The Voyage of the Arrow to the China Seas.: Its Adventures and Perils, Including Its Capture by Sea Vultures from the Countess of Warwick, as Set Down by William Gore, Chief Mate
This book is in a sense a sequel to “The Second Mrs. Jim,” since it
gives further glimpses of that delightful stepmother and her philosophy.
“Plenty of fun and humor in this book. Plenty of simple pathos and
quietly keen depiction of human nature afford contrast, and every
chapter is worth reading. It is a very human account of life in a small
country town, and the work should be commended for those sterling
qualities of heart and naturalness so endearing to many.”--_Chicago
Record-Herald._

WORKS OF ELLIOTT FLOWER
Delightful Dodd
Illustrated by Frank T. Merrill.
Library 12mo, cloth decorative $1.50
“‘Delightful Dodd’ is a new character in fiction who is filled to the
brim with sound philosophy and who gives it quaint expression. In all
comments concerning every-day life, there is something which appeals to
the human heart and which is soundly philosophical and philosophically
sound. The story is one of quiet naturalness.”--_Boston Herald._
“The candor and simplicity of Mr. Flower’s narrative in general give the
work an oddity similar to that which characterized the stories of the
late Frank Stockton.”--_Chicago News._
The Spoilsmen
Library 12mo, cloth $1.50
“The best one may hear of ‘The Spoilsmen’ will be none too good. As a
wide-awake, snappy, brilliant political story it has few equals, its
title-page being stamped with that elusive mark, ‘success.’ One should
not miss a word of a book like this at a time like this and in a world
of politics like this.”--_Boston Transcript._

Slaves of Success
With twenty illustrations by Jay Hambidge.
Library 12mo, cloth $1.50
“In addition to having given the reading public the best collection of
political short stories we have yet seen, Mr. Flower has blazed a new
trail in the more or less explored country of practical politics in
fiction. There is not a story in the book which is not clever in
construction, and significant in every sentence. Each is excellent,
because it depicts character accurately and realistically, while
unfolding a well-defined plot.”--_New York Evening Post._
