(Done Into print by The Roycrofter* at their ahop, which le In Boat Aurora, Erie county, New York, memvll.) Every now and then somebody take.s n filng In print at Fra Elbertu*—Elbert Hubbard—but It !■ very noticeable that ■ h* attack* are without effect upon Oils erratic genius. Distance not only "robes the mountain In Its asure hue; but It weakens a blow, not over-strong ♦ von In the beginning of Its speed Those fault-finding critics suggest tlK crowd that occasionally rush Into print nt the expense of Thomas E. Watson. ■ >f our own good state of Georgia. When Mr. Watson gets through with the « rowd of attackers, well—there Isn't| much left of the crowd. Mr. Elbert Hubbard has written a de- ghtful appreciation of his wife and c alled It 'White Hyacinths.” It would be a beautiful tribute from any man to his wife, and in reading It the pleas! ure Is, that In the mind and heart of] the reader comes the thought that[ White Hyacinths" Is a great compli ment, not only to Mrs. Alice Hubbard, but to all useful, helpful women. The tribute to all good women Is there, and the reader. If he has eyes to see and mind to digest, will locate It and enjoy the book thoroughly. The volume Is beautifully gotten up; It is simply ra •specimen pf the exquisite bookbinding !^f the Roycfofters. In addition to JnYhlte Hyacinths.” there are several either short essays, every one of which (as everything that Mr. Hubbard writes, whether you agree with him or not), makes you think. If he does notl do anything else, he stirs the reader upl and that Is a most difficult thing to do with the average person. | Mr. Hubbard closes his "White Hya cinths” with the following paragraph, applicable to all true and loyal wives:! , v "I married a rich woman—one rich in lore, loyalty, gentleness, Insight, gratitude, appreciation: one who caused me at ft years of age to be born again To this woman I owe nil I am. and t«| her the world owes Its gratitude for any or all, be It much or little, that Ir have given It. My religion Is all in myl ■wife’s name. And I am not a bankrupt for all she has In mine. If I can use It. and In a degree I have. And why I prise life and desire to live Is that I may give the world more of the treas ures of her heart- and mind, realising with perfect faith that the supply com ing from Infinity can never be lessened nor decreased.” "LORD CAMMARLEIGH'S SE CRET.” By Roy Hornlman. (Little. Brown A Co.) There was a young chap In London, by name Anthony Brooke, who had failed at every undertaking, business or otherwise. He had been, and was still, attempting to be an actor; be bad, of course, written stories (everybody writes stories nowadays, so the maga- xlne editors say), and Anthony Brooke, handsome, bright and uudaclous, found himself one morning In London, about to starve to death. Passing Along the street, Anthony had a good look at Lord Cammarlelgh, who Is bidding goodbye to a lovely young woman In her car riage In front of Lord Cammarlelgh's town house. This one look at Lord Cammarlelgh and his peculiar eye movement fills Anthony Brooke with the Idea that here Is a man who hns some terrible secret. As Lord Cam marlelgh enters hts home, Anthony rushes up to him and In a stage whisper tells Lord Cammarlelgh. "I know- your secret.” Lord Cammarlelgh grew livid and staggered ■ back against the door pillar. From this beginning then tho story of "Lord Cammarlelgh's Secret” runs. Lord Cammarlelgh must have had soma secret. Judging by his conH duct then and afterwards, but of course Anthony Brooke did not know what It was, but he bluffs the lord duke into making him (Anthahy) his secretary; Into paying hlin a large salary and cosh down; allowing him to have rooms at his town house, and to run the lord duke, his home and the whole place generally, as the book continues to ■bow In Its delightfully audacious and! most Intsrssttng plot. The sub-title to tha book Is “A Fairy Tale of Today,” but with ail of Its Improbability andl halr-breadth escapes (for Anthony) tha author makes his story not only very entertaining, but very plausible as well. Lord Cammarlelgh ha* a beautiful niece, who, while loving Anthony, pro poses to marry a duke. Thus the heart interest Is brought Into the story, andl the way that Anthony manages Lady Sybil Is so charming In Its finesse thnt even If there were not much else In "Lord Cammarlelgh's Secret” but this love duel, the book would be somewhat fascinating. The reader being Informed! at ths beginning that the story‘Is a fairy tale, he readily accepts many of 'You can't afford to continue at