I Thla la cot a new utterance, but fell from the llpa of Mr. Train In 1872. when, to use hie own words, he "was making a hopeless fight for the presidency." He now reiterates these words in a book of his life which he haa lust published. This volume contains aa Interesting stbry of the interesting Ufa of this Interesting man. This story Is told In something like 150,000 words, all of which eome. not from Mr. Traln'a pen, but from his lips. For they were dictated to a tenographer who went from day to day to the humble room of the old gentleman In the little Mills hotel In New Tork City. The author tella his readers that he has tried to compress a story of his life Into thla book, for it could not be completely told In a single volume. For thirty years. Train saya, he haa been a silent recluse, "remote from the world In my little comer In the Mills hotel, think ing and waiting patiently." He breaks this long spell of silence and consents to give 'the world a story of his thrilling life at the : request of a friend.
