LIFE.

The inspiring story of the life of a boy--a short life filled with
glorious bravery. This English army sketch is so sad that it should be
read by the parent before deciding to give it to a child.

FRENCH, ALLEN. (p. 193)
Heroes of Iceland.
Little. 1.50

Iceland in the tenth century is pictured for us in this adaptation
from Sir George Webbe Dasent's translation of The Story of Burnt
Njal--the Njal's Saga. It was this century that saw the change of
faith of a brave heathen people.

But at the same time, during their long winters, the Icelanders
wrote the tales of their own early times, which are still too
little known. This book contains the greatest of them, a saga or
story which is to be compared, in interest and beauty, with the
great epics of the earlier races.--_Preface._

FRENCH, ALLEN.
Pelham and His Friend Tim.
Little. 1.50

The affectionate fellowship of two boys, the son of the owner of a
mill and the son of one of the workmen. A mill strike is the principal
incident of this wholesome story.

GOSS, W.L.
Jed.
Crowell. .75

The incidents of the book are real ones, drawn in part from the
writer's personal experiences and observations, as a soldier of
the Union, during that war. He is also indebted, to many comrades
for reminiscences of battle and prison life.--_Preface._

The simple bravery of this boy-soldier will stimulate the latent
courage and patriotism of the boys of our day. They will like the
scene where Dick and Jed join the army as drummer-boys, taking (p. 194)
with them Mink, Jed's "awful nice dog," who could do all sorts of
cunning tricks.

GREENE, HOMER.
The Blind Brother.
Crowell. .50

A narrative of the experiences of two little boys in the Pennsylvania
coal mines. The sketch, which treats of an unusual subject and is full
of stirring interest, took the first prize, offered by _The Youth's
Companion._

HALE, E.E.
@The Man Without a Country.
Little. .75

The story of Philip Nolan was written in the darkest period of
the Civil War, to show what love of country is.--_Introduction._

Nolan cursed his native land and wished that he might never hear of
her again, and for fifty years his wish was fulfilled.
