Early In the season n number of notabl
new volumes , published by L. C. Page i
Co. , were reviewed In tbe-ao columns. Wlthli
the last few days several additional volume
have cotne to hand that deserve spccla
mention at this time ns being ndmlrabl ;
suited for Christmas gifts. "Christ In Art , '
by Joseph Ivcwis French , In a volume tha
nnyone with a love of art , or n leanlnl
toward Christianity would highly prize. I
Is a worthy addition to the "Art Lover ;
Scries , " so well and favorably known b ;
"The Mndonnix In Art" and "Angels In Art , '
etc. Each volume Is Illustrated with thirty
three full-page reproductions from painting !
by tbo great masters.

A very full and complete line of juvcnllci
has been Riven to the public this Reason bj
L. C. Page , many of the volumes havlnf
already been noticed In thcoo columns. "Twi
Ltttlo Knights of Kentucky" is a dalntj
llttlo volume , n sequel to "Tho Lltllo Colonel

son. The illustrations are most attractive
Another very charming book for young people
ple from the same publishing house is "Kliif
Pippin , " a delightful study of childish joyt
nnd sorrows. The hero Is a lovable little
fellow , whofcc frank and winning ways dis
arm oven the crustiest of grandmothers. A
third volume from the same publishing
house Is entitled "The Adventures of a Si
berian Cub , " translated from the Rutxslan ,
This last volume will be hailed with de
light by all children who love animals and
animal stories. The Interesting and pathetic
adventures of the orphan-bear , Mlshook ,
will appeal to old and young In much the
same wny as have "Illack Beauty" and
"Beautiful Joe. "
Several holiday volumes from the press ol
0. P. Putnam's Sons have been noticed In
those columns. They have quite recently
brought out a most artistic volume by Myrtle -
tlo Reed , entitled "Love Letters of a Mu
sician. " It Is a beautiful volume , but the
best thing that can bo said of It Is to call
attention to the fact that it went into a BCC-
end edition within a week after the first was
Issued.
The Putnams have added recently several
volumes to their fall publications of a more
serious character Ono of the number is
"Liberty In the Nineteenth Century , " by
Frederick May Holland. The author has
spent forty years in the study of the de
velopment of political and religious liberty ,
and it is surprising what a vast amount of
fact ho has gathered together in the space
of one volume of moderate size. Moreover ,
ho has made his book very readable as well
as Instructive.
Another volume from the same house that
Is of a similar character to the last men
tioned Is "Monopolies and the People , " by
Charles Whiting Baker , editor of Engineer
ing News. It has now reached Its third odl-
tlou and has been revised and enlarged. The
book first made Its appearance ten yeareago ,
since -which time nothing hotter has bean
offered to the reading public on the ( same
subject. It forms No. fi9 In the series of
volumes entitled "Questions of the Day , "
published by G. P. Putnam's Sons. It is a
scrleo that book buyers who wish to keep
abreast of the times should not overlook.
Some Recent Fiction.
Walter Haymond has written In "A
TangleO Web" nn idyl of that western Eng
lish country life which he knowa so In.l-
mately. With two main keynotes first , of
one brother's supplanting the other In his
sweetheart's affections ; then , of a pair cf
lovers and a miserly father the quiet
drama moves forward Inevitably and over
whelmingly to a pitch of tragic intensity ,
wonderfully heightened by the entire real-

Widow Who Earns It Oomss Near Losing
Her Title ,
JUDGE DICKINSON SAVES IT FOR HER
TUle IN Token from tlir Woman * ) !
sed llencfnt'tor mid li llc-
Mnrctl to Her HcmnrKnlile
Storr uf Thrift.
Five hundred dollars made nnd saveJ by
bending over a washtub Is the remarkable
record of Mrs. Jennie Leonard , a widow who
can neither read nor write the English lan
guage and whoso limited comprehension has
never carried her beyond the clothesline and
the Ironingboard.
The story of Mrs. Leonard's thrift and
economy was revealed In Judge Dickinson's
court when she appeared as plaintiff lu
equity proceedings against Jamca Grlflln ,
seeking to recover title to a little homo
which she purchased with her savings ,
Mrs. Leonard set forth that Griffin had
been her counsel In business matters. Ho
Is not an attorney , but he has some knowl
edge ot law , and she trusted his Judgment.
In 1897 Mrs. Leonard had a few hundred
dollars in the bank. She wanted a home.
The widow did not have quite enough money ,
btlt she made a cash payment and paid tbo
balance In monthly Installments. A few
months ago she made her final payment and
received n clear title to the property. It
took her last cent to do It , and Ser several
weeks she was sadly embarrassed for funds.
Meanwhile she was sued In Justice court for
a small account and judgment for $11 was
entered against her. She was unable to pay.
( JrHIlii C.ctN In ,
At that Juncture , so the widow alleges ,
Grlllln hurried to her house and told her that
the courts would sell her property tu pay
the $11 debt and that her only safe plan waste
to deed her home to htm so that it could
not be taken for debt.
The testimony brought out before Judge
Dickinson showed that this was done. Sub
sequently Mrs. Leonard discovered that sha
was In no danger of losing her property on
account of the judgment. She alleges that
she asked Grimu to convey the title back to
her , but that he refused to do so. She sought
other advice , with the result that suit was
brought to have Grlflln's deed set aside.
Judge Dickinson mode the order pra > ed
for and the title to the little homo Is now
vested In the widow who earned It by lauudry
work. Griflln did not testify In his own behalf -
half , but set up defense that Mrs. Leonard
had made the conveyance for the purpose of
defrauding her creditors out of the $11 judg
ment.
The story of how this unlettered woman
saved $500 $ out of her small earnings at the
washtub Is a recital ot self-sacrifice , priva
tion and hard labor , the like of which Is sel
dom encountered In real life.

