in which is given the romantic account of the mutiny on board the English sloop of war "Bounty," and the subsequent adventures of the mutineers. A book of thrilling interest. Contains 266 pages and is well illustrated.

Regular price in cloth, $1.00.

POLITICAL SPEECHES AND DEBATES

Edited by Alonzo T. Jones

This book contains the public speeches and debates of Abraham Lincoln and Stephen A. Douglas from 1854 to 1861, also Lincoln's great speech at Gettysburg and his second Inaugural Address. The principles over which these giants of the political arena contended are again manifesting themselves, hence it is important that we become intelligent concerning them, and this volume will greatly aid to that end.

Then again, Lincoln's speeches were always to the point, and afford good examples of effective use of the English language, and are well worthy of study on that account alone.

It contains 555 pages, and the regular price in cloth is $1.75.
