Mrs. Margaret McCarter’s New Book.

Mrs. Margaret Hill McCarter, now of Topeka formerly of Rensselaer, has made her second appearance as a writer of books. This second venture in literature is a small but very neat volume, entitled “The Story of the Cottonwood ” It is really a story, and is supposed to be related to the author by a big cotton woo 1 tree, which grew some place on the Kansas prairies, near where a family of shiftless Missourians had estab ished themselves in a dugout. The story the Cottonwood tells is the life history of the youngest boyrrn this family, who goes to the district school and the neighboring city high school, against the wishes of the rest of the family, and mightily desired to work his way through college, but gives it up to take care of his aged parents. •The boys “gets there” all 'right, however, without the college edu cation. The ' book is very inter estingly and entertainingly written, and with fine literary skill; and is indeed a charming and in many places touching little book, .though entirely devoid of anything approaching sensational or tragical in any part. It is published by Crane & Co., of Topeka, who published her former book, the history of the great Topeka flood. It is a small book containing only 100 small pages.
