“WHEN LOVE SPEAKS." By Will
Payne. (MacMIlian Company.)
jHr. Will Payne has written a lot of
stories wherein love, over-capltallxa-
tlon (whatever that' may mean), preda
tory wealth and tho relation of the
sexes (one to another), rather uncom
fortably crowd each upon the other at
times. In tho story under discussion,
namely, "Whon Love Speaks," the au
thor brings In his rich brlbe-glvers;
thieves, the power of wealth to do un
just things, along with the exhibition
of. Love's supposedly effective phono
graph. After reading this book, how
ever, one Is Impressed with the fact
that at the time that Love was sched
uled la make a big noise, he had a "frog
n his throat.” It Is a pity that Mr.
Payne did not try one of the numerous
throat remedies on poor Love, Just at
that time. A little llsterlne might have
been efficacious. In the book, Love
not only did not speak out In meeting—
he did not even whisper; he was dumb
as an oyster or he surely was "asleep
at the switch.” Ths Idea of the bopk
Is to prove the efficacy of Love's shoun,
cat-calls or even whispers. But on
such a hypothesis. Love must, at least,
make a noise—to let us know he Is
somewhere around. In Mr. Payne's
book he was not “among those present."
If he was ever there he was viewed by
the characters In the story as a "molly
coddle.” an "undesirable cltlsen," and
no notice was ever paid to him at all.
In a small. city near Chicago, filled
with petty grafters, politicians and
their tools, as a background Mr. Payne
brings In quite a lot of characters in
"sasslety"—some street car workers,
broken-down lawyers anti such. The
book Ib supposed to show the regenera
tion of a young min responding to
Love's clarion call. Th* hero In "When
Lpve Speaks” was either a* deaf os a
P*st or Love's megaphone was sadly
oqt of order. David Donovan had been
in love with Kitty Holmea from child
hood's happy days, and, according to
the story, be was still the "Faithful
I 'Ido,’’ willing to Jump through hoops,
lie down and "play dead.” These two
•re the principal characters In the book
and around and about them meanedr
the brother of Kitty (the wooden
headed state’s attorney), the "Boss" of
the city, the political agents of the
large corporation etc., the same back
ground that Mr. Payne usually em
ploys. Kitty and David marry and the
John G. Whittier wrote: "The poems
Impress and please me." Mr. Joel
Chandler Harris ("Uncle Remus"):
"It Is as a writer of lyrics thnt Mr. Hub-
ner Is at his best. HI* contributions
to this form of poetry are conspicu
ous for their grace, tenderness and fe
licity of style nnd versification and In
many Instances they have tho com
pleteness of sonnets without their
coldness."
This volume of "Poems” Is made
up of a selection of the best of Major
Hubnor's charming work. All of the
poem* arc good, and to those who be
lieve In the beautiful In life, such poe
try comes os a delightfully refreshing
gift.

