 Songs of War and Peace" by Sam Walter Foss, author of Back Country Poems" "Whiffs from Wild Meadows" Dreams in Homespun," etc. Cloth gilt top, boxed; Lee & Shepard, Boston, publishers; for sale by Judd. Price $1.25, A reviewer says: There is an inspiration breathing through the lines
 of MT. Foss' verse that appeals to all, and in his latest volume are included
 thoughts, comments and satires on modern topics that are either striking ly humorous or strikingly pathetic either way most impressive, and perme- ated with novelty of idea that often tickles the fancy immeasuraby. MT. | FoSS keeps abreast the times, several of the poems being on war subjects. His verse has always beauty and grace, even when humorously characterized;
 and beneath the humor often touch of
 the keenest human reproach and sad ness. He probes more than ordinary depths and draws up more than most
 people catch even a glimpse of. In
 every outward sense the work will ap- peal to those who love beauty in the clothing of books, for its cover is a specially dainty piece of artistic skill.
 John Jasper's Secret" the sequel to Edwin Brood, which was written by Charles Dickens, the younger, and
 Willxie Collins. has been published in a neat and convenient volume by R. +.
 Fenno & Co.,, of New York. All who are studious of style will agree that in
 this case wonderful success has been achieved. So true is this that no li- brary set of Dickens works can ever be
 deemed complete without John Jas
 per's Secret" as an addendum. Will.ie
 Collins was a novelist with a fertile
 brain for fine shades of plot and the
 etching of character but in no work of
 his own has he shown greater talent
 than in his reproduction of his friend
 variant style even to certain manner
 isms, throughout the web Of John Jas
 per's Secret And If to Charles Dick ems, Jr., be due full half of the credit
 of this unique literary performances. a
 like laudation is deserved by him. Viewed purely on it's merits. John Jas
 per's Secret" is. a remarkable book. It merits a niche in literary annals on that
 account and place in every library
 therefore, for reasons intrinsic as well
 as relative. For sale by Judd Price s1.25.

 ry Russell and his fortunes, resulting in heroic service on the Olympia" has ap- peared since the famous Army and
 Navy series by Oliver Optic Further , more, it is the only popular book ever
