and nails will enjoy the new book by
Louise Brigham on how to make box
furniture.
The materials are just the ordinary
boxes your grocer will give you, or
sell yot Sor trihe and few simple
tools, s. >'e nails and simple stain.
BOX Flu. 'ure' tells, down to the
minutest dt Al, how to make and how
to have fun in making all sorts of SIM
pie, serviceable, artistic things. Miss
Brigham has herself made every one OF
the articles she describes. She made
all the furnishings OF Sunshine cot
tage which was located in one OF the
worst parts of Cleveland. Here she
lived on terms of simple neighborliness
with the boys and girls and mothers
of the street, making warm friends OF
lads whom the settlements could not
reach. 1t was not all box furniture, of
course; but the ridiculously low price
of the furnishing left money for more
important things, and the simplicity or
it won the confidence of the neighbors
and Miss Brigham did the rest.
Miss Brigham turned a friends camp
way up north-into a marvel of cozy
comfort-just with the boxes that
brought their supplies = boxes and
clever hands.
The book goes into all possible desir-
able details. Nothing is left to chance
or guesswork. 1t tells just how-so the
most unskilled can get results.

Tiberius Marshall believed for long
time that he was the unluckiest young
ster that ever lived. AS a member Of
the Roaring Rangers" as the hero of
the Swallow TAIL" and in various
other spisodes, Tibs experiences seemed
to warrant this dismal belief on his
part but all in good time, a change
came, and the truth that the reward
of virtue is as sure as the rising and
setting of the sun is impresSiVely
taught. The story is luminous with
humor, pathos and incidents that stir
and quicken one's blood. Like 'Plucky
Joe," "rhe Lost Dragon" and other of
Mr.. Ellis works, "Unlucky Tib" teaches
in the most fascinating manner its own
profound moral lesson. Boston: Dana

discovery of a~startling robbery plot.
Genuine boy courage and faith in his
fathers sound advice stand him in good
stead. Full of suspense and swift
action; extraordinary events are de-
scribed by the young hero, as he saw
them, yet with complete unconscious
ness of his own "heroship." The de-
veIopment of the story shows how great
and essential part character plays in
emergencies.

Dear Aunt Laurie:
" HE new - at our school is
quite an interesting topic to me.
Il The new teacher is to be my
topic, but first of all l must begin with
the building.
When Monday morning came I was
quite anxious to get to school. On
reaching there I found that the build
ing had been freshly painted and the
trees were trimmed and made neat.
The next thing, 1 found that 1 was
to have a new teacher, a man, which
surprised me greatly, for I had always
had ladies' 1 like him very much.
When I have letter in The Herald
Junior there are two teachers to whom
1 go and take copies. One of them,
Miss !, being one of my former
teachers, is the first one who gave me
a thorough understanding in arith-
metic, and she Is a fine teacher, and
shall always like her very much.

books before as 1 have this year. The
drawing materials were especially nu-
merous. 1 like my new geography, also

it very much. I also think it is a
very beautiful poem.

MANY NEW ORNAMENTS
AND BOOKS FOR PUPIL
(HonorabIe Mention)


Dear Aunt Laura:
IN HERE are many new things at
my school. / am in a new room
Il and have a new teacher. My
room is fixed up very nice and there
are thirteen pretty pictures on the
wall.
There are two book shelves. which
contain several books, most of which
are United States histories. There are
also two small statues, which occupy
prominent places in the room.
1 like my new teacher very much.
Her name is Miss Cox. The only new
study 1 have is geometry. had al
ways thought geometry would be
rather hard, but I find it quite easy
1 suppose it will be hard enough when
1 get farther along in the book.
I have a big, new geography, which
promises to be interesting. We studied
about New Zealand for our first les
son. My new reader is the Lady OF
the Lake, by Walter Scott.
I think I have told of all the new
things at my school.

TURTLES AND ToRToIsEs

Turtles and tortoises are curious
creatures and well worth study. They
are very slow-moving and dull looking,
but perhaps have more intelligence
than we give them credit for The
ancients thought a good deal of them,
and taught that the world rested on a
tortoise, but they never explained what
the tortoise stood on, which was rather
queer geography. You will also re-

Nen Books for
Our Readers
BY FLORENCE BosARD LAWRENCE


1.-THE Bob's Cave Boys is a continu-
alton of the "doings" of the Band,
under which title the boys of Bob'S
Hill first claimed public notice. Charles
Pierce Burton is past master in the art
of telling boys stories, and he has
ashieved particular success with this
book.
The story, which will surely interest
each boy and girl reader, describes
among other things the initiation, when
a new boy is to be admitted to the
mysteries of the band"
After much discussion of ways and
means whereby this initiation may be
made particularly unusual one member
of the band has wonderful inspira-
ton. Telling the other boys that he
had found the very thing for Hank
(the new boy) to do, Skinny stood up,
folded his arms and commenced his
school piece:
Listen. my children, and you shall hear
OF the midnight ride of Paul Revere,
On the eighteenth of April seventy-fve
Hardly a man is alivs
Who remembers that famous day and year.
Course there isn't" said Bill when
Skinny stopped for breath. whats
that got to do with the 'nitiation?"
Everything" said Skinny. That's
it,"
raul Revere, you know, was Lne
man who woke up the minute men
when the British were marching on
Concord and Lexington, back in the
Revolution He didn't live in our town,
but he was all right"
at will be great" continued Skinny.
1--WE can hang a lantern in the Baptist
steeple for signal. Don't you remenl-
Der how Paul Rever thundered at the
doors of all the houses and yelled TO
arms! To arms! The British are
coming'?"
"Weru borrow a horse" continued
Skinny, "and send Hank up toward
North Adams on one road and back
the other. Whenever he comes to
house he will have to bang on the door
and yell: To arms! To arms The
British are coming!"
After the marvels of this plan had
been sufficiently discussed, however,
the boys decided that such an initiation
would really be for the residents of the
North Adams road and discarded the
idea, substituting one which was quite
as effective for the candidate, but not
so disastrous for the neighbors.
This one incident shows that the
boys of Bob's cave were a resourceful
lot, and the book is amusing from
cover to cover.
There are illustrations by Victor
Perard.
