Children Of the East Side.

The very clever stories of Jewish children
OF the tenements that Miss Myra Kelly has
been telling in magazine for year past
have been gathered with the rather clumsy
title little Citizens" Mcclure Phillips
Coz. Bright and amusing and oc-
sionally pathetic, as they are, the stories
show extraordinary quickness in catching
the English jargon of the foreign born
Jews and keenness and sympathy in pene-
trating at their real nature under the un-
pleasant and perplexing surface. The
stories gain by being read together.
Though in appearance it is child's book,
and in parts is extremely funny, and will be
read by the public generally for that reason,
we believe that Miss Kelly's book is in
reality race study, that will have to he

work, whether charitable or educational

Mr.. c. ID. GIbsOn,s Annual.

With the approach Of Christmas comes as
usual another large portfolio Of Mr.. Charles
Dana 0ibson's drawings. entitled, this year,
Every Day People Charles Scribner's
Sons). They seem to be coarser in exeou-
ton, but, perhaps. on that account more
vigorous than in the past The strength
may be accounted for though, by the fact
that much smaller proportion than usual
OF the sketches deals with the artists favor
lite society people.
Some of the pictures are very true, though
marked by the responsiveness and vulgarity
OF expression that Mr.. Gibson never fails
to bring out and which with him must pass
for humor or satire. We miss the point Of
many Of the sketches and are not helped
by the inscriptions. A very few are gen.
timely funny. more are tragic or bitter.
but the greater part would be passed over
by most people if it were not that Mr.. Glib
son had drawn them. We fail to see that
the artist has changed his remarkable
ideas about the proportions Of the human
figure.
II Is no use criticising Mr.. Gibson's work,
however; the public apparently wants it,
and this set Of drawings will be one Of the
expensive presents for the holidays.

League Of the Ho-de-no-sau-nee, or
Iroauois," of which new edition was pub
lished by Dodd, Mead 4 Co. on the fiftieth
anniversary Of the first. three years ago, is
now to be obtained in one handsome large
octave volume from the same publishers.
II contains in an appendix the sketch Of
Mr. Morgan and the additional notes pre-
pared by Mr.. Herbert M, Lloyd.
The unusual opportunities that Mr..
Morgan had to become acquainted with the
traditions and customs of the Six Nations,
and later with other Indians. and his keen
instincts in the domain of ethnology have
given his book. which was pioneer in that
branch Of science, a value which 1t retains
after more than fifty years. 1t Is beau
tifully printed, has all the curious illus
trations, and in it's new shape is brought
within the reach of all.

Before the Crisis.

To those readers who devote their time
to the per1isal OF historical fiction, with a
sense OF moral virtue in having accom-
plished duty while enjoying pleasure,
Frederick Blount Motifs Before the Crisis
will appeal with interest for the picture it
presents of the stirring times on the Kansas
border during the John Brown episode
In the period just before Mr. Winston
Churchill's story Of THE Crisis" There
Is abundance of picturesque material and
stirring incident in the book and the time
of which it is written il pregnant with
romantic interest The study OF the rugged
old leader is well drawn and convincing
and his band of intrepid and devoted fol-
lowers have plenty Of thrilling adventures
and hairbreadth escapes. Still one hest
tates to recommend the story to any par
ticular class of readers, for boys are sure
to think there is altogether too much time
wasted on the lovemaking and girls will
find the language OF Buckskin Bill ""Chute'
and the rest of the raiders not at all
the sort of thing they have been brought
up to consider mice
It Is pity the raiders are allowed to
use s0much language, for they really don't
accomplish anything by it and Betty
Fairfax" the heroine, is rather an interest
ing girl to know. and, as she is the only one
in the story, Of course all the men are in
love with her. One feature of the book Is
indeed to be highly commended, and that
is the manner in which the list Of characters
is given with their respective functions and
relationships. all arranged like theatre
bill and inserted just before the first chap
ter; an innovation to be highly commended
to Mr.. Meredith and Mr.. James, whose
characters and their connections have to
be rescued from the tangled phrases pecul-
lar to these famous authors, at the risk
OF the readers very reason.

