Frederick Douglass, as the recognized

leader of the colored race, had been

made minister to Haiti by President

Harrison. 3

Mr. Douglass did not get along well J

Crusoe,' 'The Last of the Mohicans,*

'Tom Sawyer,' etc., are representative.

"For girls there are 'Alice in Wonderland,'

'The Bird's Christmas Carol.'
