"-vrStlcn, and has no more serious mis
jslon than '-taking lirod .people to the
Islands, of ?the Blest," yet its expression
Is unusual. "Tho Ballad of the King's
Jest," Js not pretty; "The Grave of the
?Hundred Head" Is uncomfortably real?
istic with "the drip-drlp-drlp from the
baskot," but neither of these are "com?
monplace." "The Betrothed" has lines
lhat sound original. Many men may have
thought, but none before Kipling was
bold to say that
*'A -woman is only a woman, but a
good cigar is a smoke." "La Nuit
Blanche" is not an isolated experience.
but its form is not ordinary. One may '
lake Sleary's action as heavily as did
Mrs. BoCCkin, but nono can think his
behavior conventional. Between St.
Peter and the devil, Tomllnson heard ?
muoh plain speaking, but 1 recall noth- ?
ln*?_ that it ti Ite. And if that adjective !
can *>e applied Co "The Recessional" it |
5s our fault and not Kipling's. How
?could he know that his jniem would
"'touch the heart of the English-speak?
ing world as nothing else connected with
"the jubilee has done"" He had written
a greater poem in "The Hymn Before
Action." and that, though it may be
deeper in a few hearts, is not so con
etantly on many lips." "The Last
Chanty," If memory serves, has both
thoughts and words I have not found
elsewhere. "The Truce of the Bear,"
politically or poetically considered, ir
?unique. The words, like the blow of
"than, eteel-shod paw," are "savage nnd
isearing as llame"; ?they disclose the
past work of lhe bear with horrible ?
vividness, and not even this Master of
the (Magicians "put back the bandage." j
"'Pitiably commonplace:" The verdict ?
Ss as astuto as thai", of a girl who once I
told me she "liked Jane Eyre because j
CMr. ?Rochester vas such a kind man." J
Yet, after all, such criticism will do ?
good service, if it rescue Kipling from j
the faddists who r?*ad because it is the
fashion, and give him back to 'those who
?have known ani. understood him from I
th?- beginning. Only if Mr. LeG?Jlienn? j
?would consign lo the flames, with the
rest of tho books of the jvist year, all j
?*3p*ung's poems in "plain English" ?nd ,

"THE MASTER BEGGARS. By L. Cope
Cornford. author of "Captain Jacobus."
Philadelphia. J. B. Lippincott Com?
pany. Paper, price, 50 cents.
This is a romance of the Sixteenth
Century. The scene is Holland, and
*-he events tho stirring tragedies of the
contest between the Spaniards and the
Prince of Orange. The story deals prin?
cipally with the adventures of the some?
time monk. Hilari?n. It is a wild talc
of love and war.
THE PRIEST'S MARRIAGE. By Nora j

Pictures," "A Comedy of Honor." "The j
Story of a Fool and His Folly," etc
New York. G. P. Putnam's Sons. Hud?

G. P. Putnam's Sons give out the fol?
lowing notice: .
"G. P. Putnam's Sons regret to have
occasion to announce to the reading pub?
lic that the story r.^ccntly published by
them under the title of ?Aboard th?
American Duchess.' a story purporting j
lo be the work of an American author
?who writes under the name of George L.
Myers, Is ;t plagiarism of a story pub- I
llshcd some years later back by Mr. j
Hcadon Hill, of London, entitled 'The '
Saving. Every Person SHOULD Save

Queen of Night." Mr. Hill's material
has been appropriated by tne American
writer, such appropriation constituting a
wiong against the English autlior and
his publishers, and also, of coGTse, the
American publishers, who accepted as an
original work the story 'The American
Duchess.' The publisher? are making
this announcement in order to caution
American readers against the purchase,
under a wrong impression, of the story
issued under the title of 'Aboard the
American Duchess.' "

Daniel Mallet, 2?'1 Broadway, New
York, announces the publication o? a
"MAGAZ1XE GF POETRY." The an?
nouncement is as follows:
"The lover of poetry who remits the
sum of one dollar to the publisher will
possess at the end of the year a volume
of some four hundred pages, in twelve
monthly parts, comprising a thousand
selections of real poetry, both grave and
gay. The above is ? personal invitation
to Join the appr?ciatives."
One of the penalties which an author
must pay for his popularity is that in
his daily mail there are at least some
ton or a dozen requests for his auto?
graph. In the case of Mr. Winston
Chun-hill, whose novel. KVchard Carvel,
is now in its three hundred and thirtieth
thousand, and Mr. F. Marion Crawford,
whose Via Crucis bids fair to reach its
hundredth thousand within three months
of its issue, these requests have become
particularly burdensome. Tho publisli
i ers, The Macmillan Company, have hit
on the happy expedient of issuing a spe
I cial edition of one thousand copies of
each of these novels, each one of which
? will contain the author's autograph. It
| is hoped that Ihis innovation in ordinary
I publishing methods will result in the sat
i isfaction of the autograph collector and
! the relief of tiie author.

