The scenes are laid In Wtnnes.ita. near Puluth, in that district wept by the destructive forest fires. The .author says: "See the numerous small set- . tlements and homesteads that were de stroyed If you would know the 'spirit of the range,' the Indomitable will power of the brave men and women who, In many cases lift all, yet who In twenty-four hours ' were cheering each other, and planning ew homes as they stood In ashes still warm from the fire." 'My Soldlei Lady." by Mrs. Ella Hamil ton Parley. Is one of ths Interesting books pf the season. It consists of a series of itty letters written for tha entertainment of a young missionary who has turned her back on the old Kentucky home and gone to Japan lor a term of years. Her chum ends her long, breesy, satisfying home letters, filled with all kinds of gossip about the brilliant young crowd left behind, their comings and goings, their sayings and do ings, anything, in a word, that will cheer dp the homesick and sometimes despondent jul. There are reported clever after-dinner stories, the blight sayings of the various children within the circle, the mirth-pro voking talk of the old negro servants, to say nothing of more than one love affair that unfolds as the correspondence pro gresses. The book abounds In fun and merriment. Published by the C. M. Clark Publishing company. "8t. Botolph's Town," by Mary Caroline Crawford, Is "An Account of Old Boston In Colonial Days." It Is an interesting his tory cf old Boston from the time of Black stone, the first settler, to the outbreak of the American revolution. In this new vol urns Miss Crawford pictures the brave days of old, their color, romance and charm. with that same skill and feeling for ber subject which have gained for her books on New England such merited success. Published by U C Page & Co. "Jaik Lorlmer's Holidays, or Mlllvals High in Camp," Is the third volume of the Jack Lorlmer stories by Winn Btandlsh. The first volume, "Captain Jack Lorlmer," told of Mil! vale's ups and downs' in foot ball, hockey and various indoor sports. The second volume, "Jack Lorlmer's Cham pions," was chiefly devoted to base ball, but also dealt with rowing, swimming and field and track events. In the present volume they not only go camping, but they box, wheel, motor, play Jokes, plan strangu In ventions and systematically seek for health. All boys and girl who take an Interest in school athletics will wish to read further exploits of Jack Lorlmer and his frlendB, as they stand out as fine examples of all around American high school boys and girls. L. C. Page Co. la tha publisher. "In Viking Land," Is the title of a delight ful book on "Norway: Its People, Its Fjords, and Its FJelds," by Will 8. Mon roe, author of "Turkey and the Turks." This Is easily the best book of Norway that I in print and none is more beautiful. It Is critically authentlo as to information. Is fascinating as to style, and exquisitely illustrated. Whatever else one may have read on Norway, this will give him a bet ter perspective. Published by L. C. Page Co. "The Lighted Lamp." by C. Hanford Henderson, is the story of the career of a young American of well-defined limita tions, who unexpectedly falls heir to an in come of $5,0CO. He goes abroad for his health, and the development of the story follows the amaslng development of hi faculties and sensibilities through the ex perlences of travel, through his friend ships with cultivated people, and through two successive love affairs with two types of girls. In addition to Its great psycholog leal Interest the story has the attraction always found In a narrative of mingled love and travel. Mr. Henderson's nu merous admirers will find that this new book more than fulfills the expectation with which they have looked forward to it Published by Houghton, Mifflin A Co. "Army and Navy Life" for December is a foot ball and fiction number, which will prove of Interest to the civilian as well as the man in the service.

"The grand Christmas double number" has always been the Important event of the year with the great illustrated London weeklies, and this year they have broken the record of all past performances in their editorial, artlstlo and mechanical excel lence. The Christmas number of the London Graphic is the best' the publishers have ever Issued. It has the spirit of Christmas In every page. The stories are all of the best- It Is profusely Illustrated In colors; there are twenty full pages of picture stories and humorous scenes that are very entertaining. The premium plates that go with the Qraphlc are two fine color litho graphs reproducing "Lazy Bones," by Miss Helen Hlndley, and "The Last March," by William Small. "Holly Leaves" Is the title of the Christ mas double number of the Illustrated Sport ing and Dramatlo News and stands well with the best of the illustrated weeklies. The stories are all star pieces. "A Mother for Heroes." by Eben Philpotts: "The Race for the Ohost Cup," by Ethel M. Primrose; 'The Passing of Marcus O'Brien," by Jack London, and "The Function of Scantle- bury," by Morley Roberts, constitute a quartet of literary excellence. The Illustra tions and a number of very clever story pictures by Caton Woodvllle, Fred Pegram, Frank Dadd, A. Forestler and others make up a full budget of very entertaining mat ter. The premium plate is a companion to that given last year, being a fine photo gravure of Lady Butler's well known mas terpiece, "The Remnants of an Army." The Illustrated London News, Christmas number, maintains Its high record. There are three splendid stories contributed by Max Pemberton, W. J. Locke and Mar Jorle Bowen, finely Illustrated by Cyrus Cuneo, Russell Flint and A. Forestler. The art features also Include twenty full-page pictures, among which we may mention "The Man In Possession," by Cecil Aldln; "Picking Off the Picket," by Lawson Wood, and a Utile gem bearing tha title "Queen Rose In a Rosebud Garden of Oirls." The color printing In all is ex ceptlonally.flne. The premium plata which goes with this numoer la a full-sise repro duction in photogravure of Mr, Arthur J. Elslcy's "P1ck-a-Back." The Christmas number of Pears' An nual Is devoted almost exclusively to a very interesting account of "Old Christmas," by Washington Irving, with numerous illus trations by Frank Dadd, R. I., two of them being In colors. Thure are three presenta tion plates given with this magazine, en titled, "The Old, Old Story," " A Winter's Morning," and " A Winter's Evening." The Boy Forty-Niners," by Everet Mc Neil, Is a story for boys. It is a tale of the Journey made by two lads from Ohio to California In a prairie schooner during the days when the "gold fever" was at its height. The real dangers encountered in the trip are enough to make it a story of thrilling adventure. They have more than one encounter with the Indians, and on vis iting Salt Lake barely escape being robbed of all their possession. The author de scribe Incidentally ths methods of travel on tha great rivers at that time, as well as the prairies and their Inhabitants. Muck or this can be classed as early history, al though it is a tale of adventure. Tha Clure company is the publisher. Under the title "Poems of American His tory" Burton K. Stevenson has complied the most Important and Interesting poemi relating to the klstory of America.
