The Old October Brew

1t has been told in song and story about the Old
October Ale, And rightly too, for every year
at this time the new hops just picked from the
clustering vines impart to our Tadcaster Ales
and Matchless Porter that superb and delicate
flavor that is SO appreciated by connoisseurs.
Some dealers in trying to palm off to a new
arrival an inferior ale may say that it is just as
good as Bowler Brothers Tadcaster Ales but
when he does that turn round and face him, look
him squarely in the eye and tell him he is a u
well, very economical with the truth.
Just as good as our Tadcaster Ale DON'T GO.
There is no other ale just as good. When our
competitors in trying to sell their SO called ales
use our Tadcaster Ales as a standard, it proves
to you at once that our Tadcaster Ales are ALL
RIGHT
All the leading botters of this city use our
Tadcaster Ales and Matchless Porter, and no
other.

posthumous novel, 1.-THE Road to Ridge
by's," with it's charming heroine, has
led the publishers, Messrs. Small, May
| nard & Co., to commission the distin-
| guished Boston artist, Mr.. /. H. Caliga
| to paint portrait of Sibley Ridgeby,
which will be used as a frontispiece in
future editions of the book, and also as
a poster.
The history Of the book thus far goes
to show that, in spite of the enormous
output of fiction and the great amount
of advertising of books, today, 1t Is
still possible for a good book to force
itself into popular success. This book
was published so late in the summer
that the publishers, after Issuing the
book, deferred all advertising until au-
tumn. The reviews, however, were al
most without exception favorable, and
those who read the book were i'm
pressed with 1t; and, when the publish
ers began to advertise the book, this
autumn, it had already pushed itself
into its fourth thousand. 1t now bids
fair to become one of the successes
of the year. and prove again the fact
that the readers of fiction respond to
simple, honest tale of homely American
life.
Peter Newell has achieved a success
remarkable even for so excellent an IL
illustrator in his first pictures, which
are to appear in color. They consist
of Is illustrations for John Kendrick

erie" both of which books are to be
published by Messrs. Noyes, Platt &
Co. of Boston. a house closely connect
ed with Small, Maynard & Co., and
with Curtis & Cameron, publishers of
the Copley Prints. Not only are the
pictures irresistibly funny, but the har-
mony of the colors makes them truly
notable as works of art. They will be
printed in exact fac-simile by the use
of eight colors in TYPOGRAPHY. Mr.
Newell has congratulated the publish
ers on the excellence of the produc-
ton.
In Mr.. Munchausen,' Mr.. John Ken
drick Bangs has carried out an idea,
long in his mind, and of which he had
already given a hint in his notable
Household on the Styx, the further
adventures of Baron Munchausen. The
method which he has conceived to OBJ
tain the history which he relates is
amusingly indicated by the title-page
to the volume, which reads:
Mr.. Munchausen: Being a true ac-
count of some of the recent adventures
beyond the Styx of the late hieronymus
Carl Friedrich, sometime Baron Mum
chausen of Bodenwerder, as originally
reported for the Sunday Edition of the
Gehenna Gazette by its special inter-
viewer, the late Mr. Ananias, formerly
of Jerusalem, and now first Transcribed

7N general half of the deaths in the

caused by microscopic organisms.