Mrs. A. G. Paddock. New York: Fords,
I Howard & Hulbcrt. Bound in clolth,
?octavo, rod top. "W pnge,=. Price, $1.0?.
; This is a new edition of Mrs. Paddock's
I Mormon story, now in its tenth thousand:
It is of special interest just now, as
'? ?tftincwing light upon the Mcrmon ques
i tion. Which the Roberts case has brought
! into such prominence. The author Tesidcd
in Salt Lake city for ten years and this
story was constructed from, realities ex?
isting on every s.id'e. In the preface
she says: "I do not pretend to te'l of
'the -worst of the doings of the Saints,
for no decent pen could describo and no
decent reader would peruse the shocking
facts." Ir is an exposure of the evils of
?Mormonism, told in the guise of a novel.

The scene of this admirable historical
romanos is laid in tiie tumultuous Eng?

IN CONNECTION "WITH THE DE WIL- '
LOUGHBY CLAIM. Frances Hodgson
Burnett. Charles Scribner's Sons, New
York.
Now that ?Mrs. Burnett's newest lite?
rary, venture since the appearance of her
"Lady of Quality" and the "Lady of
Quality's" sequel is fairly before the
American public, her readers and ad?
mirers must experience a sensible feel?
ing of relief In Unding her once more in
De Lisle county. Tenn., on familiar
ground and among the people whom
early and keen-sighted obser\-ation en- ;
ables her to so truly individualize and
describe.
De AVilloughby, the supreme and cen?
tral figure in connection with his claim,
is a most lovable creation. Thwarted in
personal aims and ambitions, disappoint?
ed in love, disowned by those who should
?have been his natural helpers and com?
forters, his knightly nature, despite Its
clumsy and awkward encasement in out?
ward form and ligure, made him the
guardian of helpless infancy, the foster?
ing influence of an idyllic life and love
in which "two young an?l beautiful na?
tures could meet each other, join hands,
and wander on among roses until they
reached the gate of life, when it swung
open for them and they passed through
to find another paradise."
The darker side of the story is a, pitiful
tragedy and intensely dramatic In? its
telling, bringing to our notice, as it docs,
the pathetic, frightened figure of little
Margery, the brilliant, many-sided Balrd,
with his shadow and foi!, the gloomy,
inarticulate Latimcr.
It is a- curious coincidence that when
in the final scene of Balrd's ghastly ex?
piation and punishment, he'cries out to
La timer, "You have crucified me! Let
that comfort you." one 13 forcibly and
irresistibly reminded of a similar ut?
terance from the lips of the "Gadfly,"
and one can but wonder over how far
Mrs. Burnett was here, consciously or
unconsciously, influenced by that cele?
brated impersonation of Mrs. Voynlch's
genius.
The busy political atmosphere with
which the national capital is surcharged
is delineated in. /sharp contrast to the
simple, peaceful ncighborliness prevailing
at Talbott's Cross-Roads. Life there ex?
isted in primitive naturalness, but Do
Villoughby only justifies our estimate of
his loyalty to early associations, whon
he, as soon as his cause in Washington
was won, turns his face to his home in
the "Land of tho Sky" and finds his
hope's best fulfilment and end there.
THE MAiN "WITH THE HO?"?, WITH
NOTES BY THE AUTHOR. By Edward.
Markham. Doubleday and McClure Co.,
New Yorlc
Comment urxrqualled, praise? unstinted,
an?! criticism unsparing and unqualllled
have been combined influences moving
Mr. Markham to reply against ?G clamor?
ous public, and to set himself right with
great poem. The following brief extracts
from his "?Not?:s" will indicate the lines
"along which Mr. Markham makes, alike-,
his explanation and his defense. H?
says: "I am often asked how 1 came to
write The Man With the Hoe.' I am my?
self. In a limited sense, one cjt the 'Hoe
; manry?' I know the dull sense of hope
? lessness that beats upon the heart in that
; monotonous drudgery that leads nowhere,
that ha9 no light ahead. Feurtben years
j ago I came upon a small print of Miliet's
? picture of the 'Hoeman.' It was then I
I jotted down the rough 'field not?s' of my"
; poem. For years I kept the print on my
I wall and the pain of It In my .heart,
? And then, tern years ago, I chanced upon
! the painting itself. Do I ne*d to say
that the hoe poem is not a protest against
labor? No; It.Is my soul's word against
the degradation of labor, the oppression
of man by m*in."
novel which he has named "ANDROME?
DA." It Is an "idyll" of the Thames,
and the period is the early part of Queen
Victoria's reign. .
The continued popularity of DAVID

