6 BAD AS WHISKEY; SSR HLS Four Women Write Books| Unfit to Read—Mark Twain Also Speaks. That ‘Taree Weeks,” that tragical novel, is filing the foundling esylume ot the country, was the startling as- sertion made at the elghth annual din- | ner of the American Booksellers’ Aa- | sociation last night by Dr. Newell) Dwight Hillis, In urging the beokeetlers not to handle such books, “Pour women are now writing stuff that is unfit to be read and that you en should not sell,” he declared, “As for ‘Three Weeks,’ it {# filling the teand)ing asylums of the country. It ts wold on the traing as whiskey 1s sold, and fo! @ same purpose as whiskey.” ‘Dr. Hillis sald that in Boston on Tuer @ay he had seen a young girl drop 4 copy of a recently published book by accident on the train. She burst into tears of shame when her brether read the title. “That book and others like it are simply condensed slush,” said Dr. Hillis es 4 final shot at the Glynites. Mark Twain, as indispensable to @ banquet as the table cloth and garbed | in his picturesque white flannels, teld the booksellers that Huck Finn had| been barred from some libraries because Huck was a Mar. | “Goodness gracious,” satd the spright- | ly Mr, Twain, “all of us lle, At least, | I @o, and I don’t feel that I am any the worse for it.” Be also told of his adventures with Bingham's cops. Only onca, he sald, | haa he suffered any discourtesy from 4 policernan, and then he reported the man to headquarters. As he had never asked for a man's discharge Mark only requested that the policeman be trans- ferred “to the gallows or somewhere, and this was done.” ‘The veteran author started hts epeech by telling the diners that he was going | to his new farmhouse in two weeks, ang that then he meant to knock off work | for thirty or forty yeara, although he | was at work on five books at the present time.
