No Field Collection is Complete
Without this Book
A LITTLE BOOK of
TRIBUNE VERSE
By EUGENE FIELD
Compiled and edited by Joseph G. Brown, formerly city editor of the Denver Tribune, and an intimate friend and associate of the poet during the several years in which he was on the staff of that paper.
This volume resurrects a literary treasure which has been buried for many years in the forgotten files of a newspaper, and it is, as nearly as it has been possible to make, an absolutely complete collection of the hitherto unpublished poems of the gifted author.
These poems are the early products of Field's genius. They breathe the spirit of Western life of twenty years ago. The reckless cowboy, the bucking broncho, the hardy miner, the English tenderfoot, the coquettish belle, and all the foibles and extravagances of Western social life, are depicted with a naivete and satire, tempered with sympathy and pathos, which no other writer could imitate.
The book contains nearly three hundred pages, including an interesting and valuable introduction by the editor, and is printed from new type on fine deckle edge paper, and handsomely bound in cloth, with gilt tops.

The Jessamy Bride
By F. FRANKFORT MOORE
One of the best stories of recent years
Mr. George Merriam Hyde writes in
the Book-Buyer:
"This story seems to me the strongest and sincerest bit of fiction I have read since 'Quo Vadis.'"
The Bookman says of it:
"A novel in praise of the most lovable of men of letters, not even excepting Charles Lamb, must be welcome, though in it the romance of Goldsmith's life maybe made a little too much of for strict truth.... Mr. Moore has the history of the time and of the special circle at his finger-ends. He has lived in its atmosphere, and his transcripts are full of vivacity.... 'The Jessamy Bride' is a very good story, and Mr. Moore has never written anything else so chivalrous to man or woman."
Originally published at $1.50, this charming romance is now offered in a handsome cloth-bound edition, 12mo in size, at seventy-five cents per copy.

CHECKERS
A Hard Luck Story
By HENRY M. BLOSSOM, Jr.
Author of "The Documents in Evidence"
Abounds in the most racy and picturesque slang.—N. Y. Recorder.
"Checkers" is an interesting and entertaining chap, a distinct type, with a separate tongue and a way of saying things that is oddly humorous.—Chicago Record.
If I had to ride from New York to Chicago on a slow train, I should like a half-dozen books as gladsome as "Checkers," and I could laugh at the trip. N. Y. Commercial Advertiser.
"Checkers" himself is as distinct a creation as Chimmie Fadden and his racy slang expresses a livelier wit. The racing part is clever reporting and as horsey and "up-to-date" as any one could ask. The slang of the race-course is caught with skill and is vivid and picturesque, and students of the byways of language may find some new gems of colloquial speech to add to their lexicons.—Springfield Republican.
