How to Read Character by Handwriting.By Henry Rice. Even to the uninitiated eye there is a greater or less degree of difference in every handwriting, such as the slope of the letters, the upward or downward slant of the line, the coarseness or delicacy of the writing, its neatness and legibility. What the uninitiated do not know is that each of these peculiarities is indicative of the character of the writer, yet a student will be surprised to see the revelations which a few moments’ intelligent perusal of a specimen of handwriting will afford him. Over sixty specimens of handwriting and letters are given in this book, with comments by Mr. Rice as to the different characteristics from a scientific standpoint. Graphology opens up a new field for intelligent effort, and the rapid strides it has been making the past few years bid fair to soon place it above Palmistry, Astrology, etc., in point of popularity. Book sent postpaid for 25 cents.

Pursuit of Virtue.By Roland Burke Hennessy, author of “Beautiful Bad Broadway,” “When a Young Man’s Virtuous,” etc. This is the latest from the pen of Mr. Hennessy, and we consider it one of the best stories he has ever written. The scenes are in and around New York and abound with many thrilling adventures. This book also contains the following short stories:

Peeping Into ParadiseAn Act of HeroismA Wise GazaboSynonym SammyA Great SchemeThe Man Without a HoeLove’s TokensA Moral and An ExperienceWhat Three Maidens DreamedThe Matinee-GirlEtc., etc.

Peeping Into Paradise

An Act of Heroism

A Wise Gazabo

Synonym Sammy

A Great Scheme

The Man Without a Hoe

Love’s Tokens

A Moral and An Experience

What Three Maidens Dreamed

The Matinee-Girl

Etc., etc.

—all in all, it would be hard to find a book of light reading of more interest than the above. All the above sent prepaid on receipt of price, 25 cents.

Fortune-Telling by Cards.Here, indeed, is a book every young man or woman should have. To-day “playing cards” for an evening’s enjoyment is a most popular pastime. No matter where you are, no matter where you go, nowadays “playing cards” is the thing. When played solely for amusement it is a most innocent entertainment, and at the same time a great memory-trainer. You must have often noticed at card parties, while sitting or standing around waiting for late arrivals to come, there are a few moments when you wish they’d start, or you wish there was “something doing.” Just at this moment is your chance to make a hit with your fortune-telling by cards. No matter how “bum” you are at it, the girls will flock around you four and five deep. You will be the king bee, as it were, and you will have the inward pleasure of making the other boys feel like a long skirt on a rainy day—very damp. In addition to the above, “Fortune-Telling by the Magic Crystal” is gone into in detail, giving all the symbols for a correct divination of the future. “The Oraculum: or, Napoleon Buonaparte’s Book of Fate” (specially translated) is given here for perhaps the first time in the English language. A table of questions generally applicable has been compiled, and sixteen pages of answers, to suit any temperament or individuality, are given. “Fortune-Telling with Dice” is very complete, giving an assorted list of thirty-two answers to questions for every possible throw of two dice. Get this book, study it, and spring it on the “bunch” at the first opportunity, and if the girls don’t say you are certainly IT we’ll refund the money. There’s many a time you’d pay $10 to make a hit with ONE girl—here’s a chance to make a hit with any number of them—all for 25 cents.

Any of the above books will be sent by mail, postpaid, on receipt of price by J. S. Ogilvie Publishing Company, 57 Rose Street, New York.

There is really “something doing” in this joke book. It has been pronounced IT with a capital I. One hundred and twenty pages of clean, fresh, bright humor—not a dull line!

Harry L. Newton, the author, has declared it to be his masterpiece, and his assertion is being borne out daily, as our sales are increasing very rapidly. The first edition of 50 thousand was soldin less than two weeks.

If you want to laugh and grow fat, read “Side-Tracked.” It’s cheaper than the price of a pound of meat and just as satisfying. So get busy boys, and order a copy before the other fellow beats you to it.

