MITCHELL, THE EDITOR OK OP SOITHERSi LIFE. and Three i I lie Buck Wmoilm." No reader who is Intelligently Interpste i in svhat may, perhaps too modestly, be called the minor problems of our civilization, should fail to read the new volume of essays by Charles Dudley Warner, enti led "The Relation of iture to Life." Mr. Warner is sincere and very much in earnegt in his discussion of the relation of books to daily bread, of the cultivation of one class io the needs tli- class below it, simplicity to life, of the theory of equality to the f-rael uf the "intentions of progress" which underlies the history of the nations to civilization, and the has to say about all these subjects are not only intrinsically sane, wholesome and optimistic, but are delightfully said, as well. His essay upon equality is a brief review of a subject, and full of the wisdom which is outcome of experience. If some such outline of what equality really Is, some such doctrine of civilizing the individual in the line of his ities, could become a part of the world's daily thinking and acting, a quarter of the difficulties and half of the bitterness of existence would be lated at once.

His essafy on "Modern Fiction" goes directly to the root of the matter in saying, apropos of the realists, "The failure is not that vulgar themes arc treated, but that the treatment is vulgar." No one has made this statement quite so explicitly and it is one of which our buddins; realists would do well to ponder. is. in truth, more material for reflection in this unpretentious volume than in any other book of the last six months. i "The Relation of Literature to Life." by a Dudley Warner.

For sale by the St. Paul Book and Stationery company.) Benjamin Swift, the young Scotch writer whom Mr. Barrie says is bound tn be one of the best-known novelists in England in a few years, is as yet a man whose work is to be watched rather than to read. In other words, Noon," Mr. Swift's first novel, is more powerful than pleasant, and chaotic than powerful.

The book )tt of witches' broth in which id ill simmer together, and the writer is still so young that imagines himself giving- us a draught of the cup of life in this repellant mixture. He looks at his characters as Dickens looked; he tells of them much in the manner of Meredith, but. being young and enthusiastic, his Hi mure quickly and harden Into less contorted shapes. He announces the world Somewhat after the fashion of Carlyle, though of course the it of his invective runs in a narrow channel. The world is a bad world, chiefly because the lovers story found it so.

ITe does not arit at large. The characters of the tale are all distorted figures. It is as if instead of watching- the world steadily with calm eyes, the writer had turned his back upon it and observed the procession of the living as it passed, in some lying- mirror that showed but twisted shapes. He brings to his however, such reserves of enthusiasm, youthful certainty and at times good-will that the reader is impressed with something of the author's own confidence in the and essity of his own work. Tlie work Itself.we may say, apart from this insistent conviction of the worker, would hardly give us the same idea, Mr.

Swift is epigrammatic at times, but oftener in intention than in execu- epigrams fail to hit the work more frequently than not, and yet are good. On the whole, however, the faults of the books are those of superabundance rather than of deficiency, and are therefore likely to be lied. But for pleasurable reading, commend us to Mr. Swift's fourth novel rather than his first. Xoon," by Benjamin Charles Seribner's Sons.

I a scant half dozen of Mr. J. A. Mitchell's airy little sketches which have a certain saucy grace and distinction of their own, easy to appreciate and enjoy, but eluding description. However, as Mr.

Mitchell is the editor of "Life" and all three tales, except "Mrs. L.of' ter's Ride," have appeared in that periodical, it is not necessary to describe them, for everybody reads Life. The title story is a distinctly engaging account of the wooing of the first man, which, on the whole, except limitations in the matter of choice, appears to been very like later wooings in its essential particular. The first woman seems very much up date and yet exhibits all those amiable failings which her daughters habitually attribute to Eve. "Mrs.

Loiters Hide" is delightfully amusing sketch of the experiences of Mrs. Chillingwortb born Topping, in a Broadway cable ear, where she had recklessly adventured one day when her horses were Biezed with the blind staggers, but I perhaps the most charming of the stories is "A Bachelor's Supper," in which for once the author's sentiment gets the better of his humor, and, though both are admirable of their kind, the former is perhaps finer than the ku ter. First Affair," by J. A. Mitchell.

Charles Serlbner'a Sons. $1.:5. For sale by the St. Paul Hook and Stationery company.) "An Elephant's Track and Other Stories," by M. EL M.

Davis, is a volume of Southern tales of unequal merit. At their best they are wholly admirable. I The book is divided into three sections: the lirst deals realistically with life "along Jim-Ned creek;" in the cond will be found tales that have to do -with things apart from common with legends, mysteries and restless spirits of the dead. "The Soul of Dede," is the finest of these, and it is a marvelous bit of imaginative work. The third section.

