This silhouette of the illustrious and ever fascinating Old Hickory far exceeds anything that has previously appeared from the pen of the Arkansas author. It deals with the life and adventures of Jackson up to and through the battle of New Orleans, showing clearly the integrity, the invincible determination, and the kindliness, withal, of the hero. Two duels are described and through the story runs a pretty romance, which meets and overcomes obstacles, aided by the future president. It goes without saying that Mr. Read has introduced, or rather brought out, a strong element of humor throughout the book. [Illustration: BUSINESS NOTICES] REUBEN WATSON BOYETT, Amory, Mississippi [Illustration: REUBEN WATSON BOYETT] Young Mr. Reuben Watson Boyett, whom we take especial pleasure in introducing to BOB TAYLOR’S readers, resides at Amory, Mississippi, and although only thirteen years of age, is the champion local solicitor of subscriptions. The people in that part of Mississippi stand loyally by him. A travelling agent through that region recently was met everywhere with the response that the subscription had been promised young Boyett. He is a handsome young fellow, but he is better than that: he is what the slangster calls a “live wire”—pushing, energetic, honest, prompt, a boy who is sure to become a successful man. His work for BOB TAYLOR’S is being widely emulated, but other agents must get very busy to pass him. * * * * * Don’t fail to read the ad of _The Commoner_ and BOB TAYLOR’S MAGAZINE in combination in this issue.
