IT'HE OMAHA DAILY BEE SUNDAY, DECEMBER 14, 1800—THIRTY-TWO ‘I’AGES WITH BOOKS AND PUBLISHERS. In the Flood of Fall Literature Fiction Keeps Far in the Lead. HINTS FOR THE HOLIDAY BOOK BUYERS. The Bound Volumes of The Century and St Nicholas—Another Tolstol Novel and Other Recent Fictio The usual fall flood of books is pouring from the press of the publishers in a per foot torrent these days. It comes in all sorts of seductive bindings and covers a wide range of subjects, As usual, fiction is far in the lead, the American publishers having learned, apparently, that at least ono hun- dred readers want to be entertained where one desires to-be instructed. It would be dificult to mention two hand- somer books than the bound volumes of the “Century Magazne” and *St. Nicholas,” and it would be impossible to mention books that contain more profuse and beautiful Nustrations, or a wider range of literature, both solid and entertaining. Indeed, the thought occurs, on turning these attractive pages, that it s only in the bound form that the reager really sppreciates what our authors, artists and publishers have accom- plished under the guidance of the talented editors of the great magazines of this age. And it also strikes the reader that tho magazines in this substantial form are worth much more than in the more popular instalments, The difference between sdical and the book is the difference of theephemeral and the permanent—between the magazine in which one scans the pictures and then tosses aside, half-read, and the sub- stantial book, which passes from the library tableto the shelves, and there remains, & thing of beauty and o joy forever, The bound volumes present_the further advantage of enabling the reader to go through the serials from beginning to end without interruption, and of doing the same with series of papers on travels, social topics and the like, Viewed from any standpoint, a magazine liko 'he Century” is a delightful possession when it. comes in this shape, and the unique beauty of the binding greatly enhances it The present volume covers the balf year from May to October, 18%). Among itsnwr- are ial features are the novels by Amelia F d Mrs, Burton Harrison, respocti F'riend Olivia” and *“The Anglomani; Other continued papers are Joseph Jeffer- son’s autobiography,” Amelia Gere Mason's “Women of the French Salons,” Jules La Farge's “Artist's Letters From Gapan’’ and W. J, Stillman’s “Italian Old Masters,” Among the large number of short stories are several by Sarab Orne Jewett, John Kl- liott Carran, R. M. Johnston, Octave Thanet and others, ' fheroare poems by T, B, Ald- rich, R. H. Stodaard, Walt Whitman and many lesser lights, and a number of enter- taining biographical papers. The volume is especiaily rich in practical papers on scien- tific and social topics. l'aken altogether, the bound volume of The Century isa liberal education, St. Nicnolas for 1800 is bound in two at- tactive volumes and would make a delight- ful holiday gift for boys or girls. It is crowd- ed with good things by the best authors of juvenile literature and includes serials, short stories, poems- biographi tales, articles on out, door sports and featires designed for instruo- tion and entertainment. What a sweet, pure boyhood and manhood must thut fortunute mortal have who gradustes from from Nicholas into The Centuryand hves any ‘where near up to their h tandards ! Both of these volumes are from the Century com- pany, New York. p Another of Tolstoi’s odd books—how rap- 1dly they have dropped from the press since he became the fashion—is “Work While Ye Have the Light” It is a stady of the lifoe of a young man who lived 100 years after Christ and who turned away from ‘christianity in order to find happiness in the sordid pleasures and ambitions of the world. The end of it all was the inevitable domestic nfelicity which always accompanies the Tolstol novel, bitter- ness, disappointment, and then final’ happi- ness iu the ehristian vine-yard where all men awork and live for one another, The book is another presentation of the author's theory of the swe s8 of labor, mixed with a Bel- lamy tinge of social brothe: d, It is as @ood u religious tract as Dbeen scen 1n many a day.

The presiding justice was an Eng- lishman, one associate a Christian, the other a Mussulman, the secretary an Anglcized Frenchman, The interpretér was an Armen- can. The Christian complainant accused the “Turkish prisoner of having stolen his goat, or kudella, as the Cyprians say. In laying the complaint betore the court the Armenian in- terpreter confused Kudella with Kopella and thus gave the idea that the case concerned the abduction of a young girl, “I have had her for three years and got her originally from Hadshi Dimitri, explained the complainant. The presiding justice at once put in Eng- lish the vital question of most 8)'priln dis- putes: “Was any effort made to change the relig- ion of the victim?" . “*Whose religion?"’ asked the Christian, in astonishment. *‘Kudellas have no religion,” The question, however, got_lost on 1ts way tothe justice through the interpreter, and the case w 3 The prisoncr’s lawyer, & Fronchman, in- quired of a witness: “In whose possession was she originally " The Armenian interpreter translated : “Who were her parents " Witness—Judging by her physiognomy, 1 should say she came from the place of Had- shi Dimitrei. Interpreter—Her father is Hadshi Dimitri. Presiding Justice—Let. tho young creature be brought into the court room aand I will jndge for myself. The Turkish prisoner objected that the "8‘\!un|,' creature’ couid mot climb the steps of the court house. The presiding justico robuked this apparent subterfuge and sent out two court officers to carry herup the stops, if necessary. In @ few minutes there was a clatter of small hoofs in the corridor, and the doors opened to admit e little black and white goat, which at once unraveled the all but inextricable mystery of Kudella and Kopella, Bad Sunday School Boys.
