Theodore J. Grayeon's "The Inevitable Reckon- Ing" comes very near being a great story. It deals with the oldest of ins and Its never-falling retri bution in a masterly way. Edna Ken ton's "A Prophet in Ills Country" Is a fresh natural bit of story-telling, of a quality we do tot meet with ev . ery day. THE JCl6 SMART SET. The quality that marks out the 'Smart Set" as something entirely 'different from the other light fiction magazines, is virility. The reader does not find it table of contents padded with pale, weak attempts at stories; teach separate tale has throb bing human interest, be its subject Bar Harbor or the Klondike. This month's novel. "The Mistress of Hounds," by Jay Hardy, has as Its stage setting a faanionable hunting ' club. Just outside New York. The atory does not drag for a single para graph. Crisply and surely It moves to its highly entertaining finale.. Mrs. "Bill" Ware, 'who occupies thelime- light. Is a hole-souled woman of 30 oddr whose love for the fierce rush of the fox hunt under the open sky is but the reflection of her big frank - heart. .' Cleverly in contrast to her Is .her young. niece Lucy Parmer, whose superficial charm masks an Ineradi cable eelftahnes. which comes peril ously near wrecking her life At the final curtain, the. former s barque Is aafely moored in. the Becure harbor Of a strong man's love, while Lucy's frail skiff sems destined to be tossed by many storms.

The cleverest thing ill file number Is "Three Fool and a Wise One." by Elly Perry Mldgely; although Its phi losophy which makes happiness like Kden, follow deliberate violation of the marriage- conventions, Aot to say laws, is a totally false and Impossible one.

Current Literature la generally ac cepted as one of the very best of our reviews, and the present Issue Is by no means below Its usual standard. It Is a matter o( course that the July reviews this year each and ev ery one of them should contain a sketch of Secretary Taft. The one here presented Is decidedly Interest ing, being compiled from -the articles of such keen observers aa Walter Wllman. Lincoln Stiffens, William Alien White and Artnur urisnane. Other character sketches deal with Eugene Deb. 61r Wilfrid Laurler, and that remarkable German. Prince su Eulenburg. A book talt Is now claiming the wideat attention, not only in journal istic circles, but the country over, Is "The Career of a Journalist" bv Wil liam Salisbury. An excellent review of this appears: rt is wmsperea mat tne work bears the same relation to mod ern American journalism, that Sin clair's "Jangle" bore to the Chicago paokers. Another very Interesting book re view deals with a historical subject, which for nearly 500 years has fasci nated young and old. Anatole France, who stands at the head of living men of letteri in France, has written a moat sympathetic life of Jeanne d'Arc.f In which he depicts her aa saint and martyr. Various have bean the theo ries of historians as to the Maid of Orleans; most believe her to have been subject to hallucinations. But lh arrsat French Academician's touching 'and beautiful portrayal of her appeals as reasonable and con vincing. "THe Honor of the Family" which has been Otis Skinner's vehicle dur ing the past season; Is described at length with copious citations. With out having seen the play, one feels that it must take acting of the first order to carry such a conglomeration of wickedness, selfishness and slush. Among the numerous remaining papers worthy of special .mention, are thoe on "The Open Pulpit in tne Protestant Episcopal Church;" on The Growing oarruiousness or Bernard Shaw," and on" The "Transmission of Life From Qne Planet to Another " v THE BROADWAY MAGAZINE FOR JULY.

