The Funniest Valentines by the fun.
nlest People.
There was a young fellew named
Allen Tyne
Who proposed to the lovely Miss
Ballantyne;
When the lady said "Yes,"
He said "Well I guess!
Miss Ballantyne's Allen Tyne's
Valentine!"
Carolyn Wells.
"I'll send her a present," said he,
"On the 14th of Februaree!"
And but, no; it is best
To leave out the rest,
For that valentine came C. O. D.!
Walter Pulitzer.
A Scotchman whose name was Isbister
Had a maiden giraffe he called "Sister";
When she said "Oh, be mine,
Be my sweet Valentine!"
He just shinned up her long neck and kissed
her.
Ellis Parker Butler.
"Dear Lady, I cannot," he said,
"Make valentines out of my head, 1
So I've licked and stamped good
On my rival, who could;
He's mail, and I send him, though dead!"
Jiurges Johnson.
Oh, you would I fondly purloin,
That our hands and our hearts we might join;
Oh, maiden of grace,
Whose most beautiful face
Smiles so tender and sweet on the coin.

There once was a lovable Saint,
Who answered each amorous plaint;
And I thought, till today,
When your smile came my way,
The old fellow was dead but he ain't!

THE WORLD OF BOOKS
a IN
m 8
yMONG the elaborate of
MtlfaWJy tne mw DOoks is "Fa"
ihous Actor Families of
America1' (T. Y. Crowell
Co.) Mr. Montrose J.
Moses has traced the
family trees of the Booths, the Jeffersous,
the Sotherns, the Boucicaults, the Ilack
etts, the Drews and the Barrymores, the
Wallucks, the Davenports, the Hollands,
and the Powers, and in so doing he has
given us what is almost a biographical
dictionary of the stage in the nineteenth
century. It is a icurious fact that actors
like to marry in their own calling, and
that their children like to "carry on the
business at the old stand,'' a fact which
has no parallel in biographical history of
any other art. Is it because histrionic
talent is more likely to be directly trans
mitted from sire to son than pictorial or
poetic talent? Is it because acting seems
to be easier than the other arts, although it
is at least as difficult? Is it because the
stage door stands invitingly open to those
whose parents are in the habit of passing
through it?
In dealing with the Booths as a family
Mr. Moses had been anticipated by Mrs.
Clarke in the slight volume she prepared
for Laurence Hutton's "American Actor
Series," as he had been preceded in deal
ing with the Jefiersons by Mr. Winter.
But he has the field to himself when he
sets before us the Sothern family, the
Boucicaults, and the Wallacks. The elder
Sothern put forth "Birds of a Feather,'
and his life has been outlined by a British
biographer. Lester VVallack talked his
"Memories" to Laurence Hutton, who
put them into printable form, but no one
before Mr. Moses had undertaken to deal
with the two histrionic families as they
deserved. The material is abundant, and
for the most part it has here been judi
ciously used. The perspective of praise
is not always preserved, and the reader
might' infer that the living had often
proved themselves equal to the dead ; but
the book is welcome, and it will be useful.
In addition to the genealogical tables it
contains a variety of portraits. And there
s also a valuable bibliography, likely to
be of service to every student of the
American stage. The list of Dion Bouci-
cault's magazine articles suggests that it
would be worth while to collect these
into a little book by themselves, filling
out the autobiographic sketch. The list
of Boucicault's plays is incomplete and
confused, and in the account of his career
there is no proper distinction between his
numberless adaptations from the French,
mere pot-boilers, most of them, and the
more or less original plays in which he
was himself and not the ghost of some
foreigner. These moie or less original
plays fall into two groups, each of which
would reward investigation. The first
contains "London Assurance," "Old
Heads and Young Hearts," and his other
attempts to keep alive the methods of old
comedy. The second consists of his Irish
plays, of which "Arrah-na-Pogue" is per
haps the best, and into which he put the
best of himself.
A. llachelor's Cupboard.
"A Bachelor's Cupboard," containing
"crumbs culled from the cupboards from
the great unwedded," by A. Lyman Phil
lips, (John V. Luce & Co.), will be a
welcome visitor in the homes of those un
fortunates who are suffering the pangs of
single blessedness. The author at the
outset paints a picture of the life of the
bachelor, which is most beautiful in its
coloring and faultless in its drawing, but
it is to be feared that it is only an at
tempt to cover up the death's head under
neath. But for those who willingly or
unwillingly are condemned to such a
life, the little book offers suggestions for
making their lot tolerable, which are not
to be despised.
The volume appeals to no one class of
bachelors, for the dishes he is taught to
concoct are of all kinds and suited to all
depths of purse. The fifteen dollar a
week bachelor is told how to make a
really attractive cupboard from a tall
shoebox and to furnish it with the neces
sities suited for his position in life, while
for the wealthy bachelor whose home is
not a hall bedroom but a studio, the other
necessities and luxuries are fully cata
logued. When it comes to recipes, we go from
Boston baked beans to deviled duck, and
from the plain Swiss cheese sandwich to
fromage a la florian Robert. Evidently
the bachelor is not eligible for the white
ribbon, for three chapters are devoted to
a dissertation on drinks ; what to pay for
wines and how to choose them, and cor
rect wines for all occasions, from the
christening up to the wedding, and back
again to the wake.
Wbite Fang-.
No one can read Jack London's stories
of the Wild without feeling intense in
terest in his animal heroes, and White
Fang (The Macmillan Company), with
illustrations by Charles Livingstone Bull,
is no exception. While those who have
read "The Call of The Wild" may feel
that they have faced about and are fol
lowing the dog hero of that weird tale
back to civilization, there can be no doubt
of the pleasure with which that path is
followed.
The wild wolf nature of White Fang,
in whom the strain of the domesticated
dog seems almost lost, is first cowed by
the severest treatment, by which he
learns submission to the Gods above him,
in which character he views man. The
story of how he is driven by brutality to
develop the wildest traits of his wolf na
ture and finally becomes the worshipful
slave of a love master, is told as only
London can tell it.
The illustrator has caught the true
spirit of the story, and his pictures bring
us into closest sympathy with the grim
reality of life in the frozen north.
