The Autobiography
of a Pennsylvania!!
By SAMUEL W. PENNYPACKER
Probably no writer dealing with public affairs and public men,
!nce tho publication of tho famous "Pcpys Diary," hag exercised bo
much freedom and intimate knowledge in commenting upon men and
events. But, while there may be special interest in the blunt refer
ences to nearly every man connected with tho public life of Pennsyl
vania for the 'last fifty years, the value of the book as an important
contribution to the literature of the Stato lies in the fact that Gov
ernor Pcnnypacker was perhaps tho greatest student nnd chief ex
ponent of Pennsylvania histofgL Ho himself says that he was the
first to insistently call atlentito tho importance of our own Stato
in American life. "

J. B. Beresford Has Created a Character Who
Tries to Learn What Is the Matter With
the World A Big Book
"I
All glad that serious books are
Increasing In popularity," Doctor
SIcFabro remarked ns Ills oei rested
on a volumo on my libra' tablo which
boro tho title. "W. K. ford. A JUor
inphy." "I aw a statement tho other,
day that out of tho totnl number ot
books published In tho United States
Hst year tho proportion ot fiction was
considerably smaller than ten jears
ago."
"I was talking with a publisher jp
cently," said I, "who told mo that tho
Action which had appeared In book
form had not been selling very well.
Tho reason, however, was not that tho
public Is not interested In novels, but
that so many of tho novel roadey buy
the tmguzlvcs for tho stories, that
they do not buy tho books. Hut I sup
pose It is a fact that nonflctton Is In
creasing In popularity."
Owen camo in at this point with
Piofcsior Perkins, of tho University.
"Hello!" exclaimed tho profesbor.
"I see jou are reading 'W, 11, Kord,'
too. Oreut book, Isn't It?"
"Tho doctor hnsn't said It yet, but
ho bus been wondering whether tho
l'oid of tho book is a kinsman of tho
Poid of tho lllvver." said I. "Ho thinks
It Is a leal bloRinphy, or n biography
of n leal man."
"Hut ou know I haven't read It,"
thi' ilcrgnian explained, a llttlo defi
antly. "It Is nothing but a novel, doctor,"
said I, with a chuckle,'.
".Iobo It Is all light to camouflaga
books In such n way," ho replied, "but
I don't like false pictenscs."
"Why, doctor, :ou suiprho me."
Pel kins remarked "You know that
thero arc scores of great novels that
masquerade as blogiaphlcs nnd his
toi Ics. from 'Itohlnson Crusoe' down.
Some of them pietcnd to bo autobiog
raphies." Tho clcigman settled glumly back
In his chair and silently puffed his
cigar.
"This bonk about lord, ' Perkins
continued, "Is one of tho most interest
ing books I ever read. Ills theories of
education nnd his experiments with a
Echool in which thoso theories were
applied ought to be read by every
tiacher nnd by every parent. They nro
not wholly new, for Comenlus, ns ho
admits, eliboratcd similar views long
ago "
"Comenlus"" asked Owen. "Who's
ho?'
"He was ono of the gieatcst and
most famous educational reformeis of
the seventeenth century," Perkins ex
plained. "He was boi n In Moravia and
became a preacher for the Moravian
Hrctliren and devoted himself to
preaching and tcnchlng. He attempted
to oiganlye the entire field of human
knowledge to ns to bilng It In outllno
within the grasp of child en."
"I'll hive to look the fellow up In
tho public librat y," said Owen, who
makes It a pi notice to Inform himself
on any subject In which he Hilda he is
Ignorant.
"It will be w oi th while," said Per
kins. "The 300th nnnlvcisary of hjs

Comenlan Society was then organized

"Don't let Perkins mako you think
that this l"ord book Is nothing but an
educitlonal tract," said I.
"Well. It's not much more," the pro
fessor Insisted.
"I suppose you wero so deeply In
terested In the educational discussion
in It that you missed tho rest," said I.
"But, as a matter of fact, It is a stim
ulating nnd suggestlvo study- of tho
whole problem ot human socloty. It
Is one of tho most Important novels
which Ueresford has written. He pre
tends to havo collnboiated with Ken

hinted that there is no such man ns

"Ilumiili!" camo fiom the chair In
tho corner tliimiRh a ha?o uf smoke.
"This honk Is 11 novil," I went on.
"Ileiesfoitl lus chosen the novel form
for the imrpriMi of putting over his
speculations on the philosophy of life
In such .1 vvai that peoplo will lead

