a young soldier lay dying. A Christian

TT happened one day that some of the
members Of The school committee were
examining the pupils ,indrawing. With
downcast eyes Robert timidlyf held up
his specimens amid the balfsuppressed
laughter Of his comrades,
"Don't be ashamed, my my boy" said
one whom We will call NI@. CuFiss:: "I
made worse looking trees and horses when

it to The boy, saying, ';;There, see what
can be done BY perseverance.
This little Incident gave Rob ,rt a

him as solid capital,well invested. 81 ai1
Several iyesrs after, Mr.. .Curtiss, was
extollng some architectural drawings
which friend had shown him. He
commended in the highest terms both
the designs and their style Of execution!
"The architect considers himself indob,
