II Thomas A. Edison be Of a philo-
sophie mood when he opens his eyes
next Friday morning he can take for
his early morning musing the question
DO circumstances make the MANI" or
Does the man make the circum-
stances? % In his case it is a most i'm
portant case to decide.
Thomas a. Edison was born fifty
one years ago at Milan, Ohio, on Feb
luary II. At very early age he show
ed signs Of 4 certain hard working
genius which led his folks to put him
~ work even younger than their cir
cunstances would otherwise have had
them do.
Edison worked around from boy
mood to manhood at odd mechanical
Jobs and finally drifted to Canada,
where he performed his initial feat of
ingenuity by telegraphing with steam
whistle across Niagara Falls.
The telegraph lines We're down and
the railroad factory in which he was
employed could not communicate with
its branch Office on the other side of
the falls. Edison mounted the engine,
blew a couple of blasts to call atten-
lion to the sound, and then began tele-
graphing, using the regular telegraph
ers alphabet of long and short sounds
He was Immediately understood and
in an hour had the pleasure of talking
back and forth across the falls in very
fine shape.
But it was not until 1880 that the in
yentor began to attract much atten-
ton. Until that time. as he himself
SAYS, he was busy making things peo-
De did not want. But at the age of
lhirty-three he Caught on" and put
his talent to its right uses.

Like the Mayor OF Greater New
York. he resolutely refused all inyi-
tations and went nowhere except to
his own home from his laboratory.
But while attending 50 strictly to in
ventive affairs Thomas A. Edison was
living a very pretty home life, Early i'll
his career he married a wife who left him
an interesting family. Miss Marion FTi-
son, who has won many triumphs IN the
courts Of Russia and Germany, is his
daughter. After many years the Wizard
married again, and this time another fam
lily came to bless his quiet hearthstone,
He has a. very pretty little girl of FIVE,
who recently took part in private theatri-
Gals for charity in New York and a boy
still younger, whose physiognomy resem-
bles his father to such an extent that it
is thought and hoped that a Wizard, Jr..

he has never invented anything of y CHI
he is proud. 1t is a remarkable fact that,
once having invented a thing, he dislikes
it afterward and is said to walk blocks
out of his way to avoid an arc electro
light.
He dislikes fads ard foibles and has lit

geniuses who are always going to do

lie took Pauline In to dinner. The grand,
pale, passionate beauty OF the girl had never
shown to greater advantage than It did this
evening, as she sat with tho purple and Grim
ion fuchsias in her hair and tie broken lily
In her belt. Sir Oswald did not notice the
latter until dinner was half over. Then he
said:
why, Pauline, with gardens and hot
houses full of flowers, have you chosen .
broken one?'
ITO me it is exquisite, " she replied;
The captains face darkened for a moment,
but he would not take offence. The elegant
~ appointed table, the seductive dinner, the
rare wines, all made an impression on him.
He said to himself that there was a good
thing offered 10 him, and that a girls naughty
temper should not stand In his way. He
made himself most agreeable, he was all anil
nation, viyacity, and high spirits with Sir
Oswald. He was defercntisl and attentive
10 Miss Hastings. and his manner 10 Pauline
left no doubt in the minds OF the lockers on
that he was completely fascinated by her.
She was too proudly Indifferent, too haughti-
~ careless, even to resent 1t. Sir Oswald
Darrell was too true a gentleman 10 offer his
niece to any one: but he had given the cap
tain 10 understand that, if hc could WOO her
and win her, there would b. no objection
raised on his part.

that be true, it will raise my income many
thousands per annum."
MAY you long live to enjoy your wealth,
Sir Oswald.' said the young man, so hearth
~ that tears stood in the old baronets eyes.
But there was one thing the gallant cap
tain did not confess. lie did not tell Sir Os-
wald Darrcll-what was really the truth
that he was over head aud ears in debt, and
that this visit to Darrell Court was the last
hope left TO him.
