BOOKS AND THOSE THEM
WHO MAKE
ENOCH KNIGHT
A writer ln the last Dial makes an
assault upon "The lied Badge of Cour
age"that Is as splenetic as it Is specious.
He says what is untrue when he de
clares that it has only been praised
here because it was praised in England;
and he is at fault at almost every point
of attack. This book has a quiet lit
erary quality that (his assailant can do
little towards demolishing. The ex
periences ot a green boy In the opening
days of a great conflict are probably bet
ter told in it than lhey ever have been
before,. Such an assault Is not criti
cism.
U « «
Hero Is one of the frankest and most
refreshing utterances that ever crept
into a story—from The Comedy of Ce
celia.: "1 told Walter that If he did not
give me my freedom within six months,
1 should have to take It. He would nol
listen to mo at Hist, but when 1 argued
with him about it for two or three days
he said he had no objection to take it
Into consideration. In four months
from that time he was dead, ttnd his last
words were to ask me if 1 were satis
fied. I said 1 had never suggested go-
Ing to extremes, but he was SO literal."

IN BEAUTIFUL BOHEMIA There
is much misconception, it seems, about
Bohemia. It is not a region and time
in which men die of debauch or starve
ln stiff abstenslon and gentility. Hut it
Is a region and a season wherein in some
sin, but not the kid that kills, some
purgatory, but not the kind thai always
purilier., and some discipline, but not
the kind that sours and destroys the
heart and the hopes. There is much
roysterlng and rhyming, much 1 r and
smoke and badly kept nights; and yet
Bohemia is beautiful, tor it means youth
and strength and high hopes and free
dom from the worth's that tear the
nerves apart and make tbe fibres in the
flesh to stand on end. It is poverty and
privation, but they do not destroy, and
the dreams and aspirations of ibis
strange domain pave tin; way for the
Sobrieties of middle age and all that
must follow.
And Bohemia has Its calms and con
tentments. Who was it who sang?
"I dwelt In a City enchanted,
And lonely. Indeed, was my lot:
Two guineas a week, all 1 wanted,
Was certainly all that I got.
Well, SOtaehow, I found it was plenty,
Perhaps you may find it lb" same.
If—if you art? .Inst flve-and-twenty.
Very much of the same way of think
ing was dear old Thackery, who dwelt
in Bohemia and wrote of It:
"With pensive eyes t he lit t le room T view.
Where, lv my youth, 1 weathered It so
long:
With a wild mistress, a staunch friend or
two,
And a light heart still breaking into song:
Making a mock of life and all Its cares,
Rich In the glory of my rising sun.
Lightly I vaulted up four pair of stairs
In th" brave days when i was twenty
one."
There Is something very touching,
very human In Bohemian tradition. Of
the waywardness and vices the world
loves to be charitable, for life Is larger
and better than a single estate in it or
of It. Who lays up against the young
person who Is lacking in thrift or even
sobriety, if only these came of youth
and its passing show? Would the world
have cared more for Goldsmith if he had
never wandered abroad and even sung
for bread at the wayside innn? Would
there have In en a tenderer memory for
Burns if Jo hail never rollicked before
the blaz* * log In the days and nights
when he w ,s in his twenties? Somehow
the world feels that youthful shinning
and suffering for It go together and
square each other iv the matured make
up of later years; and thus, though
Bohemia may be a region of dreadful
darkness lo those who have always been
the children of light, it has be, en beauti
ful to many, and will ever Ik—nor docs
it often quit.' kill at the worst.

