THE STORY OF
PHILADELPHIA
Told by Robert Shackleton
With a Wealth of Interesting
anecdotes and Incident

Many books have been written about
Philadelphia, but of the lot none has
been more entertaining than Robert
ShackietoRs THE Book OF Philadelphia.
Mr., Shackleton has told the story OF the
city, not for the dry-as-dust historians,
but for the average man and woman.
He gives all the essential facts about the
he has embroidered them with a wealth
of Incident and anecdote which lures one
from chapter to chapter whether one
Wills or not.
He devotes about two pages to stephen
Girard and In that brief space he makes
much more human figure Of tho lone
some old merchant than some other
writer's have been able to produce in two
volumes He retails the gossip about the
mother OF Franklin's son. William, who
became Colonial Governor of New Jer
sey, supposedly through the influence of
his English kinsmen. He discusses the
pride OF the city in ancestry and its
dependence for its development on the
energy OF men who were not born here,
from franklin down through the years
to some Of the men who have raised
the city to an eminence in their respec-
tive businesses cqualed by no other
American cities. He talks Of the Assem-
bly, balls and the wistar parties as a
matter OF course. He has many things
to say OF the actors who were born here
or who won fame in the local theaters
He tells the story OF Caesar Rodneys
ride of eighty miles from his home in
Delaware to the State House In order
to turn the vote of his State in favor
of the Declaration of Independence and
regrets that the ride has not been
adequately celebrated In verse. There
are chapters on the old churches with
interesting gossip about them, including
the story Of the punctilious society ma
tron of st. Peters who on her death
bed asked her husband not to invite her
friends to her funeral as she could not
return their calls. And OF course Mr.
Shackleton includes the suburbs and
takes his readers out the Old York road
and to Valley Forge and as far west as
Lancaster.
The book is handsomely illustrated
with full page pictures from photo
graphs and innumerable pen sketches by
r. l.. Boyer and Herbert Pulinger.

BOOKS FOR CHILDREN AND GROWN FOLKS
ADVENTURES OF
TYL ULENSPIEGEL
Retold by Charles de Coster
So Well That His Tale Is the
Bible of Flanders

Tyl Ulenspiegel, or Till Eulenspiegel
the name Is spelled variously--was
famous hero of German folklore, sup
posed to have been born at the end of
the thirteenth or the beginning Of the
fourteenth century. He died near Lu-
beck in 1850. The story of his exploits,
his practical jokes and his villainies was
told In a book published in Germany IN
the middle Of the sixteenth century. 1t
has been translated into all the Ian
guages Of Europe. Charles de Coster, a
Belgian writer, took this story as the
basis of a book which he wrote In 1927
and called "The Legend Of the Glorious
Adventures Of Tyl Ulenspiegel" He
Axes town in Flanders as the place Of
the birth of Tyl and the date he brings
forward TO the sixteenth century during
the reign of Charles Of Spair and few
years before his notorious son Philip sue
cceded him De Coster makes It a tale
OF the persecution Of the Flemish by
their Spanish conquerors and of both
the political and the religious persecu-
ton. 1t is the story OF the protest of
the poor against the oppression of rhe
rich and the struggles of a people for
freedom. Tyl is the popular hero, and
at the close he is described as the soul
OF Flanders which cannot be killed. whil,
Nele. his sweetheart, is the heart of
Flanders which beats sympathetically
for all human suffering. DeCoster has
made use Of his materials with discrim.-
nation and has transformed them as
Shakespeare transformed the old plays
which he rewrote. Ills book has been
so popular In Belgium and northern
France that for years 1t has been known
as the Bible of Flanders. It's first trans
lation into English Is now published in
England and America. No one can read
1t without getting a more vivid impress
sion of the sixteenth century than he had
before. and when he has read It he will
understand why the Flemish have loved
1t almost as their very lives. 1t ID one
OF the great classics OF European litera-
ture. The original has been somewhat
abridged In the translation. but for those
VINO cannot read It in French It will
serve It's purpose admirably.

Running Fox. Indian Hero

If yoy want to delight the heart of
some boy with a virile tale of the sort
any normal lad will like, make it pos
slble for him to read the adventures OF
Running Fox, the son OF Black Panther,
the famous Delaware Indian war-chief.
who sets out at the age of sixteen
winters to learn the secret of the power
of the Delaware's great enemy, Standing
Wolf, the unconquerable Mohawk leader.
The pilgrimage of Running Fox to the
Mohawk camp and the exciting events
which happen there make reading of the
sort no boy would reject. And in Run
ming Fox. the author has pictured a
manly young Indian. who in his cleanli-
ness typifies the high character and
principles Of the Atlantic Coast Indians.
The author has devoted considerable
study to Indian lore and his descriptions
of Indian life and customs are based on
actual fact. 1t Is worth noting that he
acknowledges his indebtedness for some
of this material to the Lenape- English
dictionary, published by the Historical
Society OF Pennsylvania.
