TRAVEL AND DESCRIPTION ROADS OF ADVENTURE. By Ralph D. Paine. Illustrated. Houghton Mifflin Company, Boston. $5.

Accustomed as Mr. Paine is to writing newspaper "stories," his biography reads like a novel. But his instinct for fact keeps him from fictionizing even his greatest adventure-the presentation of a jeweled sword from an American admirer to General Gomez during the Cuban insurrection. The book will appeal to readers who like lively, conversational accounts of stirring adventures. THROUGH SPAIN AND PORTUGAL. By Ernest Peixotto. Charles Scribner's Sons, New

TRAMPING WITH A POET IN THE ROCKIES. By Stephen Graham. D. Appleton & Co., New York. $2.

Stephen Graham is much better in describing himself and his reactions to other people than he is in describing another person and that person's reactions to life. "Tramping with a Poet in the Rockies" falls down, not so much for what is or isn't in it, but because of the way in which the material is handled. Mr. Graham apparently wrote in a deuce of a hurry; he did not stop to smooth out his style, but rushed the matter on to a daily newspaper in the form of let

ters. The result is a book which, although it moves along in chronological order, does not hang together, is often imperfectly conceived and executed, and is frequently dull and inconsequential. This is regrettable, because it would be rather difficult to imagine a more admirable companion for a tramping trip through the Rockies to Canada than Vachel Lindsay. The affair should have culminated in an extraordinarily fascinating study of personality set against primitive life. But the Lindsay of Mr. Graham's book does not stand out, and this, it must be suspected, is the fault of the writer and not the companion.

It would be too much to say that the volume is entirely devoid of interest, for nothing in which Lindsay figures could be quite that. There are moments in the long trip that rise to a certain height of interest. Some of the anecdotes are amusing and some of the remarks of Lindsay, faithfully set down, suggest the flavor of that poet's work. But, after all, one can but wistfully surmise what would have been the result if Vachel Lindsay had written this book himself. At least we would have known Stephen Graham better.

effective. Then dentists everywhere began to urge their use.

A new-type tooth paste was created, based on modern research. The name is Pepsodent. Those two great film combatants were embodied in it. Now it has come into worldwide use, largely by dental advice.

Fights acids, too

Dental research found two other things essential. And they were both embodied in this new day dentifrice.

Pepsodent multiplies the alkalinity of the saliva. That is there to neutralize mouth acids, the cause of tooth decay.

It multiplies the starch digestant in the saliva. That is there to digest starch deposits on teeth which may otherwise ferment and form acids.

Thus Pepsodent, with every use, gives to Nature's tooth-protecting agents manifold effect. And these results are bringing to millions a new dental era.

AN ASSOCIATE'S

REMINISCENCES OF

LYMAN ABBOTT

N incident which illustrates both Dr. Abbott's sympathy as a man and his alertness as an editor takes us back to the time when Dr. Abbott first became Editor-in-Chief of The Outlook, then the "Christian Union." It was the day of small things for editors. No palatial buildings, no sanctums with oil paintings and Oriental rugs. The publishing offices of the "Christian Union" were then at 27 Park Place, under the management of J. B. Ford & Co. The paper was put in type on the top floor of the building in a roomy loft. This composing-room was partitioned off at one end as a storeroom. There was plenty of space in it, and a desk was placed by a window and Dr. Abbott was installed here in this sanctum sanc torum. I was then working in the composing-room as a two-thirder, and to my boyish vision Dr. Abbott was an extremely interesting figure. He was a spare, wiry man, wearing a black beard, and full of nervous energy. One afternoon a queer-looking mendicant, of the kind that pesters you with pencils and other things you do not want to buy, found his way up the four pairs of stairs (this was before the day of elevators) to the composing-room. He circulated around among the compositors, making his appeal in a queer, broken voice, for he seemed to have a cleft palate in addition to his other disabilities. He got small pickings from the printers, for those were the days of '761876-and times were hard. The compositors indeed, when they were "braced" for a dime on the street, were wont to retort, "Say, cully, I'm workin' this side of the street myself." The foreman, a stern. hard man, a veteran of the then recent Civil War, happened to be out at the moment, and the cripple opened the door into the sanctum and found Dr. Abbott there. I listened attentively, expecting the man to get as short shrift from the busy editor as he would have had from the hard-fisted foreman. Instead of this, he apparently had a pleasant reception, for I heard the queer voice going along at intervals for over half an hour. The man then came out smiling and apparently happy, and made his painful way down the long stairs. Later in the afternoon I got 'take" of copy from Dr. Abbott, which was the first sheet of a splendid editorial on Christian cheerfulness and resignation under the most grievous troubles. Dr. Abbott had listened attentively to the man's story, had found that he was in a way a hero who was supporting himself and an invalid sister in the only way that was open to him, had discerned the man's real sincerity and worth in a way that we printers could not fathom, and had got a grand lesson from the man's life to be published in the columns of the paper, for the edification and encouragement of a host of readers. I said that I had taken from the hook a "take" of Dr. Abbott's manuscript. This was long before the days of type

So,

writers, and everything was written out in longhand. Now, Dr. Abbott's handwriting somehow looked like copperplate, but read-like Horace Greeley. It was a peculiar, fine hand, but to most of the printers was indecipherable. early caught on to the peculiarities of this handwriting, and the other composi tors, men much older than myself, got in the way of coming around to my frame and asking me to decipher words that stumped them. A man would say, "Moore, what are these words?" I might say, after glancing at the manuscript, "Why, that is 'the doctrine of Puritanism."" The man would look relieved, and say, "Well, I was going to set it up 'the decline of Presbyterianism.'" not many years later, when there was need in the office of a proof-reader who could decipher Dr. Abbott's handwriting and that of the other editors, Mr. Lawson Valentine, the then publisher-a man of genius also, though of a different kind from that of Dr. Abbott-and the Editor-in-Chief picked me out as a likely candidate for the job. In installing me in my new position, Dr. Abbott gave me a little dissertation as to his ideas about my new work. "I don't care so much," he said, "for absolute typographical correctness. You will get most of those mistakes. But I do care," he said, "for absolute clearness of expression in our paper. So, when you come across any sentence in my writing or in that of any of the other editors or contributors which you do not understand, or which seems grammatically incorrect, please put a query against it. For everything that goes into this paper should be expressed with absolute clearness and smoothness, so that there may be no misunderstanding of it." Later, when I came to write myself for the paper, I found this interview an inspiration.

Bearing it in mind, I faithfully put in the queries wherever there was need for them. The result was that Dr. Abbott, whenever he came into the composing. room with a distinguished visitor, to show him the plant, usually stopped at my den and said to his guest, "Mr. So-and-So, if you ever read our paper, and find that it runs along pretty smoothly and clearly, you may thank our proof-readers, for they catch a lot of mistakes that we editors make." This was perhaps over-generous in its acknowledgment of favors done, but it was characteristic of Dr. Abbott in his attitude toward his subordinates to be overgenerous. In this respect, and in every respect, he was a perfect gentleman of the old school.

Whenever I think of Dr. Abbott, my chief during these many long years, I associate him with three men, also products of the religious life of AmericaRalph Waldo Emerson, the seer; Richard S. Storrs, a typical example of a scholarly, dignified minister; Henry Ward Beecher, the fervent pulpit orator. Dr. Abbott shared in the great qualities of these men, but in some respects he was a man of broader views, of wider vision, of sounder judgment, than any of the men I have named.
