(Richard G. Badger.) In a very attractive volume Mr. Wil liam Hurd Hlllyer, of Atlanta, has com piled a number of hla delightful pneine and verses. "Song* of the Steel Age" Is a notabls production and It has re ceived from the hands of discriminat ing critics of poetry very much merit ed praise. In speaking of some recent ly published poetry, the reviewer of The New York Times Saturday review of books, In a late Issue of that stand ard weekly, said some very commenda tory and gratifying things of Mr. Hlll- yer's work. The reviewer In question ranksd Mr. Hillyer's poems far ahead of the usual present-day poetic publi cations. "Songs of the Steel Age" consists of a number of charming poems, which evi dence unmistakable genius and that subtle poetic power which differentiates the poet from the simple verse-maker. Those songs which give to the hook Its title deal with thoughts upon the stren uous work of the men at the front In our Industrial world, such as engineers of railway trains, pressmen, telegraph linemen and so on. These poems are very virile and forceful. In addition to the poems mentioned, there are many tuneful verses In the book. Special of note should bs mentioned those under the sub-titles of "Golden Arrows." 'Roars of Iran." "Fleurs de Lys," ‘Atellan" and "Atlantis." A great many of these verses have been published In such auperior maga- alnes ns Harper's Monthly, Llppln- cott'a Magailne. Munsey's publications and the Century. The whole collection of Mr. Hillyer's work Is of .very rare excellence, and It la a great pleasure and source of pride to note end call to tha attention bf lovers of genuine poetry (of which there are many,) this very superior literary efTnrt of un At lanta man. The book la very hand somely produced and la a beautiful ad dition to any library. WILLIAM HURD HILLYER. • Whose recent book of poems, ■'Sungs of the Steel Age," la meet ing with the approbation of critics and renders. "DEVOTA* By Augustn Evans WII. son. (G. W. Dillingham Co.) The mere statement that Mrs. Augusta Evans Wilson has written another book cause* great Interest, of course, but when "Devota." a nhort story from her gifted pen, comes to us In all of her glory—her at'tllt'c. charming lire so and her pleasing fascinarins • pereonallty— It Is a groat literary event. The T-b" Ushers of "Devota” have also accom plished a benuttful piece of work. It looks more like a holiday Christmas time book than one we usually And at this season of the year. Whatever Mre. Wilson considers timely nnd worthy of the consideration of the'literary public, should be warm ly welcomed and cordially Indorsed by the most discriminating readers. There Is a singular charm appertaining to the life of thla brilliant Southern novelist, dutslde of her rare Intellectual attain ments. Springing from a long line of cultivated men and women, Mrs. WII- has Illustrated their beautify! vir tues mid their unusual mental attri butes through the many years in which ■he has been a conspicuous nnd distin guished factor In the social life of Mo. bile. Her handsome home on "Govern ment street Is a treusure house of beautiful pictures, valuable books, ele gant old mahogany furniture nnd arti cles of virtu representing many years of travel and a broad and generous cul tivation, combined with certain herodl- tars' privileges. As Is well known, Mrs. Wilson’s first novel, "Ine*,” was written when the au thor was only 18 years of age, and was presented by her to her father, who md not suspected his brilliant young daughter's literary aspirations. In the subsequent years Mrs. Wilson wrote with remarkable facility.! yet evidenc ing marvelous growth nnd research, many novels which brought to her large financial returns and a merited BEST EVER OFFERED $31.30 ROUND TRIP $31.30 JAMESTOWN EXPOSITION LOOK AT THE ROUTE Going via Cincinnati, Pittsburgh or Cleveland; Rail or Boat to Buffalo, Niagara Falls; Boat Down the Hudson River, New York City; Boat to Norfolk, or Rail via Philadelphia, Baltimore, Washington; Boat Down Potomac River RETURNING DIRECT Liberal Stop-over Privileges Allowed All Information and Tickets City Ticket Office, No. 4 Peach Tree St. fame, which became International in it* far-reaching scope. Perhaps no Amer ican author hns had her work trans lated Into so many foreign languages as has Mrs. Wilson. New that "De vota" has been given to the reading world In the sweet and mellow years of Mrs. Wilson’s lengthening life. It be comes an event of far more than or dinary Interest and concern. Although the story Is not a long one, It evidences a literary strength and a rare intel