Mr.. Ernest Thompson Seton's 1.-TWO
Little Savages," which can now be had
at the Pease-Lewis company's book
store, is probably the most attractive
of the seasons books called Juveniles
1t is illustrated as only the author could
Illustrate it, with more than two hmm
bred drawings, full-page and marginal.
Their arrangement and the general de-
sign of the book, which is most artistic,
are the work of Mrs. Seton. The story
is about two youngsters who lived two
years in Indian fashion and learned a
great deal of out-of-doors. The pub
fishers, Doubleday, Page and company,
speak of it as piece of autobiography
cal writing, since Mr.. Seton all through
1t remembers his own boyhood. Yam,
one of the principal heroes of the story,
is studious boy, bright, apt pupil,
who makes rapid progress in school, but
who is unfortunately unappreciated at
home, where he is only one of dozen
of children; his natural bent is not only
books, but the study of nature. He
loves the wild woods, the wild flowers,
the birds. But his father sternly re-
presses the boys inclinations in this Gi-
rection and prohibits his excursions into
the woods. The boy, delicate fellow,
pines and declines until one day the
doctor tells his mother that he is dying
with consumption. Then the mothers
heart aWakens to poor Yam and his
needs and now the tenderest devotion
and care are his, and the little fellow
rallies. Now fresh outdoor air, the
woodlands the fields, the brooks, the
forests are his to explore in the effort to
rebuild his health. Thenceforward the
story tells, as only Mr.. Seton can, the
adventures that Yam and his young
friends and old men protectors have to-
gether, adventures in the forests imita-
tions of Indian camp life, fights with
savage animals, brief captivity in the
clutches of a murderous tramp, camp
fire and hunting scenes, lodge building
in the wilderness dinners in the woods,
tramps after game birds and coons and
Woodchucks, in which faithful dog
plays well his part, all of which con-
stitute some Of the features of this most
diverting story for boys and girls.

reins in her love affair with an English
lord who was about to be added to her
fathers numerous other victims How
Patricia carries the day, wins her faith

society of Denver, although she first
nearly draws him to the edge of bank
ruptcy, is cleverly told. Patricia is of
the breezy sort of western girls. The
love affair Is very pretty one and Pa

very charming and satisfactory ending
to the story, although at one time the

Thoroughly equipped for the work by
his Japanese descent and his long pains
taking and close study Of the subject,
Mr. Sadakichi Hartmanns Japanese

entertaining way. The authors object

introductory words, allowing himself
only the honor of compiler. yet his
work has distinct and great merit, for

knowledge Of his subject. He traces
the history Of Japanese art from its ear

shows that both Japanese and European
art were in their earliest conceptions

while in the subsequent history, both
were pervaded by similar ideals. Mr..
Hartmann is the author of "A History
of American Art" shakespeare in
Art" etc. His new book has thirty-two
Illustrations Of celebrated works of
leading Japanese artists, six of which
Z are IN colors. Speaking Of this new
work, the Boston Transcript says:
Especially entertaining is the chapter
on The Influence of Japanese Art on
Western Civilization" Mr.. Hartmann
narrates how the London Exposition of
1852 and that of Paris in 1857, served to
Introduce to the people of Europe an art
Of which they had before been ignorant.
