Foreman Jennie was a young woman of business; she was also a
young woman who was an out and out Christian, and nobly strove to
live up to her ideals. She was the moving spirit in the formation
of the Printers’ Christian Endeavor Society, whose struggles form
one of the interesting features of the story. It was received
most heartily when it ran as a serial in _The Golden Rule_.
In its present form it is greatly enlarged, containing twice
as much matter as originally. It is a splendid story for young
people, whether they belong to the Christian Endeavor movement or
not.

Jones,” “Midshipman Paulding,” “Little Jarvis,” etc. 272 pp.
Illustrated. $1.25.
Two exceptionally interesting stories of our navy, written for
boys, but which will be of equal interest to girls, as well as
older readers. The first story tells of how a young fellow, who
hated study and had never been made to go to school, learned the
lesson of self-control, and by a series of disgraceful failures
to pass his examinations for Annapolis, found by experience that
the important things of this world are accomplished only by the
hardest kind of work. The success which came to him afterwards
shows how thoroughly and well this lesson was learned. The second
story deals with a famous incident of the English occupation
of Newport, R. I., during the Revolutionary War, where General
Prescott was captured in his own house by a handful of Americans.
An important part in this incident was taken by a boy. What he
did and how he did it is fully told in the story. His service in
the young American navy is the natural result of his love for the
sea and his ardent patriotism.
The author knows how to tell her stories to captivate the boys,
and the character of her heroes is such as to elevate and ennoble
the reader.--_Hartford Evening Post._
_THE YOUNG REPORTER. A Story of Printing House Square._ By WILLIAM
DRYSDALE, author of “Abel Forefinger,” “In Sunny Lands,” “Proverbs from
Plymouth Pulpit,” etc. 300 pp. Illustrated. Cloth, $1.50.
Every American boy who reads the newspapers is interested in the
methods and adventures of the reporters who gather news for the
great dailies. They go everywhere, meet all the prominent people
of the time, and are constantly in the front of everything that
is interesting and exciting.
