Bobbs-Merrill Company.
1t Is no light task to render briefly and
without sacrificing their peculiar quality
the wonderful stories told by Charles Dick
ems to his readers years ago. 1t calls for
the cleverness of the fiction writer, who
knows how stories are constructed, and for
q lover OF Dickens. who knows wherein lie
the leading points of interest to accom-
plish this work capably. Miss Rives has
brought both qualities to the preparation
of this volume. which is offered as one of
the holiday books. Prefaced by brief but
comprehensive sketch of Dickens. Miss
Rives tells the stories Of Oliver Twist, Bar
naby Rudge, Little Nell, David Copperfleld
Pip Of Great Expectations, Nicholas Nick
leby, Dombey and Son, Little Dorrit. Martin
Chuzzlewlt, Piekwick and his friends. and
Our Mutual Friend, A Tale of Two Cities,
Bleak House, Hard Times and The Mystery
Of Edwin brood. Finally there Is an index
to characters while each story is pref
aced by page setting forth the date and
scene of the action and a list of the people
who figure. The Illustrations are admirably
in keeping with the text. being in fact
clever approximations of some Of the most
faithful contemporary illustrators of Dick
ems.

Mr.. VOTER, CONSIDER THIS.

For twenty years the saloon policy
was in force at Willmar undisturbed.
1t left the city finances in a deplor-
able condition. This is the third con-
tinuous no.license year and the finan-
ces have never been in better shape.
The administration promises for the
next year more improvements than
last year and reduced city taxes if the
people of the city will vote to sustain
the no-license policy. The citizen that
will refuse to allow the good work to
continue at Willmar and give the adj
ministration a chance to show what
can be accomplished under no.license
policy does not sincerely desire to see
the liquor problem solved. q:
