Sherwood Anderson Winneâ€"theâ€"Pooh is a teddy bear. Perhaps the one who was thinking of reducing in "When We Were Very Young." Anyway he has not done so according to Mr. Shephred‘s deâ€" lightful pictures, and is moreover on his own admission "a bear of very little brain." But this does not keep the book of stories about him from being perfect stories for children. Instead of verse this book is in prose but Milnpe‘s prose is as delectâ€" able prose as his verse is verse. If you have a child around:to serve as . a possible excuse for reading "Winnieâ€"theâ€"Pooh" aloud, do so, if not do so anyway. It is one of those delightful children‘s bookis which like all children‘s classics are as interestâ€" ing to grownups. Mr. A. A. Milne who was spending his timé, we have heard, writing children‘s :textbooks and suddenly came upon a gold mine and incidentally gave one to children in "When We Were Very: Young," has had the good fortune to follow it up with another as irresistible. % It is well for us who have so little history to know of this important and fascinating era, and alas, we can never know of it in any way but through reading, for as Mr. Quick says, "The picturesque old Mississâ€" ippi steamboat has disappeared with the American frontier never to reâ€" turn." This book, however, is a wonâ€" derful solace. â€" 1 . Then came the grander though no more picturesque days‘of the steamâ€" boat, when ships like floating hotels moved up and down carrying gambâ€" lers, musicians, merrymakers and business men on their exciting and colorful journeys. m'gi‘-pkudth m °ft.":n"§§t Ca M epoch . e building of America.

So on the appointed day on the streets of the village "Mike commandeered a wagon and a team of oxen and on the wagon he set his yiawl. With his crew he sailed beâ€" hind the oxen to the courthouse, yellâ€" ing, ~shooting and singing a boatâ€" man‘s song . . . There wasn‘t much of a trial." â€" The heyday of the bandits was in the old flat boat and keel boat days. Then characters such. as Mike Fink were in power. There was no law to stop them. Mike was never arrested but once, and then he allowed himâ€" self to be on condition that he might come to court in his own way. This It was a great rollicking youthful era, that one of the development of river navigation, the era which exâ€" tended the boundaries of the United States westward from the eastern mountains first to the Ohio, then the Mississippi and finally aided by the gold rushes of California and the Rocky mountains all the way to the Pacific Ocean. bul+ The first thing that you feel as you begin to read this unique volume is the intense delight that the author of "Vandermark‘s Folly" and "The Hawkeye" had in writing it. How he reveled in the stories of highâ€"handed daring of those great river captains, how he laughed over the exploits of the foolhardy bandits. He Kas "rollâ€" ed them on his tongue" and has imâ€" parted thereby the zest that we can always impart to things we take pleasure in. t Boni & Liveright, publishers of "Revelry" are getting good publicity for the book from the fact that a deâ€" mand is being made that; the book be withdrawn from circulation beâ€" cause it dares to throw a shadow on the lily white administration of Harâ€" ding.
