Book: "Mrs. Wiggs of the Cabbage Patch", by Alice Caldwell Hegan (Rice), 1902 edition

A delightful book originally published in 1901, this appears to be a Dec., 1902 printing. Wikipedia states:

Mrs. Wiggs of the Cabbage Patch is a 1901 novel by American author Alice Hegan Rice, about a southern family humorously coping with poverty. It was highly popular on its release and has been adapted to film several times. The early editions of the book (such as this one) carry the author's birth name, Alice Caldwell Hegan. ... The book is set in a white turn-of-the-century urban slum, with two somewhat wealthy individuals wanting to help the inhabitants.
 
Complete in 154 pages, original binding, nice condition. See images for details. Note: Chapter one (and likely more) can be read on-line. This issue was published by The Century Company, New York, NY, in 1902.