Among the authors "crowned" by the

Professor Harry Thurston Peck, in
THE INIDBPKiVDE'NT. has given an in?
teresting list of the six best novels of the
year ISO!', arranged in the order ot" their
literary merit. Four of these have been
great financial successes also, but the
two others are lacking In the popular
appreciation shown in enormous sales:
1. "The Greater Inclination." By
Edith Wharton."
2. "David ?."rum." By E. N. West

3. "The Maternity of Harriott Wick

What has been called (by a British
commentator) "an amusing correspond?
ence" has lately passed between Mr.
Kipling and a firm of publishers in Lon?
don. There arrived in care of this lirm
a letter addressed from the United States
to Mr. Kipling, and it was promptly re
posted direct to him at Rottingdean,
with a formal note in these words:
"The enclosed letter has just reached
us from America, and you will see we
bad to pay a letter fine of 3d. on it.
Your obedient servants, GAY & BIRD."
A few days later the publishers receiv?
ed this acknowledgment, dated from Mr.
Kipling's house, the Elms, Rottingdean:

By a special arrangement with the Rand-McNally Company, the famous map
makers, The Times is enabled to offer its readers at nominal cost a handy atlas de?
voted especially to the scenes of conflict in the
Philippines and South Africa.
When accompanied by the coupon in this advertisement one of these Atlas of
Two Wars can be secured?or only Fifteen Cents. Cut the coupon out, bring or
mail it to The Times office with ij cents. No extra charge for postage when mailed.
" SPECIAL FEATURES OF THE ATLAS.
?N
??_
The Mops of South Airica?show every railroad,
every district, the mountain ranges, towns, and the
general view of the country which is o? such absorb?
ing interest to the newspaper reading public The
entire war situation is shown on this map.
The Map of the Whole of Africa shows the partition
of the continent among the European nations by dif?
ferent colors. The great extent of England's posses?
sions may be seen at a glance- this nation now con?
trols, and in fact actually almost surrounds the two
South African Republics. The great interests at stake
are shown at a glance.
The V,ap of the World shows every political divis?
ion in a separate color. In the margins of the map
are given atea and population of every division, every
colony, every island group?in fact, every portion of
the wo: Id.
A Map of the island of Luzon is without doubt the
finest ever published in this country. Provinces are
outlined and named, also rivers, creeks, and villages,
and the topography of this country is distinctly indi?
cated. A\aps have been sold in this country for $4 or
more which were not so valuable for general inform^
tion.
A Map of the Philippine Islands.?This map shows
every island included in the archipelago, with the prin?
cipal rivers, mountains and towns. An inset map of
Manila Bay is given, showing the surrounding country
as far north as Tarlac, giving wagon roads, etc,
A Map of Hawaiian Islands?shows craters of the
various volcanoes and other interesting detail', includ?
ing distances to various parts of the world.
A Map of Cuba shows the provinces in separate
colors; all railways and principal towns are indicated.
Accompanying this map of Cuba is an.inset map of
the West Indies, showing the various islands, and indi?
cating by colors the nationality of each.
A Map of Puerto Rico, a country in which the
American people are especially interested, is shown on
a scale of twelve miles to the inch. This is without
doubt the finest map of Puerto Rico ever published in
this country.
A Map Showing the Territorial Growth of the
United States_The limits of these various divisions
are shown by heavy red lines, and the map forms an
objeft lesson on the territorial growth of our country.
This map in itself is worth many times the price of
ihe Atlas.

ter you incinse was from a firm ot pi?

Mr. Kipling is glad to learn that you are

To this "amusing" noto the publishers
responded as follows: "In forwarding
you the letter from America addressed
to our care we thought we were doing
a courteous act. "We ?lid not know from
whom it came, but "oeeause it was 'from
