second volume of the Catholic Encyclo.
pedln the first volume of which was
received with such a generous chorus
of approval, has Just been sent forth
vy the publishers, Messrs. Robert Ap-
rieton & Co., of New York city.
In this second volume bf the fifteen,
which will constitute the entire pro
duction. are many most Interesting ar.
tides coming very close to the minds
and hearts of all readers who wlBh to
ascertain the Catholic view of the
world In aU Its variations and from
all sides. The greatness of this r en
terprise is possibly more substantially
shown In the second volume than in
the first, owing to-the treatment of the
philosophic and Biblical questlohs
which fall within the alphabetical
lines of this second volume, namely,
from “Assises of Jerusalem to Brown-
11 In alphabetical order are the articles
dealing with research and discovery ID
Assyria and Babylonia, showing on
especial up-to-dateness of the work.
The relation of these discoveries to the
Bible are pointed out clearly and In fin
unprejudiced way. The eminent schol
ars of all lands who contribute to the
work, state the facts In all their bear-
inns Including not only much of his
tory not heretofore written, but show
ing at the same time their relation to
the history of Israel, the Old Testa
ment records, etc.
Tire first volume of the Catholic En
cyclopedia, which was reviewed In The
Georgian June 29, 1907. Indicated the
great scope of this work. The second
volume is simply In line with the suc-
cessfullv carried out ambitions of the
scholars In charge of this enterprise.
Front "Assizes to Brownrlgg.” In 804
pages, one can see within what com-
imss the opportunity lies for a discus
sion of many subjects of human Inter
est. for In them we can note Just a
feu, as Bankruptcy—he moral aspect
of; Astrology, Assyria, Atheism, Athan-
nslun creed (a splendid article by Jas.
J. Sullivan), Betrothal—the church be
ing deeply concerned with the safe
guarding of the sacred relations of the
family and therefore this article on
Bctrothai has an especial significance.
There' Is a most Interesting article
on “Beads.” showing how widespread
Is their present use and how general
the ancient use of these peculiar orna
ments by many peoples. This Interest
ing discussion by John R. Volz treats
thoroughly the whole subject. It Is
staled that beads strung together or
arranged on chains are an obvious Im
provement over the well-known priml.
tive method Instanced for cxamplo In
the life of the Egyptian Abbot Paul
Id. A. D. 341), who used to take 300
pebbles Into his lap as counters and
drop one as he finished each of the cor
responding number of prayers he was
accustomed to say dally. The strings
of beads gradually became to be known
as paternosters. Prayer beads have
been found by archaeologists In a
tomb fo the holy abbess, Gertrude of
Mvelles (d. A. D. 659). At the present
tlmechnlned beads have almost en
tirely taken the place of corded ones,
•fo facilitate the counting or to mark
off certain divisions of devotion, a set
of heads, usually decades, are separat
ed from each other by a larger bead or
sometimes by a metal cross or medal.
A full rosary consists of 150 hall Mary*.
13 <>ur Fathers and three or four beads
corresponding to Introductory verslcles
and the “Glory be to the Father,” etc.
Such a "pair of beada” are usually
worn by the religious. Bay peoplo
commonly have beads representing a
third part of the rosary. The use of
bends title article goes on to say)
among fiugans Is undoubtedly of great
er antiquity than their Christian use,
but there Is no evidence to show that
the latter Is derived from the former
any mure than there Is to establish r
relation between Christian devotions
and pagan forma of prayer.
tine of the most Interesting articles
In the second volume of the Encyclo
pedia Is that written by Bernard Ward
on the “authorised Version.” meaning
the name given to the English transla
tion of the Bible produced by the com
mission appointed by James I and In
consequence often spoken of as "King
James Bible.” This discussion by Mr.
Ward In Itself Is a splendid and shin
ing Instance of the very liberal spirit
which animates the editors and wri
ters responsible for the work.
The various articles upon Assyria
and Ilnbylnni& shed A flood of light
upon the Bible and upon ancient life
and history and evidence the broad
spirit of the work.
The students of the Bible who have
been putaled by the account rf ' the
building of the Tower of Babel will.un.
derstand It now after reading the. In
teresting discussion of this subject by
A. J. Maas.
The doctrine of the Atonement con
cerning which so many volumes have
been written is very clenrly discussed
In this second volume of the Encyclo
pedia.
The great question of faith upon
Philosophic grounds Is taken up In a
most thoroughgoing fashion In the
leading articles on atheism and belief.
In the 1711 pages of this second vol
ume devoted to the letter “A," there are
such subjects as Augustine of Canter
bury. Augustine nf Hippo, Australia,
Austria-Hungary, Assyria, Astroldgy,
Atavism, Atheism, Attainder, Asaocla-
Atonement and Athens.
I'nder the general editorship of Dr.
