DEFENSE OF THE INDIAN.
Hamlin Garland's Book, Captain of
the Gray Horse Troop"

e4AO WAY 4AOASO A4OVRs
Hamlin Garland's story, 1.-THE Cap
tain of the Gray Horse Troop" is differ
ent from the usual frontier story, in
that 1t makes the soldier the protector
rather than the destroyer of the In
dian. Fiction is full of the blood
thirsty, cruel and savage Indian, the
one who repays the white mans gen
erous and seff-sacrificing devotion, not
to say his gentle solicitude, with treach-
cry and butchery. This has given rise
to the sentiment that the only good
Injun is a dead Injun."
Indeed it is this sentiment expressed
by the schen ing, graSping Senator Br1s-
bane that calls from the young cavalry
officer his most impaSSioned defense OF
the red man, when the land grabbers
and cattlemen would have taken even
the small reservation from the race
which had owned a whole continent
Captain George Curtis of the Gray
Horse Troop had taken great interest
in the Indian tribes with whom his
service on the frontier had brought him
in contact. AS a lieutenant fresh from
the academy he felt pity for the IN
dams and mingled with them, becom-
ing proficient in their sign language.
His vacations were spent among them-
He believed they could be made happy
and self supporting if patience and tact
were used in the effort. Several articles
written by him attracted the depart
ment's attention and finally resulted Ill
his appointment as agent on the IetonB
reservation.
Upon taking charge he found that the
former agent had robbed the tribe of
rations and had winked at the en-
croachments of the cattlemen ana
Sheepfnen upon the reservation. The
story of how this was all changed un-
der the new agent is the sorry of THE
Captain of the Gray Horse Troop"
There is mixture of love and politics,
of COW bOyS and troopers, that gives to
the book the proper frontier flavor.
Those who enjoyed 1.-The Eagles
Heart and THE Spirit of Sweetwater"
will find this story full of plains and
mountains, of valleys and mountain
streams, told in the strong, fascinating
style of the author. One breathes the
invigorating air and feels the charm OF
the freedom of the frontier.
'.Tha Captain of the Gray Horse
Troop first appeared as a serial in the
Saturday Evening Post. 1t is now pub
lished in book form by Harper & Bros.

THE LITERARY OUTLOOK.
Ham1in Garland Now Lecturing
About Himself

1t is with certain sense of disap-
pointment that one picks up the cur
rent number of a leading New York
literary monthly and reads, BLANK and
Blank, the publishers, are nothing if
not thrifty" when he recalls that this
particular publishing firm failed last
spring. The reference was made to
their very unique manner of advertiS-
ing one of their books and the judg-
ment which the literary magazine had
to make upon the matter illustrates the
tendency Of most critics to loose state
mentS and inconsequential utteranceS
upon the literary topics of the time.
The observation has been made many
times before, but it is SO important that
the present state of criticism in this
country be changed that it is well to re-
peat that we are sadly in need of real,
impartial critics who may perform
great service for the reading public if
they will but essay the task Some
one who calls himself Brooks Fisher
published in the June Atlantic Monthly
an attack on present day journalism,
in which he went on to deplore the pass
ing of the old time editor and the pres
ent reign of the business Offices of news
papers over their editorial departments
Mr.. Fisher seems to have carried his
vehemence a little too far but there
are few who will not grant that there is
much truth in his arraignment- In
certain sense, the same sort of criticism
might be applied to the literary mag
azines. These publications preter2 to
be above newspaper Journalism or the
ordinary Journalistic methods, but that
they are ruled by the business offices"
is scarcely to be doubted. With few
exceptions, the literary journals of this
country are little more than mouth
pieces for their publishers, who, at the
same time, are interested in the manu-
facture and sale of certain miscellan-
eous books, novels, etc. If other pub
fishers wish to have reviews of their
books in one of these, the first step in
the process is to include that medium
on the list for his advertising apprOpri-
alton. There are, of course, honest lit
erary periodicals. but the tendency tc
hold up the publishers of books has
become SO strong that there are many
so-ca1led critical journals published for
no other purpose than polite b1ackmail.
In one or two instances within the
writer's knowledge every bit of reading
matter is paid for at regular adyertis-
ing rates. The evil of this thing is
that the unsuspecting public does not
take the trouble to distinguish between
the true and the false.

KINGS NEW BOOK
Another of His Thrilling Stories of
Warfare.

General Charles Kings winning of
the West is distinctively one of the
King brand of books. Anyone who has
read one of his western army stories
and enjoyed it will be pleased with his
latest. 1.-THE Winning of the West"
abounds in the dash and spirit of front
Ter troopers. most intricately tangled
love affairs, just enough villinay ,heroics
sufficient to make the hero a character
of interest a siege with Indians that is
wonderfully described, rescue when
death seemed certain and at the end the
uniting of the hero and the heroine.
General King finds an excellent oppor-
tunity to speak a few words on one Of
his favorite subjects; the political
maneuvering of Vashingtonians which
keeps fossils in the army wearing
shoulderstraps and leaving the work to
the younger fellows.
The book is published by Rand Nc

WENT OFF TO SEA
WITHOUT BOOTS
Predicament OF Man Shipped
as Sailor for Voyage to
Puget Sound.

