II Ii WHITNEY was born in Wor-

Dec. 8, 1865. The indications of
his mechanical genius were noted at an
early age He was always making
something in the shop. preferring that
to work on his fathers farm. His faith

Few days, inquired of the housekeeper
what the boys had been doing. She
told him what the elders had done.

ness as an apology for not going to
church, Knowing that the father would
leave the watch at home as had been
his custom, he, without a thought OF
the consequences took the watch all
to pieces, but he put it together so
neatly that the father never discovered
the rash act until he himself told him
many years later.
In the revolutionary war nails were
In great demand and he prevailed upon
his father to allow him to set UP the
manufacture OF nails. He met with
great success. He began to make tools
of all sorts, cleaning information

Makes Hat Pins.
After the close of the war making
nails became poor business but the
fashion so dangerously popular among
women of fastening on their bonnetsi
with long pins, appearing in his day,
he made those pins with such skin
that he got the monopoly of the bust
ness. All the while he continued the
occupations of the farm and Seaching
school in the village.
At 19 he determined upon q liberal
education. and at "a he entered Yale
Upon graduation he went to Georgia
to teach. He studied law with Gen.
Greene. An embroidery frame de-
stroyed the delicate threads of Mrs.
Greene's work, and to oblige his hos

terly that no medicine was being put
on his sores But the effect of the
drug soon manifested itself, and he
went about town eXcitedly demon
strating his improved condition to all
who would look. Some days later he
disappeared. and the doctor was much
disappointed, because he wanted him
for an object lesson to convince others
of the efficacy of the treatment. To
the great surprise of the hospital staff,

with Is other sufferers from ''yaws,
whom he had brought distance of
so miles from his native village, in
