of truth and humor. One of the first stories by an
American that tell what America has done and is doing "over there." It
is a tale such as Mark Twain would have written had he lived to do his
bit in France.

Two "short, fat, bald, middle-aged, inland Americans" cross over to
France with commissions from the Red Cross. Their experiences are told
in a bubbling humor that is irresistible. The sober common sense and the
information about the work going on in France--the way our men take hold
and the French respond--go to make this the book all Americans have long
been waiting for.

The inimitable sketches of Tony Sarg, distributed throughout, lend a
clever, human atmosphere to the text.

A Certain Rich Man

By WILLIAM ALLEN WHITE

Author of "What's the Matter with Kansas?"

Cloth, 12mo, $1.50

The absorbing story of the career of a remarkable money-maker and his
associates. A powerful book full of United States life and colour,
taking front rank among the best modern novels.

"It pulsates with humour, interest, passionate love, adventure,
pathos--every page is woven with threads of human nature, life as we
know it, as it is, and above it all a spirit of righteousness, true
piety, and heroic patriotism. These inspire the author's genius and fine
literary quality, thrilling the reader with tenderest emotion, and
holding to the end his unflagging and absorbing interest."--G. W. O. in
_Philadelphia Public Ledger_.

"This novel has a message for to-day, and for its brilliant character
drawing, and that gossipy desultory style of writing that stamps Mr.
White's literary work, will earn a high place in fiction. It is good and
clean and provides a vacation from the cares of the hour. It resembles a
Chinese play, because it begins with the hero's boyhood, describes his
long, busy life, and ends with his death. Its tone is often religious,
never flippant, and one of its best assets is its glowing descriptions
of the calm, serene beauties of nature. Its moral is that a magnate
never did any real good with money."--_Oregonian_, Portland, Oregon.
