Benjamin Franklin.

Benjamin franklin.
LAST Friday marked the anniversary of Benja-
min Franklin's birthday. Altho we have no legal
holiday COMMUNICATING the birth of this distin-
gushed statesman, diplomat, philosopher, inventor,
and man of letters he contributed-next to Washing
ton-more than any of his time toward the
independence Of The American Republic. By his
many eminent biographers he is called the many
sided franklin, for his activities embraced wide
field of usefulness to mankind
BENJAMIN Franklin was born in Boston January
II, 1905 He was the son of poor tallow chandler,
and at the early age of thirteen he thrown upon
his own resources. How brilliantly he succeeded in
his contact with the world is known to all. As an
inventor, he less successful than as scien-
tis for he showed keen insight and sagacty in both
callings. However, his inventive and scientific
achievements overshadowed by his craftsmanship
while serving his country abroad.
Notwithstanding that he performed many signal
deeds for his country in its darkest hour, and that
he deserved all the honors that are conferred upon
the great he expressed the wish to be known to pos
terity as B. Franklin, printer. Such modesty is
seldom seen in man of Frankins attanments, and
it only adds uster to already garanded with
the laurel crown of victory.
