Worrall Wants $128,60O.

In his petition, drawn by Jeffries

makes many serious allegations
against the defendants. He asks for
damages in the sum of $12S,60O.
This said Mr. Jeffries, SIS mere

LITERARY NOTES

The Old Greek Press, Chicago, has
just published two new books by Sher-t
win Cody, "A Dictionary Of Errors
and How to Read and What to Read"
The former treats of grammar, punctu-
alton, letter writing, pronunciation,
spelling, and the use of words. 1t is
certainly a model both of compactness
and comprehensiveness. With only 1876
pages, pocket size, it has everything
the ordinary man will want. Every
thing is carefully systematized and
simplified. The correct form is put
to the front, SO that is the form to
remain in the memory, and the incor-
rect form is put later in parenthesis,
or is merely implied as the opposite of
the correct form. In this the book is
unlike anything else on the market.
1t is also unique in giving prounucia-
lions. No word is covered over with
.puzzling diacritical marks, but atten-
ton is concentrated in simple way
on the syllable or letter in which an
error is likely to be made,''.. "Accli-
mate--accent eli, not acs' This
book is short enough for any person
to study it all through and master ii,
and it is SO complete that any one who
never makes any of the errors pointed
out will be far more correct than the
average college-bred man or woman
In How to Read and What to
Read the authors first chapter is on
what Constitutes Good Poem %.
then What Constitutes Good
Novel;" He briefly reviews the whole
field of English literature, fixing few
dates and giving a summary so that
an average person may be sure he
has not overlooked any book which it
is a disgrace not to have read. He
has been assisted by Dr. E. Benz. An
drews, Mr. Fred Hid, of the Chicago
Public Library, and Mr.. w. I. Fletcher,
editor of the American Library Asso-
cations Index to General Literature
and librarian of Amherst college,
They have united in preparing books
which Mr.. Cody prints after his own
list, on which he has also had their
suggestions.
