added the saving grace of humor, on

According to Svdney B-ooks. London
correspondent for Harper's Weekly, New
Yorkers who live in rentcjrl flats or
houses h re enjoying a condition of para
dise, compared with the lot of the
London tenant.
The Hritish landlord, he complains.
Is a tyrant, and the long lease system Is
the basis of his tyranny. The system
of 12 months' lease that obtains in
New York is the Magna Charts of the
tenant. It has done Infinitely more for
American happiness Than either the
Declaration of Independrnce or the di
vorce laws. It makes landlords com
plain and confers upon the tenant a
status of something very like equality.
Nervous people and those afflicted with heart weakness need have no fear whatever. Our method,
too, of filling teeth robs dentistry of all its terrors and makes the filling of a tooth absolutely painless.
Any of the patients whom we have served in past years will vouch for our fair and reliable dealings.

"The Pacific Monthly." and Inci
dentally Portland, has scored a great
point In the literary world by securing
for publication Jack London's latest
story. "Martin Kden," which will begin
in tte September number. It Is said
by those who have Keen privileged to
examine the manuscript, to be his best
work. London Is unu,uestionahy the
most forceful fiction writer of today.
It Is not from the fact that he paints
his pictures with the coloring of In
tense realism) or for the reason Hint he
has usually chosen unfamiliar scenes
wherein to place his characters, but be
cause, as every one must know who has
read anything he has ever written, be
lias a message for the world a message
ao strong, so Intense tiiat every word
he write Is freighted with the Import
of it. Neither is It the message of a
dreamer, an idealist, or a prophet, but
that of a man. who, at the earlv age of
S'2 stands facing society and econojjc
conditions with the experience of the
seer, and the courage of David going
forth to battle with the giant. Theory,
to London, la an unknown ouantlty; he
has wrestled with all sorts and condi
tions of real life and. Into every book
he has written, he has put more or less
of his own experience, hut ft Is said
that "Martin Kden." is entirely his own
life as it has advanced from one stage
to tho other. It Is said that the reader
will not have his attention directed by
other characters, as the force and
strength of the book Is concentrated on
Just the character of Martin Kden. If
thle is ao, and It really Is the life of
Jack London himself, it would need no
other Introduction, for even thcSse who
do not admire London and hts views,
admit his genius and bis originality, his
courage and his strength, and his per
