@THE STORY OF A SHORT LIFE.
The inspiring story of the life of a boy--a short life filled with
glorious bravery. This English army sketch is so sad that it should be
read by the parent before deciding to give it to a child.

FRENCH, ALLEN. (p. 193)
Heroes of Iceland.
Little. 1.50
Iceland in the tenth century is pictured for us in this adaptation
from Sir George Webbe Dasent's translation of The Story of Burnt
Njal--the Njal's Saga. It was this century that saw the change of
faith of a brave heathen people.
But at the same time, during their long winters, the Icelanders
wrote the tales of their own early times, which are still too
little known. This book contains the greatest of them, a saga or
story which is to be compared, in interest and beauty, with the
great epics of the earlier races.--_Preface._

FRENCH, ALLEN.
Pelham and His Friend Tim.
Little. 1.50
The affectionate fellowship of two boys, the son of the owner of a
mill and the son of one of the workmen. A mill strike is the principal
incident of this wholesome story.

GOSS, W.L.
Jed.
Crowell. .75
The incidents of the book are real ones, drawn in part from the
writer's personal experiences and observations, as a soldier of
the Union, during that war.
