A Good Story of the Middle West.

The Middle West has long been fertile
field for the purveyors Of a somewhat serious
fiction. In That Printer Of Udell's" (the
Book Supply Company, Chicago) Mr.
Harold Bell gives us a picture Of life in
Boyd City. busy mining town in one OF the
Middle Western States. Udell's printer
was Dick .Falkner, who crawled out of a
haystack in the outskirts Of Boyd City one
morning with, is cents in his pocket and a
large and unsatished appetite. He spent
10 cents in the purchase of food for tramp
and wandering dog and gave away the
remaining nickel Then he started to look
for food and work for himself He first
tackled Mr.. Goodrich. a portly, middle
aged hardware merchant. who received
him with great rudeness and refused his
application. But, sir" said Dick, what
am to do?"
"I don't care what you do" returned the
other. AThere is a stoneyard here for
such as you"
Sir" answered Dick, standing very
straight, his face pale as death. -Sr, you
will yet learn that it does matter very much
what such fellows as do, and some day you
will be glad to apologize for your words
this morning. / am no more worthy to
WOEk OIl tIlc IoCh tudu yOuTbu. AS
q MIN, am every bit your equal and will
live to prove it. Good morning, sir"
1t satisfies our sense of justice when we
ind,that the tramp sfterward became Boyd
CitYs most prominent citizen and married
Mr.. Goodrichs daughter. As for the
naughty hardware merchant, he suffered
humiliations that he in every way deserved.
Boyd City, mainly owing to the influence
Of Udell's printer. from being one OF the
toughest towns in the West, became an
example to all the world for honest man
hood. civic pride and municipal virtue.
Substantial buildings and business houses
took the places Of the saloons that once
lined the main street. The gambling dens
and other Objectionable resorts closed
their doors. Cheap variety and vulgar
burlesque shows listed the city as dead
one, while the best Of musicians and lee
turers were always sure Of crowded houses.
The churches increased their seating ca
padty, and even the lawns and fences, by
their clean and well-kept appearance,
showed an honest pride and purpose There
were no loafers on the street corners, and,
as travelling man remarked, the change
paid from business standpoint or as
Uncle Bobbie Wicks said to his customers,
Folks come to Boyd City to live cause
they amt 'fraid to have their boys n girls
walk down the street alone" Altogether
an estimable story

4 Woman of the West

Barbara: A Woman of the West" Il title
Brown Coz, by Mr. John II. Whitson, is
thestory Of the adventures of Mrs. Timberly
OF Paragon, Kan, in search of a missing
husband. Shortly after Roger Kimberly
left his Kansas ranch to go to Cripple Creek
in search of a mining claim that had been
given to him he mysteriously and unac-
countably disappeared. His wife, Barbara
went to look for him For long while
she was unsuccessful in her search, and
1t became necessary for her to do something
to earn her living, One day as she went
into the office Of the Daily Clipper she over
heard the proprietor using very violent
language. His editor had suddenly left
him-incontinently deserted the tripod,
as the author phrases it, As she walked
into the composing room il seemed to the
profane and angry proprietor as though
beautiful and accusing spirit had entered.
"'1f you please, Mr.. Matthew'S she said,
blushing, I didn't intend to overhear, but
should like to- apply for that vacant po-
sition.'
Matthews, who was red-faced, and, in
spite Of his language a nervous man, was
surprised.
Have you had any experienced? he
you think you could do the work.
II should like to try, she urged
So she took eff her hat and set to work,
and that afternoons edition Of the Clipper
was a phenomenal success. Two years
later, when she announced her intention Of
leaving. in order to continue her unsuccess-
full search, the proprietor almost shed
tears. Il don't know" he said, where
I'll get another editor, and I never expect
to get another that can sack up good.

tonal on the reorganization Of the Legis-
lature hit like sledge-hammer It's

cuse me for using strong language Mrs.
Timbery-but damn me, 1t simply paralyzes

you"
Then he retired to the COMPOSING room,

Later she did well as a governess until
she met young Gilbert Bream, whose man
ners were unaffected and Western and who
had theories about literature and art. He
was good talker and he had bronzed and
clear-cut features and was almost hand
some, 1t is, we think, small wonder that
he disturbed the peace of mind Of Mrs.
Timberly. She had many adventures and
they were all interesting. and the author
in due time brings his story to an emincntly.
satisfying conclusion.

John Murray; e. P. Dutton Il Coz. The
author passes over the history OF his sub
ject and attacks at once the present condi,,
ton of the law in Great Britain and In the
United States. In separate chapters he
explains what the copyright In books Is
and how it is infringed, how copyright
in engravings and works of art Is obtained,
what performing rights are. and the work.
ings of International copyrights. He has
also a chapter on publishing and printing
agreements.
In the second part he takes up copy
right in the United States In the same way,
and explains the common law rights both
in America and in Great Britain. In an
appendix he gives the text Of the British
and American statutes relating to copy
right and of the international conventions
on the subject.
His work is done admirably. He i'm.
parts his information clearly and with as
little technical verbiage as possible. If
any single work can throw light on sub
jectthat is extremely confused, Mr.. MacGil-
livray's certainly should.
