The Nnne's Story, by Adele Bleneau. 1.25.
Illustrated. Th Sobba-Merrill Co., la
dlanapolls, Ind.
So much, cleverness and plausibility
have been shown in the construction
of this thrilling" novel of the present
war in 'Europe that even tha hardened
novel reader will wonder, after perusing-
"The Nurse's Story" if It does not
contain many war experiences that
really happened to one or more indi
viduals? -
Stranger things have happened. The
sub-title says: "In which reality meets
romance."
The ' heroine of the novel is Adele
Bleneau (same name as the author)
daughter of a distinguished surgeon In
Louisiana. Dr. Curtis,- a Northern
surgeon, is stricken with appendicitis,
and Miss Bleneau, a trained nurse, be
comes Dr. Curtis nurse, iliss Bleneau's
mother Is dead.
The time is July,'1914. Dr. Bleneau.
of French descent, wants to volunteer
for field work as surgeon for the
French, when word comes that Ger
many and France are at war, but in
the excitement he dies. .
Through Dr. Curtis' influence. Miss
Bleneau secures a position as a nurse
in a military hospital in France.
On the way over to Europe, Adele
Bleneau meets Captain Ian Frazer,
"tall, lean, bronzed, good looking, a
certain unconscious air of command,
and a military bearing." Captain Frazer
belongs to Great Britain's army in
India, and he,-too. Is en route to Join
In the war. Incidentally, Captain
Frazer is the hero of the novel.
Arrived In the French war-zone,
Adele meets a French officer,- who says:
"Those English are fine fellows. The
Germans at - first despised them, and
I confess we French didn't begin to
appreciate them at their full value un
til in the retreat from Mona, the small
British army, at fearful loss, kept the
German hordes off and bo enabled our
forces to fall back in safety. Their
coolness is appalling. - unbelievable.
They cook, make their eternal tea,
wash, and even shave under fire. They
are queer."
"Some one has Baid of their army
as the nervous lady said of the mouse:
'Small but a horrible nuisance,'" said
one listener.
- "Speaking of the English, their most
admirable quality is their ability to
stand still or retreat, went on tne
French officer. "Wo French are better
at rushing."
In a war hospital near the French
British fighting line, Adele has to nurse
two wounded officers. Captain i-razer,
British, and Captain von. Schulling.
German. Both officers fall in love with
Adele. Von Schulling is so Jealous
of Captain Frazer. that he tries to
tear off the hospital bandages, so that
Frazer may succumb to his wounds.
Adele rescues Frazer Just in time. The
hospital headquarters are "rushed by
the German army, and all the wounded
of the armies of the allies, nurses and
all, become prisoners of war.
"God punish England," cry the Ger
man wounded.
"A good beating would be England's
salvation." says another German critic.
"Kitchener cannot get the men, and the
English won't tolerate conscription. In
fact, it is too late for that now, as it
would be a confession of failure.
The German officer in command of
the district offers Adele her freedom
if she will go in her character of nurse
to the British lines and signal by
means of an orange petticoat the loca
tions of the enemy's bidden big guns.
On Adele's refusal to do so her lover,
Captain Frazer. is to be shot.
What ought the nurse-heroine to do?
There is one spirited description ot
a desperate and successful charge of
British troops against a German posi
tion:
The Germans had placed numberless
machine puna behind hundreds of barbed-
wlro entanglements, as our men aavauceu.
sweenlne all before them In a rush, the Ger
mans fell back and allowed them to come
on. until they were hardly a hundred yarda
away. Then came the rattle of machine
guns and the eracK or rules. v
"My God, it's" madness!" I heard the
Bishop moan. Above the din. the command
of an English officer was borne to us on
th breeze, on word "Ctaarce." The men
responded with demon-like fierceness. On
-ur men came, hut for every one that ad
vanced two fell out. With machine-guns
firing seven hundred and fifty volleys a
minute, how could anything live? The line
wavered but only for a moment. Once
iin T h.erd that terrible command
Charge!" And the men with quick pre
cision made for the gaps In the osrDea
wire, where by some miracle some High
landers bad lived for five minutes, cutting
it The snow had ceased and the sun came
out, picking; up the bayonet tips until they
gleamed Mto burnished silver.
Then came the last supreme effort: shots
at close range: a desperate rush, and finally
cold steel at Close quarters. i naa always
heard the German could not stand against
the bayonet charge. Would it prove true
today? Under the deadly fire of th machine-guns
the English line seemed once
again to waver, out. onxy tor aa iimi.u t .
then, seemingly out of nowhere, came a
rush of black-faced, whlte-turbaned Sikhs.
How they yelled! And how they charged!
Nothlnr hut death could stop them. They
were so close that throuRh th glasses we
could see their eyes flashing and their
teeth glistening. As In a dream, I remem
ber ht-arlng the- Bi&hop saying: "It's the
Sikhs, they are avenging their cap
tain." We could hear the men shouting:
That's one for Mons,' and as n officer
fell. I 'clearly heard his last command:
"Come on. vou HlKhlanders!" But high
above all else, was the terrible yell of the

