Furlough lodge itself is built of logs
with the bark on. 1t was originally
not more than a cabin, but year by
year additions have been made until

OF his time. but he gives attention TO
certain phases of railroad administra-

himself. Both Edwin and Howard
started in 10 take a college course at
Columbia, but both gave it up before
the time for graduation
IL was hoped by his brothers and
sisters that the youngest son. Frank,
could be induced to do what the others
had not and go through the entire
course. His desire TO leave school and
begin active life proved quite as strong
with him as his brothers. however. and
he left Columbia after taking the en-
gineering course. He began his career
in the Western Union building by learn
ing the telegraph key, as his brother
George had done before him, and Is
now an expert operator. He occupies
room in company with his brother
Howard and uses the broad fiat topped
desk at which his father used to sit
George does not now use the key as
often as he used to, the telephone hav-
ing displaced the telegraph to such an
extent that the fittings of his desk no
longer include a sender and receiver
But he has not forgotten how to send
good Morse, and there are instruments
in his room so near TO his chair that he
can write over the wire without incon-
venience whenever he pleases.
