"Ramble In Normandy," ' "Remblse In Brittany," -Ramblaa oo tha Rlrlera," and a number of others, bare tmpreaaed the. works of the author upon the mlnde of a hoat of reader who oonatantly look forward to new books of travel, from the aame pen. Mr. Mlltoun la a traveler who goes with his eyes open to the land and people among whom he travels, and not burled In a " guidebook from whloh ha nulla total an already over-burdened public H; sees the things moat tourists mlaa and he has, to an eminent decree, the pow- er to paint them in living ooiors his readers. Hla at via la dlraet and clear and waates no worda In profitless opinions, but sets his facts down neatly, neither over doing with enthusiasm or sparing warmth or color to the disadvantage of what he la trying to describe; and the consequence Is, his work Is a piece of .mosaic, composed of bright ana Inter esting facta, and having been laid to gether well, form a harmonious and pleasing piece of work. ... This general style, used In all his books, has been retained In this. But the very subject of this lends to It a beauty and mysterious Interest his other works could not have had. "Darkest Afrloa," says the writer, is no more darkest Africa. That idea was exploded when Stanley uttered his fam ous words: "Dr. Livingston. I pre sume. The trail of the trav eler Is ovsr all today, but he follows, as a rule) only the well-known pistes." ?Phls Mr. Mlltoun does not do exclusivo y, but, afraid of no hardships, he goee Into the highways and the byways and ?ets the spirit as well as the shell of he country. In the start he deplores the Idea the world, at large, haa gotten, from the modern fiction that has had Its aoenes nf action In north Africa, particularly mentioning Ouida, saying: "It is a pity I that the -wUole gamut of tne current affairs ot north Africa is summed up I in many minds by the memory of the translation of , Beequer In Ensltsh.

The Man of Yesterday." by Mary Holland Klnkald This story pictures a phase of American life which passed when Oklahoma became a state. Most of the action takes place at Tishomingo, the capital of the C'hlcklsaw notion. This beautifully located town, until re cently the seat of tribal government. has grown into a nourishing city wnicn retains few evidences of Its former romlner.ee as an Indian village.

Bo the author has nlnceil the scenes of her storv In his toric environments and mingled with tha iictlon much of truth and history. She knows her Indians well and has learned to nnnreclate how vast Is tho chasm between the mock heroic savage and the serious, earnest citlsen of our times. who Is, In fact, the only true American aristocrat Mrs. Klnkald has written a story, not alone for todav. but one that, in years to come, will be referred to ar an autnority ana preserved as giving a true and faithful plctureof the man who, in truth, la the man of yesterday. It is a pathetic story, but who ever wrote consistently of the American In dian and made ft anything but a pa thetic story? Mrs. Kinkald's book hss been most kindly greeted and warmly received by the people Of whom she wrote, for the Indian is proud of his lineage, proud of his history and proud of the way he fought for every Inch of his conquered, but well beloved land. Education has tbiirht him the value of well preserved and authentic history and any book liko "The Man of Yesterday, ne appreciates, knowing what It means to his future.
