“TETHERED TRUANTS ’
And an Jlnterestieg Sketch of
the Society to the Philistines
In the June issue oi Curren Lit
erature there is an article “Fifty
B st Bloks.” It gives the result of
an interesting ballot instituted by
the New York State Librarian at
Albany who mailed a list of four
hundred and eighty nine books
published during the year to eight
hundred librarians with a request
that each recipient, select from the
list the fifty best books for a village
library. From those lists returned
the books mentioned the meat

bered in the order of importan.ee
indicated by their respective votes.
Barrie’s Sentimental Tommy
leads them all in popularity, Sir
George Tressady, by Mrs. Ward
coming next. The fourth named is
Life an Letters of Oliver Wendell
Holmes, Morse, and again we see
Barrie’s popularity with Margaret
Ogilvy coming fifth. The list is
valuable to those who want a li
brary of popular books, but 1 cun
not see why it should be called the
“Best Books of the Year,” or the
“Thu Ones That Are Best Worth
Having.” There are a vast number
of people who prefer to read the
books that otner people read and
they therefore select the ones most
widely advertised—or else those is
sued by Herper, Scribner and
ether standard publishers 01
course, they ask for these at the li
brary, and the librarian who is
equally influenced by the opinion
of others, decides that’ these must
be the best books. As all publish
ing houses are in the busines for
t,he money there is to be made it is
very hard to know ir the standard
they maintain is based upon finan
cial recommenation or literary
merit. They of'.en publish very
grave rubbish over a popu'ar name
and occasionally a good book from
an obscure author. But they are
aottisayto the new authors as.
Corbett said to Fitzsimmons, “Win
your reputation and lheu I’ll con
sider you. ”
Not every one, however, knows
of the books of the Philistines.
They area band of “literary fellers”
who write as they think, and think
as God and life permits them.
They are independent of the old
publishing houses because type is
cheap and they often print their
own books or band together to
print them so that they may enjoy
each other’s contemplations.
There are many Phistines outside

full of the love
and brightness and joy fulness of mutual
love and helpfulness, and healthy, rosy,
rollicking children, or, tortured with pain
and sickness and mutual fault-finding and
dependence, and lacking the binding tie of
healthy, happy offspring. A world depends
upon the young wife. If she has taken
proper care of herself and is healthy in a
womanly way, the probabilities are all tn fa
vor of a happy home filled with the music
of childish laughter. Too many young wo
men neglect to take care of their womanly
selves. They shrink frem the distasteful
“examinations” and treatment”
upon which most physicians insist- There
is no need for this.
Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription acts dir
rectly on the important and delicate organs
foncerned in wifehood and motherhood. It
makes them strong and healthy. It allays
inflammation, heals ulceration, soothes pain
and gives the tortured nerves rest and tone.
It prepares for wifehood and maternity.
Taken during the expectant period, it ban
ishes discomfort and makes the coming of
baby easy and comparatively painless. If
insures the new-comer’s health and an am
ple supply of natural nourishment. Over
90,000 women have testified to its merits.
Druggists who offer substitutes aim to get
a few pennies extra profit.
Dr. Pierce’s great book, “ Cotntnpn Sense
Medical Adviser,” would prevent more
than half the.sickness in any family. It
gives the best advice for curing common
ailments without a doctor. It tells all
about anatomy and physiology and the
origin of life, and is the most valuable,
practical medical work ever printed. A

But I am thinking of a book

The writer is Dr. W. C. Cooper
of Cleves, Ohio ard bis hook is
Tethered Truants. It is filled with
all the sentiment thut is seD'iment
beneath its brown covers one can
feel a great heart throbbing, watch
the work'ngs of a strong mind, see
the thoughts of a real man who is
tender enough to joy J and sorrow
and feel with the world around
him. Dr. Cooper is realist and ro
mantist, philosopher and poet.
He is a true poet. His prose is
forceful, and in the quaint hashes
of wit, I am reminded of Washing
ton Irving, because he Dever seems
to try to be funny. His deep re
ligious thought is evidenced by
several articles in Thethe.e 1 Tru
ants. This has been, said of his
most spiritual poem:
“It is object of poetns like Irene
and some prose as well, to draw at
tention to the possibility of the ex
istence of such an ennobling, ele
vating, spiritualizing love and to
purify and exalt our thought by a
contemplation of it * * * A
spiritual Joye, tender aS a mother’s
kiss and deep as the uttermost
fountains of being, true as the stajs
and as bright as the sun • a spirit
ual love, tender, true and deep, re*
fining earthly passions and rising
superior to the incubus of things
material.” How well Irene fulfills
its mission may be seen by the
reader.
IRENE.

And pillow yourbeadon my yearning breast—
-I’illow it there and at last find rest
Like a tired bird in its little nest,
My beautiful fallen queen—

Come to my eager arms, Irene;
Fly from the tinsel and glitter andtlare
That dazzle the soul, us tlipy hidp Uie snare

Come to my open arms, Irene;

E’en by the wretch who caused your fall
and settled upon you tins dreadful pall,

Another book, by one of the
Philistines, is Little Journeys to
the Homes of Good Men and Great,
by Elbert’ Hubbard. It is very
brightly written aud avoids the
dry statements of facte and figures
that escape the memory, but gives
enough date to impress the charnc
te~ and surrounding of each sub
ject upon the reader. Stephen Crane

The West River, in China, was
finally opened ou Wednesday last
to steamers up to Woochow Foo,
on the border line between the
provinces of Kwang Tung and
Kwang Sc, p distance of 250 miles
from the sea. This is practically
equivalent to the opening of a
railway of that length from Hong
kong through the great tea-grow
ing region of Southern China ; but
while that enterpr.sing British
colony may reap the largest im
mediate gain from this concession,
and possibly at some expense to
the trade of Canton, the opening
to steam navigation of a river,
which flows through two rich and
populous Chinese provinces must
be considered an event of consid
erable significance for the com
