! ton which does credit to the author.
Mr.. Emerson Hough. 1t is said that the
publishers have delegated to q repre-
sentative the task of making the book
| the best selling volume in twenty cities.
No reasonable expense is to be spared
in this plan. Just what effect these
| methods will nave on the book trade is
not clear. AT any rate, Mr.. Hough is to
be congratulated, provided his contract
calls for a royalty on every copy OF his
book sold, regardless of the expense OF
its selling. The other Mississippi novel
in mind is I'm the Eagles Talon" a
story Of the Louisiana Purchase. The
author, Mrs. Sheppard Stevens, is not
unknown to the book world. but it is
doubtful if she has done so good a book
as this last. The eagle in the title is
the great Napoleon, who has become in
fatuated with a cousin of the hero. This
young man, Louis Lefreniere, leaves the
wild country, where st. Louis now stands
and goes to France to rescue his cousin.
The rev and old worlds are contrasted
in a way which makes the reader prefer
the purer atmosphere of the great
Louisiana territory, but there is nothing
impure in the story or unpleasant. The
revelation of Napoleon's character is
saved by his own act in signing the
Louisiana Purchase treaty and thus
making the young girl a subject of the
United States.
Mr.. Adrian II. Joline. whose "Medi-
tations of An Autograph Collector" has
just been published, is a member of a
New York law firm equally celebrated
for its legal skill and its literary repu-
tation. One of the partners of the firm
is William Allen Butler, who wrote
Nothing to Wear" the celebrated poem
which details the doings of Miss Flora
MFlimsey of Madison Square. This
poem first appeared in Harper,s Weekly
in 1851. and at once became popular.
The "Meditations' is the first book Mr..
Joline has done, though from his earliest
years he has had a pronounced leaning
towards literature. and a marked ca
pacity for making literary finds in the
way Of autograph letters, many Of which
are reproduced in his book.
Theodore DRESSER was so unfortunate
q year or SO ago as to publish a book
through a firm which. for some reason
or other, refused to place more than a
half dozen copies of the book on sale.
The fact that the London Academy call
ed this book one of the two best Ameri-
can novels Of the year did not seem
to alter the publishers determination to
kill the work. Mr.. DRESSER, however,
has finally arranged for the purchase
and transfer of the plates and contract
to another firm, and SISTER Carrie"
will shortly appear in a new and at
tractive edition. Mr.. DRESSER is now
at work on the proofs of another novel
which he completed recently. The
theme is a moral one, as may be inferred
from the title, "The Transgressor.' II
is the life story Of a young woman who
feels justified in making certain changes
in the accepted standards and who
sacrifices herself because of those who
love her.

Democracy searching discussion or

RUDYARD KIPLING'S NEW YORK.

, Me-" IofNA'
A new story by Rudyard Kipling is to
appear in an early number of Scrlbhef S
Magazine, and it is one of the boldest
and most brilliant expressions OF Mr..
Kipling's genius. With the exception OF
q few sketches relating to experience IN
South Africa, no short story has come
from Nj. Kipling for several years, ana
he has produced no story of this rank
in a much longer time. The title Wire
less gives a hint as to the modern de-
v~clopments in electric phenomena that
suggested the story to Mr.. kipling, but
it contains in it no intimation or the
amazing originality and skill with which
he has worked it out. And yet, no
other title could describe SO exactly the
extraordinary psychological situation
that forms the main incident Of the tale.
It is a story that Will stir the interest
of readers to enthusiasm.

PHILOSOPHY OF THE PRISON.

[Ging-sing IN. u Star OF Hopel
Example is more forcible than pro
cept.
Suspicion is a source of great un-
happiness.
Do not waste time in useless re-
grets over losses.
The heart hardens by misfortune
like the hands of labor.
The man who goes TO the bad sell
dom mas a long journey.
Some people are so good-natured
that they are disagreeable.
Under all circumstances make the
best of your surroundings.
The small boy will not be in eVi-
dence, so our lives will be safe.
1t Is upon the smoothest ice we
slip; the toughest path is the safest.
Some people who think they are
simply perfect are perfectly simple.
Few temptations beset the indus
trious, but all temptations assail the
idle.
True greatness does not consist in
never failing, but rising again after
a fall.
If fortune has played thee false to-
day, do thou play true for thyself to-
morrow.
One should look beneath the foam
on the sea to see that which lies in
the depths below.
There is no cell so dark that it can
not be penetrated by the Roman
candle of kindness.
Yes, indeed; a prisoner is like a
man at the dentists waiting to have
a tooth pulled. He has generally to
stay and see the thing out.

and freedom are essential to human
happiness. We are denied freedom,
so let US recIine gracefully on the

and belt ribbons are sold in sets and

One of the things which one may
buy of the jeweler is a small cinerary
urn of crystal. 1t is small and grace

The snake bracelet is with US

the half-uplifted head of plain metal,
with sapphires, emeralds or topazes
for eyes.
Fobs are winning their way with
feminine fancy and sporty one is
of black silk ribbon with a goTl
horseshoe with nailheads of bril-
liants and a silver stiTrup.
An odd watch fob is in the design
of three dogs heads in silver, con-
nected with fine link chains. The
eyes of each are jeweled, and the de-
sign looks prettier than the descrip-
tiOn sounds.
Here is a new variety Of the shirt