the wife of this fellow." Tage 305 “She had a real manner/’ Chloe said, “in showing thsm in.” Illustration from “The Domestic Adventurers.” the Improbabilities of the story. oriy*“ Of J course AnthoriV Brooke In time wins Lady Sybil; he makes a new man out of Lord Cammarlelgh, from a crusty old miser to an open-hearted nobleman. Anthony reunites the different members of Cammarlelgh's family; gets himself elected to parliament, with an income of £7.000 por annum, given him by Lord Cammarlelgh to keep the latter's secret, which he has never had. and the book ende at the wedding of An thony and Lady Sybil. As Anthony drives from the church he mokes known to Lord Cammarlelgh that he had never held any secret. Anthony Brooke Is a refreshing character. Lady Sybil Is a charming heroin# and In manner of mental bias and thoughts expressed very much on the order of many young ladles of today. She is a satisfactory typo.* "Lord Cammarlelgh* Secret” Is one of the moat entertaining stories of a light order that has been written in a long time. It will hold the Interest of the reader from beginning to end. Then, too, unlike many Interesting books, it is unusually well written: the style of composition Is pleasing and attractive. “8ANTA FE’S PARTNER.” By Thomas A. Janvier, tHarper Brothers). To thoroughly enjoy "Santa Fe's Part ner,” It Is not necessary that the read er shall have lived In the wild and woolly West. On the contrary, reading of that bright book Is much better than even u trip west now, and much more so tlmn nt the time of the happenings In New Mexico, some thir ty years ago. ho charmingly desert lied In "Santa Fe’a Partner.” The book consista of short stories, all Joined together to make u complete whole, of the experiences of n lot of rough men and women nt a llttlo town In New Mexico named Palomltas. The time of the story Is about thirty years ago when the A. T. & S. I*, fly. halted In construction work in New Mexico on account of luck of funds. Palomltas, a little mining town nt the end of the railroad, was filled with all sorts and conditions of men—and women. There were gamblers, cowboys, barkeepers, stage drivers and railroad employees now out of work. Bantu Fe <'hurley Is a gambler who, like Bret liarte'.H great character, wears the clothes of a preacher, hns a smooth tongue and cold eye and bruin. Pnnta Fe's partner Is a young woman who lias drifted Into Palomltas from nobody knows where— sin* Is a born actress; she falls in love with Hanta Fe Charley and the book Is filled with stories of the devilment, practical Jokes and gnnies perpetrated by Santa Fe Charley and bis partner, called by th« Inhabitants of Palomltas "The Huge Brush Hen.” There are all kinds of things happening In the book, from a mock lynching to frighten an English bondholder of the railroad, the bunting of a mock mountain lion, the make-believe kindergarten of Palomiv tns to hoodwink an old maid from New England, to the final awakening of the better people of the town of Palomltas to the Importance of getting rid Hanta Fe Charley and the Sago Brush Hen for the town's good. Even then these two scamps outwit the vigilant committee. Of course the reader wl Instinctively recall Bret Harte In his reading of "Hanta Fe's Partner,” but not to the discredit of Mr. Janvier. Tho book Is most amusing; It Is one of the best pictures of the West In the old days, now so long gone by, and the reader will thoroughly enjoy it from the beginning to the end. There are so many hooks written these days about the West us It Im now and as It was long ago, that when a story Is published that rings true, It should be appreciated ns there is no doubt "Bantu Pri Partner” will be. “THE DOMESTIC ADVENTUR ERS.” By Josephine Duskam Bacon. (Charles Scribner's Hons.) There ure no doubt times when the reader, worn with books, pleasant In the reading and wonderful In their strength, will long for a light "between the acts” story. "The Domestic Adventurers" Is one of the best books that could be found and read for such a purpose. It brings both enjoyment and relaxation. It Is very pleasingly written and it Is light-and charming. The story simply deals with three bachelor maids who take a cottage Just outside of New York. -One of the wom en Is the editor of a magazine, the oth- the housekeeping woman of the three, and last but not nt nil least Is Chloe, who causes all of the trouble and much of the Interest In the book. The story Is xupimsod to have been written by the housekeeper around her struggles with help, and the chapters or short tales are divided