"This excellent story teaches boys to be men, not prigs or Indian hunters. If our boys would read more such books, and less of the blood-and-thunder order, it would be rare good fortune."--_Detroit Free Press_. GOOD BOOKS FOR YOUNG READERS. _THE EXPLOITS OF MYLES STANDISH._ By HENRY JOHNSON (Muirhead Robertson), author of "From Scrooby to Plymouth Rock," etc. Illustrated. 12mo. Cloth, $1.50. This story of the exploits of Myles Standish throws a clearer light upon a heroic figure in our earliest history, and it has an epic quality which will appeal to old and young. While the facts of history are presented, the author has adroitly reconstructed the little-known earlier years of Standish's life, basing his imaginative work upon the probabilities of history. The result is for the most part history told in the form of a thrilling and absorbing story, a tale which includes war and adventures, and also illustrates the sterling and heroic qualities which contributed so powerfully to the preservation of the Plymouth colony. The book is one to be read by every young American. _CHRISTINE'S CAREER._ A Story for Girls. By PAULINE KING. Illustrated. 12mo. Cloth, specially bound, $1.50.
