A NEW novel from the press Of Lee
a & Shepard is "Blind Leaders of the
Blind" The readers cannot help
finding peasurable diversion in this
book. 1t is a direct, straightfor-
wani story of today, and the hero Is a
man from whose eyes the light has gone
out. The story Is of particular interest

cu;ustanccs contingent. James II. Ccckc,
the author, is himself blind but his career
has been as romantic as the hero of his
romance. Deprived of vision, he. by tIc
sense oftouch and sound accomplished what

the position because of his ability
and thorough knowledge of the posi-
ton.
AS deputy United States marshal
he has thoroughly won the respect
of the department at Washing
ton: he has introduced reform in the
methods of the Office that have been
adopted over the country. AS a Re
publican Mr.. Walter has never way
cred in his loyalty, and in the late
contest proved his sagacity by being
a Mckinley man from the start Mr.
Walter will be endorsed by the PEG,
pie in every county in his judicial dis
trict, and if the voice of the people
has any influence he will have the
place he asks for. Endorsed by the
bar. endorsed by the people. endors
ed by the department which he has
served; endorsed by the friends OF
Major Mckinley is enough.
