Oiir Southern Highlanders, by Horace Kep
Imrt. Illustrated. $2.5t. Outing Publish
ing Co.. New York City.
Mr. Kephart felt in his heart that
he "had a call" ,to find out what sort
of folks the people were who lived
In the Appalachian Mountains. So he
went and lived among them for years.
The result of this sojourn In the re
gion referred to is this handsome, well
written, attractively-presented book,
one of the best on this subject. Indeed,
outside of fiction and stage- plays, we
are somewhat Iprnorant of reliable In
formation concerning our Southern
mountaineers.
The "fierce and uncouth races of
men" described by Poe came - like a
flood from their mountains to help win
the struKfjle for American Independ
ence, and they showed themselves for
midable riflemen. In the Civil War
they turned out 180,000 strong for the
I-'ederal side. Today the outside world
thinks of a mountain man "as a tall,
slouching figure in homespun, who
carries a rifle as he habitually does a
hat and who may tilt its muzzle to
ward a stranger before addressing
him, the form of salutation being:
"Stop that. Whut's you-unses name?
Vhar's you-uns a-goin ter? "
It is shown that these mountaineers
nre the descendants of the Scotch,
Scotch-Irish, Irish and Pennsylvania
Hutch who drove the Indians from the
Allegheny border, formed our rearguard
In the American Revolution, "followed
the mountains southward, settled West
ern Virginia and Carolina and formed
the vanguard westward Into Kentucky,
Tennessee, Missouri, and so onward till
there was no longer a West to conquer.
Home or their descendants remainea
behind the fastnesses of the Alleghen
ies, the Blue Ridge, and the Unakas,
and became. In turn, the progenitors
of that singular race which by an ab
surd pleonasm is now commonly known
ns 'the mountain whites' but properly
Southern highlanders."
The virtues and faults of such peo
ple are frankly discussed. It is shown
that, largely speaking, these moun
taineers are temperate as regards the
use of strong liquor, although they
drink whisky, often as medicine, and
in a regLan where medicine and phys
icians are not much known. The prac
tice of "moonshinlng," or illicit dis
tilling. Is shown to be a survival of
the whisky-smuggling days of their
ancestors in far-away Scotland and
Ireland. Mr. Kephart thinks that the
mountaineers would better their con
dition if they would terrace their hills
to prevent the erosion of soil and pro
cure armies of goats to clear land.
Another help would be. the emigra
tion of Swiss dairymen and others to
the Appalachian Mountains.
Mr. Kephart tells this story, show
ing the dry humor of these mountain
Americans: "Oh, shucks! Bill Cope," put in "Doc"
.Tones.. "Whut do you-uns know about wind
storms? Now, I've -hcd some expericncin"
tip hyur that'll do to tell about. You re
member the bis Btorm three years ago, coma
crass, when the cattle all huddled up a-top
o' flaoh other and friz In one pile, solid?"
Hill grunted an affirmative.
"Wal. sir. I was .a-herdln', over at the
Bpencer place, and was out on Thunderhead
when the wind sprung up. Thar come one
turribje vyg-rous blow that jast nacherally
lifted the ground. I went up in the sky,
my coat ripped off. and .1 went a-sallln'
end -over-end."
"Yes?"
"Yes. About half an hour later I lit spang
In the mud way down yander in Tuckalee
chee Cove yes, sir; ten mile as the crow
flies, mid a mile deeper"n trout-fish swim."
There was silence for a moment. Then
I'lttlo John spoke up: "I mind about that
lime. Doe; but I dleremember which bury
ln'-sround they-all planted ye in."
"Planted! Me? Huh! But I had one
tormeHitin' time flndln' my hat!"
The cabin shook under & heavier blast to
match Bill's yarn.
M"ld Wind-maker's blowln' liars out o :
North Car'llna. Hang on to yer hat. Doc! '
Whoop! hear 'em a-comln!"
One of Mr. Kephart's mountain neigh
bors said:
"Thar I've cl'ared me a patch and
ffrubbed hit out now I can raise me two
or three severe craps!"
"Then, what?" 1 asked.
"When corn won't crow no more I can
turn the lield into grass a couple o' years."
"Then you'll rotate, and crow corn
again ?"
"La. no! ify that time the land will bo
o xioor hit wouldn't raise a cuss fight."
"ut then you must move and begin all
over again. This continual moving must
be a rea: nuisance."
He rolled his quid and placidly answered,
"Huh-uh, when 1 move all I haffter do is
" put out the fire and call the dog."
One day when Mr. Kephart was
hunting in the mountains and knowing
from hard experience the unpleasant
results that may follow from wet
matches In camp, he had taken the
precaution to dip the heads of his
matches in melted paraffin, a well-
known practice among experienced
woodsmen. In the course of the hunt
he met a native, stopped to pass the
time of day and seek shelter for a
moment from the rain which was fall
lng in torrents. As they talked, Kep
"art lined nis pipe; then taking a
match from his case, dipped the head
in the water dripping from their rough
shelter, then struck it on the lry side
of the pole and calmly lighted his
pipe. The woodsman eyed him for a
moment while Kephart waited for an
exclamation of surprise or bewilder
ment; then came the slow drawl: "Say,
mister, i reckon the fellar that In
vented them matches was kicked out
of h 1, wa'n t he?"
One of the 1100,000 landowners
around Waynesville, a shrewd man, and
learned In the law, has been known to
lie down between his hogs for warmth.
The hospitality of the Blue Moun
tain folk Is mentioned In terms of en
thuslastlo praise. Until about eight
years ago Mr. Kephart was librarian
of the Mercantile Library of St. Louis,
MO.
D"he Mecca of the World, by Anne "War
wick. JL'. Illustrated. John Lane Co.,
York city.
The author of this delightful. gos
Flpy book of foreign travel and ob
eervations In Europe is said to be in
private life a daughter of Bishop Earl
Cranston, formerly of this city. Her
other books are "Compensation," "The
Unknown Woman," etc
In "The Meccas of the World" our
author writes of her European experi
ences of life in these big metropolitan
cities New York. Paris. Vienna. Mad
rid and London. The style of writing
is gay. piquant and original. The ut
most frankness is used. For instance,
in writing of Now York, our author
thus describes Americans: Physiologi
cally speaking, Americans are made up
of nerves; psychologically, they are
made up of sentiment; a volatile combl
nation fatal to steadiness or logic of
expression. We have spoken of the
everyday habit of contact anion e them
the trifling touch that passes unheeded
between young men and girls, from
childhood to maturity. This is but a
single pnase or that diffusenesB of sex
energy, which being distributed
through a variety of channels, with
the American, nowhere is very pro
found or vital. The constant comrade
ship between the two sexes, from baby
hood throughout all life, makes for
very fine things; but it does not make
for passion. And, as though dimly they
realize this, Americans both men and
women seem desperately hard on
manufacturing it. The American woman
has nothing sure. In a land where all
.things change with the sun, die and are
shoved along breathlessly for new, she
Is lost in the general confusion. To
day she is Mrs. Smith, tomorrow by
her own wish, or Mr. Smith's, or both,
" do the very best I know how the very best I can, and I
mean to keep doing so until the end. If the end brings me out
all right, what is said against me won't amount to anything. - If
the end brings me out all wrong, ten angels swearing I Was
right make no difference." Abraham Lincoln.

