Boys Roob Of Explorations" by
Tudor Jerks; Doubleday, Page & Co,
! New York; $500; for sale by Judd.
I Those are stories Of the heroes OF travel
and discovery, chiefly during our own
| time, in all parts OF Africa, Asia and
! Australia. Mr.. Jerks understands
| thoroughly what interests boys, and he
has made full use of the dramatic and
picturesque possibilities of his subject,
yet not dlverging from the underlying
facts in the case. While the book has a
distinct Informative value, showing
what has been done in the way of open
ing up new lands and giving a boy new
ideas about the geography and natives
of these countries, it's chief claim to at
tention lies in the interest of the stories
and in the picture of the resolute, in
trepid men who risk their lives for sci
ence and civilization. The volume is
copously illustrated, presenting many
striking pictures of scenes Of daring
and perilous adventure, and many
views of now noted spots in the coun-
tries spoken of, together with pictures
Of noted savage chieftains and of the
heroic discoveries.
Lord Jim, a Romance" by Joseph
Conrad; Doubleday, Page & Co, New
York; $15O; for sale at Judd's. Mr..
Conrad has won a place in the. front
rank of writer's whose characters "go
down to the sea in ships" He presents
in mastery style the secret of the seas
fascination and shows equal ability in
depicting the even more mysterious va
riatfons of human nature. Lord Jim
(Which grew in the writing from a
short story to a full-tledged novel;, tells
of a young seaman, one of whose aspi-
ration9 was to confront a great emer-
gency, and his wish is realized. The
crucial moment he dreamed of and de-
sired came, and the result is portrayed
in vivid and absorbingly interesting
manner Mr.. Conrad presents in this
book an intensely interesting human
story, evincing profound physiological
insight, with a tragedy standing out
grlmly against the romance Of the sea |
and the unknown Malayan islands.
1.-THE Stickit Minister'S Wooing," by |
S. r. Crockett; Doubleday g. Mcclure |
Co., New York: $3.50; for sale at Judd's. |
This work by Mr.. Crockett will be con-
sidered by many as even better than his |
"Stickit Minister" with which he cap
tured the public seven years ago.
Since then he has shown his powers in
many different ways, but these short
stories show him at his best. These
tales return to the original field in
which he won so marked a success and
make a book which has an abiding I
hold upon one because of its homely
human reality. Some of these tales
are: The Stickit Minister'S Love Sto-
~; The Stickit Minister Wins Through;
Loves Seat; The Suit of Bottle-Green;
rhe Sucking Parson; Eelan's Victory;
Exodus; The Troubler of Israel; Apoth-
sosis; A Scientific Symposium; The
House on the Muir; Citrate Of Kirk
,hrist; Little Fair Mar; Lass in the
shop. The book makes very enjoyable
'eading.
