Works on n Vnrlct- n(
Subject.
Kor his new volume of short stories,
twelve In number, Henry James has choen
tho general title, "The Soft Side." Cross
examine! an to tho renson of this choice,
Mr. James, wo itmet assume, would merely
answer, that "such was his humor," for It
is certain that It Is only In somo exceed
ingly remoto and far-fetched senso that the
tltlo can be Bald to describe tho contents
of tho book. As for tho stories themselves,
it must be enough to say of them that they
are Henry James, through and through.
Clever they are, of course for when does
Mr. James wrlto anything that Is not clever?
Hut equally, of course, their cleverness Is of
that perverse nnd exasperating kind which
has como to characterize nearly all his later
work. Onco again we havo his remorseless
elaboration of slmplo themes which uro made
romplex by over-subtle hundllng, and a
stylo ho roflncd nnd mnnuerlstlc that It Is
ometlmes necessary to read a Hentcnce
twlco or thrice to make suio of Us meaning
and structure. Tho Macmlllau company,
New York. Trice, Jl.GO.
Another vol u mo from the samo publisher
Is "The Ilennett Twins," by (Jrnco Mar
guerite Hurd, a story dealing with strug
gling art llfu In the llohemla of New York.
Twin brother nnd slater, orphans, who havo
been reared in thu family of a woll-to-do
country undo nnd who ha"n pronounced
tasteti for munto and painting, go to New
York on a very s.mall capital for nrtlstlc
instruction. Tho Btory Is a somewhat ml;
nule history of tholr struggles In tho me
tropolis, of their modcrato success In tholr
vocations and of their return homo with col
ors flying nfter an nbsenco of two years.
Home queer characters nro Introduced and
many amusing scenes nnd Incldentn nro de
scribed, but tho story ends without pro
nounced results beyond a demonstration of
their ability denied by tho uncle to live
in New York for n year without assistance
from home. Tho Mncmlllan company, Now
York. Trice, $U0.
Seldom Is tho rending public presented
with n boolc of fiction more perfect of Its
kind than Is "Tho Heart of tho Ancient
Wood." Prof. Itoborts Is In tho proso of
naturo what flldnoy I.nnier was in us
poetry. His lovo of tho forest, his accu
mulated knowledge and poetical delineation
of wild life, human as well as animal, havo
no parallels. Tho naturo work of Kipling
and of Scton-Thompson are essentially dif
ferent In typo and purpose. In tho ro
manco of nuturo Prof. nobcrtH.i'J really
n pioneer, for In his book, "Harth's Knlg
mns," published como half dn7.cn years
go, he opened n Held of elemental romance
where there were no models to follow
and In which ho moves oh a master. His
new hook Is one to keep and re-read. Sil

Arthur Henry has written something out
nt tho ordinary In "A Princess of Arcady."
It Is a dollcnto romance, which heislns
with two children on n llttlo river Island
and ends with n delightful lovo scono llv
an old-fashioned garden, now surrounded
by n great nity, but having lost nono or
Its fascination. Some critics havo com
pared It to "Paul and Virginia" In Its cnlm
and pure Idyllic atmosphero and It presents
a striking contrast to the Ktrenuous nnd
often unpleasant Action that la bo com
mon nowadays. Doubleday, Page & Co.,
Now York. Price, $U,0.
Another novel from tho samo publishing
house Is "A Woman of Yesterday," by
Cnrolluo A. Mason. It is a study of tho
development of n young girl, born in tho
middle of the century nnd growing up to
womanhood In tho strictest orthodoxy of
that time, who undergoes tho transition in
religious Ufa nnd thought which tho last
llfty years has brought. Tho intensity of
conviction and tho unreserved solf-dovo-tlou
engendered by tho old conceptions is
put in strong contrast with their rigorous
harduess. The types of character thus
produced nro familiar nnd lino with all
tho defects of their qualities. Doubleday,
l'ngo & Co., New York. Price, $1.50.
Southern Eu'ropo lias an almost irro
Istablo charm for Hrnry II. Fuller and It Is
tho scene, of his new romance, "Tho Last
llofugo, a Sicilian Romance." Tho story
differs from Mr. Fuller's previous talco and
Introduces motives not common In modem
Action. Tho hero of tho romanco discovers
that ho Is losing his youth and thnt his zest
in llfu Is diminishing. Ho visits Home and
finds that the splendors which once stirred
his enthusiasm now move him but little.
Ho attaches himself to n young man who Is
full of tho unspent Joy of llfo. Theso do
not satisfy, but thero Is yet another city
in which thero Is a great need, an oppor
tunity for service. This represents Duty,
and her the hero finds a refuge. Tho story
1 told with a charm of Blylo characteristic
of Mr. Fuller. Houghton, Mimin & Co.,

