p' -ry United States navy. (Doublo-
,,,. Pase ft Co.) There has been a
treat many people In this section of
the country who have been suffering
from and complaining of the hot weath
er for the past few months. Anything
hat will relieve suffering, and at tho
;!«( time Impart knowledge, is cer-
tiinlv a good thing to be Investigated,
is a' suggestion to that end. "Nearest
ilie Pole.” by Commander Peary, of the
United States navy. Is hereby heartily
recommended.
In a very handsomely printed and
bound volume, filled with photographs,
’rawing. and maps, Commander Peary
ias in his interesting book, given a
fun account of his latest expedition to
be north polar regions of 19(15-1905.
rlie explorer-author begins his story
n the form of a diary, and through the
,ages of his book he carries his readers
'rom the beginning to the end of his
xpedltion. Commander Peary's book
xplalns a great many things to the
iverage reader, for, if the truth bo
old, the average person, when asked
ubout the object to be gained should
be north or any other pole bo dis-
overed, as a rule is in a quandary. _ ----- * —

his desire not to appear dull to hli

to Algiers. In a few days Lady \Vy-
verne has had enough of Algiers.
Let s get on. Crumpet,” she said. "So
lets get on toward the desert." They
moved on to a little Inn on the edge
of the desert at a little place caled
El-Akbara. Here entered the villain
and he was a charming, typical one,
in the person of an Arabian who was
an officer In the Spahis stationed at
Algiers. While en route, at Paris,
Sir Claude and Lady Wyverne had
had their fortunes foretold. Sir
Claude ridiculed his, but the fact of
the old fortune-teller having informed
him that during this month, he would
be In danger of losing something very
precious to himself, worried him un
consciously. While at the little inn at
the edge of tho desert, Sir Claude,
naturally a great huntsman, becomes
Interested In the sport thereabouts,
chief of which Is the hunt of Bar
bary sheep. Sir Claude leaves his
wife at the Inn while he hunts around
the country. In a striking way, the

the time this book wes written
ommander Peary was preparing for
' new expedition, and the author In
preface apologises for his hurried
ork. "Nearest the Pole” needs no
ilogy as to its full and most Inter-
ting descriptive matter. In the press
Ispatchcs It was stated some time
Ince that owing to some unnecessary
epalrs to the steamship "Roosevelt."
'ommander Peary would be compelled
■ delay his new voyage north for a
ear. As the reader understands It,
expedition starts in August, to get'
far north os possible before the Ice
loses up everything—then when It
oes close • up, the ship and crew re
»aln In winter quarters until ,the Ice
reaks the next year, when the expedl
on starts north again.
Now. It Is respectfully suggested that
any reader of Tho Georgian has

cool him off. then the photographs

shed In this day and generation.
As most newspaper renders know,
ommander Peary, In his last expedl-
on, went nearest the polo (or nearest

