Brief Reviews and Notices

Famous Leaders of Industry. By Ed
win Wildman. Published by Page
Co., Boston. Price, 81.
This volume is the second of the
series of the same name. 1t aims to
present brief, succinct account of
the rise and success of those men
who stand at the head of American
business. 1t is a fact that the great
majority of successful leaders in this
country-in the business, profession
al and industrial worlds-are self
made men. They began usually with
out that background of wealth and
family prestige which is considered
so necessary by many people if one is
to reach the summit of achievement.
The unfolding of their careers, there
fore, ordinarily furnishes material for
most interesting and instructive
tale. The obstacles that beset their
paths, the disadvantages under which
they labored and the rebuffs they en-
countered, all contribute to, making
that tale real romance of struggle
and triumph.
Thus, in this book we have brief
sketches of the lives of twenty-eight
men whose names are known to prac-
tically every American. Amony them
is wide variety, thus showing the
same principle running through all
their lives. A few of these are the fol-
lowing: Carnegie, Goethals, Ebert
Gary, Charles Comiskey, Hartman,
Hoover, James J. Hill, Frank Munsey,
Lee Shubert, Theodore Vail. Each
narrative is little gem in itself
and the reader lays down the book
with spirit of thankfulness for such
records and Frightening of his own
particular armament. The volume
will be of special interest and value
to the young person.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR
VALUE OF WEARING SOME CATH
oLlc EMBLEM.
Denton, Texas,
December s.. 1921.

DGCemDeF o., 1Szl.
To the Editor:
The Catholic Bulletin of December
3, has one item headed: '1dentifica-
ton as Catholic" 1t so happened
that young driver of truck was
found in a dying condition by the
doctors who, on seeing badge of the
Sacred Heart pinned to his coat,
knew he was Catholic. Then the
priest, who was near at hand, gave
the young man dissolution. Young
men, have you a badge of the Sacred
Heart? Suppose you meet with an ac-
cident and are made speeches.. But
not only young men should be deco
rated with some Catholic emblem; all
would do we'll to be so marked Are
We not too often towards in prac-
ticing our faith openly and fearless
ly? Honorable non-Catholics greatly
admire Catholics who are proud of
their faith.

The ancient kingdom of Sheba
groaned under the usurper's heel.
Armud, the tyrant, taking the
throne by treachery, held it by ruth
less deeds. The maidens of Sheba
shuddered at his name, and men who
had wives or daughters muttered in
impotent rage.
Sheba the beautiful, the rightful
ruler dwelt with her father in their
tent by the seashore. Proud in their
poverty, she and her sister Nomis
knew that in their veins flowed the
blood of kings, and prayed for the
day when the people, reused to fury
by Armud's cruelties, would rise
and dethrone him.
Thinking to deal a death blow to
his enemies, Armud seized Nomis
and carried her off to his palace.
Scoring his embraces, she drowned
herself in a pool. Sheba swore to
avenge her sister and lay the usurper
