..IN the MISSOURI WOODS"
A Orsnd Book just Prom the Press
WrIttea BY Mra. j. <. Hudson
end Of Interest to sll Low.
ere Of the Beautiful.

The DEMOCRAT has just received a
neat little volume written and pub
lished by Mrs. J. X. Hudson, dedi-
Gated ''to a lover of nature-a friend
-Mathilda Willitts Kingman," who
is the aged widow Of Ex-Chief Justice
kingman Of Kansas.
The authoress, in classical language
depicts the beauties Of nature as she
views them on the borders of the
rugged Usage in the heart of Old
Missouri, which is replete with gems
of poetry, yet written in prose. Mrs.
Hudson for months lived with her
husband. Gen. J. X. Hudson, at the
''Rookery," their picturesque home
in Versailles. They are both noble
characters who elevate and delight all
with whom they come in contact
their lives apparently being a sweet
springtime the year round.
The delightful little volume is m
titled sin the Missouri Woods"
and is the peer of any flower that
helps to send forth nectar over the
rugged country which the authoress
describes as natures grand plane
which poets, in seeking subject mat
ter, have lost sight of.
The book starts off with illustrated
scenes on Gravois creek, familiar to
every lover of natures pure beauty in
this and other counties near the
Usage river. She includes the caves
formed in rocks at different points in
this county. First, Spears cave with
its interesting scenic effects; the
staid old water mill fading away by
picce-meal. son the Moreau" is an
illustrated scene right here at home
grand beyond description. The old
James mill is recognized eve by our
school children who have spent days
of pleasure picnicking IN its ruins.
These are only a few of the beauti-
full illustrations-all valuable because
no other book contains them. These
scenes are described in a gifted liter
airy vein never attempted by other
prose writer's not conceived in fiction
but gathered from natural scenery and
facts that can be verified. The book
concludes with a scene in 'Possum
Hollow both interesting and humor-
Gus.
The volume has been placed on
sale at Muntzel's Drug Store. There
are two styles-one in cloth sold at
$1.OO, the other in flexible leather at
81. so. There should be a demand
for this volume in Missouri such as
the authoress cannot at present antic-
ipate. 1t is worthy a place in every
library as it is not only good reading,
but shows to the younger generation
that there is something more beautiful
''in the Missouri woods" than mere
tie-timber and cord-wood, while the
merit of the work cannot help bu,
meet the admiration of an intelligent
public generally.
