"Latokah" is the fanciful name of
a volume Of Indian stories from the
lips of the American red men inter-
preted through the genius of Werner
z. Reed. Had he lived a hundred
years ago his tales would have been
handed down to us as classics and his
name would haYe stood in the shrine
with Cooper. But in this age of much
writing Of short stories and plenitude
of genius that produces volume upon
volume of readable matter, this col
lection must rank undeservedly
commonplace. These legends of
witchcraft andmedicine men, of race
that is fast being civilized, are here
preserved in their original romantic
form and with great skill if not in a
new style of literary art. The wierd
binding and Illustrations give it a
value as a rare piece Of book work by

frederick Upham Adams Editor
Whether Adams is descended from
the Adams of Massachusetts,, or pro-
duct of Adams ST., Chicago, makes
no difference. He is American to the
core and has the right idea of a re.
form magazine. His idea of a party
on truly broad American basis is all
right. But the average reformer is
about as narrow and cranky as the
Almighty ever makes man and lets
him live. But he is a better man
than the old-party politician stepped
in selfishness, animated by appetite,
callous to human ills and woes, and
Indifferent to the strivings Of the
masses for better conditions. Adams
and his magazine can be had at a dol
lar year ten cents a copy. Send
for a sample.