nc—should be located), namely, to 87

“BARBARY SHEEP,” by Rtfcert
lichens. (Harper & Brothers.)
"Sir Claude Wyverne was a simple
nd rather heavy young Englishman,
'ho had married a very frivolous
Ife, and who adored her. Adora-
lon leads to abnegation, and Sir
iaude. ns s««n ns he was a married
isn, began to civ* way to Lady
yverne. She was a very pretty and
hangeablo blonde. Any permanenco
emed to her dull; and this trait se-
■etly agitated her husband, who de-
red to bo permanent In bar life and
ot to be thought dull by her. In or-
er to achieve this result, he decided
i present himself as often os pos-
Ible to Lady Wyverno In the seduc-
Ive guise of change giver.”
It Is thus Mr. Robert Hlchcns be-
Ins his charming novel, "Barbary
beep,” Just published by Harper &
rothers. In Just these few lines, fur-
Barbary Sheep” simply as a figure of
speech, to show the mistake husbands
make who, having flighty wives, go
off and leave them to temptation. For,
of course, during the absence of Sir
Claude, the young Arabian officer
begins his work of fascination upon
Lndy Wyverne, and with much suc
cess. Lady Wyverne Is not a wicked
woman, sho is Just an ordinary fool,
looking for excitement or for anything
which she does not happen to pos
sess at that particular moment. And
thin striving for the possession of the
absent, whatever it may be, causes
Lady Wyverne (and all others In real
life) a great deal of trouble. Sir
Claude returns to the inn unexpected
ly, finds Lady Wyverne out viewing
the landscape with Benchaalal, the
Spadl, at something like three o'clock
In tho morning. In Justice to Lady
Wyverne, the author makes It clear
then, as he does throughout the book,
that she was guilty of nothing save
lack of brains and a desire to play
with fire. When Sir Claude finds his
wife not in her room, he retires—In
the morning greets her ns If nothing
had happened, makes his own plans,
however, and goes olf for another
hunt after Barbary sheep. Sir Claude
has decided, however, to return sud
denly and do a lot of killing. When
night comes. Lady Wyverne, realizing
how close she had been the night be
fore to a catastrophe, withstands as
long as' she can the serenade of
Benchaalal, but ends by Joining him
for another moonlight stroll on the
desert. Sir Claude appears to slay
Benchaalal (he had not yet decided
whether to make It one or two mur
ders) when suddenly ns Benchaalal
attempts to rob Lady Wyverne of her
diamond necklace, he Is killed—
stabbed by a wild man of'the desert,
who has crept up behind the couple.
Sir Claud’ viewing tho attempt to
rob and Lady Wyveme's horror at the
attack, realizes that tho latter was not
really at fault, and takes her to his
arms, and we all hope back to her
own safe fireside. And If Sir Claude
and such husbands are open to any
advice from outsiders, it might be sug
gested that they keep Lady Wyverne
and her kind at home, and themselves
from ''Barbary Sheep,” or other di
versions from their duty, namely, to
watch out for their weak wives.
In "Barbary Sheep" tho author has
another opportunity to use his won-
make n success In his first newspaper
venture and Is forced to accept a po
sition as associate editor of The Mass,
a seml-annrchlsttc sheet.
The whole story revolves around a
sudden Invasion of England by Ger
many. While tho people arc having
mass meetings In London, demanding
further curtailment of expenses in the
way of home defense, army and navy,
England wakes up to find a German
nrmy landed In England nnd on tile
march to capture London. The author
goes Into details as to tills German In
vasion and makes It all very real, for
Dick Mordan and his sweetheart,
fine, charming girl (one of tho most
lovable characters liable to be found
In present day literature), have charge
of a hospital corps and are In and
among all the excitement. London was
completely under control and in pos
session of the German nrmy. The
monoy Indemnity demanded and agreed
to by England was five thousand mil
lion dollars, paid In installments run
nlng for nine years. Until the Inst
payment was made, or for nine years,
Qerman troops were to occupy Glas
gow, Cardiff. Portsmouth. Dovonport,
Chatham, Yarmouth Harwich Hull
nnd Newcastle. The Transvaal was to
be ceded to the Boevs under a German
protectorate. England was to with
draw all pretensions to Egypt nnd Mo
rocco and cede to Germany Gibraltar,
Malta, Ceylon and British West Africa.
Tho first part of the book, of course,
covers In the Descent the description
of the people, their condition of mind
and expressions thereof which al
lowed such an Invasion to happen. The
Awakening gives a most Interesting
account of how England did awaken,
how she threw off Germany’s mailed
fist and became her own magnificent
self ogaln y There Is Just enough love-
making In "Tho Message" to season Its
charming pages. The heroine is charm
ing. The reader Is not liable^ to run
acrosh In many a day so pleasing a
girl In all respects as was Constance
Grey under all circumstances. "The
Message" was evidently written with
a great purpose In view. The Invasion
of England by Germany is made very
plauslblf. The author constantly re
fers to and quotes from such empire-
builders and upholders as Lord Rob
erts and others. The reader Is Im
pressed with t)ie fact, that such hap
penings an are shown In the book
might really occur under certain cir
cumstances. nnd It Is a terrific arraign
ment of the disarmament party, or
Destroyers, about whom we read so
much In England at the present time.
The Awakening Is caused solely by
arousing the English people to duty.
Volunteers, to arouse the common peo
ple by preaching, come from Canada,
Australia, etc.—large meetings are held
—an association Is formed, with some
three million members and before Ger
many knows anything about what Is
going on, she has been thrown prac
tically back Into the sea, not, how
ever, before the author brings In a
very pretty picture of the United
States offering to Join with “hands
across the sea” to throw off tho Her
man Invaders. The book Is Intended
to show the possibilities of such a
proceeding, should England, "tho de
fenseless Isles.” grow callous and not
always be on tho watch out for ene
mies nt home and abroad. And the
delightful thing about the whole book
is that with all of Its preaching of
Ideals, etc.. It Is one Of the most read
able books that has been Issued In a
long time.
comparison will be strongly noticed
when In the book Mannering retires
for a time, in order, to suspend ilia
opinions and Investigate conditions,
such as Mr. Balfour actually announced
some three or four years ago.
Mr. Oppenhelm’s book evidently was
written with a deep political purpose.
The author describes through Manner-
ing’s opinions expressed, the condition
of the English labor classes and no
doubt with a suggestion as to remedy,
There Is one convincing, although not
pleasing, character in the book, name
ly, Mrs. PhiUlmore. She stands out
front ali of the rest of the personages
In tho book. Tho majority of the other
characters are rather weak and bettor
fitted for acting parts upon the stage
than real characters In life. With all
of Mannerlng’s diatribes and moke
believe attempts to show bis back
bone, he seems very weak himself.
"A Lost Leader" (as are all of Mr.
Oppenheim’s novels) is very readable
and will be-found very entertaining.

shown In his "The Garden of Allah.”
"llarbary Sheep'’ Is a strong, pleasing
hook, well drawn and most Interest
ing. It Is bound to add to the already
M ~ literary reputation that Mr.
deservedly now possesses.
“THE MESSAGE," by A. J. Daw
son. (Dana, Estes & Co.); “The Mes
sage," by A. J. Dawson, Is ono of the
most readable boohs that one Is liable
to run across In n long time. The
story Is told In a charming style nnd
the interest holds from the beginning
to the end of the book.
The story i» divided Into two parts,
namely, the Descent and the Awaken
ing—supposed to represent and de
scribe the present condition of the
English people as to their position
among the nations of tho world. The
story Is told In the first person by
Dick Mordan, a young chap Just out
of college who goes to London In tho
lutter part of the nineteenth century
to make his way. He begins work on
n newspaper, which Is upholding tho
political party then In power, which
party, from their disarmament theo
rlee, put Into practice, against tin- ad
vice of such men as Lord Roberts and
others, have given them the name as
the Destroyers. Dick Mordan does not

who has elected to stand aloof from the
conflict of the world. The title.

