THE WAY OF AN INDIAN. Written and
illustrated by Frederick Remington.
author of Men With the Bark On"
&c New York: Fox, Dufffeld & co.
Mr.. Remington was only few years ago
known chiefly for his spirited, realistic
pictures Of the plains. He will not need TO
produce many more such books IS this TO
be best known TO fame as writer, even
though his artistic talents have In no de-
gree lessened. For this Is literature" II
Is the kind that makes for permanent pres
tise in the world of letters. It Is strong,
vital and true. Tracing the career OF an
Indian from boyhood to desolate age,
a career OF violence and thievery and
treachery, this story may be accepted as
one Of the most vivid portrayais OF the In
dian character ever offered. 1t Is as true
to the life as Mr.. Remington's pictures OF
the aborigines have always been. The boy
Indian finding his big medicine. the
skin of the little brown bat: the boy
indian killing his first brave; the
boy Indian, now become man
with the eagle feather standing straight
packers and traders out of a herd of horses;
the man Indian stealing wife from the
post trader at Fort Laramie, plotting re-
venge upon the post company leading ms
followers into a trap, and, In later life,
heading them in a charge through and
through the ranks of the blue soldiers OF
the Great Father, and. at last, fleeing with
his freezing boy into the mountains from
tie avenging troops who had destroyed his
big medicine with his lodge. In all these
phases Mr.. Remington presents his subject
dramatically. He has succeeded where
many have failed In translating into strong
English the temperament of the savage.

the direction of these men the congress was
devised upon a foundation so broad and
with such a scientific division and subdi-
vision of parts that the printed record or

alone stands as monumental work OF or
ganization.
1t was determined to publish the proceed
ings of the Congress-. adopting the English
language as the medium of permanent rec
ord, inasmuch as the congress was held IN

the papers were read In that language. In

quiring that treatment care was taken IN
each case to select persons thoroughly con-
yersant with both languages and also with
