A Fore Word:
Reading edition
This book is no arithmetic To vex the mind of youth; Its pages may, perhaps, appear To be devoid of truth. But by these tales the young who learn To recognize a lie, To that extent will know the truth, And profit much thereby.
Copyright, 1901, by Rand, McNally & Co., Chicago.
This Book is dedicated to MAE HARRIS ANSON EDITOR OF THE MINNEAPOLIS JOURNAL JUNIOR whose object is to amuse and educate children
