of humdrum commercial pursuits.
The characters and situations are realistic."--_PHILADELPHIA

LITTLE DAME TROT

One of the most pleasing of juveniles, made pathetic by the
strength with which the author pictures the central figure, a
little girl made miserable by her mother's strict adherence to
a pet "method" of training.

THE LITTLE WOMAN IN THE SPOUT

"This pleasing story may have been developed from real life,
from real children, so true a picture does it portray of
girlish life and sports."--_GRAND RAPIDS HERALD_

ROY AND ROSYROCKS

A glowing Christmas tale, fresh and natural in situations, that
will interest both boys and girls.

It tells how two poor children anticipate the joys of the
holiday, and how heartily they enter into doing their part to
make the day merry for themselves and others.

PEGGY-ALONE

The chronicles of the Happy-Go-Luckys, a crowd of girls who did
not depend upon riches for good times. This club was very
stretchible as to membership, so they elected Peggy-Alone from
pity of her loneliness. Freed from governess, nurse and
solicitous mother, she has the jolliest summer of her life.

THE BRADEN BOOKS

FAR PAST THE FRONTIER

_By_ JAMES A. BRADEN

The sub-title "Two Boy Pioneers" indicates the nature of this
story--that it has to do with the days when the Ohio Valley and
the Northwest country were sparsely settled. Such a topic is an
unfailing fund of interest to boys, especially when involving a
couple of stalwart young men who leave the East to make their
fortunes and to incur untold dangers.

"Strong, vigorous, healthy, manly."--_Seattle Times._

CONNECTICUT BOYS IN THE WESTERN RESERVE

_By_ JAMES A. BRADEN

The author once more sends his heroes toward the setting sun.
"In all the glowing enthusiasm of youth, the youngsters seek
their fortunes in the great, fertile wilderness of northern
Ohio, and eventually achieve fair success, though their
progress is hindered and sometimes halted by adventures
innumerable. It is a lively, wholesome tale, never dull, and
absorbing in interest for boys who love the fabled life of the
frontier."--_Chicago Tribune._
