John Auburntop, Arson Uriel Han
cocks latest novel, deals with rather
new field in fiction, the development of
the hero in Western college. Fresh
water'' has long been the term applied
by Eastern collegians to our Western
institutions. MIR. Hancock's story is
not written with any controversial pur-
pose, but simply as faithful picture of
life at the University of Nebraska in
the '70's. Its impartial purpose makes
it all the stronger vlndicator of the at
mosphere of fresh water college as
compared with salt. The progress of
the story develops the atmosphere of
the coeducational college, with the
rlvalrleS between its young men
and women students in the de-
batting hall and class room. The most
commendable feature of the book is its
treatment of the character of the hero
Inc, Minerva Jackson, a typical West
ern college girl. The love story is well
told, and if its ending is not romantic it
is doubtless all the truer to nature. To
all who care for "reminiscences of West
ern college life,to all who are interested
in the opening of universities to women,
and to all who enjoy foreeastlng the de-
VelOpmeDt of the American novel,
John AubuIntop, Novelist" will be of
unusual interest.
Church and Creed, by r. Heber New
ton. rector of All Souls, New York, is
collection of three sermons, with notes.
The writings of so famous an eccleSiaSt
could not fail to be interesting. but the
| three sermons recently published are of
especial interest at the present time,
when the subject of creeds and limita-
tons is being SO earnestly discussed,
and when the Rev. Mr.. Newton him
self has been so accused of laXness in
belief and treason to the church. He
| writes learnedly and thOughtfully, and
| the book is one of very deep interest to
all churchmen and to all outside the
church who reason on religious topics.
That Uncomfortable Shoe, by Award
| j. Moore, Is very original and enter
| tanning treatise by a practical shoe
maker on the uses and abuses of feet
and shoes. Having acquired a very
thorough knowledge of his subject, the
author is enabled to suggest to the pub
lie in general what kinds OF shoes to
wear TO insure the greatest ease and
comfort. This book is one which every
person ought to have, and, as the price
is small, it should occupy place in
every household.
The Puritan'S Daughter, by L. {. De
Leon, is a sequel to Creole and Puritan,
the novel which was so we'll received.
1t is a Southern story of a brave man.
Adrien Latour, and girl who is
chaImiHgly original type OF woman
hood. The story contains an incidental
! account of an interstate encampment
and some very prettily written descrip-
tons of Southern scenery. The love
story is Slight but delicate. The hero is
the best friend of the heroine's father.
There is a haif-told, halt-Suggested
story of an early love, the ghost of
which, conjured up by Bella Moore,
serves to keep Adrien Latour and Dalia
Everett apart for a time. The ending
Is happy, but the quiet little story is ex-
quisitely told.
