The author has taken much of his material from orleinal sources, and his descriptions of the scenes and places are almost wholly given at iirsi nauu trom personal visits and Investigation. Added to the authenticity of the work Is the author's finished and attractive style, which Is concise, lucid and pol ished. . t The book Itself is a work of art.

The book Is gorgeously Illuminated and also beau tifully Illustrated by Mr. Christy. Books like these are literary and artistic treasures, and answer the thou sands of calls, "What shall we give tor Christmas?" They suit all ages of men or women, and have the added attraction of meeting almost any purse. Bobbs, Merrill & Co., Indianapolis. "The Henry James Year Book," se lected and arranged by Evelyn Garnaut Bmally, with Introductions by Henry James and William Dean Howells. In his Introduction, Mr. Howells Bays: "That this volume should send people to his (James') books who do not, know them, es it will surely send people back, to them who have long known them, Is something gTeatly to be wished in the interest of literature, and especially of American literature. We do not so abound In masterpieces that we can afford to ignore or neglect the finest of the few we have." The title of the book quite definitely explains its character. It is simply a Henry James gem for each day in the year, and It is certainly worth a great deal to any reader and lover of good literature to be able to turn, each day, to a precious bit and refresh his mind Without the toll of hunting it. The selections have been made with discriminating care, and the Introduc tions alone are well worth the price of the book. The frontispiece is a fine portrait of Mr. James. Richard G. Badger.

"The Young Woman and Her Education", preserts with directness the unqvestioned. necessity for female edu cation, and the excellent opportunity at the present time offered to young women who seek recognition in the world of letters. . "The Young Woman and Her Circle of Friendships" clearly and forcibly puts forth our great social obligations and mutual dependence, and the great hap piness that comes to a woman from having friends umong both men and women.

"The Flying Oirl," by Edith Van Dyne. Few stories have ever come from the press at a mor- opportune time than did "The Flying Girl," by Edith Van Dyne, author cf "The Aunt Jane's Nieces" books, which have been read and loved by so many thousand girl readers. Almost coincident with the publication of the book came the great Chicago aviation meet, at which time several ladles made ascensions. The scene of the story Is laid In Cali fornia, near a suburb of Los Angeles, where climatic conditions are very fa vorable to the art of flying. Stephen Kane, with his sister Orlssa, is the sole support a blind mother, but Steve has invented such a wonderful biplane that it is deemed wise for him to aban don his work In en automobile repair shop and make .ready to enter his ma chine in a coming aviation meet. The brother and sister have to endure many hardships In order to do this, but through skillful manipulation of their scanty finances the good mother is al lowed to feel nore of the privation. Steve and Orissa work like trojana to perfect and complete their machine, and after one or two hazardous flights made by Steve In the early mofcilng hours everything works to his satisfaction. The road to glory, however. Is attended by many mishaps, not the least of which is the breaking og Steve's leg a short time prior to the great meet, through the duplicity of one of the men hired to guard the hangar containing the ma chine. Every effort Is made to secure an aviator, but to no avail, and as a last resort Orissa volunteers to take Steve's place. Many doubts are entertained as to the capabilities of the young aviator. but she finally prevails, makes the as cension and 'wins the big event; alio performing a most daring feat in the rescue of the aviator who has tried to demolish her machine. Throughout the story Miss Van Dyne has kept the character of Orlssa sweet and girlish, and though the thrilling adventures are many and varied, the story is as clean end wholesome as her Aunt Jane" series, though differing widely. 12 mo.

The subtitle says: "Bedtime tales that soothe to slumber and bring sweet dreams." Jt iB dedicated to "Marian, and all good children who take their naps." The preface says: "These sto ries are to be told very gently, when the little head Is on the pillow nap time or nighttime but the bright eyes are still open wide and the active brain fights off its sleepiness with 'Tell me a story!' " These stories are in such rhyme and meter as Is supposed to Induce sleep. They are soothing and are more of a monotonous, sleepy drone than real sto ries, and they are far removed from the stories that are usually told to the sleepy child. The author believes this subconscious time should be used to fill tho little soul with the love of nature and rest the little brain; hence this book. Whether It has this psychological power or not. It Is a most charming ad dition to tlie Juvenile books of the sea son. If anything without a plot can be called a story, then these "stories" are sweet and pure, and the book is gotten up most attractively, with hand some binding, colored Illustration and marginal decorations.

