has had an interesting career and the
patenting of the machine seems TO have
started him of on a lucrative business
venture. When yet young lad he ped
died the Worcester Evening Telegram
about the streets of his native city.
Later he saved enough to send him
through college and few years since he
ran on the Democratic ticket for an al
dermanic Office in Worcester. He was
defeated but his opponent conceded him
