| More Goals Than One, by Edward
Stratemeyer Fourth Volume OF the
| "Lakeport Series; illustrated by Ar
thur O. Scott cloth: Price $1.25: Bos-
ton: Lothrop, Lee & Shepard Co.
A football story at this season OF
the year is peculiarly timely when
the interest of Young America is cen
tered on this great sport. The fact
| that this story is by Edward Strate-
meyer, the most widely read of all
| writer's for boys, and that it deals
| with the popular boys of Lakeport,
| whose pluck and manly qualities, have
won them a host of friends, Will IN
sure this stirring narrative cordlal
welcome from the live boys of this
country. 1t is a story that Will APP
peal to them for it deals with the kind
of boys whom it is a pleasure Tor
them to associate with, and whom
they delight to know. How the boys
of Lakeport form a football team, and
the exciting contests in which they
engaged for the Lake Pennant are
told with the vividness and interest
that have made the stories of Mr..
Stratemeyer so deservedly popular
with boy readers.
The boys had a college man to
brilliant plays, some of which are de-
scribed in detail. How the quarter
back helped his rival of the gridron
to get away from his enemiesl and
reach the field in time, and then de-
feated him, is strikingly told. But the
story is not all football, and some
Jolly times on the water and on an is
land are depicted; and the author
shows how a youth, intensely shrink
ing, overcame his timidity and made
something of himself by simply saying
Il will'' and sticking to it. r
Sure Dart, by F. H. CASTILLO, A
Story of Strange Game and Stranger
Hunters in the days of Monsters.
Cloth; illustrated by Walter !. En-
right Price $1.25. Chicago: A. C. Nc
Clurg & Co.
This is a story entirely outside of
conventional lines inasmuch as it
deals with those days which scientists
call prehistoric 1t relates the thrill
ing adventures of Sure Dart and his
friend HopFoot, two sturdy young
strange monsters that then roamed
the earth, to the constant test of their
courage, and the peril of their lives.
What makes their exploits all the
more remarkable is the fact that they
are performed at a time when fire
arms were undreamed of and the best
weapon known was q roughlyflake
stone spear or axe. Strange as the
monsters described in this book may
seem to boys of the present day and
generation there can be no doubt, but
what they once existed on this earth,
and the author has portrayed them
with all the accuracy that the scien-
tific study of their remains permits.
Like the other books that have have
come from the pen of this popular
Maine author it has all the qualities
to win and hold the absorbing interest
of boy readers. Older people, too, will
not fail to find it both entertaining
and instructive.
