History of David llnnniim, the Origi
nal of David Mil rum, Told In
TJook I'orm Cltlrnsn Anlhur
Wrllf of Tolntol.
The Dakcr U Taylor company hss brought
out recently threo new .books (hat are
worthy the attention of readeis. Tho vast
mount of discussion as to tho original of
Kdward Noyes Wcstcott's character, David
llarum, has led Arthur T. Vance to write
"The ncal David llarum." According to the
novel, David Itarum was a banker anil
horse-trader who lived In Homevllle, Free
land county, central New York. These
names arc so thinly disguised that pers'ona
familiar with tho people and localities of
central New York at once recognised Hie
man In tho novel as David llannum, a
tanker and horse-trader of Homer, Cortland
count7, New York. Numerous other names
of places appearing In the novel are but
lightly changed, as for examplo Iluxton
Hill for Truxton Hill, Feeble for I'reble, etc.
Tho book gives much Information regarding
the life jrjd quaint character of David Han
num and tho admirers of Mr. Wcstcott's
novel will enjoy reading It.
Another publication from tho same house
Is "Tho Salt-Box House: Eighteenth Cen
tury Life In Now England Hill Town," by
Jan Deforest Shelton. Tho scene Is laid
In that part of tho old town of Stratford,
Conn., which was formerly called Itlpton,
now Huntington. The book shows tho man
ner of life anion persons of tho better class
In the country districts. The author has
excluded tho well-worn records of spinning
beos, husklngs, opple-parlngs, etc., but has
shown many less known phases and ntimer
oua odd Customs of country life at that
period, presenting a graphic and realistic
plcturo of eighteenth century life. Tho
habits and manners of tho day aro given
with great accuracy and so Imbued with
personality and permeated by tbs atmo
sphere of the period that tho reader seems
almost to bo a member of tho household.
Another volume from tho Ilaker & Tay
lor Co. is "Making a Life," by Cort
land Myers. Tho author speaks vigorously
and helpfully, not only to young people who
havo the world beforo them, but to all who
would conscientiously, by purposeful dlroc
tlon, roako their lives worth the living. The
author's style is animated and picturesque
nnd abounds in froquent Illustrations which
entertainingly and with aptness forcibly Im
press his cheering and uplifting thought.
He treats his theme under Life's Ideal, Pur
pose, Progress, Mystery, Influence, Waste,
Law, Pain, Environment, Memory, Con
clones and Destiny.
Induce her to make a Journey all the way
to Russia to meet the man. She tells the
story of the visit at Tolstoi's home in a
small volume, which also Includes "Tolstoi,
the New Bplrlt," by H. Havelock Ellis. No
admirer of the great Ilusslan should fall
to read this little volume, which bears on
Its cover the single word "Tolstoi." It gives
In very few words a better Idea of the man

"Viola Oelrlch: The Famous Uaby-Scholar;
an Illustrated Biography," Is a little vol
ume of eighty pages by Prof. Henry Oelrlch.
It tolls the story of a little S-year-old Des
Moines girl, adopted and educated by Prof.
Oelrlch, who at the present tlmo Is a resi
dent of Council Muffs. Without doubt she
Is one of the most marvelous children that
ever lived, hng able to read English, Ger
man and French, besides being proficient In
numbers, botany to the extent of analyzing
a flower and telling the names of thirty-two
kinds of needs, etc. She can name all the
flags of tho different countries, knows all
abouL punctuation marks, can locate and
namo tho states nnd territories of the United
States, besides the oceans, lakes, mountains,
rivers, etc. Sho can read almost anv geo
graphical name given In Frye's Primary nnd
Complete Geographies and can find almost
any prominent geographical name and place
In a few seconds If the closed book Is given
to her for that purpose. At the ago of 1 year
and 10 months Viola knew the portraits of
nioro than 100 famous men and women. She
is vary proficient on the typewriter (tho
book contains a splendid advertisement for
her favorite machine) and ecu do man)' other
wonderful things which cannot bo men
tioned for want of space. It Is needless to
add that this poor littlo girl, whose days
are spent in study when other babies are
at play, and whose later llfo and happiness
aro In danger of being wrecked by over
training, Is being used for exhibition pur
poses. It will strlko tho average reader as
strange that somo of the prominent edu
cators, paBtors or Ladles' Aid society women
who testify to Viola's accomplishments in
tho last chapter of tho volume have not put

"Oober: A Tale of Harun the Khollf," by
Kate A. Benton, deals with the later part
of tho reign of Harun and tells the story of
the fall of the great Barmek family. Cleber,
after whom tho novel is named, and of
whose great skill as a physician we have
only a fragmentary knowledge, of course
plays a prominent part, but the story Is not
so much the record of one man as It Is a
gorgeous and splendid history of a court that
was marked by a magnificence and splendor
not surpassed by the pomp of the greatest
monarchs tho world has known. No more
fascinating period of history could have been
chosen by Mrs. Benton than tho tlmo of
Harun', nor one about which 10 little Is

evidently Induced publishers to search still
further Into tho realm of Magyar literature
for matter suited to the taBtes of English
readers. The result 1b a translation of "St.

The author Is, after Jokal, tho most popular
of all the Magyar novelists, a popularity
which Is cortatnly most deserving if the
volume nt hand Is to be .taken as a basis
from which to form Judgment. "St. Peter's

tho majority of readers will enjoy, If for no
other reason than because It Is so different,

duties of the girls, singularly enough, throw
them Into the society of more or less eligible
young men, and apparently there Is no

The editor of the fusion Saline county
Independent, in an attempt to palliate the
atrocities of tho Filipino Insurgents upon
American prisoners captured by them,
prints what purports to bo an Incident of
tho engagement between the First Ne
braska volunteers and tho Insurgent forces
at San Francisco del Monte March 23, 1899,
In which he mokes the Nebraska volunteers
appear In the light of murderers and cut
throats. An extract from tho article
says:

When the Saline county paper reachou
Omaha Cadet Taylor, father of Captain
Taylor, was Justly Indignant. Jn speaking
of the matter he said:
The motlvo for this attack on my noil,
Captain W. C. Taylor, is. of course, puroly
political. It is none the less dastardly, and
any man who would attompt to win a po
litical victory by an attack on the reputa

much attention. In order that there may
bo :io misunderstanding, please say for mo
that any man who says that Captain J ay

who wanted to surrender, or In any niann'r
mistreated a prisoner, 's a mlserahlo cow

bo glad to meet him and say so person

March 25, 1S99, was one of the most fiercely