He had other nicknames, too, "Dandy T' his absurd love for wearing fine clothes In the wilderness and in battle. The In dian gave him the nickname of "Black Snake" from the swirt ana aeaauness of his attack. - At the outbreak of the Revolution ary war. Sir Henry Clinton saia or Wayne: "Wherever Mad Anthony Wayne Is, there's always a fight That's what he is there for." And Clinton, had sufficient experience to know whereof he spoke. In many wajts "Mad Anthony" Wayne was the most ' romantlo figure in the Revolution. He was the hero of many desperate exploits, and every school history tells how, fearless and dashing, he took Stony Point, and with almost equal emphasis they . relate the story of how be saved the northwest. y "Nothing tends so much to perpetu- ato the brilliant deeds of a man," says Head lejr, "as some sobriquet Indicative of his character. Thus Launes was called the 'Ajax' of the French army, Junot, the tempest'; Murat 'the preux chevalier,' and Key, 'the bravest of the brave.' " Mad . Anthony" Is known the coun try over for the fierceness of his harge and the fury with which he tormed through a fight At the battle of Monmouth Wayne fought with such desperate valor and led his troops to the charge with such impetuosity that he drew forth expres sions of admiration from Washington. Disputing every Inch of ground with a tenacity that nothing seemed able to shake, and pressing every advantage with a vigor that even the burning sun under which he tolled could not lessen, he stood one of the chief props of that glorious battle. The greatest achievement of Wayne, however, was the storming of Stony Point on July 16, 1779. and Its suc cessful result was one of the striking turning points of the efforts to free the colonists. On the previous day, Wayne assembled his troops at Sandy Beach and at that moment not a man knew the plans of their commander. On the morning of the 16th "Mad Anthony" called out his men on parade and his pressed on. General Wayne, - himself, struck In the head by a musket ball, fell stunned. He was thought to be mortally Vounded. He recovered In a moment however, and rising on one knee shouted "March on! March on!" Then turning to his aids he begged them to take him into ,the fort ao that, if his Wayne" was one of them, because of I woundwaa mortal, he would-dle-at the aenlprl verriirt Mnnrtnv ThA riofpnaA claimed that the affections of Phillips orders consisted that every man should were won by other women before Mrs. Thomas-Phillips arrived on the scene.

The name of Miss Croft; another stenographer, was also brought into the case as the object of his affections. AWARD OF $6000 MADE TO INJURED CATTLEMAN (Special to Tli Journal.) Baker, Or., Dec. 9. P. J. Brown of this city was awarded judgment of S6000 by the Jury in his suit against the O.-W. R. & N. to recover damages for injuries sustained while be was overseeing the loading of some cattle In the local yards, for which accident the railroad was held responsible. Brown is one of the prominent stockmen of eastern Ore gon and has been badly crippled since the accident, being confined to his bed for several months. It Is understood the railroad will appeal. appear "fresh shaved and with their hair well powdered." At noon the march for Stony Point began over a wilderness train and In perfect silence. Not a man was allowed to leave the column under penalty of death. By 8 o'clock that night they were within less than two mires of the British fortress. Then the troops were told of the desperate work ahead of them and the battle order was read. No man vas allowed to load his mus ket and the battle was to be won or lost with thcbayoifet alone. One per tlon of the order provided that any man fovlnd retreating a single foot was to be put to death at once. At 11:30 o'clock the order to advance was given. Once In motion General Wayne lost no time. When his troops reached the sandbar they were to cross they found the water waist deep, but they never hesitated. In they dashed, and their splashing about in the water aroused the enemy, and they opened fire upon the Americans with guns both great and small. The critical moment had arrived. Seventeen of the 20 men, In one advance guard were shot down, but the companies in the rear eagerly head of his column. General Wayne's wound drove his followers to a frenzy. They dashed up the hill and battered down all opposi tion. Not a man displayed any hesi tancy. ,, "The fort is ours," the cry prev iously agreed upon, shouted trie vie torious Americana as they had gained their point and had hauled down the British flag. General Wayne's report to Washing ton was as follows: "The fort and gar rison, with Colonel Johnson, are ours. Our officers and men behaved like men determined to be free." The victory of Stony Point naturally aroused a tremendous enthusiasm and it came at the right time. The country was. depressed. If not quite discouraged, and Stony Point was like a tonic. Not only did "Mad Anthony" reoeive the thanks of congress and gold and silver medals, but he was In receipt of hun dreds, of congratulatory letters express ing popular and professional approval. Wayne often declared that "It la in our power to produce a conviction Jto the world that we deserve success," and he went far to prove It at Stony Point Wayne's success in the north was to be followed by an equal exhibition of his bravery and daring In the suoth. It was during the campaign in Virginia that Wayne received his nickname of "Mad Anthony." One of Wayne's Penn sylvania soldiers was a jnan who was not- well balanced mentally. He was very useful, however, as a spy and was given some liberties in . camp. But he would get drunk and upon such occa sions he generally landed In the guard nous. On one of these occasions, the sergeant reported that on the next oc casion v'Jemy the Rover,'' as he was known, Svould, by the general's orders, not only be locked up but receive 29 laahes beelde. , "Then," said Jemy, "Anthony is mad. Clear the way for Mad Anthony's friend." The story spread and It gave an op portunity for those who were envious of General Wayne's success to apply ing the appellation sneerlngly, but the people applied It only in praise. . "Mad Anthony" Wayne gave his en tire life to the servlct of hia country, and he died, discharging his duty, at Erie, Pa., on December's, 1796. A his torian pays this tribute to the general's great work in the weft following the revolution: "It was Anthony Wayne who first spread the gridiron flag over all the road domain between the Ohio river, the Great Lakes afyl the Missis sippi river. It was he tht opened the way for the home buildeis, who soon came In throngs over all flie routes to the new land." It was a', great work and It proved to be the monument to "Mad Anthony" Wayne.
