Policeman Flynn, by Elliott Flower; 12mo.. 294 pages, s150. Illustrated by Frederic Dorr Steele, New York: The Century Go. For sale at Judas.
 Tn this book Mir Elliott Flower has created an American character of unique interest, and has given new type of humor to the world. Flynn is a resourceful and honest policeman, so honest that when promoted he makes an earnest and successful plea to be "ray-dooced to tn r-Tanks '"T is too easy ben' a sergeant" he says, ''an' don't sleep nights for thinkin' iv dhraw- in me pa-ay without wor-rkin' fir It. Nor is he inclined to make arrests for light offenses. Sind him home whin ye cam that's me wa-ay iv doin' it. TT is easy done if he have money in his pocket to pay fir tn cab"
 Policeman Flynn has many adven- tures,--he quells a riot, he stops an au- tomobue (and wishes he hadn't when he finds that he is expected to run it in"), he arrests a defaulter, he discusses marriage, and in every chapter there is humor and human nature.
 number of the chapters have ap- peared in the Century Magazine but the reader of these will not realize what complete and well-rour SAd character MT. Flower has constructed until he reads the book, And it was not all con- struction, for Policeman Flynn" is said to have been real parsonage, a mem Der of the force in Chicago, and some of his adventures as related are actual oc- currences.
