It has been said that one of the best
tests of a child’s book Is that It shall
ba Interesting to grown-ups. If this
be true, Evaleen Stein’s recent contri
bution to Juvenile literature Is quite up
to the mark. Ar with “Th» Roses of
Bt. Elisabeth” (the first of a new series
published by L. C. Page A Co., Bos
ton), “Gabriel and the Hour Book,” Is
equlaltely Illustrated by Adelaide Ever
hart, whose artistic touch will doubt
less double the sale of this book, as It
did with the other.
The story Is laid In the time of Louis
XII, of France. "In those days—It was
four hundred years ago—printed books
were very few, and almoat unknown
to moat people, for printing presaes
had only been invented a few years,
and ao by far the greater number of
hooka In the world were still made by
the patient labor of skillful hands; tho
work usually being done by the monks,
of whom there were very many nt that
time. These monks, or brothers, hav
ing more time and more learning than
moat other people of those days, made
It their chief work to preserve and
multiply all the booka that were worth
keeping. These they wrote out on
parchment and then ornamented the
pages with such beautiful painted
borders of flowers and birds and saints
and angels, nnd such lovely Initial let
ters, nil In bright colors and gold, that
to thla day large numbers of the beau
tiful books made by the monks are
still kept among the choicest treas
ures of the libraries of the world. Now
of all the Illuminated hooks for which
the Abbey of S(. Martin’s had become
so famous, none were quite so exqui
sitely done as those made by Brother
Stephen." * *
A little peasant boy, Gabriel, was
on* of the noted Postmsster General
Stephen for the city hall of Remacheld.
There are a number of orders awaiting
him In New York and Philadelphia,
and after the empress has arranged her

very proud to become the color grinder
for Brother Stephen, who had received
an order from the king, Louie XII, who
reigned over France, and was soon to
wed the Lady Anne of Bretagne. The
king knew how much the noble ladles
of his day admired the beautifully
painted Hour Books. These books were
so called because In them were written
different parts of the Bible, Intended to
be read at certain hours of the day.
King Louis having decided on an Hour
Book for a gift to his bride, sent the
order to the Abbey of St. Martin's.
How Gabriel helped Brother Stephen
In the execution of this famous book,
for It Is still preserved with great care
In France, Is the story that Evaleen
Stein has written, and Miss Everhart
has so perfectly Illustrated. Her ar
tistic work does honor to the subject
and a more exquisite little volume
has not appeared for a long time.
Miss Everhart as an artistic genius
Is becoming widely known throughout
the country. For years she has stood
at the very top as a rare painter of
portraits and tapestries. Recently her
Illustration of books has awakened the
most enthusiastic admiration among
the best and most exacting critics. Her
Illustrations In "The Roses of St. EIlz-
nbeth” (Mrs. Frank L. Woodruff’s very
fascinating story, published lost year,
and which has exhausted already sev
eral editions) were among the most
beautiful brought out during the past
season.
Miss Everhart's work In Evaleen
Stein’s book Is simply exquisite, and
full of a subtle charm, almost Impossi
ble to describe. Her coloring Is deli
cate nnd beautiful and her figures full
of life, grace and action. Miss Ever

The first day of August has dawned
very brightly upon Atlanta, and ac
cording to statistics some five thousand
more souls are today, breathing the
pure, healthy atmosphere of the South's
greatest city than did today twelve
months ago, and surely there Is not the
least doubt but what August, 1907, will
still And our population soaring some
where around the one hundred and
fifty thousand mark. Do you wonder?
Atlanta as she sits grandly upon the
highest point In the state, fed gently
by all the breezes from the four cor
ners of the globe, Inoculated by na
ture from all the dreaded diseases that
so often Infest some of our sister cities,
and then really do you wonder why we
grow? Why so many little fellows
some ten years ago are this, the first
day of August, 1904, GIANTS In the
commercial world. The answer , Is
easy—quite easy—Atlanta has, and has
always had, a combination of business
men who thought more about the
growth of our city and the general wel
fare of her peonle than they did of a
few dollars and cent* that could be
had by extortion. Don't think sq, eh?
Well, let's see. For twenty years we
have been a part of Atlanta. We have
not only tried to succeed, but we Jiave
accomplished our efforts. How? Doing
Just exactly what our advertisements
say we do, and naturally as follows,
one might ask, how does that help the
great masses—It's Just the same old
story of being overstocked and things
must be sold at cost, or even less. Well,
suppose that la the esse, one might say,
It Is simply a case of turning dead
stock into cash, and that doesn't help
anybody but the overstocked merchant
It don’t, eh? Well, let’s see. Million,
alres count the per cent—that's wherg
the poor man forgeta to count, and
that Is why you can count the million
aires upon your fingers—beams,
THEY SAW THE LITTLE THINGS,
For Instance, you are a moderate van
earner, and the old refrigerator yog
have at home now wilt pass for thi
remaining season, but- a new one win
be a necessity next year. This Is lust
an example now, mind you. Today ws
can sell you a flrst-clsss guaranteed
refrigerator for 416.00 that you could
not buy next spring for less than
420.00—a saving of 26 per cent 1 Isn’t
that correct? If It works well In small
matters It surely works the same way
In larger matters. Suppose you had ts
place an order for 410,000, the pro rats
saving would be more than most people
get for a year's work. Do you see the
point we would make? We are very
much overstocked on refrigerators, and
they will be Just as good next season,
but here Is where you get In. Save
some money today and let ushelpyou.
We only sell the best brands and you
put 25 per cent In your pocket by
buying now for next season. A mil
lionaire would do this. Why not you?

Brlndamour, -Jallbreaker and hand

with the handcuffs Is amazing nnd his
wonderful escape from an Iron cell
Into which he has been locked with his
hands and feet securely fastened to the
bars Is little short of being a miracle.
An effort will be made to have this
wonderful man make an attempt to es

In Atlanta. He has already escaped
from over four hundred and seventy
prisons and his most remarkable feat
was his escape from the great Sing
Sing prison in New York state.

as mystifying to the public as that of
Brlndamour’s. This talented couple
