Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's Memoirs.

The late Sir Arthur Conan | Doyle began his biography in the Standard Magazine. The opening chapters tell the story of his boy-i hood and youth. Born at Picardy Place, Edinburgh, on May 22, 1869, the creator of Sherlock Holmes was the son of Charles Doyle, a Civil Servant of small means, a great artist, 'and one of four remarkable brothers. Sir Arthur's mother had to edu- cate a large family on an income which never exceeded £300 year, and so he was brought upi "in the hardy and bracing atmos phere of poverty."

He was not the man to spend hours perasing the Telephone Directory, so he spent an uneventful evening waiting for the second call. That was enough for him, he went out the next day and purchased the TELEPHONe handbook. Now he is able to tell in a few seconds who rang him up.

Contentment shows on the face of Mr. Tupman after his pur chase of the Handbook. His note book is the result of a survey of this book. He is genuinely satisfied, and does not regret buying this book of reference.
