrowed styles from other authors. The Bruces, at the opening of this story, had one son. Tim,. 7 years old, and Tim didn't like horses, but had a weakness for mechanics. Two really important personages of the Bruce household were Mr. Bruce's old nurse. Mrs. Alison Stark. an elderly Scotch person from Dumfries shire. Scotland, and Mammy Henny. col ored, Mrs. Bruce's old nurse. Mrs. Stark and Mammy Henny were fighting con tinually, as they were jealous of each other's authority, and here much of the" comedy of the story comes in. These two opposite characters will surely , live, so boldly drawn and true to life are they. After all. the real character of the book 1s the roan horsei Over-the-Moon. and on pages 8 and 29 he is described as a sin gularly beautiful animal, but it seemed as If he regarded life as a holiday, squar ing Tils red nostrils anl looking for out Into the wide air with an eye that quiv ered with' brilliant majiee In its great socket." The) first time Trlx saw this roan colt she was told that he was a vicious beast, one that would work her harm. Self-willed, however, she bought him for D00. with a consideration for the first prize cup he won. "When she tried to mount him he squealed like a stallion and tried to throw ,her off. Against her husband's wish, she trained Over-the-Moon for his appearance at a forthcom ing horse show. Mrs. Stark, the Scotch nurse, thinks that little Tim would lie all the better of correction with a rod. and she argues thus: No dlscipleening whatever has he had. pulr bairn. Aye rinnin' abool hither an' you like a fey thing, an' warplin' an wrest lin' wl' a' the bit blacks on the place. 'Tis no brlngin up for a gentleman's son . matr's the peety. But Gude kens we suld r.e thankful he vrasna born wl' a mane doon his backbane. an' a dockit tail to hta pulr bit hwrdies. 'Tis i-.ae wonder forbye that sae mony horse-gowana blaw f th" fields hereaboats. Horses first and Chrees tlana second. -Tis that auld be writ ower the noose door. Mammy' Henny objected 'to' Mrs. Stark calling her a "black lady," and retorted that Moses had a black wife. She based her assumption of that fact from the statement contained in Numbers, chapter 12 and verse 1: "And Miriam and Aaron spake against moses because of the "Ethiopian women whom he had married: for he had married an Ethiopian woman." Mrs. Stark or Nurse A lie. as she is known in the household is described as a woman of petulant temper; a tyrant in her way. but willing to aacrlflce her life if need be to save the family she loved, the Bruces. from harm. She became possessed of the idea that if young Mrs. Bruce continued to ride Over-the-Moon, she would be thrown and. killed, at the approaching horse show. "Nurse Alie has a curious power over animals and she plans, deliberately, to win the devil horse's friendship. To save her mistress, she implores the- latter, with tears, to give up Over-the-Moon. but here Mrs. Bruce's obstinacy comes- into play and, like a spoiled child, she says. "No." It is then that the old nurss determines on what may seem a terrible sacrifice, and this scene Is described with emo tional art. so true to life that it brings the moisture to one's eyes at least if the reader be a lover of animals.

