Professor ot European Euro-pean Hlfitory In tho University of Ncbiask'a. mid Ilclonc Ureter Fillip. . M. Published by llaiiior Sc. Ilrulliotf, New York. This" Is the second volume In a scries which may bo called "Th Original Sources Series." The llrst volume was ' Parallel Source Problems In Mediaeval History," which embodied a new point of view in the teaching of history. Tills volume was so well done that It was promptly adopted In university work. Instructors In-structors who have been made acquainted with ihc plan of Professor Fling's book, have all expressed a desire of seeing It used In Ihcir classes. There are four divisions In Ibis book: First. "The Oath of the Tennis Court. June -0, 17S0;" second. sec-ond. "The Royal Session of June '--l, 1780; third. "The Insurrection of October Octo-ber 5 and C. IT.X'J," and fourth. "The Flight of the King, Juno 0, 171)1." The author explains that the evolution of history teaching from the stage characterized char-acterized by the memorizing of a text to that distinguished by a critical study of evidence forms one of the most interesting inter-esting chapters of the pedagogic history of the past twenty-five years. The distinctive dis-tinctive steps In evolution show its Inevitable Inevi-table tendency, and the very Important results and benellls derived from a more critical method of presenting history. Important benellts arc set forth. First, the pupil Is taught that knowledge grows and certainly is attained through question ques-tion and answer, and that the questlnlng must go on until no more questions can be asked or answered; second, the application appli-cation of this theory develops sclentlllc skepticism and plays havoc with credulity; credu-lity; the pupil demands proofs and begins to understand what the word means; third, he learns how difficult It Is to arrive ar-rive at certainty, and he becomes conscious con-scious and cautions In bin own affirmations; affirma-tions; fourth, a high standard Is set in the organization of knowledge and In the careful formulation of It. that the statement state-ment may correspond to the evidence; fifth, finally, the practical training in historical his-torical proof supplies Hie pupil with the means of distinguishing between good and bad. scientific and popular secondary works. One who has had a good, stiff course In hlstorclcal proof "will have no great difficulty In evaluating correctly the life of Napoleon by Watson and the same life written by Fournler. ' There can be no question that the setting set-ting forth of the original sources of history his-tory Is the superior method of procedure, the only satisfactory method: and every student of history, every searcher after real knowledge must welcome gladly these rare books presenting facts as proved by the original records. These works are gaining popularity, and they will certainly gain more and more of It, for they richly deserve that gain. HBRRICK IN LIGHT VEIN. His Grem Adrenture. By Robert Horrid;. Author of "Together." "The Common Lot." aud Other Stories Willi Frontlnplcce In Colors. The Mncmlllan Company. I'ublUhcrs, N'ew Totk. This novel Is In quite a new vein for Robert Ilerrtck. Heretofore he has adhered ad-hered closely to the study of women as the principal theme of his novels This story takes a young 'man who was inclined in-clined to write plays and who had got down to his last quarter, and makes him the center of important and stirring events. Passing along the street iu New York, this hero. Edgar Bralnard. comes to a crowd where a man Is either In a fit or has boon, bludgeoned. He gets to the man, stirs up his consciousness and Is recognized as one who can be trusted. Me has given to him by the stricken man messages of trust, and power of attorney to enrrv him throucrli. Thereimmi be goes to San Francisco, secures almost as a burglar and looter, most valuable pa-pors. pa-pors. securities, and bundles of bonds. Mow to yet away was the question. Here he Is favored by accident and stopping stop-ping off In New Mexico, he gets a glimpse of a girl who Is afterwards to bo so much to him. After dangers in Mexico and narrow escapes from recognition recog-nition and arrest, he sails from Vora Cruz, and gets to France, where he has another narrow escape. He gets Into communication with his benefactor's bankers In Berlin and gets a big sum of money for his securities and retains the bonds. Mo recognizes all the time that this Is a trust and anxiously searches for the heir of the dead man. Tho fantastic Idea of establishing a Peaple's theater and giving the people something that Is nol wanted or earned, and thai they do not care for. sweeps away an Immense amount of money, but in the upturn of events 11 puts him In communication with the girl who Is the heir long sought, and that brings him free from the pursuit of a vindictive woman who has hated him from the tlrnc that he appeared In San Francisco, and was about to impoverish him with a fraudulent lawsuit. The events work out well, and there are some strong "and vital characters In the romance. ro-mance. But it is bv no means up to the TIcrrick standard, and his admirers will fail to find in It the deep qualities that have heretofore so much distinguished his writings WORTH WHILE TrAVEL LETTERS.

