"BOSS TOM"
The Annals of An Anthracite Mining Village
By MATT. STAN. KEMP, A. M.
The most fascinating book of the season, replete with a droll humor “that is as unobtrusive
as it is undeniably irresistible,” veined with a human pathos that touches tbe heart, and bound
together with a romance, “one of the sweetest and most thoroughly charming love stories to
be found within the pages of recent fiction.”
Boss Tom is the tale of a real mining village in the mountains of Pennsylvania. Thor-
onghly familiar with all phases of mining life and the social problems connected with the
same, Mr. Kemp has poured forth a flood of light upon the subject that brings back to view
the ancient days of Feudalism.
You will laugh over Jimmy, Clyde and Ned; love with Mary and Alice; revere “honest
Pat Dolan,” and as for “old Boss Tom” with his quaintness, amiability, rigid fairness, and
strong practical religion, his character is an inspiration.
