NEW WORK ON AN OLD TOPIC
McAvOy Presents His Twsnty-Ninth Edi-
ton of the City Directory.
FULL OF NAMES AND REFERENCES
Literary style Not Particularly At
tractIve, but Subject Matter of
Much Interest to Present and
Future Generations.

The literary editor of T Bee begs to
acknowledge receipt Of the twenty-nintn
volume of William G. McAvoy's interesting
work on persons We Have Met, Never
Met. and Never Care to Meet" otherwise
termed the Omaha city directory.
For students of Mr.. McAvoy's previous
works IL will be sufficient to state that this
one has bearing upon the same era and
deals with characters he has already made
familiar. But, to be frank, the authors
style is becoming tedious. There is an
everlasting sameness about what he writes
and one searches in vain for some pungent
paragraph that can be quoted before the
Philosophical society or played as original
at a swell dinner. He grinds out page after
page in plain matter-ot-fact, work-day'
battleax style and then attempts an aWk-
ward concession to the tendency OF modern
journalism by sticking in a yellow ribbon
as a place keeper.
He IL Pandering to PROSPERITY.
There will come a time when Mr.. Nc
Avoy's works will be searched for dill
gently and studied profoundly, perhaps;
but the search and the study will be
prompted by that same desire to monkey
with the facts and names OF the long-dead
past that now animates certain distin-
guished gentlemen who are scratching the
pyramids Of Egypt In the hope OF digging
up more scandals about Mr.. Ptolemy, a
deceased contractor, and his family. Mr.,
Ptolemy is generally conceded to have been
unfair to union labor, but Eastern institu-
lions Of learning are not content TO let the
matter rest with the corpse, and one can
not refrain from some times suspecting that
Mr.. McAvoy. noting the expensive expedi-
lions they have sent out, has been fred by
an unholy ambition to write more for re-
search, present and future. than for simple
entertainment. and to provide clues for the
historians Of 1908.
To make a bad matter worse, the author
has been guilty of rank partially. In this
last volume he makes honorable mention
Of exactly 1.O65 persons and firms whose
names begin with Nc. The Brown family
is mentioned 26s times. the Smith family
