ok after the typical boy's own
heart. Its hero is a plucky young fellow, who,
seeing no chance for himself at home,
determines to make his own way in the world....
He sets out accordingly, trudges to the far
West, and finds the road to fortune an
unpleasantly rough one."--_Philadelphia
Inquirer._

"We class this as one of the best stories for
boys we ever read. The tone is perfectly

"This book will help to neutralize the ill
effects of any poison which children may have
swallowed in the way of sham-adventurous
stories and wildly fictitious tales. 'The Jolly
Rover' runs away from home, and meets life as
