The Ell Paso, Texas correspondent of

that Mrs. Annie White, Of Verde, Ari-
zona is on her way to New York to have
a settlement with General Chaffee when
he arrives from the Philippines.
Mrs. White, the widow of discharged
soldier of the Eighth Infantry, says that
on his death bed her husband exacted a
pledge that she would prefer charges
against General Chaffee for alleged cruel
treatment at Camp Mcdowell, post
near the San Carlos reservation, Arizona.
Mrs. White charges that General Chat
fee, then a major, sent soldiers to their
home, which was just outside the reser-
walton, burned their houses, and drove
off all their cattle.

Review of the Present Seasons Output of Bookstore
Published. More Sold, More Advertised, but No Big
Selling Book of the Season-Books to Make Glad
the Heart Of Childhood,
By HERBERT BREWSTER.
the Heart Of Childhood,

The fall season of the year of our
Lord, 1902, has advanced far enough
now for comparison with the outputs
of former seasons, though the task is
as yet somewhat difficult. Without
doubt, the most conspicuous feature
OF the present years production of
books is the absence of big selling
books. Twelve months ago three or
four historical novels and two volumes
of the "homely" school were selling
beyond 100000 copies each This year
not single book has come anywhere
near that mark The best selling books
of to-day are probably 1.-The Virgin
ians," 1.-THE Two Vanrevels." Captain
Macklin," 1.-THE Fortunes of Oliver
Horn" and 1.-The Letters of a Self
Made Merchant" and not one of these
has reached 100000. The encouraging
element in this lack of big sales is the
fact that more books this year have
reached comfortable sale and. prob
ably, a much larger percentage have
passed the dividing line between COM
mercial success and failure. IT has
been a better season for the authors
and better season for the publishers.
Less effort has been made on the part
of the latter to surpass each other in
the display of advertising space and
yet, on the whole. more advertising
had been done.
In appearance and quality of make
up, printing, binding, and illustration,
the books of the present season are
better than those of last year. A good
ly number have been illustrated by the
best artists in the country and not a
few of the recent books have been
embellished with pictures in colors. AS
the mechanical problems of color print
ing are gradually being solved it is to
be expected that the quality of these
illustrations have been improving all
the time. There continues to be. OF
course, a great many 'freakish' ap-
pearing books, because some publish
ers believe that they must have some
thing different from the Others in order
10 attract the public attention. 1t re-
minds one of a remark once made by
a great editor TO a subordinate.
Stop trying to be original" he said.
More failures are made through try
ing 10 be original than in working
along usual lines"
When one thinks OF the monstrosl-
ties which are perpetrated IN the name
OF originality-in the book world alone
the truth OF the editorial dictum Is
appreciated.

Some of these children's books de-
serve special mention. Riley's "Tne

with delightful bits of verse which to
read is to be a child again. The COL

verse which Mr.. Riley has published
for five years. The Emmy Lou
stories will take high rank for two
reasons they will attract the young
people and they will delight the older
folk. The latter class will understand
and appreciate them better, but that

are also well liked by the younger peo-
