fact beyond doubt. He has produced
what has long been needed-a common

young mans life are covered here. MIR.
Bok's first chapter on the great essential
of all success, "a Correct knowledge of
| Ones Self" and how to obtain that
knowledge, is excellent, while his second
chapter on what Really is Suecess?"
will answer question that thousands of
young men are asking. The answer is
fresh, concise and directly TO the point.
He takes up the business side of young
mans life, and writes with great clear
ness. One of the best chapters in the
book deals with young mans Social
| Life and Amusements." Then in sue
cession he treats of Sowing His Wild
Oats" MATTERS of Dress" His Re-
lgious Life" "His Attitude Toward
! Women" and THE Question of Mar

wastes no words, but writes directly to
the point

Paddy O'Learey and His Learned
Pig'' is by Elizabeth w. Champney, au-
thor of The Witch Winnie Books" 1t
is one of the brightest little stories we
have read for some time. 1t is told in the
rollicking Irish style and Paddy ia a real
genus of the country. The story of his
wanderings with his learned pig is for the
most part told with frolicsome fun, but il
is not without touches Of pathos W mich
make US Ieel the realness of Mrs. Champ
neys creation. The other characters in
the book are subsidiary, but they are
skillfully introduced to play part in the
little comedy which Is adroitly made to
furnish an object lesson in temperance.
