Who Is Sidney Mccall?

Although the publishers state thnt the
author of "Tr1rth Dexter" is Sidney Nc
Call, a number of literary editors have en-
gagged in n guessing contest rs TO the real
author The Boston Evening Transcript Of
September contained the following;
For some months past It has been an open
secret That the nom de plume OF Sidney Nc
Call on the title page Of that increasingly
popular novel, Truth Dexter conceals
the identity Of somebody high In the coun-
ellis of State ait Washington. Various at
tempts have been made to solve the mys-
terry. but the publishers of Truth DeN-
ter" Messrs Little. Brown & Co., have
enshrouded their author with conspicuous
and discreet silence The secret bids fair
however, to break forth in answer to the
camorous demands Of the many whose
knowledge OF the novel makes a knowledge
Of it's authors identity almost necessity

that their curiosity may be satisfied. From

Me1v Book for Children.

Boylon and Ike Morgan, from tue press OF
Jameson, Higgins Co. Chicago, is one OF
the best chIldrens books ever published
1t Is almost as good as Father Goose A"
L. Frank Baum's book, winch has attained
to being the standard of comparison for

commonly good and bright.

PLAYING COLE.
"A young Highland laddle
Went down by the dune;
Behind walked his caddie
And loud sang tune:
"a plaid We may wear
A Tam ye may doff
Yen nae be Scotchman
Unless We play go1."
Here is another, the beginning Of the tale
OF the "Boute of the Kites"
"A small Japman. called hank san,
Once owned demon kite;
A naughty thing with heak and wing
That only lived to fight"
Here is verse about six little boys of
Bombay
"Six little boys Of Bombay,
In white linen TUNES and CAPS.
Are waiting in silent dismny
The signalling drums rat.a.taps"
The unfortunate one is the baby Of Guam,
the little brown baby Of Gaum, whose I'M
fortunate experience is thus chronlcled:
"A little brown baby Of Guam,
Was swung on the bongh Of a palm;
But the wind rocked him high
And he managed to cry;
stop, stop! For this gives me a qnalm.
The yarn of the comlcal cocoanut is as
funny as can he:
"a comical cocoanut grew on tree,
Down South In n lonesome nook
Il feel so funny inside said he,
That funny | ought to look.
And then for joke he tumbled down
And cracked a traveller on the crown"
This is quite ldyllic:
