Smiths in the state OF Virginia has
achieved rare success in the particular
branches he follows and appears before

Probably he is known to wider circle
OF friends, which includes many promi-

ed Homestead ~ Hot Springs, Va :,
and the Palm Beach Inn, Florida It
is at these resorts he shows remarkable
proofs of executive ability to command
men and manage fine points Of the de-
partmsnt over which he pre- sides.
Aside from being thorough in the or
ganizstion Of the army Of men under
his control, he steps apart, very often,
and by deeds OF mercy does Il world of
good to his community and incidental

Not tWithstanding OBJ ctes, through

Secretary OF State

The sch ools Of Dunkirk were gro wing
IN number and efficiency ss the young
man was growing to manhood, aud his
desires for good education Kept pace
with his growth and years, In order to
enable him to attend school longer, he
organized night school for the young
appren sioes in the machine shop and
in Brooks Locomotive works.
If our space permitted We would Ike
to dwell upon the story of the struggles
Of this young man; how he went from
one place Of employment TO another,
working faithfully, earning and saw
ing, but holding fast to the determ1-
nation to acquire an education and
make out of the raw material the good
Lord gave him to develop, the best and
nobIest man possible.
One day, large eyed, earnest-look.
ing boy of twenty presented himself to
the president of st. johns College,
Fordham, N. Y. and told the good priest
that he wanted to acquire college
education The president soon learned
that the boy lad not money enough to
pay for more than half years tuition;
but that this earnest appllca for COL
lege opportunities had brains, energy,
and perseverance,, and that his ex-
perience as a teacher could be utilized
in the school so as to enable the boy to
begin college work at once.
After leaving st. Johns college he
began, under difficulties, the study of
law. For four years he taught in one
of the public night schools in New
York city, did clerical work In the law
ofice part of the day, and studled law
in Columbian College. In 1869 he
graduated from Columbia and, return
ing to Dunkirk, began practicing Iau.
His friends and neighbors respected
the young man who had aimed high,
who had worked, worked, worked, and,
at last, had achieved his desire, to fit
himself for q lawyer.

FOOTBALL is fascinating but
it is dangerous TO life and limb.
1t is responsible annually for the
death of a score of our brightest
young men, thus cheating them
of useful lifetime and their
parents of their mainstay In old
age. So long as wetolerate foot
ball or encourage it we should
moderate our structures against
prize lighting and bullfghting.
These latter amusements kill a
few where football kills many.