lectual power equal to any earlier work of thla gifted Southern woman. Age has but ripened and made richer her remarkable genius. The South now rightfully boasts of a number of young women whose achievements along llt- orar.v lines have brought them Into enviable rivalry with the best writers of this day of many book*, but the gen. tie passing of years has failed to di minish the hrnadth and power of Mrs. Wilson's Ifit'ellcct nor have they lessen! ed the charm and fascination of her facile pen. The plot of "Devota" Is In no sense complicated. It la. simply the romance of two strong character* with lofty Ideals and an unswerving purpose to “reach the heights" morally and In tellectually. "Devota," n solf-contalned young woman with feelings under powerful control, had loved a promising young politician years before. By not break ing a promise to keep silent at a cru cial moment, thla youthful statesman, hail Iicen placed under a very dark cloud, not only In the eyes of the pub lic. hut more especially In the opinion of the woman who mhe loved. The latter cast him off. The young politi cian emerges In time from the shadow with truth and faith vindicated and becomes the governor of his state. The book opens twelve ot thirteen years after Ills estramiement from "Devota," when she Is Induced to go to the gov ernor to Intercede for the life of a hus band of a friend who had been con demned, to, death. It was thus Mrs. Wilson adroitly brings the old lovers together with the enevltable result. The hook ends with the charming girl In the arms of .her lover—never to leave them any more. It Is a simple tale that Mrs. Wilson tells, told In a rarely bril liant faahlon. and many questions of public nnd political Interest arc re markably well discussed Incidentally. But It Is In the delineation of her char acters, the fine drawing of the situa tions, the descriptions of the best and worthiest social life to which the au thor Herself has always' been accus tomed, that she excel*. One feel* that of the ;;!i.,.cr'Parties, eyen to the ar rangement of the flowers, silver and glass, that Mrs. Wilson speaks (Is one of authority. "Devota" A'lll add If any thing could, to the already great lit erary reputation of Mrs, Wilson and will give much pleasure to those who are fortunate enough to read this In teresting hook. •LANGFORD OF THE THREE BARS.” By Kate nnd Virgil D. Boyle*. (A. C. McClurg & Co.) "Langford of the Three Bars" Is a pretty good story of ranch life In the West. It really 1* so dlfilcult or seems so from the numerous Weatern stories which are published these duys nnd from which we are compelled Jo Judge, that to catch that elusive Western at mosphere—that life In tlfe open—of great distances, etc.. Is more than a hard Job. "Langford of the Three Bars" has. to a great extent, within Its pages brought to our attention the atmosphere of the desert country that seems to elude many writers of West ern stories. The trouble about moat Western stories I* that the plot of all of them If, practically the same. In all of them « have the cowboys, the des ert country, the cattle-rustlers, train robbers, etc., and to make a »tor,v writ ten about the West Interesting and dif ferent the author Is compelled to grasp the "atmosphere" to make his story Worth the telling. In "Langford of the Three Bars" we have practically the same plot that -Is. served to us con tinually by writers of Western tales, but Judged by one who has lived In the West and who has to a certain ex tent come In contact with the Western manner of men, "Langford of the Three Bars” Is way ahead of most of the pseudo-Western tales. To gain only this Is a great feat. Alt the prospec- live book buyer has to do to fix hla mind on thla.point, namely, the enor mous number of false Western tales published. Is-to xa-alk Into any book seller's place and see the shelves lined with libels against that fascinating country—fascinating, however, to some people only when In their pockets are return railroad tickets to "God’s coun try." "Longford of the Three Bars" Is sim ply a story In which Paul Langford, owner of a largo ranfh and a great number of cattle, starts In to put an end to cattle rustling in his part of South Dakota. In this fight lie I* aid ed by the county attorney. Richard Gordon, In addition to which Is the upright, unbuyable Judge, Ills niece, the court clerk, and a few others out In Dakota, not Influenced by the purchas ing power of the cattle thieves. As was very proper and convenient, Dick Gordon fell In love with Louise, the niece of the Judge of his court, who was acting as the court