The author proceeds to solve this problem; and the narrative moves forward with a rush: Incident crowds on incident, for the author keeps up always to the readr-r'K expectation of bis great skill as a brilliant teller of stories. Few writers know how to write constantly the sort of absorbing romance that the readers desire. McCutcheon Is ono of those rare authors, and the satisfaction of reading his stories Is complete. THE BRILLIANT DAT. Siulre PIUii: a Novel. Py Holinan Pay. Author of "King Sprue-," "The IUraroddcr." and Other Novels. With FrontNplece. Harper ft Brothers, riibllnltciF, Nflr; York. llolman Day has made himself the literary lit-erary and the characteristic, lively expo-hent expo-hent of the. Maine folk. His "Down-East" stories are full of character and entertaining enter-taining types, whose actions are original, and as unexpected as their speech. In tho story Hie humor of the situations Is spontaneous, and there Is plenty of It. Other writers have drawn with accuracy the clmracterlatlcs of Maine people, but Mr. Day Is u writer who has appropriates to his own field the philosophic and comic sides of their character. There is considerable con-siderable of the "show business" Jn this story, and It Is as funny as It can be. There Is an account of a show run by "HIme." which was evidently a sheer Imposture. Im-posture. In this show was an ' 'infant anaconda" and once in a while a man would get boisterous about the swindle: Minim would ask him, "What is the matter with youH" The complainer would say, "Why, ho ain't longer'n your finger," and Hiram would respond. "Me ain't big enough, that's It: well, go right back in and wait until he grows; thcro won't be any extra charge." And the episode epi-sode ends In a shout from the crowd. There Is an entanglement In tho affairs of the Judge as county treasurer, and he Is helped out by a sharp attorney, and on talking the matter over the old man spoke about the right path, ills attorney answered him: "There are people who talk of the right path as though It wore like this village road branching from tho four corners here" that all you need to do Is to look at the guldeboard and go on." But, as a matter of fact, the way of life Is no sucli plain proposition as that; there are ups and downs in It. and as the lawyer law-yer explained to the old man, a man in difficulties may be put to It to understand precisely what Is right for him to do. Every chapter is Introduced by a bit of poetry quoted from various original sources, as for Instance: Old Zlbo Haines walked out one day, And a barbed wire fence It stopped his wiy. Never ellmbed over, never crawled throurjh, Out he- bit that v.Irc right plumb in two. tJallads of "auraptlon." No more lively and entertaining writer do we have in the literary field today than this Same Holman Day, who writes of Maine folk and writes of them as neighbors neigh-bors whom he thoroughly sympathizes with and comprehends. VAUGHAN HESTER'S LAST WORK. Tlio Hand, of tho Mighty nnd Other Stories. Dy Vaughan Kcatcr. Author of "Tho Prodigal JudGO." "Tbc Junt and the. Unjust." and "The Fortunes of the Landrays." With Portrait, and a Sketch of tho Author by Paul Kcatcr. Tho Bobbs-Mcrrllt Company. Publishers, Indianapolis. Indian-apolis. Mr. Kester's ability as a story writer was fully vindicated, as all know, in his great story. "The Prodigal Judge," and afterwards In the other stories named. The series of stories from htm In this book Is Introduced by a biographical sketch of Vaughan Kester by his brother, Paul Kester. The afflictions endured by Vaughan Kester and the operations performed per-formed upon lilm, kept him an invalid for a great while, and he died on the fourth of July, 1911. much lamented and mourned. He had a bright future before him, If only his health could have been maintained. The stories In this book number thirteen, thir-teen, the leading one, "The Hand of the Mighty," giving title to the volume. The other stories arc. "The Bad Man of Las Vegas." "Mollie Darling," "The Blood of Ills Ancestors," "When We Have Waited." Wait-ed." "The Deserter." "What Rearton Saw." "How Mr. Ruthburn Was Brought In," "Miss Caxtou's Father, I'he Half-Breed, Half-Breed, " "Willie." "Mr Feony's Social Experiment," and "All That a Man Hath." No one knew better how to tell a story than Vaughan TCestor did In Ills life time; he was a natural story-teller, and this book vindicates his fame as a short-story writer, his fame as a writer of the novel being firmly fixed before. "The Hand of the Mighty" Is a story In which a man who was supposed to be a no-account lawyer outwitted the great financier, and protected his friends and neighbors from spoliation, making them rich while they supposed themselves poor. The other stories are all skillfully wriLlen, aud the rcador will be richly rewarded In reading them. MEDDLERS AT THEIR WORK. When Tools Tlur.1i In. Tiy William Itlrhard Hereford. Here-ford.
