Penn Publishing Company, PhiLadei-
ph!a.
Whatever else may DO said about this
work. It Is at least innocuous. A family
from the East consisting OF several lasses
OF exceptional piety, and most STUPID
old father, move out 10 the ROCKIES anu
attempt sheep-raising. A collie dog Win
what appears to be a collegiate eaucatlon,
is introduced, and far surpasses the girls
father In common sense. Many harushlps
are undergone, but finally everything
ends happily. save that the intellectual
dog meets an untimely end. One or the
girls finds n nice young man 10 marry
her. and the curtain falls on the ranch'
mid general satisfaction.
This book. though evidently designed
for young people, and devoid OF strength
is pure. and by no means undressing.