stenographer. Paul Langford fell In love with Mary Wllliaton, nnd If the book t* telling the truth, Paul married Mary. All well ami good. Dick Gordon was net far behind -Paul Langford, not only In his pursuit and punishment of the cattle mailer*, but In hi* love-making, for hen the book ends, while Paul Is Just waking up to the beauty «• asking Mary to share his heart and home at the "Three Burs,” Dick Gordon has "DR. J. WEIR MITCHELL.' been Louise's husband, for five months. In tho end, after much tribulation, disappointments, etc.. Dick Gordon as the legal representative of South Da kota prosecutes successfully and con victs the troublesome cattle rustlers. The plot of the story, as before stat ed. amounts to very little, but when ever a story written of the Western desert, be It South Dakota. Colorado. New Mexico or Arizona, really catches the “atmosphere," or even a part of It, say Just a zephyr, the credit should be given and loudly spoken, tool “Lang ford of the Three Bars" Is one of the best Western stories written In a long time. To one who has spent any tlms In the West, on ranches, among the cow boys, etc., books filled with long conversations. garulous byplay of words between Western people In the books today published, is most surpris ing. As before stated In these columns. It Is a most unusual thing to see a lot of cow boys hold long conversations, for after a day's work these men, as a rule, come Into the camp fire, sit down and from supper to bed time never open their mouths, except possibly to borrow a match. Trus It la, or was reported, that on the desert of Nevada some time since, five men were killed In a quarrel over the pronunciation of the word "paresis." still that case was a very unusual one and to read Western stories In which there are long speeches from the cow men. It always (Ills with wonder the reader as to Just where the author se cured his Western types. Great dis tances and high mountains create a se vere economy of speech. The authors of “Langford of the Three Bars evi dently have lived In the West, anj while their cow men are rather talka tive—too much so—to be really true to life, the book Is one of the best of the Western stories. "CONGRESSMAN PUMPHREY, THE PEOPLE’S FRIEND," by John T. MeCutcheon. (Bobbs-Msrrlll Compa ny.) The well-known cartoonist, Mr. John T. MeCutcheon. of The Chicago Tribune, has In his "Congressman Pumphrey, the People's Friend." drawn a lot of very telling pictures, and along with the pictures he has written some entertaining prose. ' In this book Mr. MeCutcheon seems to. have caricatured a breed of politicians (Speaker Cannot), of the United States house of repre sentatives, to the contrary notwith standing) who, pleading for vbtes to send him to congress, arrives In Wash ington tn due time to become either a nonentity or a tool of "predatory weulth.” All of u* have heard so often from candidates Just what they were going to do "to 'em” when they got to Washington, so that Mr. McCutchcon’s bright little-book seems to express Ih a story Just what a great, many constitu ents feel about their members of con gress. who furnish, their districts noth ing better than garden seed and padded notes In the Washington Carrest)anci ents' telegrams to the home papers. "Congressman Pumphrey, the Peo ple's Friend,” Is the story of Mr. Pum- phrey, who promises everything to his constituent*. He arrives In Washing ton, Is taken In charge by Senator Oc topus and a few other "nice" people, alao a female lobbyist tries her hatul on Pumphrey and the changes In Pum- phroy’s viewpoint are quite remarkable. Some newapaper friend visit* Pum phrey, then returns to Pumphrey’* home town, where both lived, and In an editorial Pumphrey is (to say the least) worsted. Through his "dear friend," tho Senator Octopus, Pumphrey muffles the editor’s vole* and when the book closes Pumphrey Is brought to the point where he sees distinctly that he will have to decide between tils constit uents and Senator Octopus' designing bill against the poor "common people, non- In the hoSse of representatives, and upon which! Pumphrey Is expected to vote favorubl*. Congressman Pum phrey lx left In tie closing pages In th* book, attempting* to decide where lies his best Interest,(not his constituents' Interest)—oh. noe-but what will bene fit In the end—CA-igretaman Pumphrey the most. V "Uncle Joe" Camion, speaker of the United States lioupe of representatives, say* In an introduction to Mr. Me- Cutcheon’s bright {title bonk with car toon* that "CongrAsmen Pumphrey" ts more than an unknown quantity to him and to Washington.