Fiction.

It is a comfort to find>a story writer doing
the thing that he can do best in the present
epidemic among authors Of trying some
thing unexpected. In whatsoever Shall
Offend" (Macmillans) Mr.. F. Marion Craw-
ford has his foot planted firmly in the Italy
he knows so well. His people are Italians
who act and think as Italians do, and not
the Anglo-Saxons incorporating in Italian
clothes and names of enthusiastic women
novelists. As usual he has story to tell
and tells 1t, and the reader understands
his characters as no psychological analysis
could make him understand them. Regina
Is fine creature. painted with wonderful
insight into peasant nature, and even in
the evildoers we find Mr.. Crawford's sym
pathy for the PEOPLE among whom he has
lived 30 long. Here we have'the old Craw-
ford again at his best, and all who love a
good story will rejoice
A delightful story OF quiet life, Mr..
Roy Rolfe Gilson's "The Flower of Youth"
(Harpers) comes like breath Of fresh
air in the crowding Of adventure, history
and social and soul problems Of this seasons
tales. The everyday incidents OF n vii
lage dreamer's existence are told with
poetic feeling and delicacy. There may
be a trifle too much sentiment but that
~ no fault in these strenuous days, and II
the reader notices that the narrator's age

tone. The second part Is by no means so

life and village life. and then we have the

life and village life, and then we have the
war as seen through little boys eyes.
Here Mr.. Watson finds room for criticism
OF leaders and Generals Of the South, and
he Is outspoken In his blame. He endeav-
ors to rehabilitate Robert Toombs In South
ern eyes, both as statesman and soldier;
he Is very severe with Joe tombstone and
Magruder and others. The love story he
introduces we take TO be true story; II 1t
Is not we can only admire the authors
art. The book Ia interesting not only on
account Of the author, but az showing the
real state OF things In Georgia In war times
and for the Judgments 1t contains on the chief
men OF the Confederacy by Southerner.

More chicago From MIR. HerrIck.

The literary baggage Of Mr.. Robert
Herrick IL becoming quite heavy load, ana
Chicago, in one form or another, figures
largely In 1t now. In "The Common Lot
(Macmillans) we have another picture OF
the deplorabe state OF affairs in that great
city, which, nevertheless, Is true Of the
whole country as we'll, though the lines may
not be drawn 30 thick elsewhere. Photo
graphic realism seems to be Mr.. Herrlck's
aim; he has a preference for the unpleasant
side Of things, and when he has found 1t
exposes it with no mitigation; he picks out
ordinary, commonplace people, too, for his
characters and shows their ambitions and
thoughts. As result there is little that is
cheerful to be discovered in his stories,
though the reader cannot deny their truth
and may be willing to accept the lesson
drawn from them.
1t is the corruption Of business men and
professional men in the mad rush for dollars
quickly obtained that Mr., Herrick shows up
in this latest book OF his. His chief char
acter is young architect who Is soon and
with no great resistance drawn into the
tolls of a swindling building contractor.
1t was curious circumstance that after
Mr.. Herrick's story began az serial in
magazine the horrors Of the Iroquois Thea
tire fire gave point to his criticisms. The
man drifts with no particular moral struggle
into one thing worse than another, only
knowing that he must have more money to
keep up his place in society, till fire &C.
ours in which the loss OF life is due to his
guilty collusion with the builder y
That, with his wife's indignation at his
moral delinquency, rouses him; he makes
a clean breast Of the matter and has to
begin life all over again. Mr.. Herricks
women are more amiable than his men;
compared with them they seem idealized.
great many unpleasant Chicago people,
male and female, appear in the story; but,
with certain changes Of scenery. and perhaps
little toning down, Mr.. Herrick's sermon
applies to New York or London just as
much as to Chicago.
1t is an interesting book and a STRONG"
book, il it is not pleasant reading. 1t will
be enjoyed especially by those people who
wish to feel that they are improving their
minds when they read fiction. Mr.. Herrick
has done his part in providing them with
we'll worked out and well written story.