“Side-Tracked” contains the greatest lot of slow-train stories ever in print. This book is getting so popular you see people reading it on the streets, on the cars and in barber shops. There hasn’t been such a run on a joke book in years. Get it! Get it! Get it! Enjoy it and pass it along. Push it along. It’s a good thing.

A THOROUGHBREDTRAMP

A THOROUGHBRED

TRAMP

“A Thoroughbred Tramp” was written by thoroughbred writers and is a thoroughbred publication in every respect.

As a “Tramp” compilation it has every other book backed off the boards—and then some.

One hundred pages of unalloyed joy, spiced with whole bunches of delirious gladness, and seasoned with inimitable wit.

That’s pretty strong, but it goes—and so does the book.

Some of the best writers in the country have taken a crack at supplying the material for this volume.

That’s why we boost it so strongly. We feel that you will get your money’s worth and won’t be disappointed.

We’re not in the business to disappoint anybody.

When you pick up this book and open the first page, hold on to your sides or something will rip. At about the fifth page, call your wife to help you hold them. If you have no wife, call in somebody else’s. When you reach the middle of the book, call for the whole family and you’ll all have a merry-go-round.

Will send you copy by prepaid mail upon receipt of price, 25 cents.

THE SHADOW OF A CROSS.BYMRS. DORA NELSONANDF. C. HENDERSCHOTT.

THE SHADOW OF A CROSS.

MRS. DORA NELSON

AND

F. C. HENDERSCHOTT.

“The sweetest American story ever written,” wrote one critic in reviewing the story, which first appeared as a serial in a magazine of large circulation. A strong inquiry for the novel in book form developed, and we have just issued the book to meet this demand.

The story is wholly American in sentiment, and every chapter appeals to the reader’s sympathies, as the whole book pulsates with pure and cherished ideals. The love theme is sweet and intensely interesting. Through the political fight, the victory and the defeat, the love thread is never lost sight of. The intense struggle in the heart of the heroine between her Church and her lover is of such deep human interest, that it holds the reader in ardent sympathy until the happy solution, when the reader smiles, wipes the moisture from the eyes, and breathes happily again.

While the narrative is intensely interesting, it is more; it instructs and educates. To read it is to feel improved and delighted. Don’t miss this treat; it is one of the very best American stories of recent years.

The book is printed on best quality of laid book paper, contains nearly 200 pages, and is bound in paper covers with handsome illustration. It will be sent by mail, postpaid, to any address upon receipt of price, 25 cents. Address all orders to

SENSATIONALFRENCH FICTION

SENSATIONAL

FRENCH FICTION

makes a strong appeal to a certain class of readers—people who have lived long enough to realize that there are huge problems of sex and matrimony, that can only be solved through the actual experience of the persons concerned. Numberless books have been and are being written and published treating on these questions, and if through reading them we are enabled to enlarge our view, look at our problem from a different angle, appropriate for our own use the benefit of others’ experience either actual or imaginary, by just so much are we better able to live and think aright and secure to ourselves the happiness that is our inherent right and goal.

BY ALPHONSE DAUDET,

is a book dealing with the great elements of love and passion as depicted by life in the gay French capital, Paris. It created an enormous sensation when first written, and has been in steady demand ever since from those who, for the first time, have a chance to read it. It should be read by every thoughtful man and woman.

Unquestionably the Greatest Book

Of Detective Stories Ever

Offered to the Public.

These astounding and absorbingly interesting accounts of crime in real life abound in hair-raising incidents that hold the reader spell-bound. Being narratives of actual facts, truthful records of the doings of crafty and desperate criminals, these stories possess for the reader a zest and interest wholly lacking in similar works on fictional lines.

From the slenderest clue we view the trained sleuths, as they piece together strand by strand the meshes of the net which finally incloses the wrong-doers in the relentless grasp of the law.

Away from the hackneyed and ordinary, and brushing aside the conventional, these marvellous stories mark a new epoch in detective literature.
