This old man, whose 80 years are
burdened with the cares of giving
away and not looking for the crust
and pallet of straw, was born in Brad
ford, VT, April IA, 1920. He went bare
footed, and sometimes hungry; but he
did manage to get away from that
stony farm and enter Bradford aca-
denny, and then he passed by hard
toll to Dartmouth college. Here he
was able to stay only for year. He
could not meet the expense. But he
had pluck and grit, and today this is
one of his favorite stanzas:
Grit makes the man,
The want of it the chump;
The men who win
Lay hold, hang on, and hump!
He says when he grows old'' ne IN
tends to retire to some quite home
to rest from the strenuous life he has
lived. His money was made IN real
estate.
