GOSSIP ABOUT SOME CURRENT BOOKS
1 There is' no better evidence that
America la growing old than the value
thtc is beginning to be placed upon her
literature and history, particularly that
' of a personal nature. ' ; v ;:.;
Letter writing: a hundred years ago
was hot the 'lost art" It la today,, and
i there was more than generosity In one
of Portland's greatest benefactors, lately
' leaving a bequest to a certain achot no
found a chair of penmanship that ie
art of Writing might not be entirely
lost." '. ' -
There was deep satire as well, though
. that probably was the. farthest from
the kindly old gentleman s mina, out
it showed a prophetic appreciation of
the trend of the times.
Cheap postage and the advent of the
typewriting machine are held largely
responsible . f or . the , decay of literary
worth in the correspondence of the world
. today. Those of course are t)ut factors
which are a part of the "hurry up" age
but potent factors in destroying a
class of literature which we are begin
V ning to appreciate if, not emulate the
' letter, writing literature. -j
' That the letters of our forefathers, if
' they were intelligent people and people
HfaHaJrs, -were nAny of them literary
works In every sense of the word Is
assured. Clear, concise, well constructed
- under rules that obtained at that time;
every word carrying its fullest quota of
meaning, facts simply stated and opin
ions strongly presented, and conclu
sions logical, what more waa to be
: desired?. -
Regretable as It Is, many of these let
ters have been lost to literature and
lilstory,- for the same reason the child
dashes to pieces a valuable bit of china
It is too young to appreciate Ita
value. But that America is attaining
the adult age In this respect has lately
been manifest by two notable gifts to
the Congressional library. Some time
ngo the letters and correspondence of
. Montgomery Blair was collected and
turned over by his heirs to this library,
A few days ago a still "mora valuable
collection became the property .of the
nTnlted States. The relatives of - -Martin
Van Buren presented to the Congres
sional library all the letters, documents,
public and private, of their distinguished
ancestor, comprising many hundreds,
something like 400 letters, being, the
famous correspondence between Van
Hurert And Andrew Jackson, of which
but two or three letters have ever been
made ? pubfie. . - The value of such col
lections can not be estimated, and that
they should be where they will receive
the proper care, be safe from nre ana
be accessible to the historian, or stu
dent, i but a matter of patriotism. We
wish the space were given us to write
a 'whole essay on the study that was
given to the writing of a letter In those
days, and whyi its peculiar value, and
the opinion we entertain for 'those who
allow such matters to fall to decay In
the attic while they dawdle over the
'historic novel' in the parlor or li
brary. .

wqr vessels the . loquacious, and phi
losophic Lannlgan happened to be at
tached (to. Rarely do we find such a
delicate combination of Irish humor and
.bits of pathos blended so finely. The
'wit of the Irishman in finding the vul
nerable places in the armor of public
affairs does not desert him,' but with
. irna mm n a mmnnm r nanv a inar: nnnin
. with satire and feathered with humor
to telling effect . Mr. Fernald takes his
characters to many countries' and many
climes and tells his stories with the
masterhand of one that has seen (and
not only read about), what he 'writes.
Having traveled, he can see America
from a perspective afforded by famlllar
, ity.wlth the countries and Institutions
which have contributed to make us what
we are, and in these stories have given
us some glimpses for which Burns
pined; "The power. to see ourselves as
libers see us." It Is not surprising that
the book has had a wonderfully large
sale, and that It holds Its own with
newer "books 'appearing, ' for it does not

Benton Harbor, Mich., has been

Nothing of the kind; I have simply dis

Mrs. Germond was not dead. Of course.
I know what the .doctors said, but the
doctors are-often wrong.y Hundreds of
people are burled every year who are
not actually dead. It Is simply a case
of suspended animation. They seem to

that liquid you see yonder.

" ' The concerts given In the public parks
of Portland during, last summer were so
successful that an effort Is being made
to make them permanent.
J. D. Myers of the music committee of
the park board says that the committee
will soon be at work getting ready to
solicit subscriptions for the enterprise,
and he thinks that they will be even
more successful than during the pre
vious year.
'The committee raised about $1,600
last year for popular concerts among
the business men," says M. Meyers,
"and $1,000 additional was subscribed
by the park board. We gave three con
certs a week, weather permitting, In the
various parks of the city one being
given each Sunday afternoon In the City
park and the other two were equally dl
dlvlded among the pther parks, Plaza
blocks. Park blocks, Holladay park and
Hawthorne park.
The concerts were given by Brown's
band Composed of 35 members and all
of them were very well attended. The
committee, out of the J5, 500 allowed for
concert purposes last season, built a per
manent band stand In the city park
and small stands at the other Darks.
This took soml money, so if we get as
much money this season as we did dur
ing the last one we will have more
money to spend on the music and I am
in favor of giving more concerts. Out
of last year's fund we still have about
$500 left and the park beard has voted
the usual $1,000 which will be given an
nually. r Brown handled the concerts so
successfully last season that I am lu
favor of keeping him during the com
ing season. I also think that the other
members of the board are of the same
opinion. Last season we gave about 35
concerts, but this season we expect to
increase that number."
The park board is composed of
Messrs. Meyers, Hawkins, Eliot and
Lewis.

TAICOTT TALK TO
DISEASED MEN
THE DIGNITT OF OUR PROFESSION DOES
not permit us to speak too freely of our accom
pllshmentsX yet It Is the duty of a recognised and
legitimate jrhyeiclan to say sufficient that the pub
lic may distinguish him from the Impostor. This
.we are entitled to state: Our practice Is the
largest on the Coast, built up by the personal rec
ommendation of one patient to another. It can(Ss ,
stated, too, without fear of contradiction, triSt
previous to our announcement of the importance of
urethral and prostatic inflammation as factors in
the disorders of men, that treatment was conducted
In an unsuccessful manner.
Oar brilliant cures and the copying of our meth
da by others Is evidence, of otic superiority. 4 .
