Some Books That Are Not New. ;
Beth Norvell, a story of western
mining life, love and Intrigue; a trifle
overdrawn, but full of action, and with
some strong chapters. Winston, the
hero, is a square man, who refused
to eb bought, and his lady love, whose
name gives title to the book. Is also
honest, almost to an excessive degree,
one Is apt to feel. Little Mercedes
loves the big Brown, but does not flrk"
her heart until It Is too late. Altogether
a good story, but not extraordinarily
so. Randall Parrlsh, author of "When
Wiiilernes was King,' 'ily Lady of the
North, 'Bob Hampton of Plaecr,' and
other western stories, Is the writer. J
His Own People, by Booth Tarklnf
ton.l s a splendid, portrayal of the
waxing and waning of a young Ameri
can's passion for the gay life of Parts.
In the beginning of the story the hero
is feeling mighty good toward fortune
for at last permitting him to mingle
with "his own people," as one of
them the demi-monde. At the house
of his princess later he Is robbed Of
all his little store, 16000; then he be
gins to think longingly of little Mary
Cramer, back home, the home that a
few short days before he had thought
pityingly of. It's a good book, for the
young American to read. It Is not
preachy not at all but one's Interest
in the fortunes of our hero is apt to
make one not sorry when he comes to
see things as they are, and to put the
true value upon home folks, and to re
member Mary's trembling Up when he
condescended to bid her good bye on
the eve of his entrance into the life of
"his own people."
Those who read and loved "Emmy
Lou," will not fall to appreciate "Le-
tltla, Nursery Corps, TJ. 8. A," The
books are by the same author, George
Madden Martin, and the trials and
triumphs of Letltia are quite as Inter
esting as those of the lovable Emmy
Lou. This Is a book for busy mothers
and occupied fathers to read. By ex
perience the little girl deduces that
'Non-com mammas have unlimited
time," while "a real mamma, on the
contrary. Is the busiest lady in the
world."