"Rafualnnd, tho Strango Story of John
Heath Howard," Is ono of thoso lmposslblo
stories, happening In an Impossible land,
under lmposslblo conditions, which havo
been more or less popular during tho last
few yenrs. Tho author, William Huntlug
ton wiieon, has, to say tho least, woven a

While the task of questioning Jurors waa
going on the attorney general was treated
with a doso of his own medicine, nnd hb
the procedent of disregarding legal eti

tho prosecution wished to c.xcuso him on

Tho United States district attorney has
Instituted a suit In thn district court of
the United States ugalnst John and Adam
Forrester of Niobrara for tho purpose of
conllscatlng tho brewery and beer owned
by them In tho city whero they reside.
Tho uctlou Is nn unusual ono In federal
procedure and In only taken in extreme
casos. According to tho allegations of the
government attorney, the two ForresterB
havo for years delled tho law of tho United
States In many ways and havo up to the
present escaped punishment. It Is alleged
by tho attorneys that they havo on several
occasions manufactured beer without tak
ing out a government license, have sold
beer without attaching revenuo stamps to
tho packages containing it nnd have, on
numerous occasions, sold liquor to In
dlans. The nion havo been Indicted from
tlino to time, but havo avoided punishment
through technlcalltlcH of tho law and are
now undci tndUtmont for selling liquor to
Indians. Tho law provides that In these
cases, whero the manufacturers refusu to
compromise with tho collector of Internal
revenue tho manufactory cnu bo confiscated
together with any liquor In tho establish
ment.
Suit has also been Instituted In tho fed
oral court by the United States against
George H. Jcwott, Adolph G. Ludwlg nnd
Lewis C. Weber for tho sum of $1,592.90.
due upon bond. In 1S90 Jowctt was awarded
a contract for supplying tho government at
Fort Niobrara with pine timber. He fur
nished a small amount and then abandoned
his contract. The government purchased
the supplies In open markot and now brings
suit against Jewett and his bondsmen for
tho dlffereuco betweon tho amount of his

A rare example of human gratitude has
Just been disclosed here. A veteran of tho

hla benefactors, who nro promlnout In
Grnud Army circles. Major Roberts To
wards tho kindness of .two old comrades
who befriended him In tlio days of his ad
versity, paying each $5,000 lu cash. Ono of
tho recipients was Major T. S. Clarkson,
former postmaster. Ho camo on from Buf
falo to get It.
Major Roberts, at tho beginning of tho
civil war enlisted from a northern stato,
lie was with Sherman on the march to tho
sea. Duty mndo it necessary fur him to
go to lluutsvllle, Ala., whero he remained
long enough to form somo idea of tho com
mercial Importuuco of thu place. After
Appomattox ha conceived the notion of re
turning to Iluntsvillo to engage In tho mer
cantile business. Calling two brothers to
his aid, they Jointly embarked In nu en
terprise which in n fow years proved suc
cessful, railing In health, the major was
compelled to go to tho mountains. Selling
out his Interest In the business to his
brothers, ho camo west. Ho fell in with
tho gold seekers in 1S76 and migrated to
the Illack Hills, whore he Invested his
fortune nnd lost. After years of unsuc
cessful efforts to recoup, ho drifted to
Omaha and Jollied a local Grand Army post.
The major nppealed to them for assistance
and it was through tholr Influence that he
was Installed lu u position In the govern
ment service at moderate pay.
At last n hhadow eaino over his life. Ho
was accused of stealing money from thu
government. "No ono else could havo douo
it," said the postal Inspector. Major Rob
erts was convicted by the graud Jury of
stealing a small amount of money. Ills old
comrades mado restitution nud through
their intluence ho was saved the ignominy
of n felott'B cell, but, of course, lost hlu
position. Tho officer who employed him
was always his friend, for he believed the
old major to be Innocent, yet his efforts
to vindicate the accused In the eyes of the
I'ostoHlco department at Washington
failed. A former official, under whose
roglino Major Roberts waB first appointed,
also did everything In Ills power to free
the accused from tho disgraco hanging
over him. Hut It was all to no avail.