GLORIFYING THK NOVELIST —We
love, of all things, to be amused. Se
rious study of tine, strong works we
do not Indulge in as a rule, for It is
working for facts anil helps that we
can get second hand or go without them.
The Dial has a very Interesting arti
cle on this subject, whose conclusions
do not Sattter us as a nation, though
they are evidently just. It draws a
. comparison between what has been
dohe for the world by Mr. Rider Hag
gard and Herbert Spencer, and then
compares what the world has done for
them respectively. A few rather low
grade novels—certainly not a high
grade of Motion- have brorught to their
author more material help than forty
years of the best work the world of
Bclencj has ever seen earned for him
who built up a magnificent edifice of
thought, a monument that will lasts for
all time in the realm of the best litera
ture.
Hut not only do we neglect the wholly
good and great in literature and grlve
ourselves up to novel reading, but we
read the poorest, if it be new, and cry
out for more, it is this poor standard
that we are responsible for, because we
have made It. Of this phase of the sub
ject the article says and says truly:
"Prof. Hrander Matthews, In a recent
magazine artlcele, draws an ingenious
parallel between the art of novel writ
ing and the game of whist. Dr. Pole
recognizes four stag'-s in the evolution
of whist, the primitive game, the game
oi Hoyle, the philosophical game and
the latter-day improvements. Four
stages not dissimilar to these may be
recognized in ihe evolution of the novel
Prof. Matthews dubs them Ihe impossi
ble, the improbable, the probable and
the inevitable stages. The Arabian
Nights, Les Trois Mousquetaires, Van
ity Fair and the Scarlet Letter are given
as examples of the four kinds of fiction
But, just as all four forms of the game
are still practiced by different sets of
players, the latter having failed to dis
place tho earlier ones, so all ihe four
forms of fiction are still produced by
different sets of writers, and each stiil
tinds its own public. The parallel is
interesting and reasonably jusiiiied by
the facts, but Its formulator should have
added that there is.and always has been
a fifth kind of Motion corresponding to
the variety of whist known as bumble
puppy. And our pride in the develop
ments that th c art of fiction
has unquestionably made during
the last half century must
be considerably tempered when
we relleet that the great mass of modern
novels comes from writers who do not
play the genie in accordance with the
rules of any system, primitive of phil
osophical, in a word, tbe ascendancy
of fiction In our hvlt< r day literary pro
duction is not altogether the mark of
a heightened appreciation or art
Tbe triumph of the novelist is to a con
siderable degree a triumph or inepti
tude over ability, of lower over higher
Ideals, of slovenly over painstaking
workmanship, of incoherence and dis
proportion over measured and organic
art.

THR REDS OF THE MIDR. An'epl
sode of the French Revolution,
translated from the Provencal of
Felix Gras. By Catherine A. Jan

Here Is a story of marvelouos power
and directness, all in one of the most
Striking stories of the French Revolu

great French romance, finely trans

the Marseilles battalion straight to cap
ture the king's castle, and what befell
that bod;, of men In their wild crusade.
Nothing run exceed the simplicity and

PIRATE GOLD. Hy F. J. Stimson (J
8. of Dale). Houghton, Mltllln &
Co.. Boston.
This is a v eritable story about some
pirate gold that mysteriously came to
Huston iv the early part of the present
century, and is di\ hied Into three parts.
Discovery, Robbery and Recovery, it
begins with Old Hoston and ends with
those terrible days when Anthony
Burns, the fugitive slave, was taken
buck to slavery despite all the abolition
ists could do to save him —those days
that were the be;: inning of the end of
the irrespresslble conflict between free
dom and serfdom.
The portrayal of James Bowdoin,the
merchant-banker, ami Jamie Murtagh,
the old clerld could hardly be better,
while Mercedes, the child of the pirate
captain, around whom the story con
stantly circles, is a clearly drawn ttnd
Very real character.
There are points in the early porlions
of the story when the reader feels that
somehow the construction Is bungling
and faulty, but further along towards
the end the action is even and consist
ent, and the whole ends with real ef
fectiveness. It is a. wholesome story,
full of Incident and rich In material.
The closing scenes that picture the
struggles of Jamie Murtagh to recover
tbe adopted child, whom he bad so loved
and suffered for, are full of genuine
pathos In short. Pirate Gold Is one of
the clean, strong stories that one loves
to commend to everybody and especial
ly to al! readers who can appreciate
the traces of old New England in It.

