BLACK BRrIN, THE BIOGRAPHY OF
 X BEAR. By Clarence Hawkes. IT,
 luslrated by Charles Copeland. Pub
 lished by George W Jacobs X Co.
 Philadelphia; $l5o.
 charming nature story, fascinating alike for young or old II takes up the history of the bear "Crsus the Droll," which begins when he Is taken captive, a little wild bear, by family and kept as n pet for number of years Then a new and less uneventful career opens to him for he, i'm the progress of tho story, becomes a dancing bear led around by a chain. Later he drifts into the woods again and after q spell Of joyous wild liberty, becomes a sorrow full and abused captive in a circus. Later on, through railroad smash up, he becomes free again and learns the secrets of the wild life of the forests He learns how to catch fish and one of the pictures shows Black Bruln eagerly and wonderingly watching female bear who is sitting on a flat rock just over the stream, Black Bruln finally discovers that the other bear has caught fine fish ana thus pro- vided herself with luscious meal, Having learned this secret Black Bruln proceeds to do the trick himself much to his gastrOnomical satisfaction. Later on Black Bruin mates with the com rHdo he met at the stream and in his after life meets with some very oXcit- ing experiences and fierce battle. The book will bc, no doubt. one of the faVorites in the selection of gifts for the holidays, Tt presents nothing wildly improbable even though the reader starts a little at reading that another bear carried off, wrapped in a blanket, a little human baby, but it appears that the bear had good intentions and had in her babyhood been a family pet in a house full of children, Tho story is told sympathetIcally and cleverly and gives much of interest regarding bears, their nature and habits and their cOmiCalities and throughout as it Is a pleasure to note the author teaches the lesson of kindness to the animal crea- ton.
