mans marvellous versatility.
Now comes the flower story, the real
story of his home life and of the love-
ly lady who has shared his fortunes.
If it had been told before all this hap
pened, that there was a man in Bos-
ton who wanted a flower to the extent
of being willing to pay 1000 for it,
Thomas W. Lawson would have been
picked out by those who know him
as being Just that sort of man.
Thomas F. Calvin, the famous florist
of Bostons Back Bay, secured a new,
enormous and bewitehing carnation
which he promptly named after Mr..
Lawsons wife, with that lady's per-
mission. The flower took first prize in
the Boston, New York, Philadelphia
and Chicago competitive carnation ex-

not leave Boston. His letter to the
forist was characteristic:

but there are a few things they must

named for Mrs. Lawson.
"Those Of us whose being has been

He had always been a close reader, and

nance and half with finance, was to

and held it for one day, his parents
sending him back to school the next
Five days afterwards he returned to
Boston and was hired at the bank once
again, once more being sent back to
school the following day. 1t was 10
days before he could make another an
pearance at the bank, and then he ex-
| planned for the first time that he had
been running away from school, and,
at his pleading, the head of the firm
urged his parents to allow him to re-
main with them. This was done.
When the bank closed at 8 o'clock
each afternoon, he took a three hours
course of study for several years, and
tnus acquired an education that was
practically tantamount to a college
course. Certainly no college course
could have been gotten through by stu
dent with more native enthusiasm than
this successful attempt at self-educa-
ton. In time this process of study and
self-denial began to bear fruit, and the
young man commenced to feel the d.
vine fires Of authorship burning within
him.
What has assisted him, too, in this
direction has been the wellspring of
humor that has dubbed up through
nearly all he wrote or spoke. He
achieved no little success with the verse
or prose contributions he submitted to
| those magazines and weeklies which
appealed most to him.
In time, however, this vein gave way
to one more serious, and an enormous
amount of manuscript dealing with
finance has come from his pen. He has
probably written more on finance than
any other writer in America-unless it
be George Rutledge Gibson. At the age
Of 16 he was one of the best known
