publishers have kindly sent
a new book entitled "Woii

poker until be finally raked lu a pot,
is the title might lead one to believe,
bat be spent fifteen years taRging a
gtri around and renewing his offers

finally wore ber out and won her. The
nora I seems to be to stick to the trail
when you get after a woman.
Bstsie Wharton's Heart"
After glancing through "Bessie
Wharton's Heart" we laid the book
ektwn with a algh. Her beart proves
to he tike any other girl's heart. Uer
father, who runs a country store, is tn

debt to a New York merchant In the
com of $1602L His creditor presses
aim, and be sees bankruptcy staring
. him in the back of the neck. Along
comes a French count, who to In this
country in hopes to find out why the
Long Island potato beats the Connecti
cut tuber all boiler, and he sees Bessie
and offers to pay ber father's debts if
she will become the Countess D'Char-ay.-
If the way oat her dad is
looking for, but she creeps out of bed
at midnight, walks three miles in her
bare feet and precipitates herself into
the arms of William Ox, a farmer's
hired man, and asks him to save ber.
Ee harnesses the old horse and drives
to the nearest justice, and the thing is
done. Bessie Wharton's heart doesn't
tank a tunk faster next day when she
learns that her father is dead of a
broken beart and that ber mother b.is
been taken to a maniac asylum on a
hand sled.
A person in despondent mood and
looking for something to cheer him up
can And it in a little volume entitled
"The Catacombs of Paris." There is
a mingling of skolls and jokes that is
really restful. The fun of the whole
thing Is that none of the skeletons
know who they were, but Smith may
be Jones, and Jones may be Brown.
We have for the moment forgotten the
same of the author, but be is deserv
fcg of thanks just the same. He
might haTe called it a book of solemn
thoughts and thus deceived the public.
We predict popularity for a work en
titled "Hannah's Lover." Hannah is
the daughter of the president of the
cabbage trust; and Moses, the lover, Is
ne of her father's cabbage raisers.
The couple fall la love, and notwith
standing the efforts of the old man
Hoses escapes assassination, state prls
s and three or four other thing3 and
comes out all O. K. and U forgiven in
the usual fashion after saving the fa
ther from an avalanche in the Alps.
One ought to begin the book just after
eating a hearty boiled dinner.
The lover of the wild and weird and
mysterious will read every line of the
book entitled "An Interview With a
Smoked Ham." We did not lay the
book down after starting it until we
bad reached the last word, and the
taste- of smoked ham still lingers in
or mouth. If you wish to know the
Joys and sorrows of being an unappre
ciated ham don't miss this book. You
wQl feel just as we did on reaching
the end resolved to treat the bam bet
ter in future.
We are sorry to say that we could
not interest ourself in "The Twin
Brothers." They simply courted the
aame girl for several years and kept
the poor thing wondering which was
which, and, though she finally marries
ne, she will have a sneaking idea to
the day of ber death that she ought to
lave married the other. It's down
rfeht mean to lather a poor girl in
that way, and we shall simply say
that the covers of the book seem to be
vorth about 30 cents.
"Why He Lost Her"
"Why Ho Lost Her" is the title of a
book that any Indy can pick up after
tfoing up the dinner dlxhes and read
lor an hour with more or less interest.
The story opens In a Pittsburg black
smith shop, and the reader is taken to
Paris and Berlin and brought back
home and trotted through an under
taker's shop and n elder mill bvfore
he sirl In the vase nuke up her mind
;hit site rmiuot niiirry a man who
wipes off his chltt m the- tablecloth.
The host part f the book Is whore h
hans-s himself on being told that he Is
In the soup. We really enjoyed his
hist struggles.
"A the Wind Bloweth" has been
laid on our table by the publishers.
The title is by uo moans a misnomer,
as the hero of the story Is a windmill
man. In putting up bis mills around
the country he stops at the bouse of a
certain farmer and falls In lore with
his wife. They elope together. The
abandoned busbaud dies of a broken
beart, while the elopers are pushing
the windmill business In Germany
and, hearing of It b,r wireless, the'
faithless wife works her way back
borne as a fireman on a tramp steamer
and rushes to the old farm to weep
over the lonely grave. As this seems
to do no particular good. It being a
dry summer, she stabs herself with a
pitchfork and expires, asking to be
laid beside the man she deceived.
That's about atl the wind there Is In
the story, but perhaps it will make
wives better to read It two or three
times.
While th book entitled "Her Cava
Her" will send no thrills up the back
of the reader. It is nevertheless a vol
ume that one can pick up and lay
down again at any old time. The
daughter of a country clergyman has
her ideals, and one day when a wire
fence man comes along she takes him
for a cavalier and falls in love with
him. They run away to the next vil
lage and are married by a justice of
the peace. Fifteen minutes later the
mask falls from the villain's face. He
demands his voting wife's fortune, and
when she tells him that she hasn't
enough plunks to buy a stick of gum
be calls ber a liar and slaps ber rose
bad mouth. From thence on until she
die of a broken heart, three months
later, be pulls her balr. beats ber with
sled stakes and throws bottles of
Tltrto! at her to make her hustle. The
book was written to make the world
better, and if it does not succeed we
shall positively refuse to take the
blame.
"Conomara Castle" is a book weigh
ing fifteen ounces. The castle, as usu
al, to on a hill. Aa usual, the owner
to poor. As usual, again, pressure to
brought to bear on the eldest son to
marry riches and keep the rest of the
family in champagne and fried oys
ters. He has bis own plana, however,
and be goes off and marries the daugh
ter of a goat herd and leaves father,
mother, brother and sister to commit
suicide rather than borrow tea and
coffee of their neighbors. There are
streaks of sadness In the book, and any
man with a mortgage on his house and
lot bad better fight shy of It
"Will She Accept Him?" to a book
not worth the opening. If he's got the
dough, of course she will, no matter If
he's a hundred yfars old and built on
the order of a camel. What's the use
of wading through 350 pages to find
oat what you already know? j
"Won by Waiting" to the title of a
book that ought to be laid up on the
shelf beside an oid clock with no tick
to it. John Schermerhorn, a young
man learning the cooper's trade, falls
tn love with the only daughter of
railroad president and offers her bis
heart and hand. She rejects him with
scorn, nt he is bound to win her if It
takes a hundred years. As a matter
of fact, It does take forty-two, during
which Interval each baa been married
three times, but the glorious day
dawns at last, and she is hls'n. They
marry, and they expire In each other's
arms, and the reader wipes the tears
from his eyes and feels that It Is use
less to longer contend against the beef
trust M. QUAD.
More Economical.
"When I bought that house it wasn't
fit for a dog to live In. It has cost me
