In her other characters Mr Carr has taken well .. known types and brought tnem out in clear and radiant coloring. Sally B.

Aside from Its compelling interest it Is a book that will delight readers who are old enough to remember the events it chronicles, a it will put them in a reminiscent mooda thing always de sired ""by 'those T who" hava iroM " tha meridian.' For the youthful ; reader it will shed a little light . upon the ob stacles tne early builders of this road had 4o endure and overcome, before It was possiDie ror tnem to cross the con tinent In luxury and almost regal com fort. As a whole it : cannot fall to awaken Admiration and some delayed sympathy..; for 1 the f sturdy American blood, ; the hardy . courage and indom itable will of the men who pushed the enterprise to a finish, and opened a con, tinent . to settlement, to commerce and to wealth.

And the. high class and literary merit of each one of these nve volumes testines to the fact that a great 'deal of excellent' talent Is yet to be recognised and appreciated. "Prairie Flowers" Is a collection of about to short poems and the name Is Blmply.a poetic fancy to bind them to gether as it : were. v The first v poem. rrexas.'Ms one of the best of the col lection, it being a brief resume of the past history of tha state with a pro- pnetio outlook for a more happy future. It la an exceedingly well written and forceful production and presages wall for the poems that follow, many of which are of the same character and of equal merit. There are same very good bits of child and dialect verse, making tne wnoie a very aesira Die collection. "Seamstress and Poet" takes its name from th first poem of .the .book. It Is almost a lament and lsMt In happy vein, inougK wen written ana contain ing an element of earneat thought Most of the peems that follow have the same undertone of sadness and .while some are. fresh and original, many are of hacknied subject and : lacking In poetic fancy; as for Instance, "The Trail of the Magdalen" and "In 1 the Alms House." On the other hand there are several to , be specially mentioned ' for their brightness and cleverness, such as "In-. Turker Foot; and rNegro Moun tain," which are written In memory of two notable spots in tne Allegheny mountains. ' , ' ' ,-, , The Jewels of' King. Art' gets Us name from the legendary little poem which opens the volume. It Is smooth and. rythmical though, not as pleasing as many; of the less pretentious ones that follow. It might be styled a book of up-to-date, poems ' as many of .them find their theme in' recent or current events. s Several Of them are songs to some of California's beauty, such as "On coronado Beach. The heroes of the Boer war also have a good share of a Mention. - One of the notable poems Is a little tribute to Senator Hoar, which closes as follows: "For these and more than any speech or song May utter. Hoar, thou in' the senate stood And taught mankind the ' truths sub lime that must . In Ood'a own time uproot all crime and wrong The law of love and : human brother hood - mJ The glory of a nation to-be Just" -! VPoems,1 by Mr., Brant haven't any special significance, .but-is a collection of well - written and ; pleasant little poems. " They are full of life and ani mation witn an inspiring ; outlook on life, and after all these are the poems that are worth reading.- ' ' The last page, under v the . title of "Flotsam." Is a half dosen or more versos, trite, pointed and full ot boiled- down wisdom. ., The closing Is a fair example of the ones- that precede It: "Ever and anon, there rises some - Poor devil of a fellow,-some Jean Val ...

It was written In Paris In 1900, and the opening lines tell the story of the homesick Amerl can: .

In his pre face, Mr. Weaie says: 'Tha time baa now come when a further estimate of tha actual conditions obtaining In the Far East seem desirable. In a former volume. The reshaping of the Far East' an effort was made to present in readable form a detailed account of things aa they then existed tn further Asia, and also to show what might be expected to occur. In the immediate future. ' Many questions are dealt with faithfully and in a manner wnicn may occasion pain to tnosa wno hava come, to the conclusion that the Faf Eastern problem Is at last as good as settled. That such is not tha case, however, Is already patent to observers on the. spot.: iiJl-S-i It is from this thesis Mr. Weals de velops what Is probably the most acute and significant analysis that has been made of the Far Eastern situation since the Russo-Japanese War.

"Beatrix of Clare" By ; John Reed Scott In Mr. Scott s new novel Richard the Third Is one of the leading charac ters and is portrayed in a very different aspect from the general ; conception neither a - hunchback nor deformed. neither ugly or a devil la human form; but a man no worse, and , some better than the majority of, prlnoes and kings of his time and age of boundless am bition, unswerving ' determination . and supreme ability. It, baa been many years since Mr, Bcott was nrst per suaded that Richard tha Third was a : vastly different character, and a victim I of Tudor . Ilea and - now that a promt-1 nent New York publisher promises an important and historical work on this same Richard, which will endeavor to show by documentary evidence that the popular belief is the had character of Richard the Third is a mistaken one, it must be said in Justice to Mr. Bo-U that his manuscript was rn the hands of his publishers some months before this historical work was announced.
