The Amateur Inn
by Albert Payson TerhuneWhen Osmun Vail came back, at sixty-one, to the Berkshire farm that had been his father’s until the mortgage was foreclosed, he was worth something more than five million dollars.

The Black Star: A School Story for Boys
by Andrew H. WalpoleJack Symonds stood with his back to one of the great station pillars, gazing upon the animated scene with interest.

The Book of Alfalfa: History, Cultivation and Merits
by F. D. CoburnThis volume, however strong its statements in favor of alfalfa may appear to those unacquainted with that plant’s productivity and beneficence, is by no means presented as an argument that everyone should raise alfalfa.

Among so many attractions he is at a loss which to choose, and having made a choice, he is frequently troubled with doubts as to the wisdom of his selection. Recognizing this fact, the Passenger Department of the Denver & Rio Grande Railroad, afte..
Music in Medicine
by Sidney LichtIn presenting a musician’s point of view on so specific a subject as “Music in Medicine”, it seems to me necessary at the outset to clarify the status of music as an independent aesthetic art, and its practical adaptation for definite utilitarian purposes. We must clearly separate the active individual process of artistic creation from the elements..
