“More Things That Matter,” by Lord Riddell. This book is written on similar lines to “Some Things That Matter,” Lord Riddell’s previous book, and is equally as good as the earlier production. A book for the man on the street who struggles to solve the many questions and problems which daily face us all. The new book is particularly interesting and is of educational value.

Readers will be intrigued and delighted with his latest production.

“The Call of the Canyon”: —In “The Call fo the Canyon,” the master writer of the West, Zane Grey, places before us, in his own brilliant and forceful manner, the alternative which life offers to each one one qf us, and has woven it into a story of singular power and fascination. It is one of the finest stories this writer has penned, and will prove a popular seller. “The Pony Express.”—This romance from the pen of Henry James Forman will find a popular place ou tlie shelves of local readers, who will remember with pleasure having read “The Man Who Lived in a Shoe” by the same author. A Western yarn that makes good reading “The Terrible People.”—lt is true to say that it is impossible not to be thrilled by E.
