YALE ALUMNI WEEKLY CURRENT LITERATURE. A New Yale Book. Mr. Henry B. Wright, ’98, General Secretary of the Yale Y. M. C. A., is publishing from the press of Tuttle, Morehouse & Taylor, a book entitled - “Sundav Evening Talks to Yale Under- graduates.” . The eight addresses which comprise the volume were delivered before the students of Yale University during the past year and are published at the re- quest of many who have heard them when they were delivered and to whom they proved both helpful and stimula- ting. The addresses are as follows: I. “College Men and the Church,” by Rev. Charles E. Jefferson; II. “Ex- periment versus Experience,’ by Prof. Bernadotte Perrin; III. ‘“Salvation— What is it?” by Rev. George B. Cutten; IV. “Forgiveness,” by Rev. Alexander McKenzie; V. “Faith and Works,” by Rev. John Watson; VI. “Foundations,” by Rev. Samuel E. Herrick; VII. ‘Prayer,’ by Prof. George Adam Smith; VIII. “Herod and John the Baptist,’ by Mr. D. L. Moody. The very charm of the Dwight Hall ad- dresses—their informality and personal character—has unfortunately made it impossible to publish several, and it is to be regretted that the book could not be a complete record of the inspiring Christian messages which preachers, teachers and laymen have brought to Yale this year. Jesse Lynch Williams’s Stories. Lovers of short stories are always on the lookout for anything with Jesse Lynch Williams’s name at the bottom. The author of that very clever and creditable series of college sketches, “Princeton Stories,”’ which is now in its seventh edition, has not confined him- self to college life, but has done, as magazine readers know, some very good work in newspaper _ stories. Scribner’s have just publish a collection of this kind, called “The Stolen Story and Other Newspaper Stories.” The book contains one, perhaps the most important, which has not before ap- peared in print. It closes the volume and is called “The Old Reporter.” Like the other newspaper stories, it takes one right into the peculiar life of the newspaper worker, and gives most interesting phases of that life without discriminating against its unfavorable and discouraging features. “The Old Reporter” goes the way of many a worker of his kind—a brilliant begin- ning and a pathetic downhill slide, which dates from the time that a too steady and continued diet of excitement and study of abnormal features of life, and living in an unnatural atmosphere, led to a form of relaxation that is pathetically common in that profession. It wouldn’t be a fair story for a type, 5” TWENTY YEAR COUPON GOLD BONDS OF THE METROPOLITAN LIFE Insurance. Co. are of the denomination of $1,000 each; every Bond carries 40 coupons (each for $25), payable to bearer on January land July1. Bothinterest and principal are payable in Gold Coin of present standard of weight and fineness, at the METROPOLITAN TRUST COMPANY OF NEW YORK. : (Can be registered.) These Gold Bonds, guaranteed by the Metropolitan Life Insurance ite aoe of New York (one of the strongest Financial Institutions in the world, haying over 48 millions assets and over 7 millions surplus), can be acquired by any individual (man or woman) in amounts not less than $5,000 nor more than $100,000 by one single payment or convertible at death, by an annual deposit payable for life, or limited to 10, 15, or 20 annual deposits, or can be acquired convertible at death, or if living at end of 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 385 or 40 years, annual payments limited to period selected, and should death occur after first annual deposit is made, the bonds are immediately issued to your beneficiary or estate (no further payments peered? These bonds pay 5 per cent. interest in gol semi-annually, and at end of 20 years the principal sum is paid in gold. This is an investment unequaled in the financial world.

It is natural enough, however, to make it very real, and it is on the whole well done. The very tender side of it does not quite fit in somehow. One wonders whether Woods, who could do such things as to betray dinner table confidences and resort to the strategy of his last effort, was ever quite worthy of the tender things hinted at. Outing for June. The June Outing comes at least pretty near the claim of the publishers to being the next best thing to an out- ing itself. The articles - include: “Through the ‘Green’ With the Iron Clubs,” by Findlay S. Douglas, ama- term champion of the United States; a sketch called “Where the Ouan- aniche Is Waiting,’ by E. W. Sandys, which takes for its text a few of the lines from Kipling’s epic of sport called “The Feat of the Young Men; “The New Yachts of the Year,” by A. J. Kenealy; “Practical Camping-Out Near Home,” by T. C. Yard, and a very suggestive article called ““A Comparison — and some Suggestions in Lawn Tennis,” by J. Parmly Paret. These, among other attractive articles and sketches and some most winsome illustrations, make one decidedly uneasy in his office or armchair. The “Monthly Review of Sports” gives special attention to base- ball among the Eastern colleges, and contains among other things a very knowing sketch of Yale’s nine. The conclusion of this sketch is: “Taken as a whole, Yale’s team fields fairly, has four or five good batters, is running bases with judgment and dash, but is not particularly strong in its batteries. The team would probably score more runs against a given opponent than either Princeton or Harvard, but at the same time would not be so successful in holding down an opponent’s score. If Yale’s batteries can be brought in- to more effective form her team will be strong. Just at present, with the pitchers not particularly effective and the fielding not of the best, it is much too easy for opponents to run up large scores.” The Atlantic for June has for its fea- ture the first four chapters of a new story by Mary Johnston, called ‘To Have and to Hold.” Current political events receive attention in Arthur May Knapp’s article on the Philippines and Herbert Pelham Williams’ very inform- ing and candid statement of “The Out- look in Cuba.” A short story by Gil- bert Parker called “The Man at the Wheel,” and letters between two poets, the latter being the correspondence be- tween Bayard ‘Taylor and_ Sidney Lanier, are two of the literary features of the number. The special Yale literature of the term includes a new edition of sketches of life at Yale University—“Yale Yarns,” by John Seymour Wood. It is bound in paper. G. P. Putnam’s Sons, New York and London. Price 50 cents. Books received include Cassell & Co.’s National Library editions in paper of “Merchants of Venice,” “Othello,” “Hamlet,” and “Julius Caesar.” RT a Oxford Summer Meeting.
