Mb Sides of the Shield, by Major Archi
bald W. Butt. U J. B. Llpplncott Co,
Philadelphia.
Durloc ths lifetime of Major Butt
er, as he was affectionately called.
"Archie" Butt stories about blm float
ed from Washington, D. C, and other
Eastern points, stories In which bad
men Inspired by envy, hatred and
jealousy spoke of Major Butt as "sis
sy," and "fop."
Ah! now that he Is drowned In the
depths of the Atlantle Ocean, where he
and other heroes gave up their lives' so
that women and children might find
seats In the lifeboats at the time of the
Titanic disaster, how much would those
malieners give to recall their cruel
words about him. "Archie" Butt was
the bravest of the brave.
Now, here comes a reprint of the late
Major Butt's moat admired novel. "Both
Sides of the Shield." a story that Is .as
sweet as a nut. Is uplifting; In Its dig'
nity and simple pathos, and ought to be
received as an American atery-classlc.
Its interest Is so strong that when once
started, one must read It to the close.
J' Its greatest charm la Its perfect nat
uralness.
Howard Palmer, educated at Harvard
University, rich, a newspaper reporter
in Boston, gets an assignment from his
managing editor to srn South and write
a series of letters on the educational
and social conditions existing in that
section. As the train entered the pine
belt of Georgia (the late author's native
state). Palmer noticed that he was tn
a section rich in memories of the past
and peopled mostly by remnants of the
old Colonial and ante-bellum families.
One of Palmers' fellow-passengers was
Colonel Turpin. who, on finding that
Palmer was going to Otcletnorpe. in
vited him to visit the Turpin mansion,
The Pines. - Colonel Turpin asked Palm
er If he was any relation to the Palm
ers of Kentucky, and Palmer, in a care
less sort of tone, said he guessed there
was some kinship. Immediately, Colo
nel Turpin said he was Intimately ac
quainted with 'the family referred to.
and took Howard rainier to nis heart
and home. In the Turpin household
are Mrs.. Turpin, Miss Ellen Turpin, an
aristocratic girl, who does all the house
work for the family, and Bud other
wise Howell Oobb-Turpin, wno works
in the fields, plowing and planting cot
ton. The Tnrplns were ruined in prop
erty during the Civil War period, and
the holme, once a beautiful Colonial
mansion. Is about to fall to pieces, IP
many places. The Turpin family is fine
ly sketched. In love of family name,
honor, pride and statellness.
Palmer and Miss Ellen love each oth
er, but there Is no spoken avowal. Palm
er writes letters to the Boston news
paper where he is employed, and In one
of these letters he foolishly writes up
the Turpin home, shows its poverty and
brave attempt of the Turpins to keep
up appearances on next to nothing.
Their home is mortgaged, and they have
to work hard to pay the Interest. One
nf Palmet's letters Is reprinted In a
Southern newspaper, a letter In which,
although the real names are not given,
the Turpin home, in all its faded gran
deur, is described. Ellen reads the let
ter., reproaches Palmer for his want of
feeling- In such poor return for kind
hospitality, and parts, from him . in
anger. Palmer, without "revealing, his
Identity, lifts the mortgage from the
Turpin home, to prevent the latter from
being oreclosed, and goes abroad.
The Bpahisb-Amerlcan war looms up,
and the Turpln-Palmer love story re
ceives new life and romantic fashioning.

