NEW ALGER BOOKS

JOE, THE HOTEL BOYOr, Winning Out by PluckBy HORATIO ALGER, Jr.Illustrated, 12mo. Cloth, 60 cents

This is one of the last stories penned by that prince of all juvenile writers, Horatio Alger, Jr., and is one of his best. It describes the adventures of a youth brought up in the country by an old hermit. When the hermit dies the boy obtains work at a nearby hotel, and later on drifts to the city and obtains a position in another hotel. There is a mystery concerning the lad’s identity and likewise the disappearance of a certain blue box, but in the end all terminates satisfactorily.

BEN LOGAN’S TRIUMPHOr, The Boys of Boxwood AcademyBy HORATIO ALGER, Jr.Illustrated, 12mo. Cloth, 60 cents

This story was penned by Mr. Alger some years before his death, but has never appeared in book form. Ben was a city newsboy, rather rough, but with a heart of gold. He did a great service for a good-hearted farmer, and the latter took Ben home with him. The lad had never been in the country before, and his eyes were opened to a new world. Then the youth was sent to a boarding school, where he made his way to the front amid many difficulties. Mr. Alger’s charm as a juvenile writer is so well known it is needless to mention it here, and this story is in his best vein.
