Pei haps Mr. Hubbard's gieatest
achievement was his "Message to Gar
cia," which l cached the dlstlncttlon of
being pi luted nine million times In one
year. Ills "Little Journeys to the Hoiiips
of Great Men" have become a valued
addition to (lie llbr.uy of classics. As an
American, as an author, a publisher
and printer, he Is a distinct type, n
character that has no parallel In his
time or any other time. People who
read and admire the keen sarcasm of
"The Philistine" with a mental pro
test will nevertheless Hock to henr this
man with the head of a medieval monl-,

spirit that despises sham and pretense,
Mr. Hubbard Is a cousin of Miss Lea
