A. Stokes Company places the book in

sions. The pictures Of his childhood in
Ireland, Of his boyhood In Indiana and
his struggles for an education are
charming. while his persistent lights
for a place In tho world and for tho girl
he loved should encourage other youths
who meet with early difficulties. The
story Of his business success also has It's
lessons, though It has not so much
human interest as that OF the primitive
years. 1t Is interrupted by generous
tributes to the friends he made as he
