Millions of Amer jeans who chortled over Pigs Is Pigs" will accord it's deserving little success sor the same rousing reception. Eph. Deacon's and Phineas Doolittie's plan for cornering the supply the luscious American product by gaining control of the flour output, the cooperage in- dustry the lard market, the orchards and the railroads is as excruciatingly funny as Mike Flannery's famous pre- i dicament. The book Is happily illustrat- | ed by Frederick Door Steele. Take a sample of the pie mans discussion, as follows:
 We got to form a stock company, you an me, an put all our earnings together, an then divide up once in so often" said Pieman Deacon to Pieman Doolittle.
 T guess mebby we better take turns ben' treasurer" suggested Phineas.
 "All right" said Eph. T want my turn first" The crude unsyndicated ! pie, needless to say, was the rival work of Mesdames Deacon and Doolittle.
 Wed buy all the fruit in the United States. We got to buy out the farms and hire Gle farmers to run em. An when we do that, we've got to own all ! the mills, so no one else can make any flour to start bakin We've got to own the wheat belt
 Suppose them lumber fellers up north wouldn't furnish timber to sup ply our barrel factories, S'pose that about the time we needed to run our cloth mills to make sacks them cot ton growers down south
 "Youe right, Eph; American Pie { has got to buy out the timber belt an the cotton belt. We got to buy out the railroads. once we own them we can get proper freight rates.
 Why, Phin, we'll be as good as bosses of these United States, won't I we?"
 | Amt you afraid some of them for eign countries II ship in flour or fruit?"
 How can they when we put the tariff up like we will? Course, while we're buying up these other things we've got to buy up congress. We'll have a dickens of tax bill to pay
 Well swear off our taxes said 4 Phineas shortly.
 Fair wages is all right" said Eph, "but nowadays they want the whole hog, You don't hear of onthin but labor unions a strikes"
 Phineas had also been thinking,
 'Eph," he said, you're right there, If our farmers and millers and bakers did strike, an folks starved to death, we'd like as not be impeached an tried for treason or something, an put in Jail. l like money but not so much as to have that happen"

"Where the Trail Divides" by Will Lillibridge. Dodd, Mead X Co.,, New York; $l50, at Judas.
 "Where the Trail Divides" is a breezy, strong and thrilling story of early days in the West, sometimes melodramatic, but 8 story that is told with real power The story opens with an Indian massacre, from which a white girl baby and a young Indian lad are miraculously rescued to play the leading roles in romance based upon race prejudice. The lost pappoose is known as How Landor, because he and one survivor of the massacre, a little white girl, are adopted and rear ed together by Colonel Landor who by his fatherly action brings about a highly interesting and unusual TO- nance and other serious and startling complications It all takes place in Dakota, beginning when the whole territory had no more population than small city and when boom towns sprang up in night, perhaps only to be plotted out by an Indian raid It is a strikingly original tale, and evil dently true picture of ranch life and Indian warfare in the early days in the West The story's ending is thrill ing and highly pathetic and told in a masterly way.

troduce the keynote of the story. Gradually, however, individual person. ages become indistinct and appear in wider and remote scenes. The author writes with evident sincerity and the purpose of the story is the advocacy of, large charity in spiritual develop ment The character of Judith, who is a noble and beautiful young woman, is an inspiring and fascinating one. The other women characters are nat ural and well-drawn.

 The Flying Cloud" a story of the sea, by Morley Roberts. l.. c. Page & Co.,, Boston; $1.50, at Judds.
 Here again in ''The Flying Cloud" Mr. Roberts shows his wonderful skill in depicting life at sea in weather far and foul and likewise his power as a story teller. "The Flying Cloud" is full of sensations, adventure, daring deeds and exciting incidents, and the thous- ands of admirers of his sea stories will welcome the book and reaed 1t with avidity. "Jack," the hero of the tale, leaves home after a quarrel and takes a steerage passage in the Flying Cloud, big iron Glasgow steamship bound for Australia, whose officers are white men and whose crew is Khalase, brown men of the East. Jack watches with eager eyes the handling of the ship in all it's various phases and soon, with his keen habit of observation discovers ithat there is a mystery on shipboard. This mystery grows and deepens, It relates to the captain and his strange indifference to his wife, child and even to his ship. Jack is a ready learner and "catches on' quickly as to the sailors work and duties. One of the best told passages is the description of i lacks first climb aloft trip which | told on his nerves a little, untrained
 to this experience. There is a tonic
 quality in Jack, in his youth, his hope fitness, his daring in emergencies, his cheerfulness and intrepity. The pie ture of the sea as seen through Jacks eyes is a spirited one. The discours- ] iveness of the author if checked and restrained would improve the ,tory
 but the reader forgets it in the swift
 onward rush of the vivid story telling
 and the exciting moments which occur
 when the criminals and villains or
 board get in their diaboiical work, The
 descriptions of the sea in it's angry
 moods are powerful and in MT. Rob I ertI' best vein.
