Smithkin, the Indian cattle king Of the
Colville. Smithkin has no occasion to
work and little of it does he do but he
simply keeps his followers together. He
is the owner of 700 head of range cattle
and his purse is always full of gold.
There are so many of the Colville Indians
in the Yakima hop fields that their
spiritual advisor felt it incumbent to
be with them. He is Father de Rouge,
OF the Catholic church and his influence
is of weighty character.

Yankee Entertainments" by Charles
Battell LComis From Mcclure. Phil
lips & Co., New York
The fairies and the fairyland we knew
in Childhood have been relegatcd to
mythology. Another and a more. modern
generation of authors Of fairy tales has
appeared. Instead of writing of the past
they write of the future They teaca
what may be, not what has been. or Is,
the children of today are to look only
forward. And moreover, the author OF
Yankee Enchantments' draws his char.
acters from American life for American
boys and girls There are just twenty
short stories or fables in this very in
teresting book. and they are profusely
illustrated with impossible pictures by
F. Y. Cory.
The author and his co-Iaborer have
given to the child-world a book that will
be appreciated. And it is not the
Juveniles only who will be interested,
for the aged may read with pleasure the
quaint stories told. Problem stories are
not out of place, for each may find soma
genius who only lacks their inspiring
thrill, to give to the realistic world
added and better inventions. 1t is an
enchanting book FROM cover to cover, and
a very commendable feature is the
authors own frequent a6monitions to
the child reader to so live that maturity
may md them morally good
Ancient fables have long held sway,
and the stories themselves have not
always been wholesome brain food for
young minds, for there has often been
too much of the horrible and uncanny.
They have created a certain sense of
fear in timid children which has HAD a
lasting effect OH the nervous organizes
ton. Brutal giants, revengefm witches
and bold robbers are better superseded
by those which can only produce wonder
and neither fear nor awe. Imagination
didn't die with the authors of Jack the
Giant Killer the arabian Nights or
'Gulliver's Travels" 1t is embodied to-
day in minds Of sterner stuff; in authors
who write for their own children; and it
is a safe assertion what literature we
commend to our own children may safe
" be read by the children of our neigh
borS.

|EUncanonized."

''Uncanonized," by Margaret Horton Pot
ter. A. G. McClurg & Co., Chicago.
In this novel called 'UncanoniZed" Miss
Margaret Horton Potter demonstrates
that king John, of England was the
most slandered monarch of the Christian
era" He was an attractive man per-
sonally in spite of his hot temper. He
was loyal to his friends and to his wife
Mss Potter would say, yet he accepted
brides.
Anthony Fitz Hubert had been leading
a gay, bright life and had been passed
at the court of Kings. His father, the
Archbishop of Canterbury, had commit
ted sin in his youth and he forced his
son TO pay penance for it by becoming
a monk. 1t is with a hard, bitter and
rebellious feeling in his heart that An
thony takes UP his gloomy life in a
monastery The story tells of his strug-
giles and experiences down to where he
was condemned for heresy and commits
suicide to avoid being stoned TO death.
The book deals chiefly with the affairs
Of the church and is based on the diff
culties between the King and the Pope.
The character of Anthony is well de-
fined and forcible and the minor figures
are also well drawn. The motive has
although the conception of King John is
different from the ordinary one. The
historical atmosphere is convincing.
Some of the explanations are a little
drawn out, yet on the whole, the book
is a strong and interesting one and falls
within the praiseworthy class.

The house, by a vote of 1855 to 1873, after
a heated debate, passed clause in the
army reorganization bill prohibiting the
canteen system, which was favored last
year by President Mckinley, who said
95 per cent of the army declared that it
promoted Temperance among the men.
An amendment to prohibit the sale of
liquor in the capitol restaurants was
voted down Congressman want liquor

One Republican voted against the bill

Caney Fork"
It is dignifed, historically, with the
heroism Of those immortal Americans
who fought and died in the battle of the
Alamo, but laid the foundation for the
early expansion of United States terri
tory.
But the strength of the book is in the
psychological element, wherein the author
depicts the effect of the grand passion
on a wholesome middle-aged man of the
world. Lucian Howardson, a SOutherner
of the above description, and an eX-con-
gresham for the state of Texas, is in
the midst of an exciting canvass for
seat in the national senate. Fate miro
duces him to Miss Zaleme Acklin who
proves to be a heroine of new but thor
oughly captivating type. Howardson, lit
tie by little, surrenders to her fasctna-
ton. All unknown to him Zaleme is I'M
der the restraint of a pledge which for
bids her to love Howardson much as Ler
heart silently pleads for such indulgence.
Out of this situation the author, using
all Sorts OF quaint, amusing and pathetic
characters as accessories, makes a
story of singular interest. 1t grips the
reader in the opening chapter, and never
lets go of him until it reaches the final
triumph of love over everything. For, at
the moment when Howardson's political
affair is at its crisis, and his presence is
vital to success, telegram from ZaIerna
that she Is free and that he may come
TO her, takes him to her side at the cost
OF losing his seat in the senate.