Brilliantly written, cleverly con

France defends herself against Invasion
bv Oermanv. the story being translated
by Alexander Telxerla De Mattos. Well
has "The Frontier" already been de
scribed as presenting a pleasant Cleo
patra and a modern Mark Anthony who
was compelled to choose between glory
or dishonor, between peace or war. The
story has a dash of Zola about it.
Monsieur Morestal Is a veteran sold
isr who was taken prisoner by the
Germans In the War of 1870-71, and at
the opening of the story he lives in a
house built under his direction, a house
he has secretly fortified on the frontier
against attack by Germans In a war
which he thinks is sure to come wnen
France Is strong enough to fight for
Alsace-Lorraine. Hi son pnuippe is
a college professor and is a profound
advocate of peace-at-any-price in In
ternational diplomacy. Philippe and
his wife. Martha, arrive at the Mores
tal home on a visit, and Philippe fa'Js
in love with Mademoiselle Susanne
Jorance. His father happens to be in
the company of a German Army de
serter, in a location near the German-
French frontier (it is a dispute whether
the place is France or Germany) on
the same night when Philippe Is walk-
in near It with Suxanne.
The elder Morestal is arrested by the
Germans on the ground that he was
protecting a German soldier who was
deserting on German territory. France
protests that the arrest took place on
French soil, and the people of both na
tions talk war. Philippe knows that
the arrest Old not take place on rrencn
territory, hut to confess the truth
about the incident which caused his
father's arrest. would mean that
Suzanne's name be brought into
scandal. A terrible mental conflict oc-
oura. in which the two Morestais are
the chief actors. The best part of the
novel is where a description Is given of
the Morestal 'house being placed In a
position of defense against trie uerman

Stover at Yale, br Owen Johnson. Il
lustrated. $1.35. Frederick A. Stokes Co..
Xw York City.
This novel. Illustrating the new de
mocracy at Yale, has already been no
ticed, with due appreciation, in The
Oregonian, editorially and otherwise.
It Is pleasant to record that - such a
healthy, fairly free-from-slang story Is
being received with much favor by the
reading public in these latter days
when cheaper stories somehow seem to
have the call.
John Humperdink Stover, the hero
of "The Varmint." and one of the big
figures of "The Tennessee Shad." Is
shown to be a college hero of the sterl
ing sort In "Stover at Tale." He makes
many mlstskes. does foolish things like
the live young American that he is. but
he eminently Is likeable and human.
Mr. Johnson has not yielded to the
temptation to make Stover a football
hero who always won. That Is a too
common faul in Fall fiction. Just be
fore the big college games open. It Is
thrilling to read about that Tale versus
Princeton football game, when Prince
ton led by 18 to 0 In the first half. How
Stover and his cohorts kept Princeton
from scoring any more In the second
half, and actually gained ground to
ward the enemy's goal. but were
stopped Just as the time limit expired.
Is a rare experience, and is told with
uncommon skill. Miss Jean Story.
Stover's sweetheart, is an admirable
portraiture. Tap Day" Is told in let

By reading this, neat, attractive
looking little book, with its wealth of
Illustrations reflecting famous authors
and their homes, or places made fa
mous by those authors, one can easily
ret valuable insight into the gems ol
high-class English literature. Such
an instructive , book fills a long-felt
need, and will surely una an nonoreu
place. It is instructive and lniorming,
rather than coldly critical or argumen
tative. Mr. Fitch writes that his er-
fort has been to give the most charac
teristic writers a place and to try to
stimulate the reader's Interest in the
man behind the book, as well as in the
best works of each author. In this en

ably, and has built a lasting literary

that to reach the camp she must spend
five hours in a stage coach, which did

"Why can't 1 walk up 7" she asked

her against the attempt, adding that It
would take the whole day. Miss Stone,
however, started afoot the next morn

she was at Camp Curry, an hour after

was a dangerous undertaking to climb.
She set out, however, and gained the
summit. The following morning she
got out or bed at S o'clock, and walked
back to Ey Portal for the morning
train. The distance was 1 ' miles, and

