...reorganized five years later into the American Federation of Labor. He might have been its first President, but he declined and was made Vice President. The following year he was President. He has held that position ever since, except in 1894-95, when he was barely defeated by John McBride, leader of the coal miners. For practically 43 years he has dominated the greatest labor organization in America...
...CITY OF LILKES-Anthony Pryde and R. K. Weekes-McBride ($2.00). The principality of Neuberg is just two blocks to the right from Ruritania and around the corner from Graustark. There Heinrich, the inordinately evil and charming Prince, passed his time between sending people he disliked to the guillotine, making epigrams and breaking women's hearts, while Valentin, who had all of George Washington's attributes except his false teeth, clad in a black domino, plotted revolution in a cellar.

But the book deserves somewhat better than that. Mr. Davis tells his rapid, adventurous yarn in a pleasant and amusing way. If you ever feel that, even though you may have married the most wonderful girl in the world, the good old days before that event occurred had a certain flavor-if you care for stolen jewels -if, in fact, you would rather be entertained than " searched...
