resolved toleayc the pillow and become
4 lawyer like Rufus ChOa:e.
He accordingly went to Boston,
called on Mr.. Choate, and said to
him: Il heard you plead in our town,
and l have a desire to become law
yer like you. VIII you teach me
howl"
"As well as can" said the great
lawyer. "Come and sit down."
Taking down copy Of Blackstone,
he said: 'Read this until l come
back, and will see how You get on. "
The poor boy began. An hour
passed. His back achcd, his head
ached. lie knew not how to study.
Every moment became a torture
He wanted air. Another hour pass

such stuff as this?'
"Yes.::
