Of Interest to Book Lovers.

This is an age of books, and
every intelligent reader feels the
need of keeping informed on the
best among the thousands of new
volumes that come from the press
every year. The best way to do
this is to subscribe for a good
metropolitan newspaper that prints
daily reviews of the most import
ant books as fast as they appear.
The Chicago Record-Herrld is gen.
orally conceded to be the leading
literary daily west of New York.
1t gives more attention to books
than any other Chicago paper, treat
ing them as a theme Of everyday
news and covering the whole range
of current literature as if it believed
books were actually as interesting
to its readers. as, say, the pork
market or the latest murder. Its
literary department, under the ed
itorship of E. L. Shuman, is I'm
doubtedly the most complete and
the most ably conducted in the
west. Mr.. Schunan literary
judgments are eagerly sought by
authors themselves and are quoted
all over the country, and so are
those of his able corps of skilled
assistants. Walter Littleheld'
weekly news letter from New York
keeps all the Record-Herald' read
ers informed on all the forthcoming
books of importance. and his sum-
mary Of all the leading magazine
features at the beginning of each
month is very valuable. Naturally
persons of literary tastes prefer the
Record-Herald to all other Chica.

the late Jacob Korns, who died in this

der it he left all Of his personal prop
erty and one-half Of his real estate to
