Pawnee Hero Stories and Folk-Tales, 



With the Notes of the Origin, Customs and Character of the 

 Paunee People. By Geoege Bibd Grinnell. 



CLOTH, 417 PAGES. ILLUSTRATED. PRICE, $2.00. 



These tales are as unique as the "Uncle Kemus'' stories and quite 

 as original, ingenuous, characteristic and full of human nature. The 

 race here pictures itself with unconscious fidelity. No such absolutely 

 faithful portrayal of the Indians has ever before been given. For 

 this quality, apart from the popular interest of the stories, the book 

 is destined to make a more profound and lasting impression than 

 even that created by "Kamona." 



I. low to MM ill Furnish this. 



By WILLIAM 5 WICKS. 



The book is thoroughly practical. Every step in the process of construction is ex- 

 plained. The author is an architect who has himself built log cabins, and very handsome 

 ones, too, as shown in the plates. The designs are numerous and varied. Plans are 

 given for cabins, large and small, with details of exterior and interior finish; and there 

 are also some very useful directions for constructing temporary shelters — the Indian 

 camp, brush house and bark camp. The furnishing consists of tables, chairs, bedstead 

 and other articles, all made of the material at hand, and in keeping with the style of 

 the house. The illustrations are numerous and helpful. Price $1.50.

611 Hints and Points for Sportsmen. 



Compiled by Seneca. Price, $1.50 



Of this book the New York Herald says; "If there are any sportsmen so wise that 

 they cannot learn something from this little book, their modesty prevents their fellow- 

 men kncwing it. The compiler seems to have thought of everything from managing 

 fine guns to snelling hooks, tying knots and skinning eels. He has chapters on rifles and 

 shotguns, hunting and trapping, fishing, camping, dogs, boating, yachting, camp making 

 cooking, surgery and medicine, and one headed "miscellaneous" seems to include every- 

 thing which the others have ommitted,"
