THE OMAHA DAILY NEW BOOKS AND MACAZINES | Nothing so Desirable or Convenient for | Holiday Gifts, l | WHAT AUTHORS OFFER FOR CNRISTMAS} - | Marion Crawford Writea a Spanish Btory—No End of New Juvenilenm Life of Henry George and Other Valu Volumes, At no other season do the shelves of the | booksellers present such innumerable a tractions during the last two months | of the year. While it is true that there are many people who buy books and read the year round, the greatest demand comes with the approach of the holidays. Books are always acceptable and hence especially well-calculated for Christmas gifts, Even people who are not very fond of reading value good books. Besides being always in €00d taste and sure to please the recip- fent, books are easily selected, thus dolag Away with the annoyance of an almost endless search after articles appropriate 8 gifts to this or that person. These and many other causes have contributed to the popularity of books for holiday &ifts acd the publishers and booksellers Bave not been slow to meet, to the fullest extent, the requirements of the public. Hence it Is that at this season the shelves of the booksellers are filled with an al- most bewildering array of volumes, cover- ing every possible subject in the whole range of human knowledge and bound in every imaginable form and tint. Every week a large number of new books are added to the array and the works of au- thors known to the public are In especial derrand. Forty thousand coples of Mr, F. Marlon Crawford's new novel, “In the Palace of tho King; a Love Story of Old Madrid,” were sold In advance of its publication on November 1. It was published simul- taneously in New York, San Francisco, To- ronto and London. Special editions also appeared at the same time in India and Australia. It is a historical romance of the time of Philip II of Spain. The plot 18 lald fn the Spanish court and the pericd | —that of the discovery of -America—was perhaps the most magnificent of the pros- perous days of Spain. Such a period has afforded Mr. Crawford an opportunity sim- flar to that which was given him by the Crusades in “Via Crucls” to place his story In the most romantic and brilllant surrounding The hero of the story is the famous Don Juan of Austria, son of the emperor, Charles V, who won back Cra- nada a second time from the Moors. The herolne, Dolores de Mendoza, is a high- spirited and beautiful woman and her story is one of Intense Interest. Those were stirring times of plot and counter- plot and high-handed interferenge with per- sonal liberty, and Mr. Cra s genius for telling a good story has had full play The Macmillan Co, New York. Price, $1.50, ““The Baclllus of Beauty” is a novel with & fresh and unhackneyed plot and treat- ment. It i like nothing else ever printed. It tells the story of a young girl from the west, who {s made the subject of an experi- ment by a professor in Barnard college, which transforms ber into the most beau- tiful woman in the world. Beauty forms a koy to the smart world and for a time the houses of the rich are as familiar to her as the studios and ““dens” of newspaper *‘girl bachelors” and art students had been. I .th phates of life are treated with the true touch that knowledge gives. Frederick A. Stokes company, New York. Price, $1.50. The picture of the water front of early San Francisco which. Mrs. Mary Hallock Foote has presented in “The Prodigal,” concluded as a three-part serial in the No vember number of the Atlantic Monthly, s interesting not ouly in itself, but as com- pared to that other plcture of San Fran- claco furnished by Robert Louls Stevenson in “The Wreckers " Mrs. Foote's story Is of an earlier day by nearly a decade. It is tho stary of a New Zealander sowing his wild oats and stranded on the coast, and of his thorough-going reformation by means of a woman's love. Houghton, Miffin & Co., Boston. Juvenile Fiction. “The Bandit Mouse and Other Tales by W. A. Frisble, with plctures by Bart, | an {lluminated story book that will be sure to please young readers. It tells a lot of tunny tales, and the artist has added to the Bumor with amusing sketches in colors. With ite striking cover this Is one of the most artistic of holiday juveniles, Rand, McNally & Co., Chicago, George Budd Grinnell has told a good story of adventure for boys in “Jack Among the Indfans.” In It he has described the ex- perfences of a manly young fellow who ac- companies an old plainsman on a vieit to a camp of the Plegan Indians. The book contalns none of the blood-curdling incdents with which so many stories for boys are crowded, but it tells simply and well of the adventures that befall the party. Those are evidently drawn from personal experience and with the tales told by the ol scout they | make very good reading. The book is well fllustrated by Edwin Willlard Deming. Frederlck A. Stokes company, New York, Price, $1.25. “Mother Wild Goose and Her Wild Beast Bhow," is the title of & new Juvenile by the well known artist-author, L. J. Bridgman. The familiar rhymes of Mother Goose have been parodicd, and animals, as subjects of tho rhymes, add to the attractiveness of the work. It is printed in colors. The hook will no doubt be among the most popular juveniles of the season. The circus and menagerie has a porfect Mother Goose grip on young understandings and the ‘“wild beast show" adds to the jingling rbymes such fancies us would make the book come to tho child’s mind with the double foree of being something ke Mother Goose and something about animals.

