IngersoII on California.

In a recent magazine article. Mr.. Ern-
est Ingersoll, the noted writer. says;
The climate of Southern California IN
winter closely resembles that of Egypt.
The equabili.y is constant, and the dry
ness is proverbial. The only complaint
made is that it is too nearly perfect.
Residents bred in the eastern states con
fess now and then that a rousing storm
would give them a grateful sensation,
but this meets with no favor from the
man who has just fled from superfluity
of wetness and chilling gales. To him
perpetual summer seems perpetual par
adise, and to the invalid, dreading the
advance of disease, the still and arid at
mosphere is as the breath of life The
most comfortable way to reach the Paci-
fic coast is via Santa Fee Route. Weekly
excursions in Pullman tourists sleepers
at low rates. Apply of G. 7. Nicholson,
G. P. & T. A., Topeka, or Fred Gardner,

Life of General Sherman.

No literary announcement of the year
is of greater interest to the general public
than that of comprehensive Life of
General Sherman, which is about to be
published and sold through agents by the
noted house of Hubbard Brothers, of
Philadelphia. Admirable biographies of
Grant and Sheridan, complete to the time
of their death, are already familiar to the
public. but life of the third great COM
mander, 10 finish the series, has been
lacking The various biographies of
Sherman hitherto published have Deces.
sarily been incomplete; and even hi own
memoirs, written in 1915, said almost
nothing of his intensely interesting early
life. and not a word, of course, of the
more than twenty years of social activity
and fraternity with old comrades since
the war.
The work which is now to be issued
will splendidly supply the widely fel,
demand for history of the great strategic
commander. 1t is being written by
Willis Fletcher johnson, whose ability
as historian is familiar to the reading
public of America through his former
unusually popular works, which have
had millions of readers and the sales OF
their vast editions enriched an army OF
book agents; he is aided by Maj. Gen. O.
o. Howard, a man of fine literary attain
ments, who knew Sherman better than
any other of his comrades now living,
and ranked next but one to him in the
army. That this history of Sherman,
the last of the great Generals, will sur
pass all Others in popularity is not to be
doubted 1t will doubtless be the best
life of the great cheiftain published, and
We predict for it wonderful popularity.
