"This is the book we have been waiting for. What Samantha doesn't know,
isn't worth knowing--will throw a little humor on a situation which
is becoming too intense. We hope it may have a wide circulation in
England, for Samantha, who believes in suffrage, does not believe in
dynamite, gunpowder and mobs."

"The Master of the Oaks"_
The Keeper of the Vineyard
A Tale of the Ozarks. Illustrated, $1.25 net.
This story of a "return to nature," like the author's "Master of the
Oaks," pulsates with real life. The scene lies in the Missouri Ozarks,
a melting pot wherein those who seek the solace of nature and a living
from the soil fuse their lives with the natives of the Hills in the
common quest for liberty and education, love and life.
_NORMAN HINSDALE PITMAN_
The Lady Elect
A Chinese Romance. Illustrated by Chinese artists. 12mo, cloth, net
$1.25.
Some of the best judges of a good story as well as some of the highest
authorities on "Things Chinese" pronounce this story a remarkable
combination of the rarest and most irresistible type of pure romance
and the truest and most realistic delineation of Chinese life. The
novelty of the setting and the situations will win the instant approval
of the lover of good fiction.
_RICHARD S. HOLMES_
Bradford Horton: Man

Dr. Holmes made a distinct place for himself among lovers of good
fiction with his earlier stories, "The Victor," and "The Maid of
Honor." Competent critics pronounce this new story the author's best.
The hero is a man's man who wins instant admiration. Originality of
humor, reality of pathos, comedy and heart tragedy are woven into the
story.
_MARIETTA HOLLEY_ (_Josiah Allen's Wife_)
Samantha on the Woman Question
Illustrated, 12mo, cloth, net $1.00.
For an entire generation Marietta Holley has been entertaining lovers
of good humor. "My Opinion and Betsy Bobbitts" and "Samantha at the
Centennial" made her name a household word. This last volume is not
only timely but with all its facetiousness, keen and telling in its
advocacy of "Votes for Women" and Temperance. It equals anything the
author has produced.
_CHARLES H. LERRIGO_
Doc Williams
A Tale of the Middle West. Illustrated, net $1.25.
"The homely humor of the old doctor and his childlike faith in
'the cure' is so intensely human that he captures the sympathy of
the layman at once--a sympathy that becomes the deepest sort of
interest."--_Topeka Capital._