\unioroiin I'htnlelniiM Are Called lit
the CHnrlci Moore Jlunler Ci Ne.
A stranger dropping into Judge Baker's
court room might easily be Impressed that
he had struck a medical convention , for
the atmosphere is laden with anatomical
names seldom hoard outside of a doctor's
conclave. This Is duo to the fact that nu
merous medical men are witnesses In the
case ot Charles Moore , who Is on trial for
killing John DeMolllns.
Among those who have testified are Drs.
Summers , Ralph , Dorglund and Wilson , nnd
others are to come. It Is alleged that Moore
killed DeMolllns by beating htm over the
heat ! with his fists or by knocking him down
so that his head came In contact with the
curbstone. The doctors arc' giving minute
descriptions of the Injury as they viewed It
when the dying victim was taken to Clark-
Son hospital. Regardless ot what part
Moore played In the tragedy , It is admit
ted that DeMollin's brain was ruptured , and
the defense Is attempting to show that the
rupture may have been caused by a disease
of long standing rather than by the blows
he IB alleged to have received from Moore.
One of the attorneys for the defendant ex
hibited a remarkably extensive knowledge
of anatomy and the effects of disease , and
for a time thcro was an Interesting debate
between doctor nnd lawyer , the lawyer tak
ing the position that a certain disease breaks
down the brain cells , makes them thinner ,
and , therefore , liable to rupture on the
slightest exertion.
Counsel on either side is entering Into
this case in a spirited manner and the out
come is awaited with much anxiety by
Moore's friends and others who are In at
tendance upon the trial.

The Isle of the Winds
A new and powerful serial story by
S. R. CROCKETT ,
In 18 installments , beginning Dec. 17.
ILLUSTRATED BY G. A. SHIPLEY.
This Novel fully equals "The Stickit Minister , " "The Black Douglas/ ' and "The
Raiders. " It could have been written by no author other than Crockett.
ISLE OF THE WINDS is essentially a story of adventure. Its
THE , Phillip Stansfield , the younger , is kidnapped by his father , Phillip
the elder , and carried from Scotland to the pirates' isle. Phillip the
elder , a pirate captain , has murdered his father , Sir James Stansfield , and de
serted his wife for Janet Mark , the shameless wife of Saul Mark , a gypsy sailor
who is Stansliold's evil genius. Janet as accomplice in the murder of Sir James
is sold into slavery into American plantations. Phillip Stansfield the elder , also
carries off his deserted wife and Janet's daughter , little Anna Mark. Both
children have been adopted by Humphrey Spurway , n rich English cloth-mer
chant , living on the Stansfield estate. He lovea young Phillip's mother , but
has no hope of marrying her. Notwithstanding , he goes in search of the cap
tives as soon as he discovers their fate.
After months on the pirates' isle they manage to escape from it by help of
Ebora , a negro , and his mother , an Obeah woman. They find refuge in Porto
llico and there discover the sometime Janet Mark transformed into a great lady ,
wife to the Spanish Governor-General. She befriends them after a fashion ,
but cannot save Phillip from being taken back to the pirate isle , His father
and Saul Mark , routed by other pirates , come to Porto Rico and persuade the
Governor-General to send back an expedition to secure Morgan's treasure. The
famous buccaneer has left it in boxes , stuck fast in a lake of burning pitch. No
man could bring it out of the pitch and live , lience the plan to make young
Phillip the bringer. It is frustrated by the discovery that the lake has become
a volcano. Then , the expedition plans to attack the pirate stronghold and loot
it Ebora , sent to spy , encourages the commander and leads him , full of con
fidence , to a night assault. The pirates offer no resistance ; they cannot , since they
are all hanging on trees ; but English ships and English sailors rout the expe
dition utterly. Humphrey Spurway is with the warships in a vessel of his own.
Then follow briefly the sack of San Juan , the death of Phillip Stansfield the
elder and Saul Mark , the rescue of little Anna and young Phillip's mother , the
voyage home , the recovery of the estates , and the general knitting of loose ends.
From first to last the actioii is breathless and told with all the author's fire and
force.
and Edward E. Howell arc also brought Into
the case as sureties on Dons' license to soil
liquor in his saloon at 501-3 South Eleventh
street.
Mrs. Richardson alleges that for the last
year her husband has by reason of excessive
indulgence In liquor been totally Inrn-
pacltatcd for business of any kind and that
prior to being so dragged down by drink
he earned $1,200 per year and supported his
family nicely.
It is set forth that Richardson was for
many months a frequenter ot Dons' saloon
and that for some time before he became
unable to work he squandered all of his
money for liquor , giving Dons a monopoly
ot his trade. Mrs. Richardson further says
that by reason of her husband's drinking the
family has been reduced to absolute want
and that It has been forced to accept charity.
In reply the attorneys for the defendants
have entered a general denial at all the alle
gations except that Deus conducts a saloon
at the numbers mentioned on Eleventh
street.

The petition carries with It on application
for a restraining order to prevent the de
