“We have had many novels of late with new economic schemes for a basis,
but mostly advertising state socialism. At last we have the
individualistic novel, and it ought to win widespread favor. Mr. Cowdrey
has strong conviction, a good command of English and strong
imagination.”—_St. Louis Republic._
=An Indiana Man.=
By LE ROY ARMSTRONG. 12mo, 218 pages. Paper, 25 cents.
“A powerful novel, charmingly written. So true to the real life of
modern politics as to seem more like history and biography than
romance.”—_Inter Ocean._
“It bears the same relation to the fight against the saloon that ‘Uncle
Tom’s Cabin’ did to the fight against slavery.”—JOHN P. ST. JOHN.

By ARNOLD CLARK. Large 12mo, 361 pages. Cloth extra, gilt top, stamped
in black and silver, $1.25. Paper, 50c.
“An attractive novel, in which the best thoughts on economic reform are
entwined with fiction, making a book that will captivate and please the
reader, yet turn his thoughts to the great needs of humanity.”—_Arena._

woman.”—_Progressive Farmer._

“As an example of the highest literary form it deserves unstinted
praise.”—CARDINAL GIBBONS.
“A very extraordinary production.”—RT. REV. HENRY C. POTTER.

is forceful, and the great uprising is given with terrible
vividness.”—_Public Opinion._

THE HUMOROUS HIT OF THE AGE.
“Fifty years ago this book would have been viewed with alarm by the
pious community. A century ago its author would have been ostracised for
profanity: two centuries ago he would have been imprisoned as a heretic,
and when Columbus lived he would have been burned at the stake for his
risible attack on the old belief.”—_Kansas City Star._

An American Historical Novel. By ELIZABETH HOLBROOK. Large 12mo,
cloth, gilt top, $1.50. Paper, 25 cents.

Alleghenies. There is a pleasant quaintness in the style of this novel,
which is interesting as a story and as a record, and the local
illustrations are important.”—_Review of Reviews._

Stories of God’s Own Country. By ROSWELL MARTIN FIELD. 12mo, cloth,
