bright and Entertaining. Sarah Bolton, the

one OF these few gifted ones. The Types

can be nothing but noble and eleyating. 1t

PRINCE SCHAMYL's WooNG-"Prince
SchamyPs Woong," by Colonel Richard
Henry Savage, author Of my Official
Wife" and The Little Lady of the Laguni-
tas," has been placed before the reading
public 1t is book of $50 pages in which
the author tells in that style which is par
ticuarly his own and which has made his
works exceedingly popular charming
AZ n tho Tn h eh
is in three ubdiYisiOns-6rst, prince
Charming and the Rose; second. "The De-
serter-Cross Against Crescent" and third,
winning the Rose" The author in this
book presents a romance that is made up
OF love and military achievement, with
some intrigue thrown in and written in
such way that the reader takes an interest
IN the principal characters from the very
beginning. all interest that does not flag
until the denouement is reached. 1t is so
interesting that the reader feels repaid for
having devoted the time required to the
rerusal. To give a synopsis of a good
novel is to destroy the charm that there is
in the reading Of ii, and to tell of the
progress Of Prince Schamyl in war and love
would detract from the interest that those
who love cd story take in it. The book
is published simultaneously In the United
States, London and LEIPZIG, and is on sale
in the bookstores of this city.
SADDLE AND SENTIMENT According to
the subtitle, this Is "a story of the turf"

Down THE DANUBE-Poultney Bigelow,
under the title of Paddles and Politics
Down the Danube" has given most en-
tertaining account of a cruise along the
whole length OF the great river in an Amer
lean sailing canoe. Mr.. Bgelow Is of the
opinion that the canoeist Is the only trav-
eler who can go through country
and see it and its people at their best. To
judge from the volume before us his idea lie
correct. The writer regards the Danube as
a European highway, which, like the Mss
issippi, can never attain full development
until it owns but one master from source to
mouth. 1t will be easy for one reading this
volume to ascertain that Mr.. Bigelow be-
lieves that that master should not be the
Gar of Russia. The book is plentilully
illustrated with sketches which add to its
interest. New York: Charles L. Webster
