want of another apprentice at the time. In
the spring Of 1893, the Christian Intelligcn
GER at Gardiner, which was then published
by James Dckman, (who had just succeed
ed Parker Sheldon) advertised for hoy to
learn the printing business" ! secured the
place and entered the Office as ''devil' on the
18th of June in that year. The Rev. Will
liam A Drew, the life long friend Of our fam
lily and who is still living at Augusta, was
the editor.
In the summer of 1884, the concern went
to pieces. | then went to LivermOrc and
pursued my studies in the Office Of my uncle,
the late Hon Ruel Washburne, prepared my
self for teaching school the following winter.
Early in the summer of 1885, Mr.. Severance

finish my trade with him. lost no time in
