California snd along th. transcontinental
trail the mining world has completely
changed. New characters and new condi
tions hav". arisen, but no writers strong
enough , to present them adequately. This
novel of Mr. Nsson's is the first worthy
presentstlon of the Ufa In the mining camps
as It IS todsy. It Is a thrilling story of
a mine superintendent's fight against his
rebellious employes, reaching Its climax In
a splended scan, of strlks and riot, where
th. Infuriated miners sttempt to blow up
ths mine. A graceful love story ' Inter

flocks of sheep snd csttle thst bad in

th. beginning of another era when people
from sll nations thronged to tbs land of
gold. This ers lssted only four years. It
was succeeded by the ers ot large wheat
fields snd fruit orchards. The building of
the trans-continental roads opened still

Th. suthor considers tb. situation on tbs

"Msrjorie," by Justin Huntley McCarthy,
Is published by R. H. Russell, who also
brought out "If I Were King," by the samo
author. Mr. McCarthy has nhn wn arret ra.
psclty for writing Interesting romance, for
be never allows his seal in behalf of any
character or situation to lead him beyond
the pale of probability, but instead makes
all most distinctly human and natural.
"Marjorie," deals with a couple of young
men snd ss many young women, who lived
In an English seaport town part of their
lives, snd who had many adventures abroad
snd on the deep blue In the days when the
"Jolly Roger" still flew from many a fore
peak and the genial custom of walking the
plank had not fallen into desuetude. But
the pirates are only incidental; the tsle is
a tragsdy of love, and one which we will
doubtless bear of being made over Into a
play.
"Ths Boy Land Boomer" by Ralph Bone
hlll relates ths sdveutures of a lad, Dick
Arbuckles, who with his father join, a
number of daring men In an attempt to
occupy the rich farming lands of Oklahoma
before th. time when that section of our
country was thrown open to settlement
under the homestead act. The story tells
of the difficulties they meet, how Dick is
captured by "Yellow Elk," an Indian, who
puts him In s deserted cabin where he
meets Nellie Wiothrope, who is slso a
prisoner there. The two escape together
and the story closes with a pretty love
story. Published by The Saalfleld Publish

"A Puritan Knight Errant," by Edith
Robinson and published by L. C. Page A
Co., ts a tals of -the times when Bostou
wss indeed a cow pasture, and the scenes
srs laid In snd around what la now that
city. It la especially pleasing fdr Juvenile
readers. The Don Quixote of the story, ot
whom It was said: "Ills looks might not
savs him from the gallows did h. get bis
deserts, for h. hath tb. reputation of being
the most Idle, mischievous boy In town,
whom a sound Bogging would mightily ben

French women to provide themselves with
wigs In keeping with their rapidly aging
faces. Their wigs were brown and on
account of poverty they were unable to
purchase others. Their humiliation at tho f
disparity between their young wigs and
old faces Is pitiful. Finally they decided
upon a plan ot financiering by which, In
time, each was to be furnished with the cov
eted gray wig. Their fortunes were to be
combined, therefore there could be but
one bought st a time, so they derided to
csst lots to determine who should have
th. first one. The magnanimous spirit the
loser displayed Is touching and a lesson In
unselfishness could well be emulated. The
other stories sre "ChasseCrolse," "The
Woman Beater," "The Eternal Feminine,"
"The Silent Sisters," "Ths Big Bow Mys
tery," "Merely Msry Ann" snd "The Serio
Comlo Governess." Each of the stories de
picts with wonderful sccursry the frsll
ltles and varying natures of humanity, es
pecially of femininity.
"Discords," by Anna Alice Chapln, Is a
collection of short stories, csch effectually
Illustrating the title. The stories ere
drawn from a not Improbable or Impossible
side of life, and from a noble side. In that
the principal characters seemingly strive to
make smends, for their own special "dis
cords." One. of them, "The White Gar
den," is a story of a woman who heart
lessly trifled with the affections of a man,
afterward be was stricken with blindness;
she come to him and fn a aweet, simple way
devoted the remainder of her life to his
tare. Printed by the Pelhara Press.

who was a commissioner from Oregon to
the Pan-American exposition, organised an
association of women under the name of
the Lewis snd Clark club, with the same

offered to "co-operate" with It, but evi