under the heads of the different servants engaged J and the experiences Incidental to their service. It is a very diverting book. Nothing heavy. Ju«t a first-class flller- In for an Idle hour. The story Is writ ten well, the half n dozen illustrations are very attractive and the whole vol ume Is handsomely gotten up. _There should he n good cull for "The Do (nestle' Adventures" everywhere, fo: the question of help is almost as uni versal us the negro problem, and to many of us Jt Is much more Important that nn enrty solution be reached of the former Issue, although both ques tlons are one and the same south of Mason’s and Dixon’s line. “SEMI RAM 18.” By Edward Peple. (Moffat. Yard A Co.) “SemlramU” Is a historical novel of great breadth und power. That Is a most difficult font to perform—the male Ing of a real character Interesting to present-day readers, out of a man or woman who lived thousands of years ago and who, In this Instancn, some au thorities say, never lived at ull. But Dr. Peple has created a most delightful hook out of the legends pertaining to "Hcinlramls” or "Hhammuramnt,” as she Is also known In legendary history. The Century Dictionary Is the au thority for the statement that accord ing to the Greek historiographers. Bern- Irumis was the wife of Xtnus, the founder of Nineveh. Hhe was the daughter of the Syrian goddess Derketo and was endowed with surpassing beauty and wisdom. She assumed the government of Assyria after her hus band *m death; built the city of Babylon with Its hanging gardens, the temple of Bel. and the bridge over the Euphrates; conquered Egypt, Ethiopia and Libya, ami organised a campaign against In dia: In short, everything murvelous In the orient was ascribed by the Greeks to this supernatural queen. These statements, according to the Century Dictionary, find no confirma tion In the cuneiform monuments. It Is possible, so the dictionary says, that there wo* some historical foundation for these legends as the name of Ham- murunmt occurs In the Inscriptions ns the queen of Hamman-Nlraii III. who reigned 811-782 B. C. Hhe Is the only Assyrian queen whose name is record ed on the monuments. Ho much for the history , regarding Bendramls. Dr. Pe ple has taken the legends of this most remarkable woman, and In his book, up to the time of her real beginning of war-like exploits, where his book ends, the author shows us Hemlramls as a woman, who loved, suffered and who punished. It Is one of the most charm ing books that has been written In a long time. The style of the composition quite on a plane with the theme, for Home parts of the book rend like blank verse. In the book there Is a story of n dog that alone Is worth more than the price of the book. Dr. Peple show’s us Hemlramls In love, terribly In love with Menon. a general under Nlnus, the king of Assyria. Hemlramls mar He*. Menon against the orders of the kin** who loves BeinlramlH himself. The king falsely tells Hemlramls that her hus band has been sent on an expedition with a hotly of troops, whereas Nlnus had crucified him in a dungeon of the citadel. The soldier who had been dressed In Menon’s armor to represent ( him is found dead anti Is burled by j Heniiraqits and Nlnus for Menon. while the poor husband lies wounded In the citadel. Then Nlnus in duo time mar ries Hemlramls and makes her queen of Tl ” MARRIAGE & MERLIN By CHARLES STOKES WAYNE . Mrs. Merlin, a rich widow, with no thought of love, bargains at a high price for a second husband, for companionship in her travels abroad. The com plex occurrences and final results are woven together in a brilliant marlher, mak ing it a book to be read with exquisite pleasure. 'Such character studies you sel dom find in any b6ok. It is not padded, but set in a delightful page to please the eye, and every page counts. It is a treat such as you can not often find. Handsomely Illustrated and Richly Bound in Cloth. 