Miss Gale lives In a boarding-house.

Seven years ago, or so, Mrs. Purdy
I was a resident of this city, and Is espe
cially remembered by friends who knew
her as attending Calvary Presbyterian
Church. Mrs. Purdy lived a quiet life
in this city, and was not then publicly
known as a literary woman she was

and mechanically bound in boards, with
pictured inlay, square linen back, and

flects honor on its author and the hiRh
class Pacific Coast publishing house is
suing it, but on the fair city whose
name It bears. The illustrations are
more than 200 in number and so artis
tic and finely finished that they deserve
to be framed and kept as souvenirs in
one's favorite restroom if the reader
possesses such a luxury. Wisely has
Mrs. Purdy made her selections of the
scenes to be pictured; glimpses of the
city's street, ocean frontage, public
buildings, hills, mountains, churches,
etc., as these can be seen today. Other
pictures that suggest that glorious San
Francisco that tourists loved prior to
the fire and earth Iremor of April 18,
190S. live again In remembrance and re
ceive fitting recognition and mention.
"Many San Franciscans, like residents
of other cities, are so absorbed in their
own daily life that they see and know
only the streets and buildings between
their offices and homes." writes Mrs.
Purdy. "To the residents of the Sunset
district, the Latin quarter may be an
unknown region; to those who live in
the Mieslon, Telegraph Hill may be sim
ply a rise of ground seen down the vis
ta of Kearney street: to those who daily
see that incomparable panorama of the

been printed, mainly catalogues and

In the wish to present an outline of a
story of. absorbing Interest, to record
some things already almost forgotten
and to suggest places of Interest to the
visitor, this book is offered, it does not
pretend to be exhaustive, and touches
upon only the most prominent of the
city s characteristics. San trancisco. as
it was. reproduced visually is peculiar
history. It had an individuality as pro
nounced as Boston or Philadelphia, and
more vivid than New York. Therefore
Us history is given in brief, for one

knnvinff its unmatched story: and in
addition, bits of history and biography
have been introduced whenever tney
seem Illuminative and naturally to be
long. For the historic part, Theodore
Hlttel'a monumental history of Califor
nia. John F. Hittel's excellent history
of San Francisco, and Soule's Annals of
San Francisco have been searched, and
these have been supplemented by many
diaries of memories of the men of early

The pages are 221 and the list of con
tents are: From early days; physical
characteristics: Ferry building and

To sura up: The book Is the most ar
tistic and best written yet issued on San
Francisco, up to the present time, and
fills every need for the inquiring tour

