Two stories of the times Of the
American revolution among the Jour
nails books which are proving very
popular are I'm Hostile Red" and
"Mademoiselle de Berry, Both are
romances of love and war. built on a
firm historical basis. Another good
historical novel in the lot is "A Pur-
itan's Wife" by Max Pemberton. This
is a tale of England in the stirring
times of Cromwell. If you love the
salt smell of the sea, Tales of our
Coast" is one of the most attractive
books among the 40. Only few copies
of this book are left. The best detec-
tive story in the lot is Capt. Shannon
which will hold from cover to cover
the closest interest Of any reader. A
romance that thrills the blood is "A
Splendid Spur" by A. T. Quiller-C Couch,
the well known English novelist who
has written over the signature Co."

4 Christmas Poem.

A little Augusta 1O-year-old has sent
the Journal the following original
poem on Santa Claus.
There was a rustic and hustle
And through the flames
Came Santa Claus
With his toys and games.
He carried along a musical goat
Which he pulled from under his fire
proof coat.
He called to his reindeer Whoa, Whoa,
And said to the little ones Hello. Hello.
Our little readers will see from the
allusion to the fire proof coat" exact
ly how Santa Claus is able to come
down the chimney when the back logs
are sizzling On the andirons.
