MO uoopea,S NEW soOK,

The new book for boys, which will be
interesting, also, to girls, written by Rev.
w. w. Hooper, Woodfords P. o, Port.
land, Me-, is now out. 1t is published
by the Eagle Press, Brooklyn, n. Y, in
attractive shape, containing several illus
trationS, including good picture OF the
author. 1t has in it two stories one call
ed THAT Minister'S Boy" which, tells OF
the adventures of some Deering lsds, with
scenes largely located in Portland and
vicinity, and having in it one of the best
tributes ever paid to Elijah Kellogg.
whose name and books are loved by hun
dreds of thousands. The other Erred
HARDWOOD" gives bright picture of the
best side of country life, as the hero OF
it reverses the traditional method and
goes from the city to the farm to make
his fortune. This story is located chief
ly in the town of Turner, Maine, intro
ducing favorable mention of the Grange
there. The book will be read by the
young with great pleasure, as it is very
readable, and yet it is one which the
libraries of all sorts and all parents may
well wish to place in the hands OF the
boys and girls.
Herbert F. Gunnison, Esq, Manager
of the Brooklyn Daily Eagle, Minis
ter's Boy himself, says of it in his fine
introduction: 81 hope this book will
fall into the hands of many boys OF our
land. 1t is a good book to read. The
stories are true to life. They are not
overdrawn. There is nothing senti-
mental or gushy about them. They are
true, honest, manly narratives of honest,
manly boys, written by an honest, man
" man, who loves boys, and who has the
rare faculty of being able to tell the
kind of a story that most boys like to
read"
Rev. Donald Fraser, of Old Town, Me-,
a personal friend of the author says:
'sWith all the books that are being print
ed to-day there seem to be but few
writers who have given attention to the
kind of books that ought to be placed in
the hands of our young people. Seeing
this, Mr.. Hooper has gone to work and
written two stories which cannot but
leave an influence for good on the minds
of those who read them, whether they
be old or young"

the next inning he wound up his arm
afresh, and struck out three men as fast
as they came up.
The sensational feature of the game
was the home run made by West Paris
on the first strike. After that work
steadied down, and except for the fifth
inning, which piled scores on both sides,
it was just good interesting game, to
watch, sharply played, with some hit
ting, and good work in the field. The
crowd was fairly noisy, and howled when
the game was settled in the tenth inning.

BOSTON HeRALo,s PICTURES.

From the Daily (Newburyport) News
1t is an opinion of long standing with
me, and have heard the same opinion
expressed by many others, that the
illustrative work of The Boston Herald,
both daily and Sunday, is among the
very best that is produced by the news
paper press of the country. When one
views the illustrations in the Sunday
edition of The Herald he is moved to
wonder that such beauty of detail can
be produced by the methods that are
necessarily existing in papers OF TINS
character with speedy presses and great
circulation. When the half-tone process
was first utilized in newspaper work
there was great wonderment. There is
increased wonderment to-day that The
Herald has carried the process so near
to artistic perfection.
And in the illustrating of events OF
daily interest The Herald is always at
the front. In the bowling season thou
sands of admirers of the sport follow the
depicting of the league games by the
clever artist who does that work, and
who has the faculty of playing upon the
peculiarities of each member of the
league. | know of some fascinatingly
interesting scrap books that have been
made from these cartoons, and they are
n source of continual delight to the own
ers and their friends. Then, as the
other sports come along, there is the
same interesting and skillful portrayal
of the more interesting features of the
contest until those concerned IN the
sport have come to look to The Herald
| Illustrations as something not to be
omitted from their daily life.
All this eminence has not been with
out the expenditure of thought, time
and money, and it is needless to say
The Herald'S art department is one
of the best equipped in the country, and
that it has at its head one who not only
understands what people desire in this
direction, how to produce the best re-
suits in art.and satire, but who has the
capacity by his constant urbanity and
courtesy of gathering about him most
loyal men who strive persistently for
the good of their journal, and with
Al.
