GENERAL LEW WALLACE.
1ndianian Famous as IN Author, Sol
dicr aud Diplomat.


Within q short time General lew
Wallace will be TS years old. lie was
born in Brookville, Franklin County,
Ind, in 1877. lie has been in the
thick Of political. military and literary
life since the Mexican war, which he
entered before he had attained his ma.
jority and from which he emerged q
young lieutenant, covered with honors.
Apparently nothing in his whole won.
derful career to which he has set his
hand has been done other than well.
Possibly the least success attained by
him was as lawyer, which career he
embraced I'm his early manhood. After
the stirring events of the Civil War,
from which he emerged q major gen.
eral, he took up for brief period the
practice Of the legal profession. lie
was not wealthy in those days and
some career was necessary. But he did
not like the law, and gradually, with
diplomatic work intcrsperscd. he un.
dertook the work of litterateur, In
which he has made. If comparisons
are possible in so well.rounded q life,
his most distinguished success.
AS the author of Ben-IIur General
Wallace Is known in practically every
country of the globe. No other book
since the days Of Pilgrims Progress
has been so widely read. An estimate
indicates that from the total number
Of editions of the book that have been
sold at least 4.OoOoOO people have

tended the general knowledge of the
story and added largely as well to the
fame and profit of the author.
by every right of ancestry General
Wallace Is entitled to the distinct ton
which he has achieved. lie was ITO
the manner born" his father, David
Wallace. having been elected Govern.
or Of Indiana In 1887 and to Congress
In 1912 from the indianapolis district.
The father was man OF strong parts
and Of illustrlous ancestry. In his
youthful days General Wallace dis.
played tendency to neglect the on.
pOrtunities which his fathers position
gave him. lie. hated books and
schools. and remained ut school only
SO long as 1t was impossible to avoid.
In this manner he acquired but little
real fundamental education.
Previous to the outbreak of the
Mexican war General Wallace had I'm.
dertaken the study Of law. When the
call for soldiers came he was among
the first to enlist. lie was not yet 20
years old. but his services were so
merltOrlOus that he came back from
the war n lieutenant. At the close Of
the war he married Susan A. Elston,
widow Of u pioneer Of rawforlsville,
and the two have lived happily togeth.
or ever since Their tastes are con.
genial. Mrs. Wallace herself being an
author who has achieved much sue.

published. Among the best-knOwn Of
her writings Is Along the Bosphorus,"
story the material for which was &C.
cumulated during the time General
Wallace was minister to Turkey. to
which post he was appointed by Gen.
eral Garfield with the understanding
that he avail himself of the opportunl.
~ to write another novel Of the Orr.
ent that should follow the lines Of
Ben-IIur. The result Of this promise
was The Prince OF India" a novel
which quickly attained popularity and
which for II time threatened to out.

written "The City Of the King" "The

she famlllarlzed herself during the SO.

llshed.
The story OF the writing of "The
Prince of India" Is an interesting one.
When Garfield was elected President
he sent for Wallace, who was close
personal friend, and during the con-
versation offered to make him minister
to Constantinople on the condition that