262 Pages. $1.25. G. W. Dillingham Company, Publishers, New York. Assyria. Soma years after Menon Is brought forth from prison more dead than alive, when the devil incarnate awakes in flemlramis to punish (which she did by death) the cruel King Nlnus. It Is the aim of the author to show that Hemlnunln by thl* cruelty of Nlnus had been chang*] from a loving, good woman into a fiend, after poor Menon, being crowned king, dies on the throne. Whatever the Idea was of Dr. Peple he has mode a most Interesting book out of hi* Imaginations and legends. One that will delightfully repay the time spent In Its reading. “THE MARHIAcTe”oF MR3. MER LIN," By Charles Stokes Wayne. (G. W. Dillingham Company.) Mr*. Merlin, a rich widow, was very . unhappy. Hhe had “dead loads” of money, hut she had found that money alone will not give the possessor peace of mind and happiness. Tnen. too, hay ing all of this money. Mrs. Merlin found herself the victim of u great many “fortune-hunterx,” who wished to nobly assist her In the management of her troublesome money. Ho It oc curred to Mrs. Merlin that, having money, the was entitled to happiness, If there was any In this world. The for tune-hunters bothered her moat of all and to circumvent these men she evolved an Idea, which seems so simple und still original that It in n wonder some rich woman lias not uted it be fore. That Idea was simply to buy her a dummy husband; one who would be known as her husband; attend to her wants; follow her directions; look handsome, and, most Important of all, keep the fortune-hunters away. Bo Mrs. Merlin makes a proposition to Dickie Blount, a young handsome Eng lishman, of no means, and nt thnt time rather under a cloud. The Idea being that Mrs. Merlin and Blount are to he married, something on the "absent treatment” plan,* and only for a certain length of time: later should the ar rangement not be agreeable to either party at Interest, a divorce could be se cured and nil would yet be well. This, ILLUSTRATION FROM “THE MARRIAGE OF MRS. MERLIN," then, was done. Mrs. Merlin became Mrs. Blount and the couple traveled all around the world having many expe rience* (naturally) under this different- from-most matrimonial tangles. Of course the reader can guess w’hat In time happened, If he (the reader) Is much addicted to the reading of ro mance wherein ft beautiful girl 1b thrown constantly with a superbly handsome man. The reader's Idea of romance will not be destroyed In "The Marriage of Mrs. Merlin.” for. of course, Mrs. Merlin, living apart ffom her hus band, but In the name hotel, begins to love him desperately, as he, of course, loves her. Then you see that each of the two parties to the contract fear to be the first one to tell the other that genuine love has come. 1 ■ ew.vyr m ihu 1 < wnwvwwf-'XBwmm THE THREE KINGS By DR.

This situation of affairs gives to the author a great opportunity to work upon the feelings of Mrs. Merlin - Blount and Dickie Blount, likewise his readers, and Mr. Wayne handles his plot very well. He has made an Inter esting story out of a very uncon ventional situation. Now*, just when it looks as if the two parties to the contract will not under stand each other as they should, they return to England. When one day driving in a motor car, Just when the tension is getting to a breaking point, theie two people are caught In the rain. They stop at a house for shel ter and the old woman therein greets Dickie thus: "Welcome home, n»y lord; welcome home to your own.” See the nnswer, do you, Mr. Reader? The answer Is that sonie of Dickie's kins men having conveniently died, Dickie Is the Right Honorable, the Earl of Hartsmere.” This Information brings on a Jong talk between Mrs. MerJIn Blount and Dickie; they love each oth er and now that they find It out life really begins. The book Is very In teresting and diverting, and should be a good seller. It Is light—a good “time killer” and the latter alone covers a multitude of sins. “JOHN KENDRY’S IDEA.” By Chester Bailey Fernald. (Outing Pub lishing Co.) Mr. Chester Bally Fer nald has taken a young chap with more money than brains and Jn a charming book called "John Kendry’s Idea,” he has interested us in the aforesaid young chap. To make a young brainless chap Interesting Is the work of an artist. Mr. Fernald has accomplished this dif ficult undertaking and in so doing has made "John Kendry’s Idea” a very pleasing, attractive story. The scene of the novel is laid in San Francisco. John Kendry. who is 24 years of age, has a whole lot of money, but he does not know what to do with It. John thinks that he Is In love with a woman who Is rich, also some seven or eight years his senior as to age. While John Is worrying with his idea, which is to do something with his in heritance different from what other peo ple have done with theirs, he is knocked In tho head one lovely day os he was walking up the mountain across the bay from Han Francisco—old Tamal- pals. A beautiful girl revives John. He tells the lovely creature all about his Idea the first thing. He Just can not hold this idea in where his brains ought to be. This beautiful girl is un der the lnffuence of a bad man; assist ed In htls Influence the bad man is by the pretty