AN ART FAILURE. By John W. Hard
ing and F. Tennyson Neely. For sale
by stoll ri Thayer.
This is a stirring story of the Latin
quarter of Paris as it is today, it is a
handsome volume with profuse Illus
trations of a Capital kind.
The story opens with an account of
n scene in the Parndls dcs Almees, be
ing enacted by the usual boisterous and
nondescript company assembled to cel
ebrate New Year's eve. The most of
the male actors in the night's drama
were admirers and followers of Ver
laine, high priest of Deeademsin And of
Mallarme—"men who wear long hair
and baggy trousers tight at the ankles,
declaim their own verse and court the
divine afflatus in the absinthe and
bocks."
The !nc , s t interesting figure of this thor
oughly live story is Charles Burroughs,
an American artist. There is rapid and
varied action In the book throughout,
and the attention of the reader Is held
to the end by the changing situations.

TOM GROQAN. By F. Hopkinson
Smith, author of "A Gentleman
Vagabond," Colonel Carter of Car
tersvllle," etc. Beautifully printed and
botinsl In n strikingly artistic style.
Illustrated with nineteen designs
by C. S. Keinhart. Crown Bvo, $1.50.
The easy nnd delightful spirit of fun
that ran through the earlier stories by
this author has changed In this one
into a sturdier and more serious current,
albeit fun is still lurking about and
often summoned in. We have in Tom
Grogan a stronger theme and a more se
rious mood than were exhibited in
Colonel Carter of Cartersville or in A
Gentleman Vagabond, it is a story with
a purpose, a lesson und a moral. It
deals with tough men and threats, and
the brazen walking delegate. In a
word, it is a striking story of the day,
in which all the ability of a true artist
is shown. It is more of a book than
Mr. Smith has ever esssayed before,
and Is a broader and more notable suc
cess. In fact, it is a distinct advance
that puis the author into another class
and his works into a higher grade.
It will not. please everybody, but
but it is in most ways not only the best
work ever done by him, but it is one of
the great books of the year, as seems to
be agreed by the clitics.
Among the notices of the book one
of the most appreciative and just is
the following from the Outlook:
Mr. Hopkinson Smith's latest story,
Tom Grogan, Is distinctly the strongest
piece of work which has come from his
hand. It was read with growing inter
est by n host of the l eaders of the Cen
tury Magazine, who felt Its vitality
and appreciated its humor. It is a
Btu.dy of local life under exciting condi
tions, a chapter torn from the history
of the labor agitation and the industri
al revolution. The writer's interest cen
ters, not in the revolution or the agita
tion, but in the plucky, very human
woman who admirably fulfills the
duly of the heroine, and in the group
of men with whom she contends and
whose plots and antagonism she sue
ci asfully meets. There are, of course,
many other sides of the question which
has come to the front In this store.
Mr. Smith has seized one side, but he has
shown the characteristic quality of the
artist in keeping the question subordin
ate and the concrete fact to the front.
He Is dealing with persons and inci
dents, not with abstractions or with
general propositions. The peculiar
quality of the story is Its vitality, Its
first-hand portraiture of life. The men
and women who figure In the tale are
drawn with a few vigorous and sharply
defined strokes. Every one Is clearly
realized and stands out before the read
er Without any wavering or uncertain
ty of outline. As for Tom herself it
must he frankly conceded that, what
ever view one may take of labor unions
find walking delegates, she ha.s won the
hearts ol: all her readers and their sym
pathies as well. She Is both brave and
real. She not only might have hap
pened, but she actually did happen It
Is such portraiture that makess liter
ature.

