McCon nells drug store PUBLIC FREE LIBRARY NOTES A book of which mention has already been mado in this column but which seems to be worthy of more extended notice is the Little Shopherd of King dom Come by John Fox It is a story of Kentucky life before and during the war One has in this book a glimpse of tho primitivo existence of tho mountain eer frei picturesque almost barbar ous not unattractive in some ways in others mean and narrow One seestoo life as it was lived on tho great estates of the blue grass life as nearly ideal it may bo believed as it is possible for men to lead on earth rof the blue grass whore wealth and culture abound and where every stranger was welcomed To those of us who came after the distressing period of the civil war the latter half of the book is perhapsmost interesting A vivid picture of the con ditions that prevailed on the border be tweeu north and south is drawn No where were tho horrors of that conflict more keenly realized than there Else where the majority of the residents of a community were either federalists or confederates Few southern sympathiz ers were in tho north few northern sym pathizers were in tho south but in Ken tucky even families were divided one brother going to battle with the blue while tho other threw his lot in with tho gray While we must conclude that our author believed in the justice of the un ion cause still he does not hesitate to criticise the conduct of tho war on the part of the north At this late day when we can give to these questions the calm deliberation they demand we must admit that his denunciations are deserv ed Of course only the immediate effects of Avar are dealt with here If one would know of wars permanent effect he should read the Present Epidemic of Crime in the November number of the Century where all too briefly a man who writes in quite a different vein than Fox discusses war from another standpoint One can pick flaws in tho Little Shep herd It seems scarcely to deserve the enthusiasm the critics have expended upon it It is a pretty harmless whole some tale but hardly great It is a romance and in romance the author is permitted certain liberties that a realist may not take The romanticists story needs not be true needs not even be probable so long as it entertains and is not burlesque We may not pass judg ment then because some of the inci dents seem to be a little overdrawn be cause we may doubt whether men and women in real life would have done as the authors characters are made to do for it is a matter of no consequence whether they would or not If one L RAILROAD NEWS ITEMS Engine 318 has arrived from navelock Engineer Walter Stokes is on the sick list Engincor William Wood has returned to work Engineer F G Westland was up from Lincoln