she is Mrs. Jones, six months later she
is Mrs. Somebody Else; and the con
versation, which includes "your chil
dren," "my children," and "our chil
dren," is not a joke on America; it is an
everyday fact for the children them
selves are a tragedy.
In the same chapter we are told that
the American wife is a highly nervous
organism, demanding nerve food in
the shape of sensation. "Emotionally,
she Is a sort of psychic vampire, al
ways a thirst for victims to her vanity;
experience from which to gain new
knowledge of herself."
Paris is viewed as a city of studied
elegance end supersensitiveness; Vienna,
as a city of extravagance, frolic and
fun; Madrid, as a city where a broken
down actor speculates and boasts of his
glorious past; and London is viewed as
a world center of empire1 and cosmo
politanism. The Major Operations of the Navies in the
War of American Independence, by A. T.
Mahan, I. O. U. LLU., of the United
States Navy. Illustrated. Little,

Theodore Roosevelt. $1.50. Charles Scrlb
ner's Sons, New York City.

The Coming of Cassidy and the Others, by
Clarence E. Mulford. (1.35. A. C. Mc-
Clurg & Co., Chicago.
Do you remember the Bar-20 ranch
stories? For years they have afforded
Inspiration for youths fond of adven
ture. The Wild West is thrillingly re
fleeted. One of the big characters of
Bar-20 ranch is Hopalong Cassidy, two
sun man. In this novel of 43S pages
we learn how Bill Cassidy earned his
nickname of "Hopalong" he was
wounded in one leg in a gun fight and
walked with a limp afterward. The
noel tells how Buck Peters started
Bar-20 ranch, the advent of fighters
like Hopalong, Red Connors, Skinny
Thompson, Lanky Smith and others.
The conflicting parties are Apache In
dians, cowboysw cattle thieves . and
sheepmen. There Is enough blood
spilled to make the book gory, and
really the Coroner should be called
every chapter. - , '
Early Memories,, by Henry Cabot Lodge,
2.."i0. -Charles Scrlbner's Sons. New York
City.
In "Early Memories," 'Senator Lodge
tells the eventful story of his busy life
from the year of his birth, 1850, until
the early '90s, and the record is a re
markably modest, luminous one. It
is American in scope, with an intel
lectual cast.
The period described is Senator
Lodge's growing one, before he began
to be such National figure In Ameri
can politics and a power in the United
States Senate, in a word before the
Roosevelt regime. The volume, of 362
pages, has a wealth of historical ref
erence and anecdote of quite notable
interest. It is a nltv that Senator
. Lodge writes so often in its pages
words in foreign languages without
furnishing translations into Ensrlish.
Thus, the title page has a quotation in
Latin' and the very first sentence In
the book commences this way: "Every
one, in giving an account of himself.
would like, I think, to begin with the
words of the Due de Choiseul at the
opening of his memoirs" and then
looms four and one-half-lines in French.
Three lines more and we stumble into
Latin. The reader begins to regret
mat M.r. Lodge did not think the Eng
lish language to be good enough to
use all the time. The OBDortnnitv.
however, to use his knowledge of other
languages was too tempting to be re
siste and probably those with die
nonaries or foreign languages handy
will be edified accordingly. Apart
irom mis, tne dook is eminently read
able.
The chapter beads are: Heredltv-
earnest Memories, 1850-1860: The
Olympians." ,1850-1860: Bovhood. isfin.
iooi; xne war, ieu-65; Europe. 1866
67; Harvard. 1867-71: Retroanct oni
Contrast; Europe Again, 1871-72; Start
ing june, isj3-ib8v; and Public Men
and Letters. The record ends with a
mention of Thomas Bailey Aldrioh.
Senator Lodge says in conclusion that
me story or nis public life may be
written later, if his' time and strength
win jjerimi.

