Jtungor. Pub. by Double- liny, Page & Co. Hero Ir n book that cannot bo too highly praised. It la n Reed, clean, strong Btory told lit nit Interesting, masterful vay, Tho sotting of tho story It a now onq. Tho scenes aro all laid In Knttsaa and tho book would hardly take the place ot an ad vet Using cir cular, as tho descriptions ot tho long, hot Bummers, tho dreary, deaolnto winters, tho plaguo of grasshoppers, a cyclono, and a blluard and a fow other unhappy thing that "UlecdlnK Kansas" is heir to, aro put Into tho story with realistic candor. Tho characters aro nil of tho com nionplaco type, clearly drawn. Elizabeth Farnshaw, tho heroine, lived on ono of these dcsolato Kaunas farms. lKr mother was a poor, ove worked woman, entirely dominated by a Boirish, churlish, exacting h un hand. Mr. Karnshaw was one of those men who denied his family all tbo luxuries and oven necessities, of life, using not only his earnings but those of hfci wlfo, and daughter to buy farming Implements or cattle "with. KlUaboth,. had' known nothing from childhood up to womanhood but drudgery andj, direst poverty, Thcro wan no evidence or lovo In tin family circle, tall the neighbors lived as her father and mother didwork ing always merely to keep oul and body together. Kllzubcth longed for something beautiful and pleasant to como Into her life. "It' not the faded clothes that 1 dread," she nald ono day after surveying tho family wash, "It Is the faded lives." So the rest of tho story deals with bow aho found love and tried to keep tho color rosy and bright Jn her own life; how she nearly lost it by slip ping Into a narrow groove as her mother before her had done, through sheer exhaustion of body and soul. A woman may easily become tho slavo of tho man sho loves and mar ries If sho allows him to dictate to her In all things without her aas;rt Ing her own rights where she knows that he io in tho wrong. Tho dicta tor soon becomes a bully and tho buljy has no regpect for his victim. Then married lfo for the woman, who through lovo at tho beginning has unconsciously substituted her husband's will for her own, becomes an utter dependence on the husband, and sho In abjectly helpless to better conditions. Klizabcth passed through all theso phases pf unhappy cxls- tenco until a way was opened up to her whereby sho became at first fin ancially Independent of her husband and then mentally and morally so. Tho change lu her was qulto dis pleasing to her husband In the be ginning, then ho was flually forced to respect, her, business, ability and appreciate hor keen, Judgment In Im portant matters,. Then ho realized that tho woman whom bin own solt Ishniss had crushed to a dcuplacblq, hysterical silly fool, had developed and b'osnomed Into a wondorful bo lug worthy or admiration and lovo, ouu to work with and not against, ono to consult and not Ignore The hook ends leaving Klizabcth who "oved tho glow, and color of llfo at tho foot of tho rainbow, linppy and coufldout ot tho future. "Jnck Norton" by 13. Uofur. I'uu. by liadgcr. Tho pcoplo of Oregon have bean too busy with real llfo to spend much tlmo In writing rict'on. Wo. hnvo had very few books from Uio pens of Orugoulans and wo should welcome and encourago any literary talent tiat Js, in our midst, . - . .Mr. IJofur is a well known man u tho state and this book, tho first from hlB pou, will bo read from cu riosity If for no other reason. "Jack Norton" is a book with an Oregon setting the scenes aro laid around Salem, The story, however, Is not exactly a strong or pleasing ouo. There aro men llko Jack Not ion wo all know them successful, brilliant man, who havo lived a life ot respectability according to all the lawn of society, until middle age, and who then try In tho last years of their remalnlu prime to gr'up the things that" conventions havo mado them boo fit to step aside from in earlier years. Uut such ji mun only lnvltoa ridicule, and gains no sym pathy. Jack Xort,on. was a married man with a grown family; his llfo had buen conventional, respectable, and above roproaclj until ho mot ''Imanne," a young woman with a past, who Inspired him with a foolish Infatuation. If tho hero had been open and above board, as he railed at conventions, tho ' reader would ba,yu had more sympathy with him, Hut ho wus still careful of his posi tion and succeaa and a,cted vory much like u bontlmental sneak. Tho best part of tho book is tho letpri wrjlte,n to fmiinuo, nu,d had. a jouugrr man than Norton ouo er and help soma lu establishing tin would appreciate them more as It tlouallsm In music In America as welt In thoy sound llko maudlin icntlmen,as other cuuntrlet.

Summer Plans of Conservatory Special Privileges Tor Visiting Teach era and Pupils. The California Conservatory of Music. 1509 Cough street, announces In it circular Just Issued that all de partments ot the Institution will re main open through the summer months. This will be welcome news to many music teachers and advanced pupils living In tho Interior who can como to tho city for special courses during the summer months. In ad dition to the regular work of the con servatory a number ot special and re view courses will bo offered. Clausen In methods of teaching will bo n bpecial feature. Public school music will bo made a separate course In the charge of a specialist. There will also bo an opportunity ot studying tho modern kindergarten music meth ods under specially trained teachers. Tho regular teaching forco will bo augmented by the addition ot several teachers of prominence. fumo ot her yielding body, with which he wnu brought in close con tact, was Intoxicating and entirely new to him, but, ns he discovered later In life, was duo not to cosmet ics but entirely to her uufamlllarlty with tho bath." Again, "Sho waa having hor teeth irpuirvu, nun nam, one uuri'U unruly to open her mouth lost sho reveal tho cavities or betray a bad breath." There, are also Rovcrnl instances of unconscious nntl-cllmax, nuch as: "l Kissed jour hands, jour hair, mud would havo kissed your feet had they not been so tightly encased lu patent leathers," He speaks ardently ot Iiuautie'it hair many times, but a woman would hardly consider It a compli ment to havo her lover say, "your red stringy mane."

"Hliymci of a Itolling Stone" b Robert W. Service. Pub. by Dodd Mead & Co. As strong and as penetrating as tho north wind Itself, blowing from tho snow white land of tho north comes a new book of Alaskan poems by Robert Service. If yon love the lawless, gipsy life and your way happens to fall along tho city pavements; If conventions hedge you In a narrow groovo and all the time you aro yearning for the car free liberty of the wild. Just pick up "Rhymes of a Rolling Stone." and tho Joy of living, tho daring of hardships, the spoil of tho beautiful lonely places, arvyours. Tho mood ot the author scorns tollngcr about each vorse, and so realistic are his descriptions that you will bo sharing his campflre. tracking over fields of snow with him and ho will bo ex plaining tho llfo of tho Indian tribes, allowing you some good In each bad man and pointing out the beauties and the granduer of tho land he love. There Is the strength of tho bruto. tbo gentleness of a woman and tho frankness of a child combined In Services' poems. (From "A "Rolling Stone.) "I wns ouco, J declare a stone-ago man And 1 loarucd in tho cool or u cavu; I havo known, I will awenr, Ii n now llfo it pan, Tho fret and tho wcct of a slave: Far far over all that folks hojd worth, There lives and thcro leapa lu mo, A lovo of tho lowly things of earlh And a passion to bo freo."