There are five acts, with 52 charac

and on the next page Jesus takes part
in the conversation with this exclama

peace Sonnets, by Jessie Wiseman Glbba
75 cents. By th author, Villlsca. Ia.
This little book of excellent poems
has a white cover representing peace,
with red lettering "representing the
sacrifice necessary to secure peace."
. -The poems are 57 in number, and
they are all of polished thought and
spiritual appeal. The most of them
reflect the present war In Europe.
"Twenty of them were written more
than a year before the war began."
says our author, "or were dreamed of
on this side of the Atlantic, the initial
number having been a contribution to
the first discussion as to whether the
Panama Canal tolls dispute should be
snbmltted to arbitration. The 21st
number was written in view of possi
ble conflict with Mexico, at the time
when American warships were first
sent to Vera Cruz. The remaining 36
were inspired by the war."
There is one undercurrent running
through these poems--that war is vain
and that only love is lasting. This poem
selected will show the idea:
Haa Christ failed, then, lis Europe? Nay,
but her
Philosophers, her diplomats, her courts
Have failed him, trusting not his heavenly
Of faiaflnd love, nor daring from them
stir
In-valor of his cross, to minister
His life. Therefore for refuge she resorts
To fear and hate, and all her host report
In camp of the Eternal Murderer
Christ cannot fall, but he la still the Prince
Of Peace. The prlnc of this world failetb
The world began, and he shall always fall;
He Is the Enemy and Christ, the Friend.
Who by his love shall mightily prevail .
And of whose Kingdom thero shall be no
end.
Such poems will win especial admi
ration from American peace societies,
that favor the spread of such ethical
ideas. ' ' ';

"The stupendous extravagance of the
war, with its estimated cost of $50,000,

wastefulness," writes our author. "The
spirit of conservation is in the air. Ef
forts are being made to prevent waste
in the Nation, in the state, in the city,
in the factory, on the farm. The ques
tion is, has the new consciousness of
the need of economy extended as far as
the home and the individual?"
Letters and messages of counsel as
to thrift, are furnished from a number
of famous business men, who talk from
their business experience.
Skunk Culture for Profit, by F. M. Holbrook.
t. Illustrated. Skunk Development Bu
reau, Chicago, IU.
A most curious little volume of 119
pages.
The initiated prefer to give Mr.
Skunk a wide berth on a country road
or in a forest. The animal has a habit
of making his presence known in a
most emphatic manner, and he haa a
smell that is all his own.
There is no doubt about It that the
rapid decrease fn the natural or wild
supply of fur. by close trapping and
clearing of forests, has added the
stimulus which fur-farming has re
ceived in the last few years. Now,
skunks smell and all are bred and
hunted for their skins, but the anal
glands or scent sacs are removed. Once
this is done, it is stated that Mr. Skunk
becomes not only a pet, but a scource
of profit for the sake of his fur.
Mr. Holbrook says so and in his
book shows how. There are four bead
in breeding skunk stock in Oregon and
one set of instruments for removing
the scent sacs. It is stated that for
several years fine prime black skunk
skins brought from. M to 16 each in
the raw state, and that fine muff and
toa sets of skunk are often sold at re
tail as high as $150. ,
As these lines are being written, a
news report comes stating that one
Oregon farmer is so discouraged at
the skunks on his farm eating each
other, that he contemplates ceasing to
be a skunk breeder and dealer.

that It is weak to scorn the mastery of
God. Seven songs labeled "Humorous"
