New Hampshire's cities and towns
voted last week under the local option
provision of the new license law. All
the cities and over one-third OF the
towns went license; majority of the
towns went no-license. The munich
pal results closely followed those in
Vermont. Massachusetts,, the model
local option state, has a smaller pro-
portion of its population under license
than either of its northern neighbors
that have lately adopted that system.
This was to be anticipated at the be-
ginning; time win probably bring
about a similar division to that exist
ing in the Bay State, where, AS rule,
only the populous centers-and not all
OF them establish the legalized saloon.

SHAPED HIS DESTINY
Career of Senator Nelson an Inspir-
alton to Young Men.
Poor Norwegian Boy Who Rose from
Deepest Obscurity and Now Ii
One of the Great Statesmen
of the Hour.

The life of Senator Knute Nelson, of
purpose novel of twofold intent. The
themes, which are closely interviewer,
are the powerful influence which the
early inspiring of a definite ambition
has in shaping a life, and how success
is gained despite the most untoward
conditions. These points are clearly
brought out in clever little sketch,
contributed by Antoinette Van Hoesen
to the Cosmopolitan.
A foreign-born American, Knute
Nelson came TO this country from Nor
way with his widowed mother when he
was less than five years old, and earned
his first money selling newspapers
upon the streets of Chicago. Later,
when he and his mother were settled
on little sandy farm out in Wisconsin,
his life was given a definite direction
by one Mary Dillon, who taught the
district school. Miss Dillon was cul-
tivated woman who came with her fam
fly to this country from Belfast, Ire
land, to mend their broken fortunes.
She became interested in the little.
virile, eager-minded Norwegian boy,
and, at stated intervals, invited him to
her home. There, for the first time he
saw the table-napery in use and tea
table ornamented with flowers. On
one of these occasions, in talking with
him of the famous personages of his
tory, Miss Dillon said:
You, too, may become a distin-
guished man, knute. You've a good
mind, and all you have to do is to be in
dustrious and persevering. You can't
be president. for you were not born in

DESTROYS of presenting to their alma
mater a statue of the patriot, himself
a graduate of that university, of the
class of IT'S.
The statue, which is of heroic size.
represents the young patriot on his
way to the scaffold. His head is held
high and in his eyes is the expression of
a man who is oblfvious to the jeers Of
the mob gathered to witness the exc
cution of a spy.
In his original sketch of the statue
Mr.. Partridge had his figure standing
at the foot of the scaffold. That it was
changed to its present state-that OF
a forward motion, suggesting action
without fatiguing the eye is due to .
beautiful thought of Phillips Brooks.
He was looking at the first sketch in
the sculptor's studio one day when he
said that "a man does not remain all
his life at a university, but passes on
to something higher and more worthy
of his powers" and so the suggestion
of motion in the figure typifies that
thought as well as the story of the pa
triot's heroism. Since no portrait Of
Hale exists, Mr.. Partridge built up his
ideal of the face in a manner that il
an evidence of the thoroughness with
which he works. Acting on the princi-
pie that men of one epoch bear gen.
eral resemblance to one another, he
studied the colonial type faithfully,
and used in connection with this type
the mask of Yale student who was
much after Hale's manner of thought
and purpose in life. The statue is Of
bronze and will be mounted ont pedes-
tai three feet six inches high. The
cost will be about S20,000

this country, but you can be United
States senator" This was Icing before
there was 'sNew Education" but one
of its foundation methods was used by
Miss Dillon in thus relating young Nell
sons life to the vital facts in the lives
of men of success. From this time on
he studied them with keen personal in
terest, seeking to find just how they
had achieved. He realized that the first
step was to learn more than country
district school taught.
Senator Nelson tells that he jour-
neyed in an ox-cart of home construc-
ton, the wheels of which were sections
of big log. to the little village acad-
envy from which he graduated. On this
cart was a large wooden chest which
contained, In addition to his sAnty
wardrobe. sufficient provision from
the farm to last him half the term.
He did his own cooking. living as SIM
ply as did Daniel when he was in train
ing to stand before Babylon's triumph
ant king. At this time he bore, with
out the slightest thought of relinquish-
ing his object, the constant Sights and
ridicule of his fellow students.
Senator Nelson's personality an
nounces the staying qualities which
enabled him to realize the ambition
inspired by his first teacher. He walks
short, sits tall, and has the sturdfness
Of those not easily overthrow. His
wide, firm mouth closes evenly; his
iron-gray hair and beard are cropped
to coordinate with the square-turned
lines of his head and face; and his ear,
which, according to &c Maupassant, in
dicates ones origin far more accurate
" than any certificate of birth, is siz-
able. with elaborate, well-defined con-
volutions.
In a small way he entered the arena
of politics shortly after he had fin
ished his academic course, and has
filed almost every Office in the gift of
the people, once or more. up to the one
he now occupies. Meanwhile. he found
time to serve as a soldier during the
civil war, and to become an able law
yer.
