Clara Louise Burnham's new novel,
"Jewer is Just published by Houghton'
NifAin a co. The central figure of the
story. it is expected, will be as well
liked as Little Lord Fauntleroy, But
the book is not a juvenile. The success
of Mrs. Burnham's last book, THE
Right Princess will be remembered
but the new story Is said to be more
increasing
Mcclure. Phillips f& Company's
'Falk" a new book by Joseph Conrad
the author Of youth" Like Youth,
consists Of three long short stories
Youth" dealt with adventures on the
worlds waterways; "Falk' deals win
adventures on the pathway or love
Critics have conjectured great deal
as to what Mr.. Conrad would do with
the love theme, With the three stories
I'm "Falk' he answers the question In
his own original way. They are GER
talnly very much like any other love
stories ever written, In the FIRST the
action turns upon the confession to his
sweetheart by morose pilot and ~
rant IN q far away oriental harbor, that
he was once driven by circumstances
to cannibalism. The other tales are
similarly unique in motive and theme
Joel Chandler Harris's contribution
to the present literary season Is In the
form of volume of fairy and folk lore
tales, under the title Of "Wally Wan
deroon and His Storytelling Machine
which Mcclure, Phillips & Co. have just
brought out II is very Characteristic
OF the creator his sweetness and his
delightful fancy. The idea of a story
telling machine Is very happy one
and Just the right kind OF peg for Mr.
Harris to hang his imaginative tales
upon The book Is one Of the kind that
you will want to give to a child after
you have read 1t yourself.

mer Mr.. White, with few other men
as hardy and as ready for adventure as
he, was trampng the back bone Of the
Sierra NeVadas through painless for
ests, and over trailless ranges, for IA
good deal more than a thousand miles.
The party entered the mountains at the
Yosemite valley and went southwark
coming out at the great desert In the
southeast Of California, They camped
most of the time far above an altitude
Of 10000 feet Mr., White declares that
the beauty Of the inner valleys of the
Sierras beggar description; that the
valleys into which he and his compan-
ions went were so magnificent as TO
make the famed Yosemite pale into in
significance.
Elizabeth Bisland Mrs, wetmore),
whose romance "A Candle Of Under

teresting way As n southern woman

Schurz the old question OF the civil
War, and invariably Mr. Schultz de-
clared that he could not account to
himself FOR her attitude OF mind about

Schurz said why don't you write a
book explaining the reasons why wo-
man growing up In the south at that
period feels as you do2" The idea grew
IN Miss Bisland's mind, and she did
write the novel OF which Mr. Schurz
now calls himself the godfather The

woman's standpoint, hut also from the
point Of view OF little girl who, being
sent north during the war, returned to
her southern home, astonlshed to find
IN II great holes made by cannon shot.
