he had no sooner become a power in
the senate than he threw away his
chances once more and went south as
lieutenant colonel OF an Ohio regiment
in the civil war.
Young Garfield had now frittereG
away his life until he was 81 years old
and everybody said it was a pity that
he had no stability, having given up five
good chances in ten years. But he
persisted IN his course and no sooner
had he become major general than he
resigned once more and went to con-
gress.
This was Il fine opening for Garfield
and he stuck to his Job until 1880
against the express wishes of many
Democratic candidates in his district
In 1880 he became United States senator
and all would have been well had he not
gone to the Chicago convention to help
nominate Sherman for president and ac-
cldentally got nominated himself.
He was elected president that fan and
was Just getting settled in the office
the next July when he was shot by
more than ordinarily offensive office
seeker and died the following Septem-
Der.
Garfield was not quite so when he
died and had bright prospects. In fact,
he could have made a good success in
any one of his ventures if he had not
been so restless. Restlessness has spoiled
many fine farmers, lawyers and soldiers
by making presidents out of them
