We think it very likely that Cuba will gain her freedom before long.
EDITOR.
DEAR MR. EDITOr:
I want to tell you of two books I have been reading. One is
called "Scottish Chiefs," and the other is called "The Days of
Bruce." I like them both very much. The "Scottish Chiefs" is a
story of the days of Sir William Wallace, and describes very
vividly the battles that took place.
"The Days of Bruce" is written on the same order as "Scottish
Chiefs." It tells of all the Scottish lords, and how the Bruce
finally became King of Scotland.
Yours truly,
HARVEY V.

We have received a new book for the little ones from Thompson, Brown &
Co., Boston--"Æsop and Mother Goose." It is arranged as a First Reader,
and a First Reader nowadays means something very bright and attractive.
This book seems to be no exception to this rule. Price is 30 cents, but
the publishers will mail your teacher a sample if eight (two-cent) stamps
are sent them, for they wish teachers to see the book.
