LOUIS A STORY OF OUR NAVAL CAMPAIGN IN CUBAN WATERS. _352 pages. Cloth. $1.50._ In "Cadet Standish of the St. Louis" Mr. William Drysdale tells the story of an American boy to whom the Spanish war brought some novel and exciting experiences. The lad took part in the cable cutting off Guantanamo, the first exploit in which the great "merchant cruiser" distinguished herself. Not only is Mr. Drysdale an accomplished writer, but he has an intimate knowledge of the West Indian regions where most of the scenes are laid. The result is a most graphic and entertaining volume.--_Boston Journal._ This is a story of the recent naval combat in Cuban waters. The book is picturesque and interesting from cover to cover. The local color is presented in a series of vivid touches and is skillfully interwoven with the narrative interest. The story is that of a young cadet on board the _St. Louis_, who is detailed for dangerous shore duty. His adventures make up the story that at once attracts and informs the reader.--_The Baptist Union._ It is pleasant to be able to say that this tale of Cadet Standish is interesting, wholesome, natural, even among exciting scenes. The hero is a fine fellow in every way: in his relations to his widowed mother, as a young business man, and with his associates in the navy.--_The Literary World._ _IN COLONIAL TIMES_ IN THE CAMP OF CORNWALLIS: A STORY OF REUBEN DENTON AND HIS EXPERIENCES DURING THE NEW JERSEY CAMPAIGN OF 1777. _By Everett T. Tomlinson, Ph. D._ _12mo. 353 pp. Cloth, $1.50. Ill._ This story is patriotic, exciting, and pleasing, and instructs in the early history of our country without appearing to do so.--_Tribune._ Dr. Tomlinson's Revolutionary stories have so whetted the appetites of his many boy readers that they will begin this one with avidity, and lay it down with gratitude for the pleasure and information it has given.--_Christian Endeavor World._ No books are more welcome than those from the pen of this writer. Besides being thoroughly interesting and of literary merit, they strike a most patriotic chord, for it is the author's intention to convey a knowledge of our country's history in an entertaining manner.--_Inter-Ocean._ This volume is patriotic in tone and treatment, and has all the fire and spirit that have made the author's "War of the Revolution Series" such prime favorites with young people.