Inevitable In nn ordinal y school. He
found tint under tho pie sent niK-mia-tlon
of society the schools set nut to

teach them how to mako money, and
not how to be committed to IiIkIi Ideals,
Ho wanted to train children to love

lief that all things would afterward be
added to the in He ttild them that 'It
la moro blessed to filvo than to re

rather than of u moral principle "
Doctor Mcl'abio emerged from his
envelope of cigar smoke long enough
to exclaim, "Kink nonsense!"
"The rest of his views nre as unusual
ns this," I went on. "Naturally, his
school failed. Tho parents weio not
ready to have their children educated
In such nn unconventional war. Now,
Pet Kins, I tim afraid jou did not dis
cover tint his school was started as a
test of tho readiness of society for
what ho icgatded tho finest things.
When tho schejol failed ho set out to
study society to discover what was tho
matter with It. He did not formulato
his conclusions; nnd, Indeed, ho did not
reach any definite view, Ho was still
feeling after tho truth when he died;
but tho word 'fellowship' seemed to ex
press as well ns any that essential
thing which all civilization lacked. He
hoped to find a vvny by which It could
bo created. That Is, he wanted to Im
plant In tho minds of tho children n
high Ideal, In order tint they should
foim tho civilization of tho future In
nccordanco .with it. Ho believed this
possible, for ho Insisted that It Is not
tho external coneutions wnicn govern
tho develop ot society, hut that men
form their social organizations In nc
coi dance with their beliefs; In short,
that their social Institutions aro
poured red hot Into their thought
molds, their spiritual beliefs nnd dis
beliefs, nnd hardened there. It Is nee.
essary to ch.tngo tho mold heforo the

"It is a great book, nnd ono ot tho

It Is morally certain that tho detective

Louis Joseph Vance, writer of melo
dramatlo novels, understands tho psy

not necessary to particularize among
them, for they are all of such uniform

The Joke of Life
"JJ ou want the answer to the tlddlo
or lire? ery well, then, read James
Ilranch Cabell's now book, "Tho Cream
of tnc Jest " Perhaps even then you
won't get It. but ou may bo as fortu
nnte as tho author's chief character, who
found a fairly good substltuto nnd one
th it thoroughly satisfied him.
Tor that Is what Kellx Kennaston did
And ho was a cosmopolite, novelist,
seeker after beauty, man of tho world
and hunter for sensations Ho unbarred
ono of the strange windows accidentally
left unguarded for tho moment by the
warder of thn earth, took a peep and
beheld another world.
It Is a strango story, n. nnrnhu If inn
like, or mnbe a satlro on thoso persons
who exhibit too great a devotion to false
gods.
Hut It Is tremendously Interesting
And somehow or other Felix Kennaston
tplfies all men. Mr. Cabell's portrayal
of him is marked by the samo Insight
into hunnn naturo that has character
ised thoso other works of his pen that
now occupy a high placo In modern
fiction.

Undaunted Hearts
There's a touch of tho modern In

cannot read her description of Fort

against hostllo Indian tribes without

training camp for tho men who will lead
our soldiers In tho present world war.
Like all good historical novels, tho ac

Iroquois chief, Corn Planter, and adopted
as h). sister She meets with numorous
adventures during tho Revolution, the
Indian wars and the War of 1812. and Is
rescued by John Klnilo, tho founder of
Chicago, whom Ehe subsequently mnrrirs
Tho story Is well told and filled with
thrilling Incidents, but tho horrors of
massacres are left to the reader's
Imagination, which dos not flt'fb the
pleasant impression Based on historical
facts. It Is filled with the mannerisms of
tho period and quaint dialects that havo
