ling's "Stallxy Il Co." Mr.. Kipling's
school-boy trio have as distinctive u
place in his readers hearts as the Sol
diers Three" who first made him IA
nous. They are real, manly, honest,
rough-and-tumble boys, surely fore
shadowing the resourceful men who
bear the mighty responsibility of Eng
lands colonial governments. Indeed,
one of the stories shows these three
muscateers" of England in after-years,
when as men they have taken up 1.-The
White Mans Burden" in India.

With the Hoe" and other poems, by
Edwin Markham, is announced by

more wide spread comment than "The
Man With the Hoe" and the book

announce the twenty-third thousand
of prisoners of Hope" by Mary John
ston. Miss Johnston's novel of colo
NAL Virginia has advanced steadily
and surely in popularity as it's un-
common power, historic imagination,
clear discrimination of character; it's
most interesting love story, and it's
literary charm have gradually become
more widely known. The States, Of
New Orleans says: 1.-THE tale is of in
terest rarely so well sustained. One
moves into ii fascinated from the be-
ginning. 1t is notably strong in des-
cription. The relation of the thrilling
experience of Landless and Patricia on
the bosom of the storm tossed Chesa-
peake, the graphic story Of the battle
without quarter between the besieged
colonists and their loyal help on the
one side and the slaves and Indians on
the other, Miss Johnston has done
with genuine cleverness. The tale is
not less admirable in the delicacy of it's
sentiment"
"Square Pegs" by Adeline ID. 7.
Whitney, comes from the press of
Houghton, Mifilin e. Co., New York.
The frequent attempt to put square
pegs in round holes has suggested to
Mrs. Whitney the title of the present
story. It's fitness is illustrated in the
pronounced individuality of the lead
ing characters and the difficulty they
find in adjusting their convictions to
the conventional framework of
society. 1t touches some of the con-
tinuai problems of life, taking them as
they present themselves to the expert
ence of n young girl who enters early
into their questions and determines
them for herself, simply but positively.
For sale by Baker-Trisler Co., Des
