A Grocer's BOY.

sONNa MY
One or two slight circumstances
may bend the twig and thus incline the
tree. A Christmas gift bent Doctor
Sehl'emann, the diseoverer of buried
Troy, to his life work. He was eight
years old when his father, a poor man.
Pinehed himself TO give him Uni
versal History with an engraving of
Troy in flames. "lf the walls" said
the boy 10 his father. "werc as thick
as those in the picture, there must be
some remains of them, and shall
eNcavate them some day" Another
trivial event gave the boy an impulse
toward his life work He was work
ing rs a grocer's boy from early in the
morning until late at night, sweeping
the shop, selling behring's and candles.
One day a drunken miller entered the
snip and recited a hundred lines Of
Homer in the original Greek.
The boy did not understand a word
of IL, but he was so affected BY the
rhythmic cadence that he wept, and
paid the man to repeat the lines three
times. From that moment he prayed
to God that he might learn Greek
He was next helped to the realiza-
ton of his boyish ideal by two ap-
parent accidents. In lifting a caSk too
heavy for him he strained himself, and
could work no more in the groccrs
shop, He went TO sea as a cabin boy
He was so poor that he sold his coat
10 buy a blanket. The vessel was
wrecked on the coast of Holland. A
friend secured him a situation in a
counting room. at salary of one
hundred and siNty-two dollars a year.
He spent half the small salary on
his studies, lived in garrett on rye
meal Porridge, and mastered English
IN six months. Then he learned
French, Dutch, Spanish, Italian and
Portuguese
His knowledge of languages got him
a situation as correspondent and book
keeper in the Office of an Amsterdam
banker. A Spaniard brought in a bill
which no one could read; young
Schliemann translated it, and the
banker promoted him.
He began the study of Russian; sub
Scquently he became Russian
merchant, and amasscd fortune.
Then he engaged a Greek teacher.
His method of study was original. He
procured a modern Greek translation
of Paul and Virginia" and read it in
the French original. when he had
finished his task, he knew at least one
half the Greek words the book con-
tanned. He repeated the task, and
then knew all the words, and thus &C
CURED a modern Greek vocabulary
without using a dictionary.
In six weeks he had mastered the
difficulties of modern Greek; then he
applied himself to the ancient Greek
Within three months he had learned
sufficient to understand some of the
classical Greek authors, and especially
Homer, whom he read and re-read with
enthusiasm
Before beginning the work of his life
he made a journey round the world,
and studied archaeology in Paris,
Then, with a well-stored mind, he be-
gan those Investigations round Troy
which had been the dream Of his life.
His success made him the great ex-
cavator Of modern days.

One hundred girls arriving in Amer
lea in search of promised husbands
created confusion last Thursday on the
pier in New York where the Greek
steamer MCCALL Helias locked, when
they tried to recognize their husbands
to-be in several launches filled with
young men. Only twenty-five Of the
aspiring bridegroomS had seen their
hancees, while a few had photographs
to aid Identification. After a noisy
scene, during which men and girls ran
about shouting the names Of those
they sought, most of the young people
found their promised mates, who they
appraised with shy glances or boldly
courted, according to their different
temperamcnts. Then the men, who
had no pier permits, were chased away,
with the information that they might
see the girls later at the Ellis Island
immigration station.

STACKLEY-TYSON WEDDING
Popular Florence Couple United in
Bonds of WedlOck.

Florence, June 12.-The lovely home
of Mr.. and Mrs. George Stackley on
West Palmetto street, Florence, was
the scene of beautiful wedding on
Wednesday, June 9. when their daugh-
ter, Agnes George, was given in mar
riage to- William Brooks Tyson.
The. entire lower floor of the spa
cious home was thrown open en- suite,
and artistically decorated with Shasta
daisies and banks of tall palms and
ferns.

took place at half after o'clock, a

The dainty little flower girls, .Au-

dressed in fairy like costumes
of accordion pleated organdie and
carried baskets tied with yellow tulle
and filled with Shasta daisies.
The petite ring bearer, Marion Lee
McCown, dressed in accordion pleated
white organdie with a silver band
across her long black curls, preceded
the bride, carrying, the ring in a long
stemmed Lily. -
To the strains of the wedding march
from Iohengrin," the bride entered

SENATOR HARDING
NOMINATED
CONTINUED from page one.)

Young men of that age, he was oblig-
ed to stop for time now and then
and earn the money with which to
pursue his college course. AT one
time we find him cutting corn. At an
other, painting his neighbors' barns.
At still another, driving team and
helping to grade the roadbed of the
T. G. O. C. Railroad, which was then
building through that community. AT
the age of seventeen we find hlm
teaching a, district school, and "toot-
ing a horn" in the "brass band OF
the village. One Of his fellow musl-
clans, who is now at the head Of a
great manufacturing concern, and who
shas since sat with him on various
boards of directors, recounts that the
band once took the third prize at a
tournament; and he adds that Should
Senator Harding be elected President
of the United States it would not
cause, him half the pride which he felt
on that occasion when we came home
with the third prize for our musical
proficiency
AT odd times he worked in the
little printing office in the village
He seemed to love the odor Of prin-
ters' ink and to have passion for
everything pertaining to a newspaper
office, even down to the minutest de-
tail of the mechanical equipment. He
became an expert typeset!cr by hand,
and when the linotype was first intro
duced he learned to operate the ma
chine. He is a practical pressman,
job printer, and as makeup man
has few equals. The luck piece he
carries as a Senator of the United
States is the old printers rule he used
when he was yet sticking type
A friend recalls an incident which is
offered as illustrative of Senator
Harding's character. Entering the
office of the Marion (Ohio) Star, of
which the Senator is the publisher
one New-year's morning, he found the
