Readers of Dr. Longs "a Little
Brother to the Bear will rejoice to
learn, through the joyful announce
ment of CHM & Co., Boston, that it is
now certain that the blindness which
overlook the doctor some time ago will
soon be entirely cured.
Herbert B. Turner & Co., Boston,
have sold the Japanese rights for the
publication Of "Nami-Ko' to the Yura-
kusha publishing house Of Toxic, ia
pan, and that company will print it in
English for the benefit of the many
English-speaking people in Japan.
"Stealthy Steve" by Newton New
kirk, is one of the eXtravagantly comic
Foolish Series" a grotesque burlesquc
on the popular breed Of detective
Stories" good enough to laugh at as
a burlesque of an extravagant type by
Outdoing it in extravaganza that is
more absurd than that Of the type.
DR.. f. w. Gunsaulus, president OF
the Armour Institute, Chicago, is pub
fishing series of addresses under the
title, paths to Power" 1t is a sim
gular fact that, although DR.. Gun
saulus has a reputation on both sides
Of the Atlantic as a preacher and lee
turer Of unusual power, this is the
first collection Of his utterances to
be put into print.
'"The White Terror and the Red"
is an important new novel of timer
Russia" which A. Cahan has been en-
gagged upon for long time. Mr.. Cahan
has kept closely in touch with internal
conditions in Russia since he was
forced, as a member of the revolution
airy party, to flee from the country.
His dramatic romance is said to give
a picture of actual Russia which has
not been equaled.
e. p. Dutton & Co., New York, have
recently issued the fifth edition Of
"The Letters Which Never Reached
Him." that curiously unique record Of
the life and death of a love, death
with the deaths of the two who lived
the love. There are other books in
literature to which this bears some re-
semblance, but none that has struck
the same note, the note of the strong
spirit that tries SO hard to bear up
against the depression Of wide sep
aration, that compels itself to be, or
seems to be, cheerful, to see and to
communicate the humorous side or
af
Yet all the time there is tile unbidden,
a resisted undertone of melancholy,
and long before the end the chill in
the creeping shadow of the tragedy
wrought in far-off Pekin. 1t is q
strangely touching book that we'll mer-
its the favor it has won.
"Peter Teeter Stories," a thin, square
octave, belated juvenile holiday
book, but just as effective for amusing
little folk now as before Christmas,
is an adaptation from the German
acknowledgment of DR.. Heinrich Hoff-
man, Of which more than 100000
copies have been sold since 1t came
out, more than half a century ago.

he thought fit to amuse his own little
boy, and taking lesson from his eX-
perience with sick children, he bought
a blank book and filled it with his own
simple stories, such as the little folk
could follow, stories which the mere
music Of the jingles would make pleas
ing to children, illustrated with pic
lures Of scenes and action that are IN
telligible to them. The result was q
book with phenomenal sale. This
original stock has been adapted into
English by Prof. III. L. SchwetZky,
with additions of some new stories
and pictures prepared by Raymond H.
Carmen.
