“Charmingly told stories of boy-life in the Land of the Midnight Sun,
illustrated with pictures giving a capital idea of the incidents and
scenes described. The tales have a delight all their own, as they tell
of scenes and sports and circumstances so different from those of our
American life.”--_New York Observer._

THINGS WILL TAKE A TURN
By BEATRICE HARRADEN, author of “Ships That Pass in the Night.”
Illustrated. 12mo, $1.00.
The charm of this tale is its delicate, wistful sympathy. It is the
story of a sunny-hearted child, Rosebud, who assists her grandfather in
his dusty, second-hand bookshop. One cannot help being fascinated by the
sweet little heroine, she is so engaging, so natural: and to love
Rosebud is to love all her friends and enter sympathetically into the
good fortune she brought them.
AMONG THE LAWMAKERS
By EDMUND ALTON. Illustrated. Square 8vo, $1.50.
“The book is a diverting as well as an instructive one. Mr. Alton was in
his early days a page in the Senate, and he relates the doings of
Congress from the point of view he then obtained. His narrative is easy
and piquant, and abounds in personal anecdotes about the great men whom
the pages waited on.”--_Christian Union._
