 "Chimmie Fadden: Hejor Max and Other Stories," by Edward w. Town send. The "Chlmmie Fadden" sketch es have commanded attention ever since the first of them appeared in the New York Sun Collected in book form they have met with wonderful success. Chimmie is a genuine hu- morist; he is original and piquant; moreover he is of a type that has not appeared in fiction, at least as narra- ting his own experiences in his own peculiar "langwuge."
