DON COSME.
By T. H. TYNDALE. The author here introduces us to a wealthy
Southern family. The favorite daughter loves an alleged
Mexican, Don Cosme, who is proven to have colored blood in his
veins. The scene of the girl spurning him at the altar is very
impressive and dramatic. It is an unsavory incident, but one
fraught with significance. There is unlimited food for thought
throughout the book, which should especially appeal to
Southerners. The essential idea of the work is treated with
great force and fulness. Cloth bound. 1.25
JACK CREWS.
By MARTHA FRYE BOGGS. A brilliant new novel, dedicated to the
railroad engineers of America, one of whom is the hero of the
story. The plot is well sustained, the hero an impressive
character. The book is full of action, it is dramatic and will
hold the reader’s attention to the end. Cloth bound. 1.50
THE FUNNY SIDE OF POLITICS.
By GEORGE S. HILTON. Nothing has ever been written like this
book. It gives many amusing stories told in the House and
Senate in Washington. The book is replete with anecdotes of
many living politicians. Their names are given, as well as the
occasion which called forth the stories. Third edition. Cloth
bound. 1.25
THE SLAVE OF THE LAMP.
By HENRY SETON MERRIMAN. Author of “The Sowers,” “Young Mistley,”
“Dross,” etc. There is a ring and thrill to this story due in
part to its unusual theme. It is written with all the
characteristic power of the author, and will meet a tremendous
sale. Illustrated and Cloth bound, gilt top. 1.50
THE SACRIFICE OF SILENCE.
By EDOUARD ROD. Translated by JOHN W. HARDING. M. Rod shows, with
consummate art and in two widely contrasting examples, that
silence under certain conditions constitutes a heroic
sacrifice, so generous in its abnegation, and in one case, in
which the unblemished reputation of a wife and mother is
involved, so unflinchingly steadfast, as to impart a character
of nobleness and grandeur to the sin of prohibited love and its
inevitable accompaniments, lying, deceit and hypocrisy. Cloth
bound, gilt top. 1.50
A PRINCESS OF VASCOVY.
By JOHN OXENHAM. Author of “God’s Prisoner.” A story that will
win thousands of admirers. It is an artistic conception; a true
romance, which has about it a quality of real life. It is a
dramatic tale equal in many respects to the “Prisoner of
Zenda,” and fully as interesting. Cloth bound, gilt top. 1.50
