It is termed by the au- thors a “popular gulde to the mammals ot North America north of Mexico, with inti- mate blographies of the more familiar species.” The illustrations are of a re- markable character. The several colored plates are reproduced from the paintings of A. Radelyfte Dugmore and the black and white plctures, of which there are many, are the result of successful and extraordi- nary experiments with the camera op- erated by Mr. Dugmore. The porcupine, the 'possum, the polar bear, the deer, the moose, the gopher, the squirrel, the fox and their friends and enemles are taken in thelr most undress and natural mo- ments.

His stories of colonlal days have been espe- clally successful, and his latest book, “Un- der Colonial Colors,” published by Hough- ton, Mifin & Co., a tale of war, adven- ture and friendship, is in his best vein. A more Lerolc enterprise could hardly be found than he has chosen—Arnold’'s expe- dition to Quebec. No sportsman or canoe- st passes over the course of that famous march through the Maine woods without a thrill of admiration for the men who blazed the trail in their daring attack on Canada, The story of the expedition and the assault on Quebec told with much spirit and with such mastery of historical detall that it carries the reader along com- pletely convinced.

Published by Harper & Brothers. ““The Smoke and the Flame” is a study in the development of religion by Charlea F. Dole. The suggestive title of this book originates in the authar's happy illustra- tion of the undeveloped religious ideas of the early ages of the Christian era as the green fuel which gave rige to the dense theologieal smoke that preceded the purer flame of higher and truer spiritual ideals resulting from the gradually dawning mod- ern conception of God and nature and man. The process and progress of this growth In religlous life and thought are traced step by step in a thoroughly entertaining and richly instructive account of the slow ehange of centuries from the old religion to the new.

Zwerner, himselt a missionary to the Moslems, is most appropriately the blog- rapher of of the man who first carried the | gospel to the Saracens—Raymund Lull, the “Moody of the Middle Ages.” Raymund Lull was of all great men of the middle ages the most versatile in character and strenuous in endeavor. His achievements in any single line of activity would of themselves make a considerable volume. | He was poet, novellst, scientist, philos pher, theologian, evangelist in Christian lands and missionary to the heathen. One of Lull's blographers states that the works of Lull numbered 4,000. Many of these bave been lost. Of his writings in Latin, Cat: lonian and Arabic it is sald that 1,000 were extant In the fifteenth century. Less than fifty are extant today in printed form, the | many unpublished manuscripts are to be | found scattered through the librartes of Europe. The present biography contains a bibliography of 321 titles of Lull's books, twenty-one titles of books about Luil. Frederick Remington's new book, ‘‘John Ermine of the Yellowstone,” published by Macmillan company, I8 the story of a white boy who (s brought up ameng the Indians and kept in ignorance of the ways and lan- guage of the whites until he falls in with an old humpbacked hermit, who teaches him to shoot mountain lions and to speak Eng- lish.

She became engaged to an officer and when the latter demands a photograph which John has car- ried in his bosom. the white Indian shoots his rival in the arm, escapes into the desert and is afterward shot through the heart by an Indian scout. The story is slight, but is told with knoweldge and sympathy and the accompanying pictures by the author are Interestin “Wild Roses of Callfornia,” by Grace Hibbard, is a small book of nature poems— songs to bird and flower compose the bulk | of the book, though there are poems of love and sentiment to lend variety. The book has a dainty white cover decked with rose- buds. Publishéed by A. M. Robertson, San Francisco. “Bikey The Skicycle, and Other Tales of Jimmieboy,” is the latest boys' book from the pen of John Kendrick Bangs. Jim- mieboy travels to Saturn on his new bicycle and rides clear around the planet on the largest of the rings, which turns out to be a very wide road, smooth as glass and made of beaten gold. Many adventures have Jim- fe and his bicycle among the strange people they meet, and the whole adventure comes to an end when Jimmie falls out of bed. “The Imp of the Telephone” is a very small person who lives in the little square box, with the small keyhole in it. He shows Jimmie many things he never saw before, but of which he has heard and often won- dered. Then Jimmie has some surprising | experiences while riding on his magic sled, and again while he sojourns in *“Toytown," Published by Riggs Publishing company. “This Is For You" is a collection of love poems of the saner sort, by Willlam Sinclair Lord, chosen from the writings of many of our best poets. The poems are free of all maudlin sentimentality. One Christmas morning the 4-year-old daughter of a book- man greeted him at the foot of the stairs with a happy smile, & small package and, “Father, this s for you." Turning to a table laden with gifts, Bret wife, then | brother, then othérs, each made their gift, | accompanied by a dainty, “This is for you.” It occurred to this bookish man there was going abegging one of the best titles for a | universal gift book that had as yet re- | mained unused. With this speech there | went' always a token of affection, and so | a book bearing such a title must breathe a | message of love. Published by Fleming H. Revell.

Injury case of Vincent Wreninskei, where suit was drought for 35,000 and judgment rendered for $1,500, the court affirms the verdict. of $1500 was given, a rehearing of the arguments has been granted by the supreme court. This case was taken to the supreme court on an appeal and a hearing held. W. C. Lambert, at the time city attorney, asked for a rehearing and this has been granted. The Ed Hager case was reversed, the su. preme court holding that Hager had no clalm agalnst the city. There was consid- erable talk about this trial at the time it came up a year or so ago. Hager claimed to be a drayman and alleged that he had been injured while driving along a certain road. Lambert went after Hager, and by means of photographs and a special detect- ive learned that Hager had been injured in Council Bluffs. This was proven to some extent, but the jury awarded Hager a ver- dict of §1,000. An appeal was taken by the city and the result is that the supreme court has returned an adverse opinion. Since the city legal department decided | to appeal all personal damage suits to the supreme court instead of making settle- mente fewer suits have been filed and less cases have been appealed. The decisions mentioned were turned over to the city clerk yesterday. It is understood that in the future all damage cases will be ap- pealed to the supreme court. Attempted Suicide.

When Shook started for the beer faucet Lake, who is only 21 years of age, reached over the bar and picked up a re- volver. He fired one shot wild and the next shot made the wound described. Powder marks on the clothing show that when the second shot was fired the revolver ‘was held close to the body. As woon as possible young Lake was taken to his room in the Rowley block, Twenty-sixth and N streets. Drs. Sapp and White were called. They gave tem- porary relief and then proceeded to cut out the ball. The doctors were of the opinion that the wound was not fatal unless com- Lake was employed at Armour's.
