Closely Associated With Father.
His sympathetic study of his father
and his close association with him
made the younger Morgan nearly like
his father at his greatest. He received
the benefits of the ripened experience
of bis fathers later years. His prepa-
ration as his fathers understudy and
successor was thorough, as is the Nor
gan way. In college he showed the
fondness of his family for outdoor
sports, though he did not compete for
membership Of the athletic teams.
From college he went straight to the
London house of Morgan, Grenfell &
Co. for his apprenticeship to his life's
work. He had much to do with the
transfer of the $4O,0OO,OOO payment by
this government to France for the Pan
anna canal.
1t was tremendous undertaking and
delicate. The. gold had to be- gathered
cautiously in spite of it's tremendous
quantity to avoid squeeze and an up

tial assurances that "young Morgan
had proved that he would make good"

inquired about the agriculturists'
wants. 1--WE are sadly in need Of

Used Gambetta.. And his listeners be-

that the rain came down in torrents a
day or two after and that when the