The bark Abbey Palmer had what
union sailors call ragamuf1in crew
when she left this port for Puget Sound
on Saturday, for the twelve men taken
on board of her were supplied by the
crimps and were ''scabs.' One of these
men went aboard the vessel without
shoes or stockings. Sailors yesterday
were discussing the kind of Christmas
this man may have in the icy waters
of Cape Flattery, for barefooted man,
even on land in warm climate, does
not have too enjoyable a Christmas
under such conditions.
The reason that the Abbey Palmer
went away with a scab crew was be-
cause her skipper was unwilling to
take an all union crew, and so instruc-
lions were given at the local union in
Nuuanu street that not one union man
would be allowed to ship on the vessel
unless all the crew were union men,
and this action came about in part
through Captain Johnson's unwilling
ness to pay union wages. The rate of
wage for union men between the Coast
and the Islands is $35 per month
Johnson would only pay $40 per month.
The crimps were able to get crew of
men whom they had starved into such
a condition that they would be willing
to ship on raft bound for China If
they were insured three square meals
a day during the voyage.
At the present time every vessel in
port has union crew, and there seems
to be but a small chance for the
crimps.
The skipper of the barkentine Quick
step, which is at Lahaina, sent word
by wireless yesterday that he would
like a union man sent over there to
join that vessel. The union will send
one by today's Kinau

WHOSE FAULT is TIP

The world is full of disease and
pain. Whose fault is it? Every
body's; therefore often the fault
of the sufferers themselves. But
the pressing question is,-what to
do, how to relieve, how to cure.
What would become of us If
means were not found to destroy
disease? Why, then, of course,
disease would destroy us and the
world would be depopulated. I'm
til we learn how to prevent dis
ease, we must be thankful for the
means of a6ating and curing it
after it has seized upon US, and
stands, like a savage with uplifted
axe, ready to take our lives. Es-
pecially do we need some sure
and speedy form of treatment
for those complaints which are
universal, which arise in every
country and climate. We allude
to such ailments as Nervous and
General Debility, Hysteria, Scro-
fula, Chronic Diarrhea, Asthma,
Throat and Lung Complaints,
Blood Impurities, and the ills of
women and children. For these

TO ESTABLISH NEW
LINE OF SAILERS
Scheme TO Charter Schooners for
the Trade Between Seattle
and This Port.

A scheme is said to be on foot for the
establishment of line of sailing ships
, between this port and Seattle to carry
general merchandise from the latter
port, and it was rumored about the
waterfront yesterday that the Globe
Navigation Company would withdraw
the steamer Tampico from this trade
soon and thus give any new concern
an opportunity to take up consid-
cradle amount of business.
Mr.. Watkins, agent for the Globe
people, laughed when this story was
told him yesterday. The Globe steam
er has been bringing good cargoes to
Honolulu, but has not taken a great
amount back and, although not making
a mint of money out of this field, it
is said that the owners of the vessel
consider that this trade will sometime
be a big one, and that it is best to
hold the field by keeping the Tampico
on the run here Mr. Watkins stated
that the Tampico would return here,
and that she would probably arrive
here about January 10.
The new concern which it is propos-
ed to launch in the trade would be
known as the Merchants Transporta-
ton Company. A sailing ship captain
now in port, who is interested in the
new venture, said yesterday; This
new line will be a good thing. I've
got $4,000 to lose in it. We will char
ter two schooners for the trade. These
can be got for $500 month, each. A
Seattle man, at present in the city, has
gathered up orders for about three
thousand tons of freight from Seattle
and, with this as send off, we ought
to do pretty well. 1 will leave Seattle
in command of the first vessel to come
this way about February s."
The whole waterfront heard the
story. Unfeeling people smiled AMI
declared that it would be very small
schooner, indeed, which could be char
tered for $500 a month. and that it
would take more than being willing to
lose $4,000 in the enterprise to launch
and make a success Of it.

STEAMER GOES
DOWN ON FIRE

PHILADELPHIA, Dec. Cone fire
man was drowned, another is missing
and two others were taken to hos
pital overcome by smoke as the result
of fire which broke out early today
on the steamer Saxon, owned by the
Boston & Philadelphia Steamship Com
pany. The steamship lies in twenty-five
feet of water at the foot of Pine street,
burned to the waters edge.
The dead fireman is William Seville,
who went into the hold of the vessel to
fight the flames. Before he could reach
the deck of the Saxon the vessel gave
lurch and Seville was caught in the
rush of water and drowned. Another
fireman who was in the hold is missing
and it is feared he, too, was drowned
All other firemen have been accounted
for. Divers are now in the hold of the
Vessel searching for the bodies of
Seville and the other fireman. 1t is
not known how the fire originated. The
loss on the Saxon is about $50. 900. She
came in yesterday afternoon and had
discharged, nearly all of her cargo. The
Saxon was on the regular line between
Philadelphia and Fail River. She was
built in 1862 and had net tonnage of
1913 and a gross tonnage OF 1898. She
was 200 feet long, thirty feet beam and
1872 feet deep.

1907 that the business of running ships
is not very profitable, as the Wallace

WHAT IS A COUGH?

A spasmodic effort to expel the mucous
from the bronchial tubes. A cold causes
more abundant secretion of mucous,
and when the lungs and bronchial
tubes are infiamed, they are extremely
sensitive to the irritation. Unless care
is taken, the cold may result in pneu-
monia, which is swift and deadly. If
the cold is lingering one, the more
leisurely but equally fatal consumption
may set in. Do not neglect cold or
cough. Take Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy. 1t always cures and cures
