Il attribute their exalted careers to
the fact that they were all thrown
upon their own resources at an early
age and had 10 depend upon their own
brains and their own endeavors to
make their way through the world.
There is no disgrace in being an
orphan. Indeed. the child who is not
raised under parental influences is per-
haps more apt TO develop individuality
and character than his more cared for
companions I bid you take heart and
strive 10 your utmost. for ahead of you
all there lies the path Of unlimited ep-
portunity."
The poet declared that his speech to-
day was positively his last appearance
on public platform.
Il know that il has been reported
that I would read a paper at the fourth
Of July celebration in MelrOse,' he said.
But you may say for me that there
are so many idiots abroad with fire
crackers and bombs on the fourth of
July that 1 feel il necessary 10 stay
al home and protect my property. The
person who eNplodes a bomb disturbs
not only the occupants Of the house
nearest him but all the people for half
a mile around"
