Sam Lovel’s Boy. 
By Rowland E. Robinson. Price, J1.25. 
Sam Lovel’s Boy is the fifth of the series of Danvis 
books. No one has pictured the New Englander with 
so much insight as has Mr. Robinson. Sam Lovel and 
Huldah are two of the characters of the earlier books 
in the series, and the boy is young Sam, their sin, who 
grows up under the tuition of the coterie of friends that 
we know so well, becomes a man just at the time of the 
Civil War, and carries a musket in defense of what he 
believes to be the right.

Where, When and How to Catcfc 
Fish on the East Coast of Florida 
By Wm. H. Gregg, of St. Louis, Mo., assisted by Capt. 
John Gardner, of Ponce Park, Mosquito Inlet, Fla. 
With 100 engravings, and 12 colored illustrations. 
Cloth. Illustrated. 268 pages. Map. Price, $4.00. 
A visitor to Florida can hardly make the trip without 
this book, if he is at all interested in angling. It gives a 
very complete list of the fishes of the East Coast of 
Florida, and every species is illustrated by a cut taken 
from the best authorities. The cuts are thus of the most 
value to the angler, who. desires to identify the fish he 
takes, while the colored plates of the tropical fish shown 
in alj their wonderful gorgeousness of coloring, are very 
beautiful. Besides the pictures of fish, there are cuts 
showing portions of the fishing tackle which the author 
uses. A. good index completes the volume.

SHOOT THE CAT. 
“Thomas Carlyle’s back again, and there’s m 
use going squirrel hunting any more thi 
winter,” was the message mournfully repeatet 
from one village sportsman to another in th< 
outlying district of North Mianus this morning 
A general atmosphere of gloom prevails there 
says a Greenwich, Conn., correspondent of th< 
Times. 
Thomas Carlyle is the big, striped cat o 
Anthony Carvette, founder of the Mianu 
branch of the Socialist Party, and he got hi 
name because of his master’s admiration of th< 
great English essayist’s utterances. Thoma 
has gained distinction through his astoundin; 
knowledge of the abundance or scarcity o 
squirrels in the nearby woods, and it is chief!; 
through him that the hunters gauge thei 
chances of filling their game bags. 
For the last six years Thomas has regular! 
quit the home of Mr. Carvette in the late sum 
mer and lived in the woods just as long a 
squirrels, for which he has a marked fondness 
are plentiful. When they cease to be plenty h 
returns again to the Carvette home. Hunter 
in North Mianus have learned to time their ex 
peditions by the cat, and it is not infrequent! 
that they call around to Mr. Carvette’s hous 
on their way to the woods to ask if Thoma 
Carlyle is still away, just to reassure themselve 
that they stand a good chance of bagging som 
game. 
It is said that to see Thomas hunting squirrel 
is a highly instructive sight. 
Mr. Carvette’s home is but a short distanc 
from Wyndygoul, the estate of Ernest Thomp 
son Seton, but people here say that Thomas’ 1 
knowledge of squirrels is all his own, and nc 
acquired by any acquaintance with the author c 
“Wild Animals I Have Known.” 
A DAY WITH THE HOUNDS. 
Maryland country is a delight to the eyf 
and a meet there probably as typical as any fo 
a picture of an American hunt. On a clear 
cold morning in November we jog down th 
road and pick up the hounds on the way, thirt 
sterns in the air, their skins glossy and shining 
marching with great dignity under the comman 
of the master, and the huntsmen ranging along 
side. Into a field they troop, whips crack, an 
the pack spreads out fan-like for a find. One 
started, they need no urging. On through th 
woods they go, jumping on fallen trees, sniffin 
here and there, searching thickets and under 
brush, nosing hollows and holes, all eagernes 
to jump at the cry of the first to give tongue 
Behind the master, the members of the hunt 
their mounts pulling and champing at_ the bit; 
quivering with pent-up energy and impatien 
for their riders to give them their heads. It i 
an intense moment without a sound save th 
snapping of a dead limb here and there or th 
clatter of a stone, and then just as you begin t! 
think that the covert is empty, on the extrem 
left an old hound gives tongue, faintly and a 
most doubtfully at first, but presently ringin 
out again full and clear. Their eyes all eager; 
ness, the rest of the pack fly to the voice of th 
hound already in motion. 
For a moment all is still and then a _ wil 
chorus breaks loose that makes the blood tingh 
They’re off! And in a mad scramble the hur 
comes pell-mell after them. Now the strange: 
gets a good idea of mixed going in Americ; 
The hounds leave the woods and turn towar; 
the railroad tracks, with the hunt well up an 
riding easy. Three minutes more we reac 
the railroad, and the hounds stream away up 
wooded hill on the far side. Wire turns th 
riders, who swing to the left and, getting ove 
at the first opportunity, catch a glimpse of th 
pack just at it crosses the turnpike. 
Now across field after field they go an
