IN THE PHILIPPINES

Verse and Pictures by PALMER COX

“The funniest, the most ludicrous and jolliest of all the Brownie books.” Newark Advertiser. “A more pleasing holiday gift for children cannot be found.”—Boston Herald. “It is likely that the substratum of truth that underlies all fun and fancy in this

book will be valuable, and to many give more actual information than reading long magazine articles.” Philadelphia Inquirer. “Two new figures are added to the Brownies, the Rough Rider and a Fisherman, whose figures are mischievously suggestive.”—Christian Advocate.
