"The Territorial Growth of the Unit ed States" by William A. Mowry, A. m., Ph. D., with thirteen maps.
 This is an interesting, useful and in structive book of PAP pages, published by Silver, Burdett & Co.,, New York. It comments itself to all readers. It treats of the various territorial &C., quisitions of the United States from the settlement of the original thirteen states to the annexation of the Philip pine Islands. The chapter titles serve to indicate the scope of the work; ''The Thirteen Original States "The Northwest Territory" Louisiana" :" Florida" Texas and New Mexico" California, Oregon" Alaska" Hawaii" Porto Rico" and "The Philippine Islands" A concluding chapter sums up the foregoing matter and forecasts the future.
 The subject is certainly one which deserves wider knowledge and more careful attention from the American people. Dr. Mowry has been most care- ful and painstaking in his search for facts, going back in many cases to original sources, studying State papers and official documents. All the causes leading up to the acquisition of each portion of territory, as we'll as the re- suits attendant upon it, are set forth with clearness and fairness. The his tory of the Louisiana Purchase and the acquisition of the Oregon Country are

"The Story of Little Eva" is the pioneer volume in the Famous Chil- dren of Literature" series, edited by Frederic Lawrence Knowles, and pub lished by Dana Estes & Co.,, Boston.
 It is a fortunate coincidence that the semi-centennial of the publication of Uncle Toms Cabin should be the date for the appearance of selection from it's pages adapted to the taste of young readers. The part of Mrs. Stowe's novel which is most certain to please a child is that relating to the beautiful life of Little Eva" In any list of the famous children of literature Evangeline St. Clare should certainly have a prominent place-a little girl with a suggestion of both fairy and angel, and yet wholly and winsomely human, character unique and rare in the pages of novelist or poet.
 It is fitting that this immortal child heroine should form the subject of the first volume in this new series of juvenile stories, which aims to provide innocent amusement for the young reader, and pave the way for a wider familiarity with the works of the best English and American novelists.

''Barnaby Lee," by John Bennett, 12mo, 454 pages, with 34 full-page illus trations by Clyde o. De Land, price $150. The Century Co.,, New York.
 The scene and time of this book are New Amsterdam during the sway of Peter Stuyvesant. The hero-a run away from the tyranny of scouudrel- ly ship-captain little better than pir- ate-is rescued from his many troubles by the timely capture of the Dutch city when the English fleet arrives. Many colonial notables, drawn with the truth and force the author exhibited in his previous book, Master Skylarl," play their stirring drama on this little stage,
 While "Barnaby Lee" was first pub lished as a serial story in St. Nicholas, yet there is so much in it that appeals Ito older people as well as to boys and girls that the publishers are offering lit not simply as juvenile" but as a story worth the reading of people of any age.
 @ MT. De Lands illustrations are not only very numerous. but they are ex- tremely good, and help to give the reader vivid picture of New Amster- dam in the days when it's doughty, one legged governor stumped through the town.

hours Saturday on his return

tie to some grass lands he owns

presented himself to the unac-
quainted, as he wore blue over
alls turned up at the bottom as
the latest fashion; a red bandana
handkerchief around his neck
for a collar, raw hide boots and
one of the latest styles of farm

ley said that he was never hap

in Kansas, and hopeful of her
future. Politically, he said in
his opinion there was only one
course to take in the coming con-
test, and that is to unite with the
Democrats and place only one
ticket in the field in opposition to
the Republican party, and for
the reform parties to lay aside
their petty differences and rise

craddock for Governor.

What the Democrats did at
Emporia in 1882, they repeated
at Wichita in 1902. Craddock
will be Click over again. No
body looked for Click twenty
years ago; nobody looked for
Craddock to-day. The occasion
comes, the man appears.
John Martin, then the favorite
Democrat of Topeka, was the
forechosen nominee of Democra-
cy at Emporia in 1882, but des-
tiny that shapes the ends of par
ties, as of individuals, trough
hew them as we WILL" decided
that Click should lead the scat
tered and well-nigh broken hosts.
His nomination, though scoffed
at on first blush, brought at last
scoffers to their knees in repent
ance. He was elected.
David Overmyer, now the fav-
orite Democrat of Topeka, was
the forechosen nominee of De-
mocracy at Wichita in 1902, but
fate that decides the battles of
the forum and the field alike, said
it must be another and the or
acles whispered Craddock.
Thus it is in politics, the un-
expected is ever happening. In
the balmy summer of EIGHTY
two" few had the hardihood to
predict Clicks success, but in
sober October, when fireside
Judgment calls for decision, there
were hosts cheering and conjur-
ing with the name of Click. So,
now, when June comes straying
in with the roses of Republican
pomp and power, there are but
here and there a minority of
watchful. determined voters say.
ing that Mayor Craddock, anoth.
er Missouri river stalwart, will
be governor of Kansas. But wait;
the simple song hummed so low
by few now will be the chorus OF
the majority when the ideas OF

things about the state house.
And the times are suspicious,
the omens favorab BILE. Parallels
are in sight and history stands
ready with the inevitable repiti-

Where every voter is a sovereign

voice of power omnipotent and

Moreover, when determined
survivors of the shattered com.
panies, regiments. brigades and
divisions of a routed Democracy
met at Emporia in 1882, they
looked upon their triumphant
victors led by a commander in a
dead mans saddle, promoted by
the awful hand of an assassin.

mise in the choice of republican
leaders, whom few expected and
nobody wanted, was president

When the old guard, with the
young recruits of the Jefferson
hosts, assembled at Wichita in
1902, they looked from their OWE
depleted ranks to see their polit'

and purse-proud with patronage
led by another compromise New
Yorker in another dead mans
saddle. They beheld Roosey cit,
booted and spurred, riding rough
