tally.
Mr.. Littleield, who is 40, began at an
earl j age to provide himself with
money by his own toll. At IS he went
haying, and thus earned his first dollar
laboriously. Later he became a car
penter, and he was earning four do+
lars day when he decided to study
law. His professional education was
based on common school education
all he ever got. AS lawyer he worked
IA or Is hours every day but Sunday,
and for Is years he seldom reached
home In the evening before the rest Of
his family were asleep. Sundays he usu-
ally went with his wife to a Congrega-
tional church in his home town of Rock
land. He became state Representa- tive,
speaker of the Maine house, attorney
successor at Washington.
Naturally, says the Chicago Record.
Mr., Littleteld thinks that the chief
secret of his success is work. but he
admits that his working day of IA hours
was made possible by health and power
of endurance. He has been a total alb
stainer all his life, and he "chews" only
the spruce gum of his native state. He
says he has found more trouble in saw
ing and investing money we'll than in
earning it. He has higher estimate
of married men than of bachelors, and
his sympathy goes out to the lawyer in
congress who is trying to preserve his
practice and at the same time do his
full duty to his constituents
