HAMP, S.F. Dale and Fraser, Sheepmen. Wilde. 1.50 An account of Colorado sheep-raising which will interest boys greatly, especially as there is a tale of hidden gold interwoven with that of Western life. HARRIS, J.C. On the Plantation. Illustrated by E.W. Kemble. Appleton. 1.50 This description of a Georgia boy's adventures during the Civil (p. 195) War gives an unexaggerated picture of plantation life. NASH, H.A. Polly's Secret. Little. 1.50 Polly was a staunch little Maine girl of the long-ago days. She held an important trust sacred for many years, proving herself of sterling worth. PYLE, HOWARD.

Manners and customs, flora and fauna, Eskimos and cameras, icebergs and polar bears, make this a capital book for boys and boys' sisters.--_The Nation._ TWAIN, MARK (Pseudonym of S.L. CLEMENS).