"From the Quarter," comprises stories in which colored characters are chiefly prominent. Mrs. Davis has an alert imaginai tJ6n and a vivid, almost feverish sense AT THE MASQIERADE, You a shepherdess? Why, where's your crook? Shepherdess Aren't you with me? of the picturesque. Those of the stories which are not as good as the best, fail chiefly because they are pitched in too high a key. The tragedy is to.o unrelieved, too tense.

title story of the volume relates the adventures of the Pinson family, who traveled thirty miles to go to the fircus, only to have Pinson here gamble away their ticket -money after arriving on the grounds. Thereupon they turned homeward, having seen nothing save an elephant's track in the dust. This story and the account of Mr. Benjamin Franklin Fish's ball could hardly be improved in subject or manner. They are humorous, tender, sympathetic.

If Mrs. Davis will but give us a whole volume of such there could be no doubt as to their welcome. (An Elephants Track," by M. E. M.

Davis. Harper Bros. $1.50. For Bale by the St. Paul Book and Stationery company.) "Opals From a Mexican Mine" is the title of a volume of very well written stories which yet have no adequate excuse for existing-.

The Mexican setting of the tales is novel and sufficiently interesting, but the stories themselves are weak and worthless. They show absolutely no knowledge of the human heart and no grip on any of the controlling influences of life, save an incoherent and spasmodic passion. The writer could have made a far better book of the material at his hand had the tales been the expression of a more rugged personality, which is the same thing as saying that a different book would have been a better one.

"Tommy-Anne and the Three Hearts" is a nature-book for children by Mrs. Mabel Osgood Wright, whose books for grown people, "The Friendship of Nature" and "Birdcraft," have been greatly liked by lovers of the literature of out-of-doors. Tommy- Anne, whose real name is Diana, is a little girl who wants to know the "why" of things. After she has once learned the language of birds and beasts and growing things, they tell her about themselves, and she learns a vast number of interesting and accurate as well as a great many pretty The book is calculated to interest children in out-of-door things, and to answer a great ma ay of the questions to which their parents might find it convenient to respond on the spur of the moment.

and the Three Hearts by Mabel Osgood Wright. The Marmillan company. $1.50. For sale by the St. Paul Book and Stationery company.) "The Scrape That Jack Built" is a lively and entertaining story for young people.

It is, indeed, a trifle too lively. The writer seems afraid of making her children prigs, and runs to the other extreme. As a result the characters are rather slangy and unduly effervescent, in a way that is less pleasant in literature than in life. It may be that Jack and Perry and Dorothy, and the rest are as well-bred and well-behaved be the young people of this generation ever are. but if the fact reflects upon this generation.

Palladia is a princess, the eldest daughter of H.

S. the Prince of Sohoumburg Valdai, and when the novel opens she is telling stories to her little in her ancestral halls, while a snowstorm ragts without. She is interrupted in this occupation by the arrival of the Grand Duke of Corenthla, who Is seeking a bride. With this Palladia's adventures begin and they are vivaciously told and interesting to hear, and are. somehow, not very sensational, though they involve dynamite and fire and sword.

Mrs. Fraser writes rather too copiously. The book would have been a better one had it been cut down by a third, but the author is obviously sincerely interested in her own ters a fact which almost of necessity interests the reader in them also, and the movement of the narrative is rapid though often impeded by rather purposeless dialogue. by Mrs. Hugh Fraser.

It is. In fact, just a little bit stupid. As Mr. Harris is never In the least dull when writing for children, it seems a pity that he should attempt books designed for their elders, especially as the latter are his most delighted audience when they listen to his tales over the young people's shoulders.

Boston, lloughton. Mifflin Co. $1.50. For sale by the St. Paul Book and Stationery company.) Two strong stories of life in the mountains of West Virginia make up Langdon Elwyn Mitchell's volume.

"Love in the One is a comedy and the other tragic in its tone, If not entirely so in its ouitcome. The latter is the better tale, but both are good. Mr. Mitchell handles his mountaineers in a way that convinces the reader of their lifelikeness and also of their humanity. They are primitive, certainly, but we recognize in their primitive traits the familiar faces of qualities which we know in more civilized garb.

The unity of human nature is a safe principle, for the writer of strongly localized stories to use as a foundation. Mr. Mitchell has made a good beginning in so good that he is never likely to be reproached for falling short of the standard required of his father's son. in the Backwoods," by Langdon Elwyn Mitchell.