"Political Issues and Ont looks, bv President" Taft. f 1.25. Vouhleday, Page Co., New Y ork City, and The J. K. GUI Co.. Port land. Manifestly this is not a book for ex tended review, and the present oppor tunity is rather seized just to present to the notice of the intelligent reader of today an unusually vigorous pres entation by the . President or the GOOD CHEER. RE ARE TH05E WHICH United States of American lile and political ideals of today. The book ex tends to 2,19 pages, and consists of the chief addresses made throughout the country by Mr. Taft. In the period be tween his nominartion and inaugura tion from August. 198, to February, 1909. These addresses have already been commented upon by the American newspapers and public, and therefore any comment is needless at this time. Suffice it to say that tlie book will prove a valued and safe Christmas gift to any young man just beginning to catch the meaning of active citizenship. The Demagogue. By William Richard Here ford. Henrv Holt & Co.. New York City and The J. K. alii Co., Portland. v Gifted with large vision and teaching the doctrine that punishment follows crime as surely as day sinks into night, this is really a great novel depicting American politics and newspaper life. 'The "Demagogue" dominates over dozens of current novels, just as gold cheapens dross. The tale is the work pf a new writer, and - long may his courageous colors wave. The demagogue who is the hero of the story is David Holman. editor and pro prietor of the New York Epoch news paper and also the owner of 31 other newspapers In 22 American cities. His fortune is estimated at $100,000,000 and the story principally concerns his campaign to win the nomination for the Presidency of the United States. His portrait in part may to some suggest that of "William Randolph Hearst, and his newspaper, the Kpoch, the New York American. T'.ie Epoch espouses the cause of the "peepul" and pure democracy, and some of the headlines of its editorials are: "Pred atory Plutocrafy." "The Plundered Peo ple," "Rights of the Many," "Government by the Favored Few," "Unequal Oppor tunities." etc. Mr. Holman's chief editorial writer is Kernald. who bears a strange resem blance to a certain Mr. Brisbane. Holman buys the political support in a battle to get votes of delegates in the approaching National convention of "Boss" Jerry McQuade. of New York, for $1,000,000. Holman is a man with a past, and he treated one Zaidee Gonzales, a SpanlsVi Mexican young woman, with great cruel ty, and sought to cast oft her and their little boy. At the same time. Holman is in love with "Miss Harriet Stowers. a New York society girl. Interest grows Intense when the author describes the big political convention scene In New York City, and so skilfully are the elements grouped together that a theater play is recalled. Holman's rival for the nomination is Abner J. Heyward. of Ohio, and there is mention on page 348 of a "Washington state delegation. A great surprise awaits the reader in perusing an account of the convention referred to. Elsfe and the ArkanMw Bear, by Albert Bigelow Paine. Illustrated. $1. Heniy Altemus Co.. Philadelphia, Pa. "The Arkansaw Bear" was . one of the" greatest successes among children's books of a decade and here's its suc cessor. Orphan Elsie meets the fiddling bear of which she has heard, .and the couple have many amusing adventures together in magic land. The story is veryxwel! told, in prose and verse, for young children, by Mr. Paine, and the illustrations are the work of Frank Ver Beck. A . pretty giftbook. Here is a sample of Mr. Paine's verse? Oh. a king and a queen In a castle' grand. They sat on a. throne and they ruled the land; , And Elsie and Horatio came wandering along. And Horatio played the nddlc. and BUie sang a song. Then the king began to wiggle and the queen began to jiggle. And the throne began to wriggle as they capered up and down; And the court was all a-danring and th horses soon were . prancing. Til they formed a great procession, and they marched through London town. . Ore Ginger." by Arthur Morrison. Fred erick A. Stokes Co., New- York City. Sixteen amusing stories of English life, with just the kind of ginger in them im plied in the title of the book. In "Tales of Mean Streets." "Cunning Murell" and "The Hole in the Wall" Mr. Morrison presented the lower, but realistic form or street life in English cities. Now he is in happier vein, and the change is refresh ing.

Some) of us never seem to learn To tKe our troubles as they come, - To meet each worry in Its turn We looK. ahead and. borrow some. Just when the rose is ruddiest We grieve because it will not stay Our hands upon the thorns are pressed To make tomorrow of today. Some people that is, you and I Hush half the laughter on their lips, i Send it a-scurry with a sight Or stale the wine another sips. By brooding on some fancied grief That may await us on the way. To his own gladness each plays thief He maKes tomorrow of today. 'We trade the gold of one day's Joy For dross of doubt and discontent The fine gold we dull with alloy Of baser metals, meanly blent. And yet tomorrow never shows A dawn so darh or noon so gray , As drawn by one whose borrowed woe Have made tomorrow of today. 'Tis best to thinK each day made With all the goodness i. shall hold. With all the sunshine and the shade. And some small sorrow to enfold. Then wafted from the Master's hand. Where all of the tomorrows stay But still we cannot understands We maKe tomorrow of today.

D. HERR HARDEN SCENTS PLOT Cicrman Editor Finds British In- i trigiic in Political Move. BERLIN. Dec. 11. (Special.) Ilerr Maximilian Harden, amiihilator of th "inner round table of the Kaiser." has e-onjurf? up another phantom of per fidious British intrigue. The editor of the Zukunft has discovered that "a powerful syndicate of British interests" has made stealthy plans for placing a "candidate" of their own in the Ger man Korean Seeretarj'fhlp. and Herr Harden has ascertained who it is Count John von Bernsdorff. the Ger man Ambassador at Washington. Count Bernsdorff is charged with making ardent - pro-Anprlo Saxon speeches in America at the behest of hia "British backers." Besides his British birtli and British mother. Count Bernsdorft's long residence In Knsrlanrt and Ksrypt is cited by Herr Harden as evidence of his perfidious Anglo Saxon leanings.
