Life in Constantinople Twelve Centuries Ago "THE BEAUTY OP THE PURPLE." tty William Staarna Davis The Macmil lan company, New York, publishers. George Maeauley Trevelyan, hlm nelf a historian of note, writing on "History and Literature," gives us this illuminating sentence: "The ob ject of the academic study both of history and of literature is to make the dead live, to record the manifold adventures of the spirit of man.” Just In that mood has Dr. Davis set him self to his latest fine contribution to • history. One who has read Gibbon gets the notion that Leo the Isaurlan came to the throne of Constantinople at a very important epoch in the his tory of the empire. He repulsed the Moslem attack on the city, which so nearly succeeded, and established a peace that was observed for seven centuries. Dr. Davis has seized this, and with rare skill and the highest possible sense of dramatic values has furnished an account of how a peas ant boy came to be a Byzantine em peror. He reconstructs the life of the people of Constantinople when that city was the center of a brilliant civil ization and London and Paris were l he squalid towns of rude barbarians. Iyove and politics, religion and war, tnlngle in the tale which would he fascinating for Itself. When consid ered in conhection with Its true value as an adjunct to history, It Is worthy of a place In the growing list of worth-while things being done by this thoughtful student and Industrious writer.

How the aoul may hold the body, ,h« intellect, to a straight course, is illustrated in this strong, clearly i < asoned Ule by an American woman u ho has been writing for the Eng lish public for many years.

Fifty years ago the author of this unvarnished tale was'and had been for some time a bullwhacker. By v ihat is meant he drove a team con sisting of from five to seven yoke of oxen across the untracked. Indian-in fested region between the railroad and the army posts and Indian agen cies. Few men cared to engage In i he business, yet It had its compen sations. The railroad points in Hook er's narrative are Sidney and Chey enne. The other terminals are Fort I'etterman, Camp Robinson, Red i'loud agency and Fort Douglas. Ills story Is modestly told, and deals all i he way through with facts. Names lie mentions are nil well known In Omaha. It is an Interesting contri bution to the Pioneer Life series. Police Dog’s Traits, Troubles and Triumphs • I HPI POtvICE DOO." by David Brock well; O. Howard Walt, New York, publisher. Americans have heard a great deal nhout the police dog during l he last eight or 10 years, hut not many hate c orns to think of him as a shepherd dog. Yet- he really is the German shepherd dog. Mr. Brockwell, who i ealiy does know about the popular • nnine breed, treats of this variety entertainingly and authoritatively in Ids book. Care lrt the kennel, in the i ud, training of the puppies, selec lion of breed, all a beginner ought to ;:now, Is cleared up. Habits, dis uses, peculiarities, all are treated with clarity and directness. An In iraduotlon by George Q. Anderson, V. S., and many Illustrations by R. \V.

Above, left to right, are George K. Killan and Samuel Kerr. Ue ow. left to right, are J. t. Ross. John Elder and James E. Kirkwood. Kirkwood came from Scotland, where he has h m preaching. The other four are from the vicinity or Belfast, in Ireland. An oversupply of ministers in Ire land and Scotland is resulting in an influx into Omaha of young Irish men desiring to become clergymen through studies at the Omaha Pres byterian Theological seminary. Three! of them arrived from the vicinity of Belfast last week, all eager for a glimpse of the United States and a taste of the education the country affords. These young men, wiyi one from Ardrossen. Scotland, were admitted to the United States as “non-quota" students, which enabled them to ar rive in time for the opening of the seminary instead of awaiting their turn as afforded by immigration laws. The three men from Ireland are Georje Kiilan, who married just be foie leaving Ireland and thus eon verted the long journey into a honey moon; Thomas Kerr and -John Elder, who was connected with the mission at Belfast. .lames E. Kirkwood io the fourth to cross the Atlantic, com ing here from Ardrossen. where lie had been preaching for two years. All four of these young men arc entering a three-year\ course. In the upper classes are five more men froni Ireland: John Caldwell of Bally mena. i noman mu "» n«»jw«wu (there's one in Ireland. 190), James C. Knitters and George K.

Lippinrott company, Philadelphia, publishers A second edition of this remarkable collection of gossip, tittle tattle, h-no dal and history, is offered in America. In Europe five editions have been de manded. Probably a similar num ber will be needed to supply the pub lic on this side. Whoever the author* and his identity is carefully con cealed, he has the faculty for telling his story in such a way that it does not flag. Presumably high placed In the foreign service of Great Britain, in position to meet the great nnd the near great as well, he sets out some intimate information. Much of it Is of the sort one herds over teacups of in secluded corners. Some is of true historical value. All eof it is good reading. For America the greatest Interest will be in the account of the visit of the grandfather of the pres ent prince of Wales to the I’nited States. You will meet prize fighters, gamblers, loose women and all that, and find them mingling with royal personages, great statesmen, soldiers and political leaders. Spendthrifts and tight wads, and here and there somebody who really is decent move through the pages. And. whoever the author, he is a raconteur of flu ency. familiar with the language as he Is seemingly with the unwritten history of an interesting epoch. How a Man May Chanpc * His Mind About Woman ins SECOND VENTURE"—By Ballllo Reynolds- Ueorsre H. Doran Ac Co., New York, publishers. Mrs. Baiilie Reynolds has set her mark as a writer of readable fiction. She knows how to conceive a notion, pick a set of characters to fit, and then lead them through the mazes of a plot, not too Intricate, but always with a new interest awaiting the turn of the page. In this tale she has not let down the fraction of a hair. Married against his will, the hand some and dashing Col. Carfrae Caron In the Winkling of an eye skips off to lead an expedition into the wilds from which he will probably never return. What Val, his young bride, does when she discovers the treachery and what, happens when the hand some colonel does return make a story of gripping force. “Romance o f the Soul.” In "Surrender' (the Macauiy rom pany. New York), an anonymous au thor discusses with much directness but uncommon tact the problem of a man who loved his wife, but took a concubine. The Intriguing part of the story Is that the latter is por trayed as "virtuous and possessed of high ideals," but she bears a son to her unlawful lord, whose legal wife is childless. From there the argu ment proceeds until the wife agrees to adopt and the wonfen to relinquish the son. That seems to be the object of the tale. Whatever of romance is concerned is of the sordid variety. Pointers on Stories and Their Writers "CARGOES FOR CRFSOKS”—By Grunt Overton. Ooorice H. Doran A- «. o..