Charles O. Heberman. the various wrt-
'"rs employed. Including the ablest spe
cialists of the Catholic church. In the
"frond ns well as the first volume of
this most notable work, have dis
charged their duties In the true spirit
"t broad scholarship with the result
tli.it each article, no matter how brief,
contains some point of Interest.
Finally then this Is a great work,
“ne which should be and is being wel
comed by all manner of Intelligent men
and women. The editors and authori-
!■*» employed are doing a great work,
rue work Is being appreciated,' as It
1 "Uld not otherwise be. and If the other
''dumes (fifteen In all) come anywhere
near the standards set by- the first and
■f'-ond volume, then the reading and
thinking world, whether Catholic or
Protestant, will be under the greatest
obligations to the promoters of this
great literary enterprise.

which la so refreshing that we' hold
ourselves back; that Is to say, we do
not wish to finish It too quickly, bo-
cause the pleasure Is so unusual In the
perusal. “The Broken Lance” Is Just
such a book. Mr. Quick has written
some other stories. “Aladdin & Co.”
and “Double Trouble.” and recently he
published In The Reader Magazine
some Interesting articles, one on Gov
ernor Hoke Smith of Georgia and one
on Governor B. B. Comer of Alabama.
But nothing which he has sent forth
before this gave us an Inkling of Just
what he could do.
The.theme of the book Is simply thltf:
“Plato sin with gold.
And the strong lance of justice hurt
les breaks;
Arm It In.rags, a pygmy's straw does
pidree it.”
Now, the gredt trouble with some
writers who .take up a theme like this
is that they begin on the first page of
their story to literally “preach" to us.
Not only do they preaeh to ue, but.
they reach out and grab one by the
arm and say “I hate to do all of this.
I really don't like to tell you how
things really are. or ought to he. . But
my duty Is plain to explain to you poor
stupid sinners Just 'what Is what.*"
But Mr. Quick Is as much more sen
sible and more kind than the others.
He simply and clearly lays before'his
readers the statement' of the tact*. m'T D
minus any oration,whatever. andAW* the GeiiSfil 'UaptlaiSt
, the BROKEN LANCE,” by Her-.
«rt Quick. (Bobbs-Merrlll Company.)
The Georgian wishes to'call attention
!? a special publication this week In
the novel line, namely "The Broken
Lane*." it Is really one of the most
■nierestlng books which has been
to us. In effect, “Yqu -can tnke^ftssir
leave It." And wheu ant'realizes what
tho fascination Or (eiflirtation Is to
preach either In books or conversa
tions, we can honestly convey to con-,
stderatc writers like Mr. Quick the
commendation he merfts.
"The Broken I.unce" Is a swift mov
ing appealing picture of everyday 11 O'.
In It, the author first shows us a min
ister of the gospel who ha* beet)
preaching to and ror a rich congrega
tion a lot of "glittering generalities.”
and through him the congregation
realised what the Christian religion
means—for the other man. That we
are to love one another; that the Ser
mon on the Mount and the Ten Com
mandments are living, personal docu
ments, of course; but conveniently for
gotten by us In the dally vocations of
life. Now Emerson Courtright for
years Is perfectly satisfied with this
condition of affairs. The sermons and
teachings of our Lord Jesus Christ were
abstract propositions to him. But
suddenly he Is nwakrned, no matter
how; but he begins to preach mili
tant. personul gospel. With what re
sult? Simply that he Is kicked out of
the church. Why? Because tho rich.
Influential, vote-controlling members
of his congregation, while they believed
themselves Christians, when they are
called upon by their minister to live
for and In Christ, they take tho com
fortable position that Courtright la "at-
tai’klng vested Interests." Tills then Is
the theme, together with the declara
tion of tho Impregnable position held
by the monied classes, as to sinning.
It Is not possible So say within the
limits of a review here what a strong
story "The Broken Lnnce" Is. But It
Js one of the books of this or any
other year. The Georgian Is called
upon to discuss, and. worse tltnn that!
to read so many of tho mushy stuff
produced these Cays that It Is.really a
delight (that Is what It Is) to speak of
“The Broken Lance" by comparison.
There Is love; there Is Intrigue; there
Is pretty neurly everything In this
strong, charming book to hold the In
terest. The men and women stand out
The reader will know some of them; If
not all. But just think of what an
author has accomplished If he allows
his readers to "know” only one of his
characters? The reader of everyday
fiction will recall how disgusted he has
often been with tho wooden-headed
men and women In some books. There
Is hardly a weak point or unrenl char
acter In “The Broken Lance." There Is
one web of circumstances drawn
around Courtright and Olivo Deeches-
ter, the choir singer, who afterwards
becomes queen of the operatic stage,
that is startling In Its realism. No
doubt Mr. Quick would resent being
classed as a realist, but he does the
work of one most delightfully In this
charming novel of his.