girl’s weak mother. One of the productions of John’s Idea is that this lovely girl, Ethel Murr. shall be removed from this Influence nnd he puts this Idea to work with the help of hi* friend, Mary Eastwood, the girl who Is older thun himself and whom ho thinks he loves. Paulter, the man who influences Ethel Mari', Is mixed up with some Chinese cttuntcrfelters. so this necessitates John Kendry’s going often to visit the Chinese Quar ter In San Francisco, wherein lives an old frjfcnri of John’s father, Chan Kew, who, by tha way, Is the host character In the book. From these del alls men tioned toe author has made u most readable book. Tho reaiier win almost weep over the author’s Insistence that John Kendry ever did have an idea of any sort, but the author is such an artist, he has written so charmingly of the people and of the life of San Fran cisco, that the reader will forgive tho Idea part of the story and become In** volved thoroughly and most pleasant* ly In the unraveling of the plot The descriptions of the Chinese Quarter in San Francisco are splendid. Ths character of Chan Kow is remarkably well drawn. The interest of the reader will be held from beginning to end. It Is a good clean story and Ethel Marr was a lovely character. John Kendry really is used simply to draw out his story, and a very good one It is. If the reader desires a delightful picture of the Chinese Quarter In San Francisco, that is to say, one that will give him an idea ns to tho deep cun ning of the many-sided Chinese. "John Kendry’s Idea” should be read. In ad dition the plot moves rapidly tho theme Is good, the heart interest suffi cient and altogether “John Hendry's Idea’ Is thereby highly recommended as a piece of charming light literature. The book Is handsomely gotten up by the Outing Publishing Co., who have a habit of producing handsome books. "CAMPING ANIDTRAMPINQ WITH ROOSEVELT.” By John SSJSSgZ (Houghton, Mifflin A, Co.) Mr. John Burroughs, who went out on & trlD through Yellowstone park with Presi dent Roosevelt In the spring of 1903 has written a very interesting account of this trip. The book, ’’Camping and Tramping With Roosevelt,” is divided into two parts. The first, dealing with this trip to Yellowstone Park, the other part Is an account of a visit which Mr Burroughs paid to the president at Oyster Bay, In which he treats of Mr. Roosevelt more specifically as a nature lover and observer. The whole gives us a vivid picture,of an alert, breexy energetic, enthusiastic, wholesouled man with a genuine love of nature and an exceptional faculty for acute and accurate observation. Mr. Burroughs tells us that the most interesting thing he saw among all the wonders of the National Park was the president him self, and he gives a very graphic and entertaining account of him—his man ner of meeting people along the route of travel, his chats with old acquain tances of ranching days, hts rides and walks In the wilderness, his campfire conversations and story, telling. Mr. Burroughs knows the president's out door side so well and sympathizes with it so thoroughly that what he has to say of him Is well worth reading. The volume is attractively illustrated with photographs, many of them show ing the president while In Yellowstone Park; others giving glimpses of the beauty of his horns at Oyster Bay. It Is a very interesting volume. Any thing that Mr. Burroughs writes would be read by the discriminating public, and when his subject is President Roosevelt his audience naturally in. creases. HARPER'S MONTHLY MAGAZINE. Just a word or two of praise for the October number of Harper’s Monthly Magazine. This number was delayed in Its arrival, hence the short note. We sometimes object to paying out three dimes and*a nickel for a magazine until we have a good look at Harper’s. A second look at the October number of Harper’s will convince any one that It is worth much more than the price asked. There’s a critical comment by Arthur Symons on "Trollus and Cres- Bida,” “The River of Pagoda Land,” by Charles Edward Russell; “The Bible In 400 Tongues,” a number of short stories and “The Weavers,” by Sir Gilbert Parker Is completed In that number of the magazine. A new novel by Mrs. Humphrey Ward, “The Testing of Diana Mallory,” Is announced to begin serially In the November Issue. Har per’s Monthly Is always good. Play Made Him Young. Mr. nnd Mrs. James E. Meddrahs celebrated their golden wedding anni versary at their home, on Hubbard street. A year ago Mr. Meddraha was In such bad health that his friends thought the end was near.
