While there la no Kcceatlonal expose of the making of a congrensinan, yet It" tells of the ways and the means by which a campaign Is carried on among the voters and at the polls, and of how the candidate managers operate.

( GYT7 mn I tlon and excellent taste that govern her writings elsewhere Is exhibited in this thor ougbly modern story. Gertrude Is a most engaging young person who ha everything against her, but manages to come out very well in spite of It, She la a proud, claver girl, with a remarkable talent for the violin and an exceptional endowment of good looks. Three men fall In love with hor the young Scotch doctor, the philanthropic Robert Alrd, and finally Holmes, who Is Just the sort of man that a spirited girl like Gertrude would care for. As for Jack "he never ceases wondering at hla happi ness, which aeema only to grow deeper and serencr as the years roll by," believing "the greatest thing In the world" Is to make a happy home. Besides the love story the book Is interesting on account of Its description of city life. It Is published by A. 0. McClurg Co. "Dlood Will Tell," by Benj. Rush Daven port, la certainly, as the Inscription on the corner states, "a strange story of a son of Ham." The dedication note by the author reads: "To all Americana who deem purity of rare an all-important element In tha progress of our beloved country." But with all its strangeness, the story Is very Inter esting. Lucy Dunlop, daughter of a very old and wealthy firm of shippers and bank ers, marries the manager of the firm, Wal ter Burton. Juat prior to the marriage Lucy's uncle discovers that Walter, though his looks do not show It In the leaat, has some negro blood in him. This does not, however, prevent the marriage, aa hla looks, education and business ability, together with his polished manners and power to en tertaln, give him a place In the highest so ciety in Boston. He haa a dwelling and property that was his home before his mar rlage, where he shuts himself up In gloomy, despondent spells ever an evil spirit that almost seems to conquer him at times. The truth Is kept from Lucy, but when discov (red by the negro offspring, together with her uncle's death, she goes insane. Walter's end ia tragical.' The Dunlop name, which had stood as a firm for agea and seemed al most lost. Is kept up by their nephew, Jack who atauda prominent throughout the story as a good-aouled and whole-hearted aallor boy. Published by Caxton Book Company, Thomaa Y. Crowell 4 Co. are out with a new story of the first empire, by Eleanor C. Price, entitled "Angelot," In It tha els meats of love-making and adventure are blended about light to make an entertain ing novel. A general, risen from tha peo ple, wishes te wed the daughter of an old aristocratic family and aeeks to enforce bis wishes through a decree of the emperor. But be meets with a continual stumbling block in the person of the young Angelot who desires ths maiden also for himself. This claah of militarism with sentiment Is the motif of the book. The result la Drignt, wholesome story, well worth the reading, and one which leavea the reader with a good idea of a very critical period In French history. It ia not a historical novel, nor simply a study of character, but partakes more of the nature of a romance. "A Roman Mystery" la tha title of a new novel by Richard Bagot, author of "Casting of Nets" and "Ths Just and Unjust." The Literary World has tha following to say of the book: A well-written novel. The au thor writes of those Intrigues at Rome be tween the 'Bianchl' and the 'Nerl' that have already supplied material to auch writers as Marlon Crawford and Zola, and he yet managea to preaent tha questions involved freshly and fairly.

Gowan, president of the Choc taw, said tonight that he was not In a position to talk In detail on the aubject. He said the transfer would mean a revolu tion in the management of the road, but In what way he could not say.

This belief is strengthened by the fact that the board of directors of the Rock Island road la about to issue $15,000,000 in new capital stock.
