S. SERVICE SERIES By FRANCIS ROLT-WHEELER Many illustrations from photographs taken in work for U.S. Government Large 12mo Cloth $1.50 per volume “There are no better books for boys than Francis Rolt-Wheeler’s ‘U. S. Service Series.’”—_Chicago Record-Herald._ THE BOY WITH THE U. S. FISHERIES [Illustration: book] With a bright, active American youth as a hero, is told the story of the Fisheries, which in their actual importance dwarf every other human industry. The book does not lack thrilling scenes. The far Aleutian Islands have witnessed more desperate sea-fighting than has occurred elsewhere since the days of the Spanish buccaneers, and pirate craft, which the U. S. Fisheries must watch, rifle in hand, are prowling in the Behring Sea to-day. The fish-farms of the United States are as interesting as they are immense in their scope. “One of the best books for boys of all ages, so attractively written and illustrated as to fascinate the reader into staying up until all hours to finish it.”—_Philadelphia Despatch._ THE BOY WITH THE U. S. INDIANS [Illustration: book] This book tells all about the Indian as he really was and is; the Menominee in his birch-bark canoe; the Iroquois in his wigwam in the forest; the Sioux of the plains upon his war-pony; the Apache, cruel and unyielding as his arid desert; the Pueblo Indians, with remains of ancient Spanish civilization lurking in the fastnesses of their massed communal dwellings; the Tlingit of the Pacific Coast, with his totem-poles. With a typical bright American youth as a central figure, a good idea of a great field of national activity is given, and made thrilling in its human side by the heroism demanded by the little-known adventures of those who do the work of “Uncle Sam.” “An exceedingly interesting Indian story, because it is true, and not merely a dramatic and picturesque incident of Indian life.”—_N. Y. Times._ “It tells the Indian’s story in a way that will fascinate the youngster.”—_Rochester Herald._ _For sale by all booksellers or sent postpaid on receipt of price by the publishers_ LOTHROP, LEE & SHEPARD CO., BOSTON THE BOY ELECTRICIAN Practical Plans for Electrical Toys and Apparatus, with an Explanation of the Principles of Every-Day Electricity By ALFRED P.
