POPULARITY OF

Best Selling Books of the
Present Year Are Work
Of lndianianS.
McCUTCHEoN AT THE HEAD
LAFAYETTE YOUNG MAN THE
MOST POPuLAR-TARKI
COMES NExT-SENATOR BEVE.
RIDGE ON THE LIST ALSO.

An examination of The Bookmans''
lists of the six best selling books for
each month discloses some interesting
facts in regard to the popularity of In
diana authors and their work. For
this investigation, the lists for a peri
cd of five years were considered, TAX
ing in the sixty months from July /,
1901, to June 1906, inclusive.
In this period forty-one of the sixty
lists contain the names of one or more
Indiana writer's. In each of six lists,
Indiana writer's figure twice; in two
lists, three times. Altogether seven
ty-nine different authors are represent
ed, some by but one book, some by sew
eral. Of these ten are from Indiana
about 1212 per cent. They are:
Thompson, McCutcheon, Catherwood,
Major, Harrington, Riley, Nicholson,
Beveridge, Miller and Phillips. Nc
Cutcheon's name appears sixteen
times, so that from this standpoint he
occupies second place, Alice Hogan
Rice being first, with twenty-five
months of popularity to her credit.
None of the others rise above ten
times. But McCutcheon has the
greatest number of Understanding
far above the rest with six. Many
have three; none but McCutcheon has
more. Of the Indiana authors, Tark-
| ington stands next to McCutcheon,
with three books and eight months of
popularity.
| AS there are sixty lists and six
books in each list, there would be, the
oretically, three hundred and sixty
best-selling books, though as a matter
of fact, the actual number of books is
less than hundred and fifty, since al
most every one occupies two or more
places in the lists. Out of the total
number of three hundred and sixty
places" (for want of better name)
Indiana books occupy forty -nine-al-
most 13 % per cent. of the whole. But
more than thirty places are taken by
books whose authors do not belong to
the United States-such writer's as
Mrs. Ward, Hall Game, Gilbert Par
ker, Kipling and others. Of the places
taken by American authors, therefore,
Indiana has about Is per cent. In
proportion to population, this is four
and four-ffthS times her share.
AS would be expected, by far the
most of the books are prose fiction.
Riley is one of the only two poets men
toned and the sole repre- sentative of
non-fiction prose is Beveridge's Rus
sian Advance"
What is more encouraging is the
fact that the last six months show In
diana's greatest popularity, for four
lists show two Indiana names each,
and the other two show three. Nc
Cutcheon's "Nedra" was one of the
best sellers for three months this
year (and two of last.) "Cowardice
Court by the same author, appeared
in the June, 1906, list for the first time,
and will no doubt, become as popular
as it's predecessors. Nicholson's
House of Thousand Candles" and
Tarkingtons Conquest of Canaan"
have been mentioned five times each.

MRS. WYATT WAS INJURED.
Former HagerstoWn Woman Met
With Serious Accident But is
Recovering.

The report emanating from Hagers-
town that Mrs. James Wyatt formerly
of that place, now living at Pomona,
Cal, had been killed in an accident
is untrue. In a letter Mr.. Wyatt says:
Mrs. Wyatt is doing as well as can
be expected. She fell a distance of
eight feet onto a cement floor susta-
lining a compound fracture of the left
arm and dislocating her right arm be-
sides tearing some of the ligaments.
She was alone at the time of the acct
dent and although the barn stands
on the back part of the lot, she made
her way unassisted TO the house. She
is now being cared for at the hospital
at Pomona, one of the prettiest towns
in California, by her friends and a
trained nurse. Her physician has
every hope of her final and permane nj
recovery"
Mrs Wyatt's age is Y years and the
natural conclusion is that on account
of her advanced age, she will bf a
long time in recovering. The Watts
have many friends and RELATIVES in
Wayne county.
