count of "the ventures and adventures

some strong men and somr^bad ones."
There are two volumes, and the edition

lustrated with pictures and maps.
The volumes claim to demonstrate
the truth, "that ancient civilization was

far nations by the trader, the soldier
and the missionary, and "that future
j civilization will be carried to the ends

?'The sixty-year period of which this
book mainly treats," says the author
I in his introduction," may be called
the growing age of the American
colonies. It extended from ltir'2. when
' white men, twelve New York traders,
led by Arnold Viele, seemed to have
reached the Ohio Valley, to 17?2, when
live of George Croghan's traders were
rapturf-d by the French Indians at tho
siege of Plckawiltany. The boundary
; war which followed between England
and France , merely served to establish
the British claim to the Ohio country,
a country which had in this period
been virtually won by the Pennsyl
? vaniu t ruders.
"In these days of quickened political

the following pages incidentally show,

The first volume begins with a de?
scription of the "Debatable Lend," as
the wilderness lying contiguous, to the
Ohio River and Us tributaries is call?
ed. The men who. as early Indian
traders, were- associated with the his?
tory of the "Debatable Land," are men?
tioned at length.
The Iroquoians, of the Fusquehanna.
are treated of next, pictures of the site
of Fort Demolished, of the Susquehah
na Fort of 1070, of Cresap's Fort,
marking the north line of Maryland
as originally granted, and the site of
the town occupied by the Conestoga
Indians from 1093 to 1703; together
with valuable maps rendering histori?
cal text doubly valuable. Much of
this text contains records of early
Colonial government policies regarding
the Indians and the names of indivi?
duals who ilgured In different transac?
tions with them, bringing <>ut many
hitherto unpublished historical points
The chapter relating to "The Petti?
coat Indians of Petticoat Land" has
! reference to the Delaware tribes to
I whom the Five Nations, speaking
through the Governor of Pennsylvania
I in 1732, said: "Since you have not
hearkened to us nor regarded what
I we have said, now we will put petti?
coats on you, and look upon you as
women for the future, and not as
men." In 1754, the Delaware? at Al?
legheny made the ?followlng plaintive
appeal to the Six Nations: "Uncles of
the United Nations, we expect to be
killed by the French, your father; we
! desire, therefore, that you will take off
our petticoat, that we may fight for
I ourselves, our wives and children; in
j the condition we are in. without adc
1 quate arms or ammunition, you know
I we can do nothing.'" "Perhaps," con
j eludes the author, in this chapter, "the
reason for the attacks of the Dela
j wares on the whites during 1 755 and
;'5C may have been that, after Brad'
? lock's failure. the Delawares had
I found Pennsylvania to he ruled by a
i race of men more womanly and abject
, than themselves, men who were not
only willing but eager to put on and j
wear the petticoat which these Dela- j
ware Indians had become manly
j enough to cast aside."
The Sewance Indians come next, with
a description of the towns they built
on the Ohio. Among these was Plcka
willany, built with the help of the
Pennsylvania traders and not far from
another Shawnee village, Little Pick
town, where John Flnley led Dnniel
Boone on Boone's first visit to Ken?
tucky in 1760. Then come accounts
of the carl;- traders of Conestoga,
Donegal and Paxtar.g and of the trans
Alleghany movement of the Delawares
and the Shawnees. The author writes
at length and interestingly of the
Shamokln traders, Shamokln being a
large and populous town on the Sus
quehanna, where Sunbury now stands.
This chapter has in it a sketch of
Madame Montour and her son An?
drew, classed by Mr. Banna as the
most picturesque characters in tho
Colonial history of Pennsylvania,
Madame Montour being the daughter
of a French father and an Indian
mother, and married to Curondowanna,
a famous Indian chief. The following
out of the Frankst own and Raystown
paths, an account of the Ohio Mlngoes
and Wendats. the Kuskuskles. on the
Beaver, and Lbg3town, on the Ohio,
bring the first volume to a finish
lYblumc second gives a detailed
sketch of George Croghah, the king of
the traders, who came to America from
Ireland in 1741, and lived on the Alle?
gheny River where Plttsburg now
stands. It also describes the Indians of j
the Ohio Valley and their loealiza- |
lion in it before the white man came; j
mentions the. lower Shawnee town,
Chtllicothe, on the Ohio; tells of tho
piloting of John Flnley nnd Kentucky
before Boono came; gives the tracing
of the Piekawlllany Path, and com?
ments on the Indian trade and Penn?
sylvania tradei.-.
Tho perils of the path trodden by
traders and explorers and marke?! j
by the graves of many Is fully told.
The volumes are thoroughly indexed,
and. as a valuable addition to early
American - history, must tank very
high Indeed.
The author exemplifies his idea that
the task of tlie historian of the pres?
ent seems to be "to acquire more
facts, and not so much pseudo-philoso?
phy; more documents, and not so
many dissertations on the science of j
accidents; more particulars and less
generalization."

