PUBLIC FREE LIBRARY NOTES
Autumn is the season of new books
and if one may jucjgo from the publish
ers announcements this year promises
to bo prolific of good fiction The older
authors those whom wo are safe in rely
ing upon have been at it harder than
usual while many younger writers with
whoso work wo have suflicient familiari
ty to make their names known to us are
offering their wares for our pleasure and
profit
Wo like best what wo knowi best and
we are more deeply interested in what
concerns us than in what is remote
We feel a keener sympathy for the work
of an author with whom we have some
acquaintance or even one wnom we
have merely seen than we do for the
books of those who live at a distance
and of whom we know nothing And it
is right and natural that these should
be our sentiments These are the rea
sons why western writers who with
each year aro coming into greater prom
inence receive and deservedly so much
of our attention Chicago the great
city of the west in which every western
er however far away he lives feels a
proprietary interest has produced a
notable crop One of the most famous
of these is a young woman who contin
ues to write under her maiden name
Margaret Ilorton Potterthough she was
married a year or so ago to a lawyer
named Black a son of that General
Black who was recently elected com
mander in chief of the Grand Army of
the Republic Mrs Black published
her first book when she was but 18
Last year her Istar of Babylon attracted
wide attention and enjoyed a huge cir
culation This fall she has another The
Castle of Twilight of which the critics
speak most flatteringly though one
should receive with reservations what
Chicago critics says of the work of a
Chicago author
Mrs Elia W Peattie another Chica
go woman and one who is even more of
a westerner than is Mrs Black for she
spent several years of her life in Ne
braska is out with a new story The
Edge of Things a striking novel of
western life say the publishers Mrs-
Peattie is always delightful and every
thing she writes is worth reading But
one who knows the woman can scarcely
be expected to deal quite honestly with
her books In fact it is difficult to un
derstand how one who has not had the
good fortune to meet her can fully ap
preciate her work Her own personal
charm pervades it to a much greater ex
tent than the general reader can have
any idea of
There is a strong bond between the
south and the west A southern tale is
almost as fascinating as one the scenes
of which are laid in the west Such a
novel is John Foxs Little Shepherd of
Kingdom Come a story of Kentucky
life in those romantic days before the
war In these materialistic times a
books success is measured by the num
ber of copies that are sold a commer
cial criterion that is not satisfactory but
that we must still accept During the
first two weeks this book was on the
market 50000 copies were taken The
story will appeal differently to different
people Some will be principally struck
by the romance others by the delinea
tions of character while to a few the
bits of nature that one always looks for
in a book by John Fox will prove the
most attractive feature This is a book
moreover that should be read by every
one who desires to know the best in cur
Tent fiction
The Fortunes of Fifi by Mollie Elliott
Seawell is probably one of the daintiest
prettiest and most artistic books of the
season one too that every reader who
wants to be well versed in modern litera
ture wall read This author has a touch
that is exquisite a deftness and delicacy
that leads one to believe thero must be
French blood in her veins The book
is reviewed in terms of unstinted praise
The name of the author were of itself
sufficient recommendation
The Hot Blast in the Klondike
By Hard Pan Rube
Great Scott but isnt it hot I
We put one in our storo
The thermometer howling 90 below
With symptoms o gettin lower
Bill put in fewill an teched it off
An she soon set in to sizz
Like a steamboat climin Chilcoot Pass
An gee whiz she was biz
It got too hot for a Hottentot
And sot in to paint things red
An us fellers clum fer a colder clime
Ho couldnt get near to shut her off
An thar rose tho yelp of Fire
While miners flattened ginst the house
Jis to thaw out an perspire
Couldnt do nothin till she burnt out
Which she held the fort till night
She melted six foot o snow outside
With the icicles out of sight
We got onto her ways an toned her down
At her best she was too vast
Now nothin warms our miners hearts
Like Colos Chicago Hot Blast

The big mystery which has hung over
the Western Pacific railroad -as to who
is backing it has been cleared away and
almost incontrovertible information has
reached Denver in reference to it The
road incorporated with 50000000 capi
tal to build from Salt Lake City to San
Francisco has been discussed from Wall
street to the Pacific coast more than
any railroad enterprise of recent years
Almost invariably George Gould has
been credited with being its backer
Even his denials did not have any effect
on this belief It is now learned from a
positive source that Gould is no way con
nected with the Western Pacific but
that the road is being constructed by a
private syndicate upon the same finan
cial plan as the Denver Northwestern
Pacific and that the two roads are very
closely allied The Burlington interests
while not credited with owning the two
companies are very closely connected
with them and J Pierpont Morgan and
James J Hill are both large holders

The Vaccination Question Again
Editor Tribune I read with consid
erable surpriso an articlo in your paper
entitled The Other Side in which the
writer makes an attempt to prove that
vaccination is worthless Why Mr Ed
itor that attempt was mado in 1798 and
it took scientific men a year or so to de
cide that tho discoverer of vaccination
was not only a benefactor to the wholo
human race but worthy of the highest
honors that could bo bestowed and be
sides awarding tho sum of thirty or forty
thousand pounds to him a statue was
erected in Trafalgar square London that
coming generations might gaze upon the
form and features of their bonefaetor
Now so far as statistics go to prove
the point let mo say that Sweden beforo
she vaccinated her people lost 2050 peo
ple per 1000000 and after vaccination
only 158 Berlin tried to get along with
out it and could not so she vaccinated
hor people and lo and behold in 1883
she only lost 17 per 100000 In 18S8 the
Berlin health office shows the mortality
per 100000 as follows Dresden 0 Ber
lin 007 London 07 etc etc
Now take tho German army Since
1874 but one death has been reported
from small pox
One more statistical point Since vac
cination has been introduced epidemics
havo fallen from 711 per century to 21
I am deeply grieved that such views
as those eiven in aforesaid article exist
in this present day for they influence
the people who are not versed in vacci
nation and who dont want to be vacci
nated
The writer of the articlo claims to
have investigated the history of vaccina
tion well and good but that is not
enough vaccinate and get your own
results find out for yourself the meth
ods in vogue at present are somewhat
different than those formerly used
though tho principle is the same and
the results are too conclusive to admit
of any argument a conclusiveness which
has been strengthened and confirmed
by latter day investigators

Dieting Invites Disease
To cure dyspepsia or indigestion it is
no longer necessary to live on milk and
toasts Starvation produces such weak
ness that the whole system becomes an
easy prey to disease Kodol Dyspepsia
Cure enables the stomach and digestive
organs to digest and assimilate all of the
wholesome food that one cares to eat
and is a never failing cure for indiges
tion dyspepsia and all stomach troubles

Beautiful Complexions
