His first venture ofself sustenanc,

lation, a testimonial, leaflet OF

remembrance.
He was a boy IN age, when on a
J. gloomy day in December, he came
cheerily in and took off his coat.
n But few words and his line IN ser.
vice was indicated; his work begun.
Before the close of the day he stood
a man, resolute, reliant. Under
cable management" newspaper
office is proverblally known as the
''most mussed up place in the
world"
He subordinated the incongruous
conditions to method. He some
how Strengthened things out; got
scissors and past pot, pencils and
pens IN places where they could be
got when wanted. He discovered
articles Of use unknown to any but
the mice of the office. He utilized
into service stuff cast aside as use
less, and saved more than his salary
from things allowed to waste. Sys-
TEN, care, economy characterized his
work, and soon made impress upon
every branch of the business. He
was exacting in all the business he
transacted, honest, faithful and un-
tiring. He didn't watch the clock.
1t might be eight hours a day; if
need be, it was eighteen. He was
as dutiful to the SENTINEL as though
it were his guardian; as faithful as
though all his hopes rested with it,
lie conld be trusted any where and
at all times.
His presence was sunshine. His
cheerfulness dispelled the blues that
so often would settle on the delin-
quent subscription list, and grin at
an unpaid paper bill. He had
way of collecting and paying that !:
impressed us all with feeling of
awe as well as admiration, aud lift
ed clouds that often lowered on pay {
day with impending calamity.
His manners gave tone to the =
boys about him; clean, civil, gen
teel; frank in expression; polite and
courteous in address, he worked and a
talked and walked the gentleman, and 4

night, all his heart; shirk ed no duty,
