LITERA R Y NO TES The complete novfel of the March "New Lippincott" is significantly named "The Shadow of a Man." it is by E. W. Hornung, who has made a new success with each new story. • 'The Shadow of a Man" will doubtless "win him fresh laurels, for it is compact, clear-cut, and thrilling, with a love ro­ mance that runs through it and binds together the threads of romance. The heroine is a daring rider, who discovers an old convict in a maze of the "bush, " and this solves a mystery which clears her lover. Seldom has "Lippincott put forth a story $0 fully realizing its promise of a brief complete novel with living interest in every word. With the March "New Lippincott" begins the long-promised yet timely series of papers by Stephen Crane on ' 'The Great Battles of the World." The first paper is devoted to the "Brief Gam- paign of New Orleans, " which happens to bear with marked significance on the Boer-British war, yet takes its place simply as a keen and engaging study of a world event of the first importance, especially to us Americans. Mr. Crane has rarely used his mother-tongue with greater charm than in this brief paper. THE series of "Mormon Stories" now running in the "Ne\pi L'ppincott" con­ tinues in the March number with "The Grandmother's Story," narrating the pathetic adventures of a Quaker dame who travelled with her family from the East and espoused Mormonism. Not­ withstanding all its consequences to her beloved daughter, she held to the fai|h with devout perseverance. The Con­ gressional investigation lately closed gives keen point to the revelations in the form of fiction of Mrs. J. K. Hudson, of Topeka, Kansas, author of these stories. The moment is ripe for such a paper as "The Canadian Tommy Atkins, " by Percie W. Hart, in the March "New Lippincott." It reveals the inner meth­ ods of the Colonial war machine which Britian is now working to its utmost. The author has had especial privileges for observation, and writes by the book. For brevity and point it would be hard to find a more captivating short rtory^fchan "In Galleria," by Mrs. Jesse Van Zile Belden. It appears in the March "New Lippincott." The poetry of the March "New Lip­ pincott" is strong in two directions,-- war and music. John Ingham contri­ butes a pair of noble sonnets on "Beet­ hoven," and a new Western genius named Herman Scheffaner gives "The Song of the Slaughtered." The author comes from California, whence came Markham. A Fiendish Attack. An attack was lately made on <3L F. Col­ lier, of Cherokee, Ia., that nearly proved fatal. It came through his kidneys. His back got -so lame he could not stoop without great pain, nor sit in a chair except propped by cushions. No rem­ edy helped him until he tried Electric Bitters which effected such a wonderful change that he feels like a new man. This marvelous medicine cures backache and kidney trouble, purifies the blood and builds up your health. Only 50c at Julia A. Story's Drug Store. Lighthouses and Lifeboats of Old. A search of the record of that vener­ able corporation, Trinity house. London, shows that it is just 390 years since the first lighthouse was erected at Lowes­ toft, and this is noted as the first regu­ lar lighthouse on the coasts of Great Britian. The next lighthouse to be erect£ ed was at Winterton, in 1616. Lowes­ toft has had, moreover, the unique dis­ tinction of possessing the first lifeboat. It was in 1809, just 200 years after the first lighthouse was built there, that the first lifeboat was dispatched on her in­ itial errand of mercy from Lowestoft. He Fooled The Surgons.
