Carrot A. Hobart was em.nentIy sue
cessful, both in business and politics His
reputation as man Of affairs and as one
Of the shrewdest business men in the coun-
try was, perhaps, greater than his reputa-
ton as political leader and as states
man until his election to the vice presi-
dency three years ago. Mr.. Hobart was
born in 1874 at Long Branch, N. J. His
ancestors On his fathers side were Eng
lish and on his mothers side Dutch.
Thirty-three years ago he was gradu-
ated from Rutgers college and began
teaching school. Three months later he
entered upon the study Of law with Soc
rates futile, prominent lawyer in Pas
sale county, N. J., and who was at that
time mayor Of Paterson. Young Hobar.
Is said to have arrived at Paterson with
but $50 in his pocket, and from this small
beginning he made his way unaided to
wealth and prominence.
In 1869 he was admitted to the bar, and
the same year he married the daughter of
Mr.. futile. Mr.. Hobart made his way
rapidly at the bar Of his native state, and
his bent led him early into politics. In
1871 he was made city attorney of Pater-
son and In 1872 was elected to the state as
sembly, of which body he was chosen
speaker in the following year.
From 1884 to 1896 he was a member Of
the national republican executive commit
tee, and had much to do with the manage
yment Of the national campaigns during
those II years. During all these years his
business connections became broader and
broader. His keen insight into affairs made
his advice apd counsel Of such value that
he was sought after by some Of the largest
corporations in the country and at the
time Of his election as vice president he
was director In no less than 60 different
companies.
Mr.. Hobart left but one child, Carrot A.
Hobart Jr., q boy Of IA. Fanny, girl Of
Y, died in 1855 in Italy. while there with

gun made of cast steel. The weapon
was built at the Otis works of Cleve-

In the test the new piece successfully
withstood powder pressure in the
chamber of approximately $4,000
pounds to the square inch. The service
pressure demanded of the present army
built-up gun are 16 tons to the square
inch, and the navy weapons are sub

the new cast steel gun far exceeded the
army pressures.
/ Six shots were fired from DR.. Cat

weighing 1872 pounds, the mex. two 1875
pounds, and each of the last three LAP
pounds, with the result that the new
gun exhibited no sign of strain.

was a boy" said Georgia member
Ibis father reared him with an iron
hand. He made him do everything
he attempted; if he failed he got
whipped. The elder Brown didn't whip
the coming senator through any ex-
cess of cruelty, but it was his system.
He proposed to make every failure OF
his son cost smartingly. This would
promote endeavor; he would try with
might and main not to fail, and the
elder Brown was confident this would
do him world of good.
"It gives my son Joe an. incentive
to success said the elder Brown. I'm
not rich enough to offer system of
rewards and bait my. boy to victory;
but, thank heaven, I'm strong,
healthy man and can inaugurate sys-
tenn of punishments and belt him into
being winner
''The old gentleman's system had
points, and may have served, in its re-
moter effects, to save the senator's
life.
young Joe liked to hunt gray squir-
rels. The elder Brown had no obiec-
tons. He would outfit young Joe with
the family rifle, an eight-square, with
q barrel about five feet long. Then he
would measure out a dozen charges
of powder and bestow upon him Z
