On Your Mark! A Story of College Life and Athletics
Barbour, Ralph Henry

Mr. Hotchkiss, who is well known through his stories for grown-ups, has
chosen as the subject of his first book for boys the life of Andrew
Jackson. While the facts of history are presented, the author adroitly
constructed his story upon the most picturesque incidents of Jackson’s
varied career. The book is therefore instructive as well as interesting.
By KIRK MUNROE.
The Outcast Warrior.
Illustrated. 12mo. Ornamental Cloth, $1.50.
This is a boys’ story of a white man turned Indian and his adventures
in the Western wilderness. He distinguishes himself as a warrior and is
known as Wicasta, the Man Chief of the Aricarees. He marries Koda, a
Sioux captive, and becomes the father of Hanana (Morning Light).
By OTTILIE A. LILJENCRANTZ.
The Vinland Champions.
Illustrated by the KINNEYS. 12mo. Cloth, $1.50.
A rousing good boys’ book with plenty of dash and go and a glimpse of
the wild, free life of the Vikings in it. Every school-boy has heard of
the vague rumor that the Norsemen discovered America before Christopher
Columbus. The story tells of the party of one hundred Icelanders who
went and dwelt there and called it the “Peace Land.”
By JULIE M. LIPPMANN.
Every-Day Girls.
Illustrated in colors. 12mo. Cloth, $1.50.
The best book for girls that has appeared in years; it has all the
charm and sweetness that is contained in “Little Women.” It is not
merely a chronicle of events, however, but teaches a valuable lesson.
The girls are sweet and lovely and quarrelsome and impulsive, just as
every-day girls are. They have a hard and exciting time, and they fight
a battle and win it. It is a charming, wholesome book.
