northern Minnesota. A snow

Grand Rapids. He was weak in
body and mind, and when picked

Circus Day.

After reading Circus Day. one will
wonder why George AIDE is a popular
writer. Many authors are more polished,
more dignified or better purists in the use or
English. but few know human nature as
we'll as Mr.. AIDE. 1t is human nature for
a boy to look at circus pictures and won
der if the show is really as painted on the
printers colored posters, and 1t Is human
nature for the boy to visit the circus and
learn for himself the difference between an
aIluring show bill and the real thing. What
boy living in town (kentland, Ind, for
instance. where the scenes OF many OF Mr..
AIDES sketches have been Iaid), has not
counted the weeks, days, hours and even
minutes from the time the pictures were
displayed until the circus arrived; and where
is the town boy, who, IL the price OF admls-
sion was not forthcoming from parents
would not run errands, do chores or any
kind of work until he had earned enough
money to see the greatest on earth! IL
Is the real boy that Mr.. AIDE describes IN
his short sketch, which Is as choice Dit
of human interest work as the popular
Indianian has ever written. The book is
illustrated by the authors friend, George
T. McCutcheon, another Indianian, who
draws as we'll as Mr.. AIDE writes. The

The Mutineers.

This is not a tale of rowing pirates or
rebellious Sepoys, as the title might imply,
but sketch OF boy life in modern board
ing school. Notwithstanding such peaceful
surroundings, the author, Eustace l.. VIII
1iams. finds some stirring incidents and re-
lates them in vigorous style.
One of the 800 students of Belle Monte
has gained the title of Napoleon" John
son-shortened by his friends to Map"
Like his royal prototype. ne makes and UNI
makes leaders of the various school teams
at will. This of course causes some dis
satisfaction, but HIS sway is so absolute that
no one has openly questioned his power. A
new boy enters the school, however, who
was not born TO endure the reign of en-
perors. His sense of justice rebels at some
of Johnson's political schemes, and he
boldly breaks his ties with his society and
organizes an independent baseball nine-the
"Mutineers." The book is for boys, and
will not only appeal to every manly. healthy
boy but will carry many of the older read
ers back to the days when they read of Tom
Brown and cricket, and they will be sur
prised to find that the good old American
game OF baseball is just as full of literary
possibilities as the English game at Rugby.
