Update 3/31: I just noticed that it takes no time at all now for a work to go from PG to Amazon Kindle. I’m not surprised, but I’m not particularly pleased, either. It wouldn’t be so bad if it was free, but it’s not. And yes, I’m certain it’s from the PG source.

“Say Fellows—”: Fifty Practical Talks with Boys on Life’s Big Issues, by Wade C. Smith (1921). (Biblical) advice to young men about life.

Wade C. Smith is not exactly easy to find on the web. The Library of Congress lists a birthdate of 1869, but no death date. And according to kingkong, there is a pseudonym “Wade Smith” used by Charles Horace Snow — an extremely prolific author of westerns. Is it the same person? Who knows?
