rHE ATLANTA GE0KU1AN AND NEWS. SATURDAY, AUGUST 31, I9CT. Arthur Pendennis Jr.’s Weekly Review of Booths NEAREST THE POLE,” a narra.' . . 0 f the Polar expedition of the tverv Arctic Club, In the steamship "Roosevelt," 1905-1906. By R. E. 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. _ ----- * — Die average person honestly thinks. brI ”? s ,r }. tben , hls moral, using jeing uninformed on the subject, that nnrharv — » * ther extended In the book, does Mr. Hlchena Introduce his two principal characters. Lady Wyverne, deciding 6he does, not care to go to their coun try home, Sir Claude Is urged through his desire not to appear dull to hli *0 take her on a trip via Paris 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 hould Commander Peary or anybody Ise locate ttfe pole, ho would be in the Ituatlon of the little dog (all of us ave often watched) chasing a railway rain, and we have wondered, namely, uppose the little dog does catch up ith our train, what would he do with As a general proposition, most of are of the opinion of the passenger the train regarding the little dog as the hunt for the pole. We Just R not see what object to science, ommerce or anything else outside of idventuro would be gained, should ommander Peary find the north pole, Islocate it and bring it back to tho nlted States for all of us to view. )f course, wo know all about wanting n discover the northwest passage and ither things supposed to bo up there. ■ seriously speaking now, the ln- erestlng and beautifully gotten up iook which Commander Peary has ritten gives a very satisfactory an- er to all of these suppositions, and msslbly Impertinent and Irrelevant uestlons regarding any such expedl- lons. Commander Peary tells us all bout his preparations for the voy- ge, life on shipboard, and has fully et out a complete description of his set expedition—all of which Is very nterestlngly done and most Instructive. 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 ten unduly suffering from the heat itely, let him try a perusal of "Nearest Pole.” If the reading matter does cool him off. then the photographs lee, etc., certainly will do.so, and tho same tlmo the book will be und most Interesting and instructive the latter fonture being quite an un uni one In the average books pub- shed In this day and generation. As most newspaper renders know, ommander Peary, In his last expedl- on, went nearest the polo (or nearest o where the pole—If a well-behaving nc—should be located), namely, to 87 egrees and 6 minutes latitude, north, io you know now, with this Informa- on In mind, really how near tho pole >V»M Itl IIIHIU, I UUII j IILMY III ommander Peary did go 7 “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. applied therein ...I . 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.

Phillips Oppen helm has taken for his hero n modern political lender, with a hidden past, who has elected to stand aloof from the conflict of the world. The title. Lost Leader,” gives the reader an In night as to the handling .1 the plot, for In tho story the hero, disgusted with the world In general nnd politics In England In particular, retires to a quiet country place whereat to spend the rest of his days. Richard Man nerlng had been n great political pow or In England, biit having boon as he thought badly treated and tricked by Home of Ills party, he was now living In retirement. It ts around nnd about tho struggles of his party to Induce Mannering to return to a life of nettv- lty, namely, n llfo of helpfulness to Ills party, that the book runs. The party, 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 SOME OF THE BOOK8 RECEIVED FOR REVIEW ED, to be reviewed: "Making of a Newspaper,” by J. L.

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.
