THE BOOK TABLE (Continued) in their appeal, and this simple song with its simple melody lives in spite of changing fashions and changing conditions. Could anything be more appropriate than the following lines on a white marble slab which marks Payne's grave in Tunis: Sure, when thy gentle spirit fled To realms beyond the azure dome, With arms outstretched God's angels said, "Welcome to Heaven's Home, Sweet Home!" His remains were brought to the land of his birth at the expense of W. W. Corcoran in 1883, and they now rest in Oakhill Cemetery, Washington. Quite Just one hundred years after its romantic conception the manuscript, containing the original score, words and music signed and dated, has found a resting-place on these shores. recently it was bought for $1,540 by Mr. Sibley, of Rochester, and presented by him to Rochester University Library. Galli-Curci was anxious to procure this original manuscript for her own famous collection, and, inasmuch as she is to-day the best interpreter of the world-famous song, perhaps she was entitled to it. FICTION PILGRIM'S REST. By Francis Brett Young. E. P. Dutton & Co., New York. $2. This is not the first novel Mr. Young has written dealing with mining life and economic problems. This present story has its scene in South America and its time is the period just before the war. As "The Black Diamond" presented the toil and limitations of the coal miner's life, so here the author deals with that of the gold miner, but includes many other phases of life, character, and struggle. The book has a certain solid value, but for charm and tenseness we still look back to the author's "The Tragic Bride" as his best work. TOLSTOI'S DRAMATIC WORKS. Translated by Nathan Haskell Dole. The Thomas Y. Crowell Company, New York. $2.50. Mr. Dole is well known as the translator of Tolstoi and other Russian auThis volume contains Tolstoi's thors. plays, includes some things found after his death, and has the advantage, as compared with former editions of some of the plays, of having been compared with the original text and of containing passages cut out by Russian censors. HILLS POETRY GIVE PROMISE (THE): LYRICS. CARMUS: A SYMPHONIC POEM. By Robert Silliman Hillyer. The B. J. Brimmer Company, Boston. $1. Robert Hillyer already has given evi dence, of his skill in the sonnet and other verse forms, through which he is able to gain poignant emotional and musical effects. The first part of this book will support his reputation in this respect. Many of the lyrics and sonnets Ideal with the emotions attendant upon romantic love and its passing, often with genuine and successfully communicated feeling. In some instances, however, the content runs thin behind the skill, and some of the pieces are merely accomplished verse, or less. The musi Send for the Charmed Land booklet, brimming cal analogies-such poems as "Andante," with vacation suggestions. No visitor to any part of the Pacific Coast should fail to travel at least one way via Seattle and the Charmed Land. SEATTLE CHAMBER OF COMMERCE SEATTLE "Threnody," and "Nocturne"-reveal an interest in the sister art which may explain the author's successful manipulation of syllabic and tonal effects. The "Eight Pastorals" mark the high point in this section of the book for simple, natural, and musical utterance. The symphonic poem is a parable of Center of America's Summer Playground man's spiritual adventure in quest of union with an envisioned perfection; and, while an opulence of imagination and a certain engaging simplicity of treatment render it occasionally captivating, it is not, on the whole, profoundly moving. The last canto, however-which is philosophical summary— is an excellent poem in itself, closely wrought, finely written, and glowing with a high intellectual passion. The volume as a whole brings together some effective and pleasing pieces of work by a man skilled in his art. The book is mechanically attractive (printed on French glaslan, deckle-edge, hand-made paper) and contains five striking symbolic drawings by Beatrice Stevens. ROCK FLOWER. By Jeanne Robert Foster. Boni & Liveright, New York. $1.75. Poetry extraordinarily dowered with a rich and sane imaginative quality, genuine emotional content, and the tang of life is to be found in this volume, which is Mrs. Foster's third book. What one regrets is that selection of material sometimes went wide of these things to include the now-familiar phenomenon of short vers libre, in which thought and emotion are grown acutely self-conscious and self-observant, with the usual result of preciosity. This is all very accomplished, of its kind; but it brings no contribution to the spirit. On the other hand, most of the poems in "Songs of Evin" and "Winds in Wild Grass"-the two best sections of the book-are instinct with the mystery and terror and pity that are at the heart of life. "Upon the Sea" and "Loneliness I" are exquisitely wrought lyrics. These and some others are done with genuine feeling and with a high degree of technical skill. The same may be said of "In Patterned Cloths," a group of sonnets distinctively feminine in psychology. On the whole, the book is rich in poetic values and the work bears the imprinted contours of an individual mind. YANKEE NOTIONS. By George S. Bryan. Yale University Press, New Haven. $1.25. Mr. George S. Bryan belongs to that group of writers who have forged their way into bound volumes by the pleasing path of F. P. A.'s daily newspaper col"Yankee Notions" is a diverting volume, rich in humor, and particularly faithful in its rendering of the color and umn. characteristics of New England village life. A sample of his notions is to be found in "Nigh to Jericho:" A golden fortnight we had come afoot Across the Green Hills. We had looked upon Willoughby Lake, in all its highland charm; And Memphremagog, whose discordant name Belies its beauty, linked with Whittier's muse. Up breezy tracks we climbed and in dark glens We rested, or beside a vocal brook, In the warm odors of the evergreens. We stood on Mansfield's summit and beheld A crumpled world-gigantic parapets And headlong scarps-stretched like a giant's dream; While, seen afar through that untroubled air, Lay shimmering the long glory of Champlain. And then, as we drew on toward Jericho, A gaffer hailed us from a moss-hung barn, Wishing to know what matters called us forth Old Home Week, so he ventured; or perhaps A ball play, or a drill at Burlington? "No, uncle," some one said, "we're simple chals, Just taking in the scenery." With mistrust He eyed us and our budgets. "Why," said he, "I've druv across these hills fer forty year An'"-this with scornful stress-"I never see No scen'ry!" And he watched us out of sight. TRAVEL AND DESCRIPTION $3.50. WANDERINGS IN THE QUEENSLAND BUSH. By W. Lavallin Puxley. Houghton Mifflin Company, Boston. Writing largely from the view-point of a naturalist, yet in plain layman language, the author, a young Englishwoman, describes in an unconventional manner hundreds of the exotic trees and animals, plants and birds, of one of the most favored parts of the Australian Continent. Many interesting side-lights on life in Australia, concerning the people, the aborigines, the pioneers, politics, and life on a "station" or ranch are woven into the narrative. The author has been chiefly in the "out back" of the island continent, where "the weird scenery, and the endless sounds and sights and scents, and the curious animals hopping about, and the 'strange bright birds' flying overhead in flocks, and a number of other wonderful things make the Australian bush a thing to dream about." You Bonded for 20 and 10 Years OU are not only insured against roof repair expense but you are safeguarded against all roof troubles.

Stidger, pastor of St. Mark's Church of Detroit. Both Mr. Stidger's interviews have been written from the point of view of an admiring friend of the Detroit manufacturer. His opinion of Henry Ford, however, cannot be abruptly dismissed on this account, even by those who disagree with it. Political opponents of Henry Ford might as well admit that there is magic in his name. Any intelligent opposition to him must be based on a recognition of this fact. Pat. Dec, 17, 1912.