Disappointed and frustrated at every
turn In their efforts to secure a realiza
tion of the prospects held out to them
through .government and state chan
nels and by the company originally ex
plotting Colorado River territory, 780
enrymen of the Palo Verde and Chuck
a walla Valley district have taken the
bit into their teeth and Into their own
hands the task . of redeeming from
22S.000 to 250,000 acres of desert land.
The newly organized Chuckawalla
and Palo Verde Irrigation Association,
composed entirely of enrymen them
selves, will present to the supervisors
of Riverside country a petition signed
by 400 asking for the formation of an
Irrlgalton district. - This done, the as
sociation. which Includes aborit 300 Los
Angeles Investors and more than as
many more from elsewhere in Southern
California, will bond itsejf for approxi
matelV $6,760,000. Volunteer subscrip
tions for over. $1,000,000 have already
been secured. : With the proceeds of
the bond sales a main jJUmplng plant
will be built on the banks of the Colo
rado River, as a, -center of a system
of distributing canals and laterals to
carry water to 220,000 acres.
i Project Meets Reverses.'
" The project Is the : outcome of
series of reverses. The original plan
under which the enries were secured
was fathered by Chuckawalla Develop
ment Company, which undertook to se
cure government aid to build a great
dam across the river at Bull's Head
Canyon and use the power generated
and carried down the river on trans
mission lines to drive a pumping sta
tion. When the matter came before
the Department of the Interior it to
the report of the Government engineers
that there was not bedrock available at
the point designated to anchor such
a dam.
Further complications were intro
duced by a complaint to the vvar ve
nartment from Mexican landholders,
setting out that the damming of the
of the river or other steps toward ir
rigation as at first contemplated would
seriously affect the navigability of the
river. The entrymen hoped to secure
a commission to hear the case, but
nothing has been done. In the interim
the four years given the entrymen by
the Government to perfect their claims
Is raDidlv xllDDlno-'away, and the set
tiers face the prospect of assuming the
entire buruen of development'- tnem

of 1190 East Main street, held
the record of belna; the marksman In
his company of - the Seventeenth Ohio
Infantry, he' declares he Is able to
more than hold his own today with
the same old a-un he had them against
tha more- sc'lentlflcally. constructed
rifles of the present day. Using; the
same tarsret the professional marks
men of Portland are using; Mr. Wilson
has upon several occasions made rec
ords with his old style Bun that rele
gates some of the high class up-to-date)
shooting; records of experts to the
rear rank.
- "It's not ' so much the a;Uh as it Is
the man,'' asserts Mr. Wilson. "I can
take my old single loader out and
shoot more accurately In almoBt any
kind of weather than the average ex
pert with a rifle fitted with every
modern sighting convenience and pro
vided with the most scientifically and
carefully of bored barrels. I held the
record of being the best shot in my
company during the Civil War. I' was
then a boy of 18 years. Fifty years
has brought about gray hairs, and an
Unsteady hand, but I'm still in . the
shooting game with my old rifle."

Mr. Wilson responded to the Urst call
for 300,000 volunteers In 1861 nd en

Ohio Infantry. ' He was With the flrst
troops to land in Kentucky after the
war broke out- "I was then a boy of
16 years." said Mr. Wilson. Our first
battle was In the Fall of '61 and was
called the battle of Wild Cat. We
thought at the time It was a pretty
bad fight, but a little experience taught
us that it was a mere scrimmage. We
found It out some time later when we
went to It In the battle of Mill Springs,
early In the next yeur. -

There were 1000 men killed altogether.
Besides winning the day we captured
1000 horses, 2000 mules and sugar, pork
and flour enough to last 15.000 men
three months.
"From the battle of Mill Springs we
went to Nashville and from there, to
Pittsburg landing, hut got there, too
late for the battle. With JOO.OOO men
under General Hftllock later besieged
the town of Corinth. Miss., and after
much . hard fighting forced the rebels

"It was there that I had an unusual
experience. I was taken 111 with ty
phoid fever and just a I was re
covering I ate a pint of pickles and
some green apples. You can guess the
rest. 1 was seised with a peculiar
trance and when I came out of It eight
hours later, I was In the morgue be
ing prepared fof burial. ' I had been
taken for dead and probably would
havo been burled a short time later If
I had not recovered. -
"I was sent home then and stayed
for two months. Returning, I Joined
my old regiment Just after the battle
of Parryville. Some time later I went
in the battle of Hoover's Gap, in which
47 men were killed In five minutes.
I was standing beside a comrade who
was shot In the head. When I saw
him fall I felt the same bullet that
killed him pass through my body, or
at least I imagined I did. I tore off
my shirt and found that I had not been
touched by the bullet.
"I was with Sherman on his march
to the sea and was at Bentonville,
N. C when the war ended. We
marched to Washington and I was
promoted to corporal, but we mustered
out before I got ' a chance to serve
in active warfare In my new capacity.
