THE TEDDYsSEY," drawings and text by Otho Cushing; 36 pages, eight by nine; bound in boards with speofal cover design; $1.00; Life Publishing Co.,, New York City.
 President Roosevelt has achieved an honor rarely accorded to heroes in their own lifetime. He has be. come a classic and is to be handed down to posterity in Homerio form. MT. Otho Cushing's clever pencil has been at work with the President as a subject and the result Is a dainty It. tie book entitled "The Teddyssey." This records the Presidents more sali- ent accomplishments and experiences fin chaste outline drawing in the classical style and described in cap tions which follow his career In some thing the same manner that Homer made famous the far-wandering ad- ventures of the willy Ulysses. MT. Cushing's illustrated epic is in print and paper wherein he has the ad- vantage of Homer who being blind, could not draw and who was obliged to circulate both the Iliad and Odys- sey by word of mouth instead of in book form.
 Book l shows us the infant, but al- ready spectacled, Teddy Teddysses, with Pallas Columbia and Ze U. s. as his protectors,' and in front of him the Fates, holding out brilliant prospects to his astonished gaze. Book XI., and
 last, exhibits the grown man standing beside his ever faithful protector, ?allas Columbia, who requests for i'm place in history beside the
 Egyptian Rameses and the Macedoni- f n Alexander. Of the intermediate artoons the best and the most inn uinently timely is the eighth, in which Teddyssey finally discovers that
 ome men are liars and denounces
 hem--the while they shake and
 remble before him in the stats of the
 mighty.
 Mr Cushing's ltle book is carica- .ure in its very best form. While it abounds in good-natured fun it is en .irely respectful to it's subject. MT | Cushings skill as draughtsman in | almost pure line is well known in America and abroad. In the presen
 instance his adaptation of modern conditions to strictly classic models is an unusual accomplishment
 "The Teddyssey" should find place
 in the libraries of both the admirers and the critics of MT. Roosevelt and his policies. Naturally every collector of Rooseveltiana will include it among l his treasures.

Book Reviews and Notes Of the Publishers.

THE GOOD COMRADE." by Una L. Slloerrad Doubleday, Page & Co.,, New
 Miss Una silberrad has done a re- markable piece of work in her latest novel ''The Good Comrade." Her pre- vious novels have proven her writer of unusual ability and in her new novel she has given us @ story which suggests, though in a lesser degree the work of Jane Austin and Mrs. Gaskell. The Poll1ington family, of which Julia is member, Johnny Gillat, lero in most unheroic guise, and Rawson- Clew. who wins the Good Comrade, are all types with which wa have been made familiar through the great Eng fish writers of the last century.
 It is true that Julia was the good comrade of Miss Silberrad's charming story, but there was another good comrade, without whose existence Juna's story would never have been told. It Is the wonderful blue dat- fodil which old Mynheer Van Heigan grew in his little Holland garden as the idol of his life. IT you love iatt- odils, you will love "The Good Com rade," because it is very beautiful tribute to flower.
 It was a courageous piece of work to idealize heroine who was to steal 8 greatly prized flower even though by so doing to pay off the gambling debts of an unworthy wine bibbiag father; or to steal an inventors hard earned secret to surprise and please her devoted lover, but Miss Silherrad has succeeded in making the heroine an attractive if not lovable character nevertheless. The Polkingtons a shabby genteel family in a rural English town is drawn with admirable skill and the pictures of the life ct the Dutch families which Julia Polk ington visits and in two of which she serves as a superior domestic arc ex- cellent as also the insight given # the social life and customs She met with during her stay in Holland. The skill of the author is manifest in that there is not dull page in the book al- though there is not a sensational feat ure In it. All the characters ara real and natural with nothing overdrawn or overdone Julia's mother is ac- counted and with truth a wonderful manager, keeping up appearances in society with talent that was re- markable, deceiving the very elect Julia was the least appreciated home of the Poll1ington sisters yet was vastly the superior member ol the family by virtue of he' re- sourcefulness, tact and genuine abili. ty. She is certainly a fascinating char acter. Impelled by a sensitive shame for her fathers debt, she nearly yields to the temptation to secure the won derful daffodil bu.b, but stops shor at the critical moment aud conquer' her unworthy desire. A character drawn with fine skill is J6ost, Julia'' devoted Dutch lover, Tho was wcr shipper of flowers, and son of thi worthy master of the house Myuhee Van Heigen by whom Julia was em N ployed Joosts devotion to Julia i pathetic his unabated confidence in he integrity and virtue despite a sus picious incident puely an accident which told unjustly against her ! touching.

FIVE LITTLE PEPPERS IN THE LITTLE BROWN HOUSE." by Margaret Sidney Eleventh volume of the Fam ous Pepper Books" illustrated by Her mann Heyer; published by Lathrop, Lee & Shepard Co.,, Boston, S150.
 It is curious enough that the two stories of the doings of the Pepper children which were the beginning of the famous Pepper Books" have not been included in any of the ten vol tunes previously published. They were Polly Peppers Chicken Pie
 and "Phronsie Peppers New Shoes,
 and were so immediately popular tha
 they compelled the writing of tn
 Pepper Books, which have endear
 ed the family in the Little Brow i House" in Badgertown to hundreds
 thousands. Many have been the ir- quiries as to what became of thes
 two well-remembered and much-lovet
 stories, which appeared in the "Widt Awake Magazine" but they have nev- I CT been given to the children of tho present time. Now, however, they are in the very front of a welcome new book, Five Little Peppers in the Little Brown House." which is entire ly new with the exception of the in corporation of these lost favorites, and is in many ways the most lively and entertaining of the whole remark ably successful series. By the art of the author, Margaret Sidney" in pri- vate life Mrs. Daniel Lothrop, who lives in Concord, Mass, in 'aThe Way side" made famous as the residence of Nathaniel Hawthorne, the ire pressible Pepper children with their many human and lovable qualities be- come familiar acquaintances, and the presentation of situations is so gen timely humorous that all ages are en- tertained An interesting feature is furnished by the excellent drawings | by MT Hermann Heyer, which really Illustrate the story, as they consistent- ly present the noted family exactly as ! the text shows that the author must have conceived them.

 The Little White Indians" were two families of children who played Indian" all one long summer vacation. They built wigwams and made camps; they went hunting and fought fierce battles on the war-trail.
 Incidentally they acquired much useful knowledge of Indians and of out-of-door life; and in their effoNs to emulate the Indian traits, they grew stronger in body and eontemptu- ous of childish fears and weaknesses. The timid one became courageous; the bold one was disciplined; and the cry-baby grew ashamed of his tears.
