He tells of his early days, his arrival In

"The Story of a Young Man," by Clifford
Howard, Is a unique title given by the
author to bis life of Christ. Its first ap
pearance In the columns of the ladles'
Home Journil met with such unqualified
approval that It has now been brought out
In a most appropriate and pleasing form.
It Is fully Illustrated and printed with
wide margin on which appears tho chapter
nnd heading In colors. "The Story of a
Young Man" Is not a life of Christ In tho
usual meaning of that term. Whllo It Is
founded .solely upon scripture records It
makes no pretense of embodying all that Is
contained In the gospels. The purpose of
the story, as Its title Indicates, Is to por
tray Jeius as the man, to view Him In tho
light ot His humanity and, while never
overlooking His divinity, to set forth His
earthly career, recording the growth, the
struggles, the achievements of a fellow be

whom raised themselves q jhelr rank In
the peerage by their distinguished profes
sional services. A portion of the material
was originally published In the. Atlantic
Monthly, but it has been thoroughly re
vised and enlarged and much new material
added. Students of naval history as well
as general readers will find this book n
source of great pleasure aa well as a vast
fund of Information. Captain Mahon has

history becomes far more thrilling than

Arthur Klson has written "A Critical

chapter headings, such as: "The Origin ot
Opora." "The Rise of Light Opera." "Mozart
and His Works." "Classical Opera,"
"Weber and Oerman Romanticism."
"French Grand Opera," "Wagner and His

volume is handsomely printed and Illus

Unqueitionably there Is something deeply
fascinating about life In the old New Eng
land towns of the eighteenth century. It
will be many years before American people
will grow tired of reading of the early
beginnings or of the IIvm of the men and

broad and deep the foundations of our re
public. To this cause, as well as to the
happy way In which It Is told, may be
ascribed the popularity of "The Saltbox

book, which was only rc-cently reviewed In

OPENING FORJOBBING FIRM
Clothing flalnmnn I'olnta Out What
' Mrrmii lo Hi Omaha' (iri-nt-t
.Need.
OMAHA, Dec. S. To the Kdltor of the
Bee; A short remark in your today' Issue
wherein you state "that Omaha does not
need a first-class hotel as much as It doe
capacious modern warehouse buildings that
will accommodate large Jobbing concerns"
calls for romment on my part as a clothing
salesman who has been coming to your city
for the last thirteen years and selling or
trying to sell clothing to your stores. In
this capacity I have In all this time found
wanting what Omaha particularly needs,
I. e., a Jobbing bouse to sell clothing to the
trade. There could not possibly be a better
opening for such a business, conducted on
the same plan as the large eastern cities,
than there Is now In your city. In the two
days that I have been here I have seen
country and rutal merchants go amongst
retailers trying to fill In such goods aa they
need for their stock at tho average retail
price, knowing that they were paying mucli
more than they should pay, and yet not get
the goods they needed.
There Is no question In my mind lint
there are vory many men in Omaha who
have plenty of money to Invest In a busi
ness that will pay well for the Investment
and yet see bolnrc them that need for the
masses of smsll merchants surrounding
Omaha which they cannot nil at present,
Yet by entering Into a business of the na
ture stated they could very readily supply
the want and make a good and substantial
gain on their investment. Is there not one
or two of Omaha's moneyed men who would
seek an Investment of this nature that
would bring them a larger profit than
Omaha real estate or some of (he Texas oil
fields, and that can subsequently result In
a permanent huslneas for ages?
I make these remarks In the capacity I
now hold as a clothing salesman of New
York and from what I have personally seen
during ray stay here, and also from tho
knowledge I possess of the slnte of affairs
as exist with those that with to buy In
small quantities near home. I cordially In