a minute! Kitty has her Ideas of civic
and business duty; of tho degree of
friendship David should exhibit to his
old friends and associates, who were of
art entirely different order from Kitty
(praise God), and the real break In
Love's young dream came from Kitty's
unchangeable position and her Inter
ference with David's business matters,
of which she wa* not well Informed.
Kitty (unlike most women) was not
postejl on the details of these business
and political schemes, but “If David
loved her,” so she gave forth In dia
tribes, )ie would reject all common
sense, act as Kitty wanted him to do,
not because Kitty’s way was the cor
rect onf—oh. no; but simply because
Kitty wanted It so. This Is Just where
Love's telephone wires became crossed.
It looked ns If Kitty was determined
to run the family. David’s unwilling,
ness to have the family driven to the
bow-wows was. In Kitty's opinion,
clear exhibition of Love's failure. Da
vid worked the whole matter out In his
mind as best he could and he found
that there was nothing else left for him
to do save leave the country. Love
gave David the "college yell,” but It
was of no avail. David went West
took up the work of driving spikes on a
new railroad. In preference to answer
ing or even hearing Love's trumpet
blast. Then It was that Kitty cleared
out a few cobwebs In her brain, went
after David nnd brought him bock
home. Poor David! Mr. Payne wants
us to believe that It was an exhibition
of Love’s call to her heart that mode
Kitty follow and bring back David
(from where he was at least at peace).
David seemed to prefer the desert, but
he went back home. Kitty, reluctantly
admitting that whon Love speaks, all
must be silent—all other Interests must
be forgotten. After Kitty had done all
she could—had made poor David’s life
a misery and he had preferred driving
spikes on a railroad to living with Kit.
ty—It certainly was time for Love to
get a better telephone -connection. Mr.
Payne always makes his characters
real, whether they be cads or capital-
late. and his book, “When Love
Bpeaka,” will help the reader kill time,
for which, after all. It le not n small
thing to be grateful, theee wearing Au
gust days.
“POEM8.” By Charles W. Hubner.
(The Neale Publishing Company.) For
two generations the lovers of the best
of Southern poetry have read the
poems of Major Hubner, of Atlanta,
as they appeared In the daily journals,
the magnxlnes, and now nnd then in
his published works. He has won a
high place In American Jetterg and has
the sincere admiration of all who have
read his poetry. Throughout his life,
he has been. Intimately associated with
the eminent American poets. Henry
W. Longfellow said of his poems:
“They are simple and true.” Oliver
Wendell Holmes said: "Vour warm
tribute to the memory of Bayard Tay-
we trust will-always be, one In
and name. Also accept my thanks for
your eloqusnt and Impassioned tribute
to the memory of Burn*.” Alexander
H. Stephens testified thus: "I was
deeply Interested In your poems and
Mays and most of the poems I have
DISINHERITED.” By Stella M. Dur
ing. (J. B. Llpplncott Company). Have
you read “Disinherited," by Stella M.
During? This Is a good answer to
make to any friend, who Inquires for
something really good to reud. If your
friend has not reud thla book nml
will appreciate a worthy production
then tell him to get "Disinherited.”
After he reads It, the opinion he may
hold regarding your discriminating
taste regarding books will go up 100
per cent.
The story Is nbout a very ambitious
girl, the pretty daughter of a clergy
man In England, who left nlone, after
the death of her father, decides that
she will make romethlng out of her
< wn life and she certainly does--make-i
a sad confusion. Jn worrying with
and wanting to shake "Avlce Carlyon"
the mind of the reader will Instinctive
ly go back to fascinating "Beck;
Sharpe.” "Avlce” Is quite on the order
of "Becky” and her schemo of life Is
exactly the same. The author of "DIs
Inherited" Is, of course, no ''Thackeray'
—there never has been but one. but
she certainly does handle her puppets
admirably,
Avlce goes to visit a friend of her
dead father's, where she has the same
opportunities to work her wiles as did
Becky at the Sedley home. Avlce hat)
some of the same experiences ns did
the Immortal Rebecca, but she did
much better In a worldly way than
did Becky, for she captured the old
lord. Instead of poor Rawdon’s pro
totype. Avlce marries Sir Peter, a rich,
charming old gentleman of 63 years
of age. Avlce Is then 19 year* old. She
makes Sir Peter a good wife, but In
two years' time Sir Peter gives up the
ghost. In his struggle to entertain
young wife. There was a young
nephew—heir of Sir Peter, who In
case of his (Sir Peter) not marrying
would Inherit the money nnd estates.
After the death of Sir Peter there came
a child to Avlce. It was naturally Im
portant that this child should be a
eon. The child was a girl and around
the secret of keeping from the world
the sex of this child, likewise the
trouble and unhappiness connected
with this action on Avlce's port, does
the whole book turn. The young
nephew cannot marry his sweetheart
on account of his poverty—all things
become terribly mlxed-up and the ad
mirable way In which the author takes
hold of her situations and handles them
Is delightful and effective. Avlce sows
ns she reaps. The young nephew comes
Into his own, after a time, both of
money and of his sweetheart, but It
Is through Avlce's daughter that the
story unravels Itself. Avlce continues
to be the little vampire that ahe was
born, right up to (he end of tha book,
but becauae of her love for the nephew
Avlce's daughter discloses her mother's
wrong) doing. It Is only through the
actions of the thankless child (thank
less as Avlce views the matter) that
Avlce ever suffers. Tha unsuccessful
ending of her own love for the nephew
causes Avlce's daughter to consider
herself (not the nephew) as having
been "disinherited" by her mother,
hence the title to the atory.
There la not a dull line In the book.
The Interest Is not simulated. It la
clean, wholesome, with a good moral,
not too much (for we do not care
for morels In novels), but the lesson
Is there, with the charming telling of
the story—namely, that the way of the
transgressor Is mighty hard.
This department does not know o(
another book of light literature more
pleasing. Everybody watch Stella M.
During! Everybody except this de
partment may be already doing this—
at any rate- there will be plenty of

on the hundred years' wrangle (ns j
he 'calls It) which led up to and pre

give a very fair statement of both the J
Northern und Southern sides of that

nto the causes of the estrangement
between the North and the South— ‘
the right of secession, and under tho j
latter head he shows that the South '
was not the first part of tho country)
to contend for the right of the states >
to secede from the union. Tho author I
Justly devotes a full chapter to the f
women of the Confederacy—then he,

and the South fought for—tells of-Lce i
