Portable disregard OF probability and lie

Lewis's story AT the Mikado's Court
tAppletons' Will he a source Of delight.
There 10 something doing from start TO
finish. with no waits betw cen the acts and no
fumbling with the surprises. The diplo-
mats Of three nations are called upon to
act a. supers and even the Mikado assists
in the final scene. Through it all the three
youthful heroes have the right OF way with
no elderlies to interfere or carry Oh the
honors. The style il crisp. brisk and rat

absorbing. Wick. the hero. il the son
Of the United States Minister TO Japan

EdwsrdT Tomlinson's method OF interest-
ing young readers in the early history ~
America by stories of adventure built upon
q foundation Of fact in which boy heroes
play conspicuous parts is well known and
not without merit. His latest book. The
Campfire OF Mad Anthony" tHoughton,
Miflin and Company. introduces the burn
ing OF a cargo Of Tory tea AT Greenwich,
N. j.. an incident transplanted from hist oric
documents. The discovery Of the tea INC
it's destruction are accomplished by some
intrepid and inventive youths who later
join the company of MAJ Anthony" Wayne
and follow their leader into the wilds Of
northern New York. The author is prodi-
gal Of material and crowd his story with
all sorts OF adventure by land and sea.
The youthful hero has plenty OF hard work
cut out for him. for he must ride and sail
and swim, win out in wrestling matches,
be continually inventive in falling into
danger and getting out of it again and in
addition TO his regular business az fearless

the hard facts OF history i%ngeniolsly intro

contract he should have honorable men

A strong plea for fair play in athletics
aud a vigorous protest against the admis-
sion end support OF champions on easy
terms in both schools and colleges is am
bodied in Ralph Henry Barbour's The
Spirit Of the School IAppletonsl. The
story is told in schoolboy jargon, literally
embellished with mp to date slang. and deals
with ideal types OF boy characters. Foot
ball games are decided with much spirit
and good technique and will entertain
lovers Of that form Of vigorous sport. MIR.
Barbour's boys always win out in the end
according TO high ethical ideals and should
be good models for real boys 10 study and
to admire. II real boys aren't made quite
