When Great Men

In writing biographies, authors have a
way of skipping .oyer the childhood of

In which Mrs. Scarlet and her son Hob
rodo to town back of old Blacklo. It

for quite tho allotted 100 years, the
author, Claude M. -Girardeau, refrains
from having it fall to pieces, nnd when
tho book ends, the venerable wagon Is
still In tho running,' or Jogging, If you
will. The story a quaint, homely tale
ot plain folks Is partly about life In
Philadelphia .and partly about the odd
doings at tho seashore home of the Scar

but there's lots of good, wholesome
character drawing, ami Kome'very whole-'

Ono significant fcaturo Is woven Into
all tho stories of castaways that wo can
recall, from "Iloblnson Crusoo" down to
the productions of tho present period.
Every ono of them managed to save from

This Is tho question which A. Hyatt
Verrill put to himself one flno day, and

personal experience Just whnt would real

human habitation so essential to tho ad
