The popularity of the Parables of Safed the Sage has grown steadily since the appearance of the first of them in the summer of 1915. The Mississippi Mate, whose language was most unlike to that of the pulpit, but whose essential message was not wholly different, introduced this series in that year, and provoked so much of mirth and wholesome reflection that other articles in the same vein followed. The series on the Hollyhocks fairly launched the author upon his career as a grower of those beautiful flowers, bringing him seed from many readers, and requests for seed from the Hollyhocks of Safed. In some respects this is a unique form of instruction; in others it is very ancient. The things of ordinary life are taken as suggestions for practical lessons. This is a form of instruction not only time-honored, but inevitable. We are continually advancing from the known to the unknown, and interpreting spiritual things in the light of things tangible. But Safed's method is wholly his own. His combination of things new and old is unlike that of any other writer of his generation. Two volumes of his Parables have already appeared in book form. The third is presented herewith. The publishers are confident that wherever it goes, home life will be more wholesome, childhood will appear more lovable, and common things will be seen to be full of valuable lessons.

Excerpt from Hero in Homespun: A Tale of the Loyal SouthI desire to thank the friends - too many to be named - who during the last twelve years have aided me in the securing of incidents for this under taking. F or aid in gathering historical material, I am especially indebted to Mr. Arthur M. Knapp of the Boston Public Library. I wish also to acknowledge the courtesy of the railroads passing to and through the region described, the Big Four; the Southern the Queen and Crescent; the Nashville, Chattanooga, and St. Louis; the Louis ville and Nashville; and the Knoxville, Cumberland Gap, and Louisville.