The Georgian fears It has already-
devoted more space to this book than
it should, not one-half as much as It
deserves, but If this review will cause
a reading of "The Broken Lance” to
prove The Georgian's contention as to
It* strength and fascination, tills pa
per will be fully repaid.
If you are sick of the wlahy-waahy
twaddle of make-believe, sentimental
••guff;" If you are weary of being
preached at: If Mr. Hope* Imitators
act as a soporific upon you (find Just-,
h? so), then take the advice of The
Georgian and try a counteracting In
fluence In the diverting story of The
Broken Lance.” ✓
I is the most charitable reason that could
be given \far u*. But now that parent*
have wisely concluded that It la so
much better that growing sons and
daughetrrt should learn of certain mat
ters, It Is quite apropos to call atten
tion to the really superior books dis
cussed herewith.

ited by Bylvanus stall, produced by

“GOTTY AND. THE GUV’NER,” by
A. E. Copping. (Mitchell Kennerly.)
It Christmas and New Yenr celebra
tions have been a wee bit too strenuous,
a) least In their effect, nnd there Is
need for an enlivening influence or
tonic—then take the advice of The
Georgian, and read "Ootty and the
Guv'ner.” The hoik Is all right. There
are no loud guffaws In It. but even-
page therein holds ready for the
reader a good, qtllet laugh that goes
right through you. Try It and see If
you will not enjoy a trip with "Ootty,"
the rugged old skipper, who Inveigles a
landlubber Into buying for him a fish
ing smack, upon which Gotty nnd the
Guv'ner (the owner) take a trip amund
the south end of England. The style
of Mr. Copping la .quite similar to that
of the delightful Auinorlat, Mr. W. W.
Jacobs. But Mr. Copping will not suf
fer by comparison; on the contrary the
ider will gladly welcome a new
comer Into the field of delightful hu
■nor which has, up to the present time,
been monopolized by Mr. Jacobs. The
sea trips are said to be a true acrount
of a real voyage. Whether this Is true
not, does not make uny matter. The
reader will laugh and laugh heartily,
and the next time he sees fin an
nouncement of u book by Mr. Copping,
ho .will' not wait for a review of it be
fore purchasing. ,
There are not many people who can
write a funny story. There are, un
fortunately, n great many who try to.
But Mr. Copping succeeds, as e
denccd In Ills book here discussed.
The Georgian / has wept, instead of
laughed, over so muny would-t>e funny
stories, which, In truth, are criminal
assaults upon one'l peace of mind and
body, (hat It takes plensurc In recoin
mending "Gotty and the Guv’ner.”
"A DOG DAY, or THE ANGEL IN
THE HOU8E.” By Walter Emanuel.
Pictured by Cecil Aldln. (E. P. Dutton
& Co.) Do you own a dog? Have you
got one around the house that keeps
you busy kicking it off the comfort
able chairs and beds of your home,
and when night comes he looks at ybu
with tearful, hopeless eyes, when he Is
cast Into outer darkness?
If. you have or. have not, and simply
wish you had a dog, then you will en
Joy the ridiculous "dlnry" of a dog,
told in Walter Emanuel's little book,
called "A Dog Day." with appealing
pictures by Cecil Aldln. which add
most materially to Ihe Interest of the
hook. It Is a most Rmuslng little pub
lication. A very pleasing little offer
ing you might give -a dog lover, 01
keep for your own self.
The "plot" of the story Is simply the
Itemised, and, to use a sporting term:
"clocked" experiences of the dog for
the twenty-four hours, full of touches
of grotesque humor.
THE AUTOMOBILIST ABROAD."
By Franrles Moulton. (L. C. Page A
Co., Inc.) One of the handsomeft
books published In 1907 was Tho
Automoblllst Abroad." It Is a beauty—
In the way It Is gotten up and In the
text. The author Is a real, sure-
enough motorist. He writes for Ihe
benefit of any of those motor-mad
creatures who, seeking "green fields
ami pastures new,” to say nothing of
victims, may plan a European tour of
conquest and possible carnage.
The author sdys that he bps suffered
terribly (how about his victims?) *“
hi. European travel. and $3.00.
for an automobile. So he attempts to
supply the demand for just what he.
found was needed. And he certainly I
does, for he gives directions for a
successful tour abroad by discussing
an appreciation of the machine; Travel
Talk; Hotels and Things; A Grande
Tour In Touralnne; From Paris to
Bordeaux; By the Seine and Through
the Pyrrannees; The Bath Road In
England; In Flanders and on the Road
l>y the Rhine. Outside of the beautiful
production of the book nnd Illustra
tions. it undoubtedly Is most Interest
ing In Its text, und to any motorist or
would-be European tourist on wheels
no beter book could be secured than
"The Automoblllst Abroad." It Is one
of the handsomest voldines ever pro
duced nt a reasonable price. •
“THE THREE COMRADES.” By
Gifstav Frenssen (Dana, Estes A Co.)
