Western life.
HARRIS, J.C.

The Story of Jack Ballister's Fortunes.
Century. 2.00
This exciting narrative of Colonial days tells of the notorious pirate

Nothing of the sort, perhaps, since Robinson Crusoe, has so appealed
to both old boys and young ones.
THANET, OCTAVE (Pseudonym of Alice French).
We All.
Appleton. 1.50
A good picture of boy and girl life on an Arkansas plantation. An
absurd Ku-klux incident and an exciting experience with counterfeiters
add to the volume's interest.
THOMPSON, A.R. (p. 196)
Shipwrecked in Greenland.
Little. 1.50

enough story to hold together the very entertaining chapters of
adventure--"based in part upon the experiences of that
unfortunate expedition which, on board the steamer Miranda, came

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._
