our publishers continue to honor IN

ance the sensible custom, introduced
few years ago, of indicating on the
slip-covers Of their books for the young

custom is a real aid to the hurried, and
even to the leisurely buyer of juvenllia
for sons and daughters and nephews
and nieces and the children of friends
and acauaintances; while, finally, the
bookseller must bless the publisher
who to this extent lightens his labors.

The Junior Trophy" Now, Mr.. Bar
bour is a best-seller among our boys,
and deservedly so. Moreover, their
seniors can always implicitly trust
him. He tells manly, straightforward
tales, whose teaching is sound and ef-
fectiye because ii is never obtruded, ann
he provides good measure of plot, ac-
ton and incident. Around the End
which, OF course, deals with football,
is another tale of the Yardley Han
which has been the scene Of so many
OF Mr.. Barbour's earlier tales: THE
Junior Trophy" which one would judge
will furnish ample entertainment TO
boys from ten to fourteen, is concerned
with hockey and baseball. but also
with a revolt of juniors against seniors
in a private school, and with the ad-
ventures of boy who ran away, saved
a train from being ditched, and thus
became a hero.

COWBOY HEROES.

THE COMING OF CASSIDY. AND THE
OTHERS. BY Clarence +. milford. IL
lustrations by Maynard Dixon. l2mor
PIP. 43S. Chicago: a. c, McClurg & Co.
Those who remember the strenuous
delights of Mr.. Mulford's tales of cow
boy life WILL no doubt, be glad to have
this collection of short stories from his
pen, in which he takes us to the begin
nings of the Bar-20 Ranch, and relates
in detail the earlier story of the mem
bers Of the outfit" One learns, for
instance, how Hopalong acquired his
curious sobriquet. For the rest, there
is hardly a page here without the
without wild shooting and marvellous
craftsmanship without the conflict OF
cowboys and rustlers, Of honest men
and villains, without that drily humor-
Gus, highly figurative dialect which has
gradually become one of the traditions
of Western fiction. These tales deal
with the period of the IO's and early
SOS, the days Of the last frontier" Of
the vanishing buffalo and the Indian
danger, when holding up trains was a
flourishing enterprise. Those who like
the romance of the wild life Of the time
and the place will here find it raised to
the nth degree. The stories are too
strenuous TO be read through in one
sitting. In fact, to do so produces an
effect Of monotony in violence. But
taken up at odd moments they are
lively reading, indeed. And, below the
somewhat horid idealization Of their
manly virtues, these cowboys are real
men.
