CURIOUS TALES

Mesars, Ernest Benz, This is the story of a small Cathedral city in eastern Spain, a tale of ecclesiastical intrigues, "of bishops, canons, parish priests of all kinds and sorts, genial and gri Viberal and precise. The scene is Inid 50 or more years ago, The jambers of the last Carlist rising are still glowing; at the Farmers' Club the cap supposed to have been jworn by the Prince is almost venerated as a sacred relic. The See of Cleza is vacant and the re: presentatives of various politico and quasi-religious sects plot and plan to have it filled to their respective satisfaction. The story entertaining, original and curious; it opens a new field to English readers who will undoubtedly find pleasure in a Spain which was untouched by modern industrial or commercial life—H.M.6.