Plympton, the author of “'Dear Daughter Dorothy,” “A Flower of the Wilderness,” etc., has brought out'a new and attractive volume entitled, “A Child of Glee."

Little Marjorie's father is made prisoner of state and the child becomes the playmate of the little queen and has of history Is interwoven with the narrative, Little, Brown & Co., Boston. Price, $1.50 The “beast fable" goes back to the re- motest antiquity for its origin, and no more grateful indication of the growing whole- someness of children's literature could be found than the increasing number of col- lections of such stories to be noted among publishers' lists. “The Book of Saints and Friendly Beasts,” by Abbie Farwell Brown, fiils an important place in such literature, a8 it s one of the completest of such books and among the cheapest, and there- fere most accessible to the child. It tells the stories of soventeen saints who have been friends with and protected by birds and beasts, and besides entertaining chil- dren is sure to interest them sympathet- fcally with the birds and beasts about them and dependent upon them for care and kindness.

Charles Barker, one of the clerks, came running into my car shouting, ‘The car is on fire!’ My first impression was that train robbers were at work, for I had seen a tramp on the car shrtly before. 1 ran back into the car from whence he came and found It full of smoke. This smoke seemed to lssue from the bottom of a pile of Utah mail, and 1 began to shift the sacks. At the bottom, in a newspaper sack, I found the cause of the smoke. Barker ran for a fire grenade and 1 opened the sack. The heat was intense, and at the mouth of the sack it was like standing before an open grate, “Hurrledly 1 broke the grenade in the sack and then poured the contents upon the floor. The fire had originated In a small pasteboard box bearing a French postmark, I unrolled the package and found several cartridges, which had apparently exploded. From the smoking mass arose a stench which was almost unbearable. I proceeded to investigate and opened the box. I could make nothing of the package and turned It Into Chicago as unmailable matter. The letters in the sack with the package were’ scorched, but not destroyed, and the sack was uninjured.” When the matter was sent to headquar- ters Mr. Nash asked that if the nature of the package were discovered Le would like to know what it was. From Chicago, In two letters, came the fnformation that the experts of that office did not recognize the machine and that it had been sent (o Wash- tngton for further investigation. Mr. Nash does not belleve that there was any “in- fernal machine’ about the matter, but that some one had packed chemicals for ship- ment in such a manner that they ignited upon agitation. Every forelgn package of pecullar construction, however, fs regarded with suspiclon by the mail clerks of this district TWO WIVES CLAIM HIM DEAD Henry Snyder's Rom to He Told Court.

This case in- the matter the payment of certoln bonds lssued by Wash- ington county In ald of the construc- tion of the Sioux City & Pacific rallroad, which was butlt by John I. Blair early in the '70's. The bonds were peculiar in that they were not to mature until such time as a levy of 1 per cent on the taxable prop- erty of the county would extinguish the in- terest and principal of the bonds, which beur 7 per cent interest. The county commissioner: cent levy to the bondholders uutil about 1890, when they decided that the lssuing of the obligations was fllegal and refused to make another levy. The bondholders joined in a sult against the county, which was de- cided in favor of the defendant on demur- rer, as the proper parties were not joined as plaintifis. This resulted in the bringing of weparato sults by several holders, the Willlams case being the first to go to trial Upon the verdict In this case depends the fate of the others.