"When God Laughs.*'
By .lack London. The Macmilian
Company, of New York. $1.50.
.lack London Is known throughout tho
literary world for his strong Individ- j
uality, that Imparts to whatever he
writes a freshness and virility which
immediately attracts attention, wheth?
er the reader Indorses the author's
views or not.
His new book is a volume of short
stories, tho Initial story furnishing a 1
title that is a part of Jack London's!
uniqueness, and is born of his idea
that God laughs to scorn the puny j
efforts of humanity to' set aside laws j
which arc made to be kept, and not to]
be broken.
The stories in the book cover a wide J
range, but they are all Interesting, j
Many of them are love stories, depart- j
ing from the serious purpose that often i
runs through .lack London's writing, J
to take up the more personal and t o- i
mantle phase of life. One of the most
delightful of these is called "A Wicked
Woman"; one of the most pitiful iu
called "Tho Apostate."
Each has a merit of its own, and
the book eustaitiB admirably Jack Lon- j
don's claim to mastery In the art of
short story writing.
'?Colonel Todhunter of Missouri."
By Ripley D. Saundors. Tho Bobbs- j
Merrill Company, of Indianapolis.
jl.60.
The appeal of "Colonel Todhunter of
Missouri" lle3 In its delightful charac?
ter drawing, particularly that of the
colonel; in its picturesque local color,
which has also the charm of novelty,
slhuv Missouri Is less exploited in fic?
tion, perhaps, than any of the other
Southern States. In its good dialogue,
Its pervasive humor, and, above all. in
its hu mann ess. The colonel's wit, phi?
losophy and shrewdness are always ad
j equate, and his whole-hearted affection,
I his courage, his loyalty, his genuine?
ness are Irresistible.
The vernacular, atmosphere, types
and politics of the hook show that the
author has studied or absorbed the
environment, the conditions, the peo?
ple and their daily talk to the best pos?
sible purpose, and the book possesses
a humor and freshness that thorough?
ly recommend it.
Ripley D. Saunders. the creator of
"Colonel Todhunter of Missouri." is a
Mississlppian by birth, though his for?
bears originally lived in Powhatan
county, Va., and a newspaper man by
profession. lie is a veteran of the
?Spanish-American War, and has his
present home in St. Louis.
Mr. Saunders hits written one novel
previous to "Colonel Todhunter of Mis?
souri." This was ? John Kenadie." the
story of an Arkansas poet, published In

Company, 15 Spruce Street, New York.
Sl.f.O.
This book demonstrates the social
development of woman from primeval
days to the present, und concludes
with the prediction of her complete
emancipation in future. The work of
Mr. Bebel is done with the painstaking
thoroughness of the German scholar,
and his arguments are so lucidly pre?
sented that readers are led through a
perusal of statistics to logical conclu?
sions.
The book gives an instructive pic?
ture of the development of human so?
ciety, witii woman as a determining
factor.
GOSSIP AMONG THE AUTHORS.
Mr. W'JMnr'k .New Rook.
Quite the most welcome announce?
ment of the year so far is that there is ;
to be a new Owen WI star book brought !
out by the Macmilian Company. Mr. !
Wistar is a leisurely literary worker.
It is tive years since "Lady Baltimore"
delighted the American public, and ten
years since "The Virginian" appeared,
so it is safe to say that an eager wel?
come will be given a 1011 publication
by a most popular American writer.
??Wild Olive" in Euglaml.
"The Wild Oliv.-.'- by the author id
"The inner Shrine," is new publi?
cation in England, The escape of a
prisoner wrongfully condemned to
death is the basis of the story in "The
Wild (?live." which has been classified
in England as "an American novel" on
that account.

the following fly-leaf inscription:
"Murk Twain believed i.i woman suf?
frage, and so do I. William Denn

Thomas Dlxon'? New Book.
Has the woman who turns from love
to marry money a soul? If she can de?
liberately break the heart, of a lover,
wilt she not commit murder when put
to the test? What is tho true source
of crime? These are some of the j
questions which Thomas Dlxon asks In I
his new novel, "The Root of Evil." (
just published by Doubleday, Tage &
Co. Tho novel is a love story, in which
tho lust of humanity for gold Is
heavily arraigned.
-\o Future Pinn?.
Dr. Henry van Dyke, who has re- i
cently severed his connection with j
Princeton University, declares that he
has formed no plans for the future
except to go on writing and preach?
ing. Dr. van Dyke's unusual g'fts i
qualify him to do both. His mission
seems to be to draw closer the con?
nection between letters, religion and
every-day life. So. perhaps, his resig?
nation from Princeton may prove,
after all. one of tho fortunate acci?
dents of literature.