One of the notable contributions to the January Forum is a review by Theodore Roosevelt of Brooks Adams' "'Law of Civil ization and Decay." in which the writer while according abundant praise to the merits of that work, effeotualy scores Its inadequacies. Other interesting articles in the same number are "Leo by De Vogue and Modern Composers in the Light of Con' temporary Criticism," by Moszkowski.

"The Meaning of the Votes," by Henry Cabot Lodge, in the current number of the North American Review, is an. incisive analysis of the results of the late election.

NEW YORK, Jftn. St. Joseph's Roman Catholfc church at Hoboken. N. was robbed of a valuable gold and silver chaJlce.

Father McElvoy, the rector, on entering the sacristy, found a man there, and asked what he was The man replied that he was waiting to gge one of the priests. "I am a priest," said Father McElvoy. 'Yes, but not the one I want to see," replied the man. Then he walked out of the sacristy and hastened down the road. A few minutes afterwards, Father McElvoy discovered that one of four chalices belonging- to the church was missing.

The other three chalices were standing on top of the cabinet outside of the case in which they were. Father McElvoy then recalled that, when the man he found in the churc'a left, he carried something under" his coat. He now believes that it was the missing chalice. The man has not been found. BEER AGAINST TIME.

Mtlwtiukee Saloonkeeper SIO on a Novel Wager. MILWAUKEE, Jan the first and last sound of the city hall bell, when striking the hour of 10, sufficient time is given to a person to drink ten ordinary glasses of beer. This was demonstrated by an East Water street saloonkeeper yesterday morning. He won a $10 bet by doing so. SI ortly before 10 o'clock there was a discussion in the saloon about the bell.

The saloonkeeper remarked that its strokes were too slow. In proof of his assertion he offered to bet $1 that he could drink ten half pint glasses of beer while the tower clock struck that hour. One of the men in the saloon put up $10 against the saloonkeeper's $1 that he could not do so. A few seconds before 10 o'clock the saloonkeeper began to draw a glass of beer from the tap and when the tower clock began to strike he gulped it down. While drinking it he filled another glass and so on until ten glasses had been consumed just as the last stroke was heard.

The saloonkeeper took his $10 and announced that in a few days he will try to break the record. EMPTY SHELL. Serious Agralnst the Hit-I-ness of Dreyer Co. CHICAGO, Jan. Sensational charges concerning the business of E.

S. Dreyer the bankers, were made in Judge Freeman's court today in an intervening petition brought in behalf of Mrs. Maria. Leicht. It is charged that property mortgaged as security for a note for $3,000, upon which Mrs.

Leicht was regularly paid interest, had been disposed of without her knowledge, and that the schedule of liabilities as prepared by the receiver, will be greatly increased if other charges of a similar nature soon to be made the subjects of petition, are substantiated, as similar mortgages scheduled as assets will really b( come liabilities. The Economist says today, referring to the Dreyer failure: "The depositors in the bank will get little or nothing. The statement which has been prepared shows that the bank was an empty shell, with some $1,400,000 of liabilities when the bank closed, with only $9,000 cash on hand." EXPERTS TO SET TYPE FOR FAME.

Interesting Experience of an In.Ua- napolis Gentleman. No trouble is more common or more misunderstood than nervous dyspepsia. Feople having: it think that their nerves are to blame and are surprised that they are not cured by nerve medicine and spring remedies; the real seat ot the mischief is lost sight -of; the stomach Is the organ to be looked after. Nervous dyspeptics often do not have any pain whatever in the stomach, nor perhaps any of the usual symptoms of stomach weakness. Nervous dyspepsia shows itself not in the stomach so much as in nearly every other organ; in some cases the heart palpitates and is irregular; in others the kidneys are affected; in others the bowels are constipated, with headaches; still others are troubled with loss of flesh and appetite, with accumulation of gas, sour risings and heartburn.

Mr. A. W. Sharper, of No. 61 Prospect street, Indianapolis, writes as "A motive of pure gratitude prompts me to write these few lines regarding the new and valuable medicine, Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets.

1 have been a sufferer from nervous dyspepsia for the last four years; have iiped various patent medicines and other remedies- without any favorable result. They sometimes gave temporary relief until the effects of the medicine wore off. I attributed this to my sedentary habits, being a bookkeeper with little physical exercise, but I am glad to state that the tablets have overcome all these obstacles, for I have gained in flesh, sleep better, and am better in every way. The above is written not for notoriety, but is based en actual fact." Respectfully yours, A. W.

Sharper, 61 Prospect Indianapolis, Ind. It is safe to say that Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets will cure any stomach weakness or disease except cancer of stomach. They cure sour stomach, gas. of flesh and appetite, sleeplessness, palpitation. heartburn.