cst reading In the whole magazine, from
a litreary standpoint, outside ot what
directly pertains to new books and crit
icism. Is Some Memories of Hawthorne,
by Rose Hawthorne Lathrop , from
which we quote this choice hit of de
scription of their neighbor, Thoreau,
who often dropped In upon the family
In their Concord house:
"Another peculiar spirit now and then
haunted us, usually sad as a pine tree —
Thoreau. Hls enormous eyes, tame with
religious intellect and wild with the
loose rein, making a steady flash In this
strange unison of forces, frightened me
dreadfully at first. The unanswerable
argument which he unwittingly made to
soften my heart towards him was to
fall desperately ill. During his long ill
ness my mother lent him our sweet old
music box, which softly dreamed forth
its tunes in a mellow tone. When he
died It seemed as if an anemone, more
lovely than any other, had been carried
form the borders of a wood into its si
lent depths and dropped, ln solitude and
shadow, among the recluse ferns and
mosses which are so seldom disturbed
by passing feet. Son of freedom and
opportunity that he was, he touched
the heart by going to nature's peaeeful
ness like the saints, and girding upon
his American sovereignity the hair-shirt
of service to self-denial. Walden woods
rustled the name of Thoreau whenever
we walked In them."

GOOD ADVICE
"Advice is Cheap" They Say, But Walter C. Bingham Received a
Little That He Values Very Highly
A Prominent Young Journalist Who Was Fortunately Advised to Seek
Relief From the Proper Source
Driven From Home
I came to California last July." said Walter C. Bingham of Burbank, Cali
fornia, "to try your famous climate.
"1 was almost a wreck from lung trouble, contracted in the 'Rainy Lake re
gion' while special correspondent for the Chicago Inter-Ocean. My home phy
sicians said that my trouble would soon run into consumption if I didn't find a
mild climate and proper treatment.
"The foothills at Burbank seemed to answer every requirement of tempera
ture and dryness, so I took up my residence there and waited patiently for the
promised relief. After four months of vain waiting I determined to consult the
leading physicians of Los Angeles, and was advised to call on the English and
German Expert Specialists in the Byrne building. It was certainly good ad
vice, for I feel like a new man today. My cough has ceased entirely; the pain in
my lungs is gone, and I have gained 20 pounds in six weeks. lean soon return to
my work, and shall never cease to praise the skill of the English and German Ex
pert Specialists, who have been my friends In need.
Gratefully, W. C. BINGHAM.
The testimony of Mr. Bingham, as published here, is only one of the hundreds
of grateful letters that come to us from all over California, and prove our claim
that live legitimate specialists are better able to cure chronic disease than any
one physician of specialist.
Our motto is—Not one dollar accepted unless we can afford you relief.
Incorporated for $250,000 under the state laws of California. The most per
fectly equipped medical noil surgical institute ln the west. A staff of five expert
specialists to examine each case free of charge.
Where can you equal it ? A special Ist for each class of chronic diseases and
deformity, with free consultation, enables the afflicted to find relief after years
of failure with other physicians.
If you cannot call, write for question list and our new guide to health.
Consultation always free.

Prlmarle. in England and America
Here in America everything is wrong
from the start. Influential citizens will
! not attend the primaries because they
' know It is absolutely useless for them
Ito do so. "The primary." said Dr. Boyd,
j "is wholly a matter of ring rule. A set
of men want to carry a certain point at
a nominating convention, and another
! set of men want to defeat It. Each be
[ gins operations at the primary by seek
ing to secure a certain list of delegates
Ito the convention. Now, when the dls
• interested citizen goes to the primary
be is handed two ballots representing
the two rings. On each ballot are the
names of a few men, to give color of
respectability to the ticket, whom he
would like to vote for. But the major
ity of names on either ballot are those
of men who have been placed there to
be manipulated by the bosses. What
shall he do? If he votes either ticket
he is playing into the hands of a clique.
If he votes an isolated ticket it amounts
to nothing. The primary, as it is now
conducted, Is a sham and a fraud. It
is the determining factor in our poli
tics, and yet Is wholly in the hands of
designing men. But the British meth
od of nominating men to office defeats
this chicanery. When any ten citizens
may nominate a man to the city council
the citizens will have at least the chance
at the polls to vote for a clean man. And
were this the case, thousands of voters
who now stay away from the ballot box
would lay aside all else to go and help
elect the right man to office."—From a
sermon by Rev. W. W. Boyd.
