Boy Life IN Japan.

Sakai Shioya has written a book,
When I Was a Boy in Japan" which
he states in his introduction shall IN
troduce Japanese boys to their Ameri-
can friends. But unfortunately for
Shioya's good Intentions, he gives us
a deal OF Shioya, with rather scant
pickings of the doings of real little
boys. be they brown or white Tie
Western method too, appeals strongly
to Shieya. and rather mars his intended
picture of Oriental boy life. For ex-
ample, he introduces little girl COM
panion to widen the interest and add
somewhat more OF the story element
than would. otherwise be present"
Shioya has learned his English well,
and writes 1t fluently; presumably. hav-
ing been brought up in Japan. he
knows japanese boy life; his ideas Of
introducing the japanese boy to the
American Is good one. He is thus
well prepared to write another book
in which the introduction OF Japanese
boydom to American shall be brought
about.

Author Paine S Career.

Ralph d. Paine, author of "The Story
of Martin Coe," has had one of those
remarkable careers which seem to be
common in modern America. Born in
Florida, educated at Yale and trained
in metropolitan newspaper work, he
filibustered along the coast of Cuba
before the war was in Cuba during the
war, followed the army from Cuba to
China and was ordered from Peking to
Henley, England, to report the annual
regatta there.
Three or four years ago he left
newspaper work and began writing for
the magazines. His success was al
most instantaneous, first with thor
oughiy practical articles and later with
fine short stories, truly American In
character which gained for him in
stant recognition as a story writer of
great promise. Many of these stories
were gathered together in The Pray
ing Skipper" a volume published last
spring.
The original of Martin Coe'' was
Mike Welsh one of the crew of the
notorious Alibuster, the Three Friends,
when Mr. Paine was aboard her. While
they were trying to land a cargo at
night on the southern coast of Cuba
they ran into two Spanish gunboats
hidden in a bay at place called Rio
San Juan On the voyage Mike Walsh
mac mounted l4-pcundSr Heid piece
in the bow. With his firing he disabled
one of the Spanish gunboats and the
Three Friends ran away from the
other gunboat after brisk enga ge-
ment with cannon and rifles The
Three Friends landed at least a dozen
expeditions on the coast of Cuba in
'95, go and 81. and there was an order
by the Spanish Gov ernment to sink her
at sea with all hands il she was over
hauled. The present Governor of Flor
ida, Napoleon BrowarG, was a part
owner. and he commanded her on sew
eral of these expeditions. 1t is a pecu-
liar example of the ups and downs of
history that after breaking his eoun-
try's laws with such dashing success
Mr.. Broward should be chosen to en-
force them in a Governors chair.

Another FIoosier Novelist.

Harold Morton Kramer is the latest
contributor to the Indiana school of
fiction. Hearts and the Cross is the
title of his story, which opens prom
isingly and soon drops into common
placeness.

introduced to the hero, wandering
minstrel kind of tramp, who has been
a minister of the gospel and also

Story of Southern Life.

Every one of the 644 pages of John
Trotwood Moore's THE Bishop of Cot
tontown" is worth reading. To be
sure, the story might have been told in
322 pages. but il the novel is TO enter
tain the reader gets just TWICE as
much entertainment out of the
Bishop s" adventures as he would had
the story been kept within its possible
limits. One chapter is devoted to a
horse trade yarn which is quite as
good as that told by David Harum to
his admiring but scandalized sister
There is, too description of a horse
race-in which the God-fearing, race
horse-loving, Scripture quoting old
Bishop snatches victory from defeat,
and wins a $4,000 stake--that distances
anything that has been written of the
race course in many day. The money
thus won enables the Bishop" to re-
store his old employers son-rendered
feeble minded by a blow on the head
to health, to pave the way for happy
conclusion of several complicated sit
uations, and to save his own grand
children from the serfdomN. of the cot
ton factory
The story deals with the new slavery
of the South, the crushing, grinding
slavery of the cotton factory that coins
the blood of little children into dollars.
But the author does not force the evil
upon the reader although through the
whole story il runs like a thread bind
ing the misery of the driven people
who have deserted the country for the
tinsel offerings of the city, into one
comprehensive whole. But the flashes
of protest against child labor in the
factories are none the less keen be-
cause infrequent.
In describing the Bishops" congre-
CATION the difference in appearances OF
the "Hiilites," the country people, and
the Cottontown factory workers is
thus tersely set forth:
The line OF demarcation. even in the

Miss Nicholson S --latest.

Anthony overman," by Miriam Mi

woman whose notions OF life are naive

periences and borrow their color

profession-whicil she takes wifi, nor

of the book consists in its portrayal
of the curious phase of modern woman

newspaper woman, who imagines she
works like man and giories in her
