This book is dedicated to my fellow-writers of the Canadian Press. The
merits of the book are due to their efforts for I have helped myself
lavishly to their best brains.
I have long been of the opinion that a genius is a man who knows a good
thing when he steals it, and this is the first time I have had a chance
to steal on an ambitious scale. I have stolen much, and if I had had
more time, I would have stolen more.