A very strong story Is "The Three
Comrades." It Is Interesting, too, but
not. In an exciting way. It Is a book
that one would cure to read slowly
and carefully ■ to catch " tho real
strength of It—which Is undoubtedly
there.
The story denis first with the lives
of three boys drawn together by the
Very * attraction of their striking dis
similarity of characters. Later, the
book shows them grown to manhood
separated und seeking each his own
chosen goal,' hampered and finally
overcome by his own peculiar fallings.
Finally comes-'reunion at the crisis of
misfortunes when each Is able to bring
to the assistance of the others his own
pnrtleular'good qualities .which surely
wo*. there, If mixed In with the falU
Ings which caused the . misfortunes
themselves. Tho hook Is wonderfully
vivid In Its simple style and |t throbs
with real vllf I. human Interest from
one end to the other.
"The Three Comrades" Is wholesome
nnd strong as well as interesting. It
Is far superior to the usual run of fic
tion offered us and Is rnr too well
written, too full of solid matter 4o ever
be a "best seller," for which wc al
should feel greatly ashamed—but un
fortunately are not.
"SON RILEY RABBIT AND THE
LITTLE GIRL.” By Grace MacGow-
an Cooke. (F. A. Stokes & Co.)
This child's book Is handsomely pro
duced with forty Illustrations from
photographs. It tells the story of the
Little Girl who found and literally took
charge of Son Riley Rabbit. She
adopted the young rabbit with the
knowledge of. If not to the nproval of.
Mammy Rabbit, who Uvea behind the
Little Girl's house on top of the big
hill. Well, anybody can guess what a
good time Ihe Little Olrl had with Son
Riley Rabbit, teaching him how to eat
oatmeal, how to take u bath, how to
enjoy and appreciate Santa Claus and
Christmns, to say nothing of going to
the circus with the Little Girl's fam
ily. Reports have not yet been re
ceived as to Ihe enjoyment Son Rllty
got out of the game, which, no doubt,
Is Just as well, especially as poor Son
Riley Imd to be resuscitated from his
"playing" by hating a heavy stream
of water from the garden hose thrown
on him.
But of the book! That Is pleasing.
Mrs. Cooke has made It with her text
and the photographs most acceptable
to young readers, and a more pleasing
'gift to a young child would be diffi
cult to find.

Many 1 Presidents of Many Minds
choose UNCLE REMUS’S MAGAZINE o«.t «f
Many Magazines of Many Kinds
W E don’t ask yon fo subscribe to Uncle Remus's Magazine just because
President Roosevelt did. Of course, we think that when the man at
the head of a nation of 80,000,000 persons reads, enjoys and praises
a magazine, it must be pretty nearly worth while.
Speaking of Presidents, it might also be added that President Pulliam, of
the National Baseball League, sent $1.00 for his subscription a few days ago;
he wrote that he liked the magazine because there “is no gush,ill it.’’
President Finley, of the Southern Railway, is another subscriber.
So is President Hall, of the Southern Bell Telephone Company.
And likewise President Gompers, the famous labor leader.
Here we have many presidents of many minds, so their interest in Uncle
Remus’s Magazine would seem to show that men diversified in temperament
and views all find something worth while about the magazine. We could say a
great deal about our own publication hut prefer to ask voii to do us the favor to
READ THIS CAREFULLY
It is from “Midland,” published in Cincinnati
“I
' T SEEMS to us In reading the numbers as they appear, that Uncle Remus’s Magazine,
of Atlanta, Georgia, Is the precursor of a new type, that It la In a fair way to mark an
epoch In magazine making. .
“To our mind It comes about as near expressing the New Idea—the readjustment to
normal conditions after the frenzied onslaught on public patronage .which began with th# first
ten-cent monthly—as anything which has yet been evolved. This readjustment must corno
sooner or Jater and It la our humble opinion that It is very near at hand.
“There Is nothing wooden or tpaehlne-like about Uncle Remus's. Every page of It Is
literature because Its articles, Its comments and departments, are correlated and Intcr-related
with the life of the real 8outh nnd with each other.
“It Is the living breath of the South—-not the Old South or the New South, but of all
the eunny section—though so artlessly and naturally are the new and the old blended In its
pages that one would not know that by some, at least, a distinction la supposed to exist
"There will, we trust. In time be magazines representative and expressive of nil tho
great sections of the United States, and the South leada In thia movement with Uncle Remus't
Magazine.”
Now, Uncle Remus’s Magaziuo is published right at your doors. It is the
first genuinely ambitious effort to establish a magazine in the South.
YOU are the person tlrht can send Uncle Remus’s Magazine to the crest of
success. It requiren a certain amount of fuel to keep up energy. YOUR $1,00
