UyHE demands of thousands OF children
who became fascinated with l..
Il Frank Baum's delightful fairy story,
THE Wizard of o." and have been de-
manding ever since its publication to
know more about Dorothy" ard what
became of the Cowardly Lion?" and
what did ozma do afterward?" have re-
suited in another book which relates the
further adventures of these wonderful
characters.
1t is called Gonna of o." and will be
put upon the market within the next
three weeks by the Reilly & Britton COM
pany of Chicago, the book publishers who
control all of Mr. Baum's writings. AL
though the name of the book is "Ozma OF
o." little Dorothy Gale is OF so mucn
Importance in It's marvellous story that IL
ought more properly to be called Dorothy
Dale in Ozland.
In II Mr.. Baum has created some new
characters which are quite as unique and
remarkable as were the Tir Woodman,
the CowardIy Lion, the Scarecrow and
the various other wonderful creations or
the wizard of o."
OF the new characters one of the most
remarkable Is the Hungry Tiger Doro-
thy's first sight of him came as follows:
"A broad green carpet was unroiiins
itself upon the desert and advancing
across It was wonderfur procession that
made the girl open her eyes in amaze
ment. First came a magnificent golden
chariot, drawn by a great lion and an
immense tiger, who stood shoulder to
shoulder and trotted along as gracefully
as a we'll matched team Of thoroughbred
horses. And standing upright within the
chariot was a beautiful princess clothed
in flowing robes of silver gauze and wear
ing a jeweied diadem upon her DAINTY
head. She held In one hand the SATIN I'D
hons that guided her astonishing team,
ard In the other an ivory wand that sep
arated at the top into two prongs, the
prongs being tipped by the letters % and
" made of glistening diamonds set close
ly together"
This was the Princess Ozma, Dorothy's
old friend and behind came all the Won
derful playmates she had had In the Land
of or. The Tiger was just yawning so
that he displayed two rows OF terrible
teeth and a mouth big enough to startle
anv one. He complained Of being hungry,
and Dorothy asked him why he didn't eat
something.
CTS no USE" said the Tiger sadly;
"'Tve tried that, but I always get nun
CRY again" .,
"Why, it's the same way with me-"
said Dorothy, yet l keep on eating"
But you eat harmless things, so 1t
doesn't matter" replied the Tiger. For
my part am savage beast, and have
an appetite for all sorts of poor little
living creatures, from chipmonk to fat
babies"
How dreadful said Dorothy.
isn't II, thought" returned the hungry
Tiger, licking his lips with his long red
tongue. "Fat babies Don't they sound
delicieusa But I've never eaten any, be-
cause my conscience tells me 1t is wrong
II had no conscience / would probably
eat the babies and then get hungry
again. which would mean had sacrificed
the poor babies for nothing. No; hungry
was born and hungry I shall die. But
will have no cruel deeds on my conscience
to be sorry for"
Another friend whom Dorothy encoun-
tered during this series Of adventures
was Tiktok, He was only about as tall as
Dorothy herself and his body was round
as ball and made out Of FURNISHED cop
per. Also his head and limbs were cop
per, and these were jointed or hinged to
his body in a peculiar way, with metal
