INDIANS ENGRAVING.
Going to Mexico in Search of Peace
and Quiet.

The United States is losing quite num-
Der Of its Indian population to Mexico, and
1t Is likely when the land of the five
civilized tribes is opened to settlement just
a year from date that the tribes will emf
crate bodily to Mexico.
There is movement going on now that
will take about 300 of the Kickapoos across
the line, and they have made arrange
ments with this government, after consider
able negotiation, to pay them their allow
ance from the tribal fund at Laredo, On the
Texas border, to save them the long
journey up to the Indian territory. The
Mexican government is glad to get these
Indians as settlers and they are glad to go
where they will be let alone This govern
ment is not saying all it thinks about the
movement, but there have been q good
many obstacles thrown in the way Of the
Indians moving.
The head Of the present emigration
scheme is Martin Bentley, for some time
recently been in Washington and arranged
for the removal of the Kickapoos across the
line. For many years there has been a
branch Of the Kickapoo tribe living in
Mexico on a regular reservation, and Bent
ley, with the aid Of some capitalists, has
bought up several hundred thousand acres
of land at some distance from this reser-
walton in the state of Chojilla, where, all
United States are now going. They have
arranged to pay for the land in work and
money, little at a time. and the men who
have bought it are putting in irrigation
works and expect to make quite q fair
profit out of the transaction.
A large portion of the Seminoles have
been living in Mexico for many years, and
when the five tribes have their tribal gov
eminent dissolved and become simple resi-
dents on allotted lands they talk Of going
to Mexico in a body. How the Indian
colonization experiment is going to turn OUT
it is, of course impossible to say, but the.
Indians know what sort of a country they.
are going into and they know how to make
and negro colonists who have been tried In
Mexico do not. The chances are, there
fore that the venture will succeed, but 1t
will mean considerable exodus from our
southwest IL all the five tribes follow their
now departing brethren.

THE PRINCESS PASSES, a Romance Of

Williamson, authors of "The Light

Here are two extraordinary young peo-
pie, one who Is able to fool the other into
the belief that the clothes make the man =
or. rather, the hoy; the other. who is capa-
BILE of being fooled. This Is not a story for
the coldly logical reader. Such critic
would Immediately denounce the situation
as impossible, the two young people as all
together too extraordinary for belief. But
he would miss a delightful treat. And re
would deserve the loss. The man who can
read this charming tale and not fall head

woman who could resist the graces of Man

It is perhaps fortunate that the Illus

are husband and wife, for there is every

SO accurate in architectural detail as to
suggest the Intervention of the camera.
They range from street scenes and land
Scapes and garden sketches to groups of
worshipers in the cathedrals. It is difficult
to suggest eXcellencies where all is so
good, but perhaps among the best and
most characteristic views of Florence are
those which show respectively the piazza
and the interior Of Santa Maria Novella.
Throughout the sketches Colonel Golf has
displayed a due appreciation of the peculiar
soft vividness of the italian scheme of
color. A remarkable effect is to be found
in the illustration showing a line of old
houses on the left bank of the Arno, with
late autumn sunset light. The age and
dignity of the buildings closely huddled on
the brink of the river, contrast effectively
with the fresh green of the water. In ad-
dition to describing Florence the text and
pictures render effective presentation of
the old road to Fiesole, Fiesole itself,
Prato, Pistoia, Pisa, Viareggio and Lucca.

pected windstorm. when, during the dull,
chill evenings, open fires shed more than
mere heat-a glow and comfort that is In
describable. Architects daily pay more at
tention to the fireplace and its position In
the home. To keep pace with this demand,
manufacturers and furnishers OF appliances
for the truest of all cozy corners are oner-
ing delightful novelties.
The man who. in true American fashion,
loves to sit with his feet on a line with his
body can furnish his fireplace with iron

red or black leather. On this he can toast

choose something striking and almost glar-

THE OPAL; a Novel. Boston: Hough-
ton Miffiin & Co. Washington:
Woodward & Lothrop.
There must be strong personal reasons
for the anonymity of the author of this
short novel, for there is every reason to
believe that it's writer would be heartily
congratulated upon an artistic performance
IL the name were announced Perhaps it
is because the story abounds in intimate
portraits of well-known Bostonians 1t
would seem as though these personages
must be easily recognized.
1t is a tale of three temperaments, those
OF a man and two women. The Opal is
one Of the latter, a beautiful flashing, SYM
pathetic creature who has absolutely no
heart and no capacity for love; whose
sympathy is wholly inspirational and tram
sient who takes on the mood of the near
est person and who wrecks lives with the
inevitableness of the supposed i'll luck of
the gem itself. Contrasted with her Is
Mary Elton, homely and independent. Wig
orous and unconventional, a woman with a
great heart and of intense suffering. Be-
tween them VacllldteS the man who loves
them both in turn, who is of the by no
| means unusual type of the character in
need of a strong influence to make it
strong There is profound psychological
study in this tale, only sketched and
suggested.
Interest in the little novel is heightened
by the fact that the frentispiece delicately
done in colors, presenting the portrait of
the Opal is reproduction of a portrait
from life. Who Is the original?
CUBA AND THE INTERVENTION. BY
Albert G.. Robinson. New York:
Longmans, Green & Co.
Mr.. Robinson visited Cuba during the
period of American occupation, reaching
Havana three days after the transfer by
Spain, and devoting himself to a close
range study OF the conditions of the island,
political, Industrial, financial and social.
His letters to American journals proved ex-
ceptlonally valuable In guiding public opin-
lon in this country during those months Of
delicate adjustments. when so much RENEE
dial work had to be done by the American
authorities with elements which required
the most careful handling. After four
months spent in Cuba Mr.. Robinson was
sent to the Philippines and South Africa,
and In November, 1901, he went again to
Cuba to follow In detail the work of the
constitutional convention and to note the
processes and results of American admins
tration, and returning to observe the estab-
lishment and opening steps Of Cuban gov

of crushed ribbon and q buckle. At the
left side was thrust shaded plume in
which green predominated. This was fas-
tened at the back so that the tip of the
plume came forward over the front side of
the brim.
Another princess model made almost en-
tirely of lace had a full skirt and bodice
part, apparently all in one piece, but In
reality cleverly separated by fitted girdle
which formed corselet and then extended
down the front of the skirt in a long grad
uated panel. With this there was ex-
ceedingly short bolero made of cloth to
match the corselet and panel The upper
puffs of the sleeves were of lace, and the
long, fitted cuffs that were very tight over
the forearm and then broadened out In a
Directoire style were also of the cloth.

this performance. They set Lord Lane
into the tolls of Cupid in a most ingenious
manner, starting him forth on an Alpine
tramping tour at the psychological mo-
ment and on the precise route to find a
travelling companion who quickly heals the
wound left by shaft from the tickle arch
er. In the beginning Lord Lane IS taken
spinning down from London to the Alps
in a motor belonging to that attractive
young man, Jack Winston, alias the Light
ming Conductor, and Molly, his bride. The
authors, with rare cleverness, describe the
emotions of a first ride in an automobile.
and the transformation of a determined
enemy of that form of transit into an ar
dent motorist. Yet Lord Lane does take a
mule-after an amusing hunt for one In
Switzerland and Italy-and goes forth to
meet his fate.