side of it, as if It had been issued from
the very best of the big Eastern pub

IMdy-Long-Legs, by Jan Webster. Sl Il
lustrated. Ths Century Co., New York
City.
Jerusha Abbott Is the name of this
orphan-asylum heroine, and out of the
novel she comes as a most original,
delightful specimen of girlhood, one so
charming that long after the pages are
closed, she lives again in the reader's
imagination as a good girl-angel of the
healthy sort.
Jerusha pet name Judy Is a 17-year-old
Inmate of the JohnGrier
Home, and because she wrote an essay
entitled "Blue Wednesday." one of the
trustees was so struck with it, that he
determined to give Judy a college edu
cation. He stipulated that his identity
should not become known; that he
should be addressed as John Smith;
that he -would give Judy an allowance
of $35 per month, and that he would
expect her to send a monthly letter, ad
dressed to his secretary, giving an ac
count of her educational progress.
These letters written by Judy, the waif,
make up the principal portion of the
novel; and as she had caught a gHmpse
of a long-legged man on. the eventful
morning on which she received news
of her college career, she concludes that
her unknown benefactor is long-legged.
Accordingly, she writes her first letter
tc "Dear klnd-Trustee-Who-Sends-Or-phans-To-College."
her subsequent let
ters being addressed to "Dear Daddy-Long-Legs."
There is a quaintness, a
freshness (not a flippancy) about these
letters that one can't very well describe
In cold print, unless one were to quote
liberally from the letters. -
Judy is no fairy princess in disguise,
or Is she the lost daughter of some rich
man. but she is American, and how she
comes into. her own, and who her bene-
:
factor, John Smith, really is, is like a
fairy tale. It has been a delightful
experience for a hardened reviewer to
read every page of this book every
word of it.
A Montemorl Mother, toy Mrs. Dorothy Can-
field Klsher. 1.3. Illustrated. Henry
Holt & Co.. New York City.
In these .240 " pages, with 20 fine
illustrations, we meet with an intelli
gent and instructive account of the
visit of an educated American mother
to Dr. Montessori's schools at Rome,
Italy, for children. It is not too much
to say that these schools are attract
ing attention from all over the woria,
schools where little scholars, from
3 to 6 years old, are making such
astonishing progress that we in Amer
ica can but gasp and ask, "How can
such things be?
The book can be commended to the
attention of parents and . teachers of
little children. The author states
specifically, that she writes as an ordi
nary American parent, desiring above
all else the best possible chance for
her children, and that the message she
gives is addressed to the innumerable
legions of her companions in that de
sire. There can be no mistake about
what our author did; she went to
Rome, patiently studied the Montes-
gori schools and the children and
teaching in them, and then in this book
tells all about the new system of child
training, and how It can be adapted to
American uses. The task Is done with
clearness of vision and loving sympa
thy. A typical Montessori maxim is:
"All growth must come from a volun
tary action of the child himself," with
the words "voluntary and "himself"
in small capitals.
The Americans in Panama, by William R.
Scott. Illustrated. The Statler Publish
ing Co., New York City.
"In the five months the author spent
in Panama, he was for slightly more
than three months an employe of the
Isthmian Canal Commission, living the
routine life of a canal employe,'
writes Mr. Scott. "He discovered that,
had he followed tne usual method of
coming Into the Canal Zone on one
steamer, taking ntes, and leaving on
the next steamer, he would have missed
many fundamental facts, which abso
lutely must be known if a really
trustworthy account of the greatest
task of the age is desired."
Such a frank explanation at the out
set prepares the reader for the graphic
treat that follows, free from technical
terms, and presented on a popular
basis. The scope of the book is limited
to the Isthmus of Panama, covering a
period of sOO years. The pages are
268. Mr. fccott thinks that in declin
ing to make reparation to Colombia,
we are violating the essential ethics
of Americanism, and he blames covet
ous American capitalists eager after
the dollar for stirring up too many
conflicts in South American republics.
He pleads for the observance of a
friendly policy toward Japan.

MAN PERSECUTED BY DIAZ MAY BE
MEXICO'S MINISTER AT WASHINGTON
Heriberto Barren Becomes Prominent After Madero Gains Presidency Manuel Calero, Present Representative
to United States May' Be Presidential Candidate Against Incnmbent
!wwftw ; ,
NEW. YORK. Nov. 9. (Special.)
The Socialist Mayor, of Schenec
tady, the Rev. George R. Lunn,
who was arrested twice in Little Falls,
N. Y., recently, was warmly greeted by
several thousands of the people of Lit
tle Falls when. he spoke to them crit
icising the police and lotal authorities
and, gloating over his victory for. free
speech. The Socialists do not blame
the police personally for their arrests
of the speakers, but criticise the' own
ers of the mills in which the strike . is
now on.
The trouble arose because Mr. Lunn
insisted upon speaking to the strikers
in public parks, although the local au
thorities had forbidden crowds to
gather in these parks. Mrs. Lunn also
addressed the strikers, but was stopped
after a time by the police, but was not
arrested. The speakers yesterday ex
pressed sympathy with the strikers and
told them to stand firm and empty the
big mills. The Socialists from
Schenectady, whose examination is
scheduled to come up tomorrow, hinted
that if the charges against them were
dropped itheie would be no damage
suits against the police.
It is reported that Heriberto Barron
is to succeed Manuel Calero as Minister
to the United States from Mexico. It
is said that Calero will run as a candi
date for President of Mexico against
Diaz. At that time he was a member
of the Mexican Congress and owned
two newspapers. He was driven out
of Mexico by Diaz, his papers sur
prcssed and his business ruined. Since
Madero has been President Mr. Barron
has become prominent in Mexico, and
now it is announced that he will go to
Washington as the representative of
the Madero government.

the young woman, looking out from a
window, saw a man with whom she had
an old quarrel; and began chaffing him.
Exasperated by her acid tongue, the
man shouted: "Come down into the
street if you are not a coward!'' The
girl, nothing loth, flew downstairs and
fell upon her foe, who, a moment later
lay dying in the gutter with his throat
cut by a kitchen knife.