Despite the'act That There Ar Open fcatootrBf-- . BY COU F. A. OLDS. Raleigh, July S. Few things are more interesting than a trip by an average Jorth Carolinian to a great city like New TorJC Three or four classes of people go to New York from the South. There are the merchants. who are shown the town. Including of course the "elephant." by the young men w ho . represent the places which command their trade; for" certain young men, up-to-date, and very full of. ginger, are employed quite largely for this purpose, and by their paeans one way is afforded or seeing new York. Next corae people who go there for pleasure, these including bridal couples, and .persons who are fond of the theatre and of the oustie oi a great city. Laaily come those who go from the feouth to seek their fortunes In that maelstrom. wheTe to be sure a reat - nnan v though much more ia made r muT than of failures. In other words In such a world as that one hears a lot more about the man who wins than about him who loses. The litter elmDiy goes to the jerap- heap oftentimes, and that's the eid of him. A Raleigh man who goes to New York for pleasure Is content to stay there for a little time, provided he IS on the go.'-but the aggregate selflsh nss and indifference of one of the most careless communities .on tnis earth soon palls upon him and' he longB for his little city, where people have hearts and where there is some touch with nature. London, vast as it Is, and Paris, too, cater specially to visitors, and Ameri cans alwaya get most dlstnguished consideration, on account of their mo ney, of course, though their vivacity and general push have made them in a broader way cut do small figure. But New York does not seem to ap preciate visitors. The streets are nev er complete. Vaster and vaster are the schemes for Improvement. The streets are badly numbered. It Is difficult to see the names and these are not prop erly shown on the cars. SEES MUCH; KNOWS LITTLE. Thus the casual stranger visiting New York can see a great deal, yet know but little, unless he chooses to ride oh an automobile, one of the "rub ber neck" kind, with the megaphone man telling fake stories about the place. Some of these automobile com panies arrange to have incipient riots. In some at- the foreign quarters oi the city, for the edification of the "Iteubs" who are paying f o the ride. Some of the -greatest stores in New York have no same upon them, and this seems singular to people In this part of the world. There are statues too In some of the purks wblch have no name shown anywhere, and purks are alo nanielt-Hs. In New York you will be though! to be a "Jay" if you ask many questions and the answerer generally gives a ipityng smile. The people there have no regard for a "tenderfoot." The great height of the building Is such that t North Caro linian declares the only really proper way to see them is to lie on the back and look at the top. They call the peoplo who llve'ln these tunnels of streets the "ClifT-Dwellers" and it a good title, mo ignorance oi wie people about their city is certainly re markable and there la not atlthe of the pride in New York which a Frenchman has for hlfjI'arls. For him Paris is the hearC the very es sence, of France, but New York Is not such to the NewYorker. The ignor ance whldh thir people there have aliout their n city Is startling. The Raleigh mam anked an elderly man on Broadway, near Wall .street, near the heartof the banking section, where thefcub-treasury was. The New Yorker i replied that though lie had lived In years he could not direct any one to this building, but It was down the street somewhere. No name was found upon the building. v In Washington there Is much the same thing, for on only one of the government buildings does Its name appear, this being on the postofttce, snd though the govern ment wvns the parks there are no signs to Indicate the name of the par ticular park or grounds. Too often It Is the case that If one Inquires what Hn.lli.iiU ntttn, iif.K an4 Miih 1 jktf he" will be Mien such a look as the ,. ..r.,..i. )"'!.:' " ' .CZ .' tanla gave the Raleigh man who In j mld-orean asked the PUn if here , was any danger of striking a stump, The captain gave him a blasting stance and then asked where in the ,"h r 11" he came from. One can judge of the enormous quantity of vegetables used by New York from the fact that within an hour two ships came Into port, each one having twenty-two thousand bar rels of IrUh potatoes THE EDEN MUSEE. Everybody who goes to New York of course takes in the Eden Musee. which Is to this country whit Madame Tusoaud's Wax works have for much more than a century been to Louden. The latest thing there la of course the Thaw trial, including Harry, Evelyn,- the Judge, - Jurytelc-- Evelyn-- is pictured as a very charming girl and Mrs, Thaw as Just the kind of matron one likes. ; : A Raleigh merchant was met - in New York who is a genius in his way. a II V4 ri C xt hiv sssmqb u erss tvv with him was a rope, with the knots two fi-et apart and hook at one end, This he would fix to the bedstead and coll It In the window, so that In case of fire he could let himself down. He need no longer-take his Toperrfor hotels have adopted .his Idea at last, and have such a- rope, hooked, and coiled at tb window. , The observant man' who went to New York of course saw the play, now all the rage, and so these sis months past, "The Merry Wldw."and going the next day to 'the American Museum of Natural History he saw the original orthe Merry .widow hal, made centuries ago In China. This goes to prove tbe Invariable statement of the Chinese thst In past centuries they have used, tired of snd thrown away all the invention of all . the - other countries. ' ' Ope thing noticeable In New York Is that there. U no spitting on the floor of tn cars. The fine for this Is fjOO. Now av Raleigh man. In ail Ms travel about the city never saw thl ordinance violated. Raleigh, like per-Y haps, other town in North Carolina, has such an ordinance, but It Is vio lated ky not a ffw. and though this Is ftubllcally'. done dally there has never been - an 'arrest for It. This goes to prove that It la pot lack of laws which cause trouble but -lack . of enforce nieirt. Prhapa-the-poltc herathlnk that the public "health authorities are mere "faddists', and that diseases are not thus communicable. ''" j. . . One of the things observed In travel north , is sojmethlng -which -will -be found In the suburbs of AahevlHe; this being the beautifying of -roadsides. Along the rail way It will be seen that the stations are many times more at tractive than they are at most places in the-South. Here and there In this section of the country there are at tractive railway statfoeg, but they are few andv far between. Th Ra1lrti mn went from New York to rtoboken to see a party sail iurV . f- Norway and he etttrtwift one last time, after many years of resi dence This particular man said n had gone into the cheap Jewelry business in this country. had established branches and had accumulated $250,000 and that he had placed thla in gold, all of it being On that steamer, and was taking it and his family to his old home, leaving the United Bute with out a pang, yet here he had made his fortune for when be came to this coun try he was but little above a beggar. Rich as he was. he and his family re turned to Sweden as steerage passen gers, just as they came over here, bay ing only S30 for everything. He ald iiccnmo uwuira " - ... cheaper than anything else. This man was exactly like the Chinese, whose one ambition Is to make enough money to get back to China and there live in idleness. . NO DRUNKEN' FOLKS. The Raleigh man did not see a drunken man In New York or In vashington, plentiful as barrooms' are everywhere In that tart of the world, where prohibition has not aa yet "struck in." He1" was impressed by the fact that the people were in good hu mor everywhere, tnougn so many ui them are "unemployed. He found that the percentage of unemployed is mucn larger than it is in the South and that living at all times, hard for many persons there, has been remarkably so since last November. One of thev re sults of this has been a vast exodus of neonla of all orofesslons from tnis country to their farmer homes In the nirf World, this being greater than ever before and the steamships often not being able to handle the people. He went down to see one steamship depart and found It could not carry half the people who were ready to go uron It and a fresh train load poured In. so that the wharf was literally lammed aa were the adjacent afreets. These people thus returning had every sort of what the darkles down South call "plunder" with them and they wr-ail itiiv to act away. It was atated by people who knew that lot of these people have urtejr money In belts about their bodies, or else sewed TWtheir clothing. The question is whethr-r such people as these are desirable citlsens. The Raielgn man decided that the United States is bet ter off without them.
