Charles Seribner's Sons, New York who s his favorite The House Divided,” by H. B. Marriott Warson, is an exciting romance of the tlme of George 11, somewhat on the order of “The Prisoner of Zenda ' The hero Gerard Mallory, an Englishman who has settled in Vermont. goes back to England in order 10 take possession of an estate and title to which he believes himself the true heir. The story carries the hero througi the adventures and incidents of the strug gle which he makes to regain his patri- mony. Meanwhile he falls desperately in love and figures in the society life of Lon- don and in scenes of dueling and kidnaping in the country. The denouement is a sur- Prise to the reader as well as to the hero. Marper & Bros., New York The succerses scored by two hooks which they have put for successive seasons, with illustrations in color. namely, “Santa ©lans’ Partner'” and “The Ol4 Gentleman of the Black Stock,”” have lead Scribners to continue this artistic and most attractive method of handling good fletion for the holiday season.

L. (. Page & Co., Boston The name of Clara Morris recalls the greatest emoticnal actress of her time anl those who have sat under her spell will be fn po way surprised that she should turn 1o literature and produce original work. Throughout the pakes of. her new book, “Life on the Stage,” will be noticed indica- 1tons of a humor and gayoty which she had hut little opportunity to display in her serious dramatic efforts. Although this Is A book of the stage. it is not “stagey.” 1t is not whitened or rouged for the foot- lights. It isbut a collection of simple narratives told with a peculiar tenderness and frankness, showing the “man and woman'' side of great personages whom the pubiic vaguely knows only as unreal mem- bers of a mimic world. McClure, Phillips & Co, New York “A Lighthouse Village,” by Louis Lyndon Sibley, s a very effective picture of some features of life in a village on the seacoast of New England. The characters belong 10 the “lighthouse” section of society and a great charm of the book Is the conversa tlon between the keepers of the light houee, their neighbors, and thels wives The author has photographed their shrewd- ness, their weather-wisdom, their frank view of life and what it brings and what 1t does not bring. their good. salty humor and there is just a spice of dialect to give the whole a fine relish. It Is a book of unique interest, much lke that of Barrie's Window in Thrums." a bit of real life done with rare sympathy and insight.

Jongmans een & New York Henry Labee, in writing his sketch Grand Opera In America” has evidently placed himself in touch with the most in- teresting characters, managers and con- ductors as well as singers, who are instru mental in cultivating the public taste for opera. In the course of the 340 pages com prising his work, the author tells ue much regarding the singers who appeared in this country, Some of them were not of world wide reputation, but they played a most important part in the history of opera In Americe.

Frederick A Stokes company, New York Louisa M. Alcott’s stories are of a kind that never cease to be entertaining and never grow old. Her “Littla Women' prob- ably enjoyed greater popularity at the time of its publication than any other book that had been written for young people up to that time. “Little Men,~ which appeared subsequently, enjoyed equal popularity, neither one has ever been surpassel b later writers. A new {llustrated edition therefore of “Little Men” will be appreci- ated by people anxious to supply the chil dren of the present day with books caleu- lated to instill good, healthy sentiment in voung minds. The volume is handsomely printed and leaves nothing to be desired in the way of a perfect edition of Miss Alcott's famous story. Little, Brown & Co., Bogton. Wallace Rice has written Natural History of Wild Beasts” which must be included in the list of noteworthy juveniles. There is something about nat ural history of wild animals, especially when accompanied by pictures in colors, as in the rresent case, that appeals strongly to children. Such books must bo regarded too, as beneficial in thelr tendencies, for they serve not only to amuse, hut at the samo time to stimulate in the growing mind | of the child a desire for knowledge. Mr. Rice Fas written & book so filled with in- formation that it may be said to ‘almost exhaust the subject, and any child taking the slighest interest in the animal world will find in it @ never-ending source of sat {staction. 1t is a book that will not be out- grown in a number of years, and even adults will find it both interesting and in- structive.

The verses in the book have been hand-lettered by Fred W. Goudy. The il lustrations are in colors and many of them on colored sheets. The whole hook is got- ten up regardless of expense. Book buyers, bearing in mind that children never tire of Mother Goose rhymes, however many times they may have heard them, will not pass by lightly an edition so attractivo and highly artistie.

Mr. Mount wishes to get a favor- able pronosition of some nature from Mr Kountze beforsa he exhorts action the city couneil, and has received encouragement and a request that the matter be delayed till December 1 it possible. That explains why Mr. Hascall's ordi- nanca for the Jackson strect site was again kept back at last night's meeting of ths council. At the committee meeting of al- dermen a week ago Monda it was not brought up because of the request of Mr Zimman, who was absent. Monday Mr. Zimman was there, but Mr. Hascall was not, 0 no one proposed his ordinance. Mr. Mount has urged Mr. Haseall to de- lay the matter till the return of Mr Kountze, and the develorments thus far would make it appear that this will be | done. Ever since the market_proposition became one of real consideration Mr. Mount has had his eve and mind on the Nine- teenth street site, but has kept it quiet till now in the hope that no action of any kind would occur for a time. Mr. Hagcall's ordinance, however, looked threatening and Mr. Mount is now working openly toward the consummatlon of his pet project Opposition to Jackson Street. There was little hope, anyway, for the Jackson street ordinance passing. Mr. Zim- | man and Mr. Hoye are both opposed to it in addition to Mount, and unl there was a strong sentiment fn favor of it Mr. Karr and Mr. Whitehorn would not support it. The latter says “I want the market plenty of room. Otherwise I do not desire any change. I know that the propesed Juckson street site is not large enough. When the market s heavy now it covers both Jackson and Howard streets from Tenth to Twelfth streets. We need a very large piace.” THEY HOPE TO STRIKE OIL Eastern Sarpy County for where there will be arties 1 An agent representing eastern capital has been engaged for the last few days in ec- | curing options on land in Sarpy county for the purpose of boring for oil.
