strenuous, physical activity. Thus
when speaking of the Indian boy.
White Otter" who grows up to be the
fierce warrior and Fire Eater" who is
the subject of this sketchy story, he
uses these words:
HE was boy--a fine looking, skill
fully modelled youth-as beautiful a
thing. doubtless, as God ever created
in his sense of form; better than his
sisters, better than the four-foots, or
the fishes or the birds, and he meant
so much more than the inanimate
things, in SO far as we can see,"
One of the pictures shows US this
looking out over the plains in the fierce
and sullen mood when the love of the
war-trail, and the thirst of battle blood
begins to take possession OF his will.
The two dominant impressions we
get from these revelations of the way
of an Indian are that these red men
are swayed by two powerful instincts:
one, the belief in the supernatural,
which with them is so mingled with
awful superstition that it's effects for
evil are as great as It's influences for
good; and the other is the hereditary
and terribly absorbing love of the war
trail-to kill and scalp the men of
other tribes. to steal their ponies and
to capture their girls and women and
esteem, all applause. all power and
greatness, came only down that fear
full road-the war-trail."
The superstition natural to the In
dian is illustrated in the picture chosen
from the book to reproduce on this
page. The figure is that of the mature
warrior, who has developed from the
beautiful youth before mentioned. He
has been a successful chief and he
firmly believes that success is due to
the SPELL charms he and his tribe use
and to the assistance of spirits. He
is standing erect, as the saying goes,
tall and straight as an Indian" and
he is thanking THE Thunder Bird for
assisting the Indians against the "Yel-
low Eyes" by which name his tribe
call the white men. One method of the
book to make US familiar with the
"way of an Indian" Is to give transla-
tions of fragments of the Indians
picturesque and superstitious talk.

soundness is usually such as women

ANOTHER VOLUME
ABOUTTHE GARDEN

Mabel osgood Wright, the novelist,
seems TO have a lingering fondness for
the sort Of pet name of Barbara" by
which she was known to the literary
world during the long period in which
she preserved her anonymity, for now
although her real name is we'll known
she sends out her new book with the
title page thus: The Garden You
and l." by Barbara. 1t is very wise
for her to thus keep the name under
which she has made so many friends
among the readers Of good stories and
garden books, for by it's use she keeps
the link intact with that popularity
which she achieved in her former
writings, when readers and book-selI-
ers, not knowing what else to call her,
dubbed her Barbara, after one of the
very likabIe women in her stories
Her first largely successful book
was The Garden of a Commuters
Wife" and the thing had such a ring
OF reality TO il that readers Instructive
ly guessed that the author was herself

BUSINE ESS PRIMER
FOR INVESTORS

A very wise little booklet called "A
Financial Courtship" is sent out with
the compliments of E. H. Rollins &
cisco. It's subtitle is "A Plea for Con-
servative Investments" aand this sec
ondary title is more indicative of the
pamphlets character than the first. for
it is about business, and the ~courtship
is lust added in order to throw a little
of the pretty glamour of love romance
around what might otherwise seem the
too dull details about some elementary
but very much needed lessons in re-
gard to how to keep your money safe
ly and make it grow gradually after
you have saved up a little pile to in
vest. The author is Frank w. Rollins
The booklet bears internal evidence of
having been done with kind intent.
1t gives in a very plain. clear way
what though seemingly very simple,
is really very important information
about how to distinguish safe and sane
from wildcat investments. 1t does not
profess to be anything more than just
some of the A C's of business knowl-
edge: but no doubt, many thousand
has been dropped, sometimes from ig-
norance. but more often from reckless
disregard of such alphabet of invest
ment. The author wrote it chiefly as
a guide to women who are on the
lookout for wise ways to invest their
savings, but who are not business
women and who have no business men
in their family to whom they can go
trustingly for advice as to finance
This useful information is cast into
the form of story of two old maids
of AZ and go, who had a large sum
of money left to them by their father,
but this father had never given the
girls the least little bit of training or
experience In business. They happen
to have just one male friend who is
both honest and well informed, and
they go to him in almost kindergarten
simplicity to learn about making their
money take care OF them and how to
keep it out OF the hands of sharks
The San Francisco call., 1906-07-08

calls for all of the story teller's art to
draw out our sympathy and awake our
understanding; and success in this is
what chiefly lifts this latest novel of
our popular novelist high above the
ordinary run of fiction about political
life. 1t is an exquisite exempliication
of the eternal feminine getting in her
best work in the best way, to wit, the
loYably feminine, wholly womanly way,
and reminds US of that saying of James
Bryce that: mo country seems to owe
so much to its women as Amerca-to
owe so much to them for what is best
in its social institutions and in the be-
liefs that govern conduct"
The two chapters that are the super
latively forceful ones about this half
unhappy and half happy love history
of Jethro Bass are Book I, chapter VI,
entitled, Deep as first love, and wild
with all regret" and chapter XII in
Book 2, called In the tannery shed"
The two women of Jethro's love ro-
nance, the mother and daughter, are
both named Cynthia, and so "Cynthy'
is the love name that fate uses to con-
jure with upon the soul of this master
Of men and slave to women only of
the purest type.
In this chapter called Deep as first
love" il is graphically recorded how
the Cynthia of the first love story went
to his tannery house TO have an inter
view with Jethro on a night of great
storm. She was impeIled to do this
because she loved him, but suspected
him of INSCRIPTIONS conduct in his
manipulations of elections. In the in
terview Jethro confessed his love for
his fair visitor and kissed her pas
sionately, but he refused to explain his
political conduct to her or to promise
TO reform. Then she commanded him
never TO speak to her again and left
him forever. 1t was the end of his
love dream and ambition-so far as
love meant courtship and marriage
In the other great chapter mentioned,
chapter XII, il is brought about with
dramatic appropriateness and power
that the younger Cynthia, the daughter
Of the proudly pure woman who cast
on Jethro because she believed he was
dishonorable. goes to this same tannery
house, and with the same sort Of a
confession-d demanding purpose. 1he
poor, unhappy, but loving girl, has
had the evidence forced upon her that
trustworthy friends of hers believe
that her foster father maintains his
boss-ship and made his wealth by dis
honorable means. This time Jethros
great love for the two women, the dead
mother and the living daughter, quite
conquers his stubborn strength and he
confesses his fault His adopted
daughter does not take her love away
from him, and he becomes through love
of her a changed and nobler man.
That chapter is exceedingly dramatic
and most affectingly beautiful 1T
was a Judgment Day for Jethro; and
though he knew it not. he spoke
through Cynthia to his Maker"
