The Young Gunbearer BY G. WALDO BROWNE

There is the reality of history behind these stories, the successful series of "Woodranger Tales," the scope and trend of which are accurately set forth in the title. While full of adventure, the interest in which sometimes rises to the pitch of excitement, the stories are not sensational, for Mr. Browne writes with dignity, if with liveliness. The books will not fail to interest any lively, wholesome-minded boy.

=King Pippin:= A STORY FOR CHILDREN. By MRS. GERARD FORD.

Author of "Pixie."

One of the most charming books for young folks which has been issued for some time. The hero is a lovable little fellow, whose frank and winning ways disarm even the crustiest of grandmothers, and win for him the affection of all manner of unlikely people.

=Feats on the Fiord:= A TALE OF NORWEGIAN LIFE. By HARRIET MARTINEAU.

This admirable book, read and enjoyed by so many young people, deserves to be brought to the attention of parents in search of wholesome reading for their children to-day. It is something more than a juvenile book, being really one of the most instructive books about Norway and Norwegian life and manners ever written.

=Songs and Rhymes for the Little Ones.= Compiled by MARY WHITNEY MORRISON (Jenny Wallis).

New edition, with an introduction by Mrs. A. D. T. Whitney.

No better description of this admirable book can be given than Mrs. Whitney's happy introduction:

"One might almost as well offer June roses with the assurance of their sweetness, as to present this lovely little gathering of verse, which announces itself, like them, by its own deliciousness. Yet, as Mrs. Morrison's charming volume has long been a delight to me, I am only too happy to declare that it is to me--and to two families of my grandchildren--the most bewitching book of songs for little people that we have ever known."

=The Young Pearl Divers:= A STORY OF AUSTRALIAN ADVENTURE BY LAND AND BY SEA. By LIEUT. H. PHELPS WHITMARSH.

Although based strictly on historical facts the book is an interesting and exciting tale of adventure, which will delight all boys, and be by no means unwelcome to their elders.

=Three Children of Galilee:= A LIFE OF CHRIST FOR THE YOUNG. By JOHN GORDON.

There has long been a need for a Life of Christ for the young, and this book has been written in answer to this demand. That it will meet with great favor is beyond question, for parents have recognized that their boys and girls want something more than a Bible story, a dry statement of facts, and that, in order to hold the attention of the youthful readers, a book on this subject should have life and movement as well as scrupulous accuracy and religious sentiment.

=Little Bermuda.= By MARIA LOUISE POOL.

Author of "Dally," "A Redbridge Neighborhood," "In a Dike Shanty," "Friendship and Folly," etc.

The adventures of "Little Bermuda" from her home in the tropics to a fashionable American boarding-school. The resulting conflict between the two elements in her nature, the one inherited from her New England ancestry, and the other developed by her West Indian surroundings, gave Miss Pool unusual opportunity for creating an original and fascinating heroine.

=The Wild Ruthvens:= A HOME STORY. By CURTIS YORK.

A story illustrating the mistakes, failures, and successes of a family of unruly but warm-hearted boys and girls. They are ultimately softened and civilized by the influence of an invalid cousin, Dick Trevanion, who comes to live with them.

=The Adventures of a Siberian Cub.= Translated from the Russian of Slibitski by LEON GOLSCHMANN.

This is indeed a book which will be hailed with delight, especially by children who love to read about animals. The interesting and pathetic adventures of the orphan-bear, Mishook, will appeal to old and young in much the same way as have "Black Beauty" and "Beautiful Joe."

=Timothy Dole.= By JUNIATA SALSBURY.

The youthful hero, and a genuine hero he proves to be, starts from home, loses his way, meets with startling adventures, finds friends, kind and many, and grows to be a manly man. It is a wholesome and vigorous book, that boys and girls, and parents as well, will read and enjoy.
