When the guileless man from the
country goes to the big city with his
heart full of innocence and his pockets
full of money, he should look not upon
the wine when it is red, nor upon the
beer when it is amber. nor upon strange
young women who have picture hats
and very red cheeks and familiar ways
and he should likewise steer clear of
the smooth stranger who is anxious to
show him the sights. A man from
Maine learned all this in Boston. this
week, and the lesson cost him $4,000.
But he wasn't the first one, and there
will be many yet to have a similar ex-
perience.

Some Recent Popular Books.

The Boohman, which always keeps
close account of the best selling books,
has made Il tabulation from its lists of
the past eight years, by which it shows
what have been most popular books
in this period, and who have been the
favorite authors. The books and au-
thors are considered under various
ssficatiors. but the last one of final
rank" is sufficient for present purposes.
In the order OF their popularity,
judged by the Bookman's monthly re-
cord. are found the following books:
David Harum," When Knighthood
Was in Flower" QUO Vadis, ITO
Have and To Hold" BESIDE the Bonnie
Briar Bush" Richard Carvel," The
Right of Way" The Firginian," "Eben
Holden" alice of Old Vincenness,
The Reign of Law Janice Meredith"
This is the record for the first II books,
Have you read al of them?
In the list of authors, judged from
the Bookman Winston Churchill is
found to lead. Following in order are
Gilbert Parker, James Lane Allen.
Henri Sienkicwicz, Mary Johnston, Ed
ward n. Westcott, Rev. John Watson
Clan Maclarem, Anthony Hope, nv
ing Bachelor, Charles Major, Paul Lei
cester Ford, Maurice Thompson. OF
these, it will be seen three have died,
Mr. Westcott, Paul Leicester Ford and
Maurice Thompson. Miss Johnston is
seriously i'll, suffering from a nervous
and mental break down, and has been
unable to complete her serial for Harp
er's. DR.. Watson has written nothing
to compare with his Brian Bush
sketches. Mr.. Majors later books have
met with nothing like the popularity
accorded his first.
1t is interesting to note what authors
are represented by more than one book
in these lists. The following are cred
tied with two each: Winston Churchill
Charles Major, Gilbert Parker, Mary
Johnston, james Lane Allen, Paul Lei
cester Ford. Both of Mr.. Churchill's
books appear well up toward the top.
"The Crisis being second, and "Rich-
ard Carvel' fourth. AS Mr.. Churchill
is named also as the first in the list
OF the popular authors, the conclusion
is reached that this young gentleman
is TT in the American world Of fiction
today.
In the list of authors, the Bookman
includes - names. Yet in a list Of this
length, one will look in vain for the
names of Howeus or James or Mrs.
Edith Wharton. Yet there is little
doubt but that the books of these three
will be read long after the name of
Winston Churchill has become dim
memory. Only those who rule their
reading according to what Everybody
reads should rely too much upon these
best selling" and most popular lists.
If the do, they may escape some things
that would be decidedly worth their
while to read.
