to attack the house of Mighty Mouth

in when Mighty Mouth awoKe to his
danger. But he was not to be out
done by any mere COLLINS. He had
proclaimed already that he was a hob

what that was he had them all guess
ing. Rousing his wife, he told her
what she was to say, and then sent
her to light a fire and start to cook
supper. Soon after Mighty Mouth
followed her,
How is this?" he cried in a loud
voice, where are the COLLINS brought
home yesterday and told you to cook
for me?"
His wife pretended to be frightened
at his tone. ooh, beg you will not
be angry" she shouted, but when the
children came home to-day they took

But the COLLINS did not wait to hear

This tale is from India; in the col
lection are others from all over the
world, Irish, Georgian, Japanese.
Swedish, American Indian and Czech,
all very well told and many of them
quite new to this part of the world.
and underlying most of them Is that
curious resemblance of plot which runs
through the folk lore of all nations
Most of the stories are of the Jack the
Giant Killer type and should not be
used on very young children. They
are recommended for boys and girls OF
10 to IS; at this age they should be
harmless, and their diverse origin and
novelty of interest will make them in
teresting at the lesser of these ages IL
not later. The illustrations, by the
author. are fairly good, and altogether
the book will make an attractive
Christmas gift.

During the week of November Is

be observed. | should like to say why
consider this an important and laud-
able undertaking.
at is extremely necessary at this
time of shifting ideas and conpieXity
of living that. the people Of our great
nation should early i'm life learn to
know and appreciate the best that
has gone before in the experience and
aspirations Of the race. Thy can
most easily do this through the me-
dunn of books. The Importance Of
good books in the formation Of worth
while character and in the stimulus
toward lofty ideals can hardly be over
estimated
Besides this, cannot great pleasure
bc derived in later life from acquaint-
ance with the best that has been
written in the past? Just as The
Book is source of inspiration and
power to those who read and study
1t. so likewise childhood has memories
of golden hours spent i'm exploring
the contents of a well chosen library.
While memory dwells largely on the
characters and achievements Of the
heroes and heroines, the will Il fired
to achieve and the soul is uplifted to
serve.
IN good book is the best Of friends
always with you ana always the
same. Do your part TO see that the
children you know have well chosen
books from which they may learn the
truth and the truth shall make them