Co.. Philadelphia.
Amid the rush of books at this sea
son of the year, "The Story of Agatha
Ann" stands out In bold relief as one
of pure gold. It tells of a little, neg
lected orphan girl named Agatha Ann
Falconer, of Virginia. Her father was
a Confederpt soldier who was killed
in the Civil War, and hermother died
at. her birth. Agatha wis what the
world calls an ugly child, but she had
a beautiful soul. She was reared by
Aunt Sarah, a shrew who was no re
lation, and Aunt Sarah flogged her on
general principles. Cousin Ned beat
her, and Miss Piety Blood pinched her
arms. The world looks black to Agatha,
when a great happiness comes to her.
The Custom of the Country, by Edith Whar
ton. 1.S5. Charles Scrlbner's Sons, New

Anything that this gifted authority
writes is worth while. Her stories are
uniformly excellent. Her new novel,
"The Custom of the Country," is Amer
ican; its text is money, modern society
and the social topics of the moment, its
conversation is first-class and plot
splendid.

POLK COUNTY LIGHTENS
. MONOTONY FOR PUPILS
Study of Dairying Introduced Mechanical Work of Farm Made Easier.
Monthly Spelling Contests Conducted Throughout County.
.....
' t 1V
BY LUCIEN P. ARANT.
V3MOUTH, Or., Nov. 22. (Special.)
I I Rural school life no longer is
one of dreariness and loneliness in
Polk County. Innovations placed in
the schools this year have awakened
keen interest among the pupils.
Early in the Summer plans were
made by W. A. Barr, of the Oregon
Agricultural College, and County Su
perintendent of Schools Seymour to
adopt in the rural schools a new study.
This was to be the study of dairy
ing, which includes a thorough inves
tigation of the county's possibilities
for dairymen, monthly herd tests, and
milk and cream analyses. A number
of Babcock testers were ordered and
have just been placed in operation. Not
only do Polk County pupils study dairy
conditions now, but many have cows
of their own. An interest, never be
fore attained in rural schools of this
county, has been centered during the
past month on this new study.
The mechanical work of the farm
and the monotonous grind of the coun
try schoolroom are things of the iast
now.
"How many cows in Polk County
are dairy cows?" is the question whloh
the pupils are striving to answer. To
further assist in the already apparent
success of the subject of dairying in
the' schools are the dairymen them-
rselves, who have brought milk to
school end requested the teacher that
their children learn to test it.
The county monthly spelling contest
is one branch of the present school
system which helps to enliven the

burdens of rural life by creating com
petition among the rural schools. In
this way the students of each school
take a pride in winning for their
school a pennant, standing among the
highest on the list. Since the plan
was originated and put into practice,
thousands of words have been spelled
by Polk County pupils. Some rural
schools have received as high as 100
per cent for several months.
Important in the work of keeping
the boys and girls oh the farm is the,
"Home Credit System." This method
is the allowance of a given number of
credits for work dona at home outsMe
of school hours, such as milking
cows, helping in the housework, gen
eral farm work, walking a long dis
tance to school. Tlie system has suc
ceeded in making the pupils realize
that the performance of the every-day
duties of life is a real part of educa
tion. Some other things in Polk's school
system which are improving school
life In the country are the Teacher
Parent meetings and standard school
requirements. In the Teacher-Parent
meetings problems hardest to solve are
discussed. A closer relationship be
tween the teachers and patrons of the
districts is brought about.
The Cochran School, north of Mon
mouth, and the Klkins rural school,
south of here, are two schools where
the observation work of the Orejron
Normal School is carried on. All prob
lems now needed to be worked out are
carefully studied by the students and
regular visits are made to these two
rural schools which are situat-Jd a
short distance from Monmouth. In
these two schools, especially, studies
have been made practical and pleas
ant, while burdensome tasks have been
eliminated.