Mannering to return to a life of nettv-
lty, namely, n llfo of helpfulness to Ills

through somo of Its leaders, brings nil
manner of pressure upon Mannering,
but with no success. Female persua
sion Is used. The Duchess of Lenches.
ter rents a house near him, where she
resides under an assumed name. Man-
nerlng promptly falls in love with the
duchess, but even love refuses to budge
him from his desire to keep aloof from
political activity. Here enters Man
nerlng's past. In onrly manhood Man
tiering had accidentally killed a mnu
whoso wife saved him from prosecu
tion by falsely testifying that the dentil
was an accident. This woman, Mrs.
PhiUlmore. Mannering feels, has hence-
forwsrd n claim on him. This Idea Is
encouraged by .Mrs. PhiUlmore. anil she
lives under Mnnnerlng's protection and
entirely at his expense. Mannerlng’s
political friends hit upon Mrs. Phil-
llmorn nnd use her successfully when
love and everything else had failed,
to bring Mannering back to London
nnd to the parliament. Mannering re
turns to political life—was making
great success again—had the promise
of being prime minister of England so
soon as his party was again In power,
when ono night returning to his lodg
ing, he Is accosted by a shabby, half,
mad working man, who was on Man-
nerlng's track to kill him. Mannering
Invites the fanatic Into his lodging and
the former Is Induced to make an ex
tended trip among the laboring classes
In the manufacturing cities and prov
inces, there to behold thB poverty Into
which England's fiscal policy had
plunged Its work people. Mannering
makes this trip—returns to London, not
with a complete change of mind as to
England's fiscal policy, but he Is In
fluenced sufficiently to force Ills resig
nation from his seat as a representa
tive of his party. AH of this time tho
attachment, strong nnd virile, having
sprung up between the widowed duch
ess of Lcnchoster and Mannering—the
duchess and Mrs. I-hllllmoro go to war
e.ver Mannering. Mrs. Phllllmore wins,
and Mannering marries her white •ih'i
loving the duchess. Circumstances,
however, later kindly remove Manner-
Ink’s unloved wife, enabling him to
marry the duchess. However, before
this. Mannering** past, with the cap-
iral P, stallu back and forth and nt one
time details of It nre about to be pub
lished In the newspapers Just as he U
standing for another seat In tho house
of commons. His unloved wife pre
vents the publication and she In turn
receives Mnnnerlng's quiet thanks
therefor. Manncring’s political career
does not work cut very happily.
Though twlco on the eve of becoming
prime minister, the reader of the book
Is left with the Impression nt the end
of the novel that Mannering, sn In
valid (caused by a murderous assault
made by a disappointed office seeker)
Is at his country home, the duchess Is
with him and he only a labor member
of the house. This point, however. Is
not made very clear by Mr. Oppenhelm.
The character of Mannering was evi
dently drawn around Mr. Balfour—the iiotei l,iuck."AtiaatX

III OLD CHIMNEY
R. W. Brown, a prominent farmer
living near Gadsden, Alabama, camo
to Atlanta, Friday, seeking a detect
ive. With him ho brought the story
of a mysterious 13,000 hidden for
some hundred years In an old chlm-
Mr. Brown's great-grandfather
moved from North Carolina to Ala
bama about one hundred years ago.
With him be brought a large sum of
money, amounting to hundreds
thousands, according to the family
traditions. He was a free spender and
made way with much of this.
The old family mansion of the
Browns Is In tho center of a 2,000-acre
farm near Gadsden. It was built by
the great-grandfather of the mnny
thousands of dollars. It Is a massive
structure with large stono chimneys.
Last week during some overhauling
of the old home, one ot the workmen
quit work on tho chimney suddenly
and went home.
The next morning It was rumored
that he had found a large sum of
money hidden In tha chimney, about
23,000 in nil. When auestloned by Mr.
Brown be did not deny It. He said In
explaining bis sudden departure;
"If you hnd seen what I seen, you'd
’ left, too."
Mr. Brown believes the man has the
money burled somewhere. He Is said
to have declared that ha will go to
>rlson and the mines before ho gives
t up. Mr. Brown, after consulting
with an attorney, decided that tho
money belonged to his family, ns It
was probably put Into the chimney
one hundred years ago, when tho
house was built. He Is now searching
for some Sherlock Holmes to help him
recover tho, money from the work
man.
