His Dream Of Gold

.thn Cooper was a structural iron worker in Ke.
walee, III. Perhaps it the height Of his eere
pe-ch that set him dreaming. For dream John
Cooper did, there where the gaunt skeleton Of his
building tower met the MONDAY sun.
John Cooper, dreamily catching white hot ingots
Of steel, dreamed that yellow gold and hot steel
man,!cd structural iron such he TO build,
and that build they did, great towering things that
flecked the very stars.
John Cooper dreamed well that he lived his
dream when the whistle he left those cerc height
fer the street below.
TN, not steel worker. I'm millionaire" he
told them. "A nine million dollar estate is to be
left me il prove myself worthy by succeeding with
my own two bare hands,"
Perhaps John Cooper went to the movies often.
Perhaps he read tales of lily handed men kicked
forth int the world by wealthy parents and told
to make their mark ere ever they darkcned the
paternal door again.
John Cooper told them that when he was - the
fortune was to be his. He had the eventfnl birth
day few days ago. He wrote checks. Checks
that totaled 100000.
The hard-heartcd undreaming Kewanee bank
called them scraps Of paper" even as did Germany
the neutrality treaties in the years ago.
Inn Cooper is bewildered lie finds it hard to
figure out why and how he is no millionaire when
he was up there on the worlds skyline, ham,
mcring. throwing ingots.
John Cooper only went little farther in his
dreaming than most Of US who dream the checks,
bat have not the courage to really write them:

Brother Jonathan has to say" resulted
in the nickname Brother Jonathan"
Young Trumbull was at Roxbury
during the Battle of Bunker Hill, and
from there was able to see the battle,
which was later to become the subject
of one of his famous pictures. Short
ly afterward the artist was transfer
red to the staff of Gen. Washington.
Less than a year later he accompa-
MED Gen. Gates as deputy adjutant
general to Albany and Ticonderoga.
During 1878 he served Gen. Sullivan
as aide-de camp in the campaign to re-
cover Rhode Island. When that prof.
ect failed Trumbull definitely left the
Army and devoted his full time to ar
tistic pursuits. On the advice Of sew
eral Of his friends he sailed for Eu-
rope in the Spring of 1880, to continue
his studies. While on the continent
he met Benjamin Franklin and John
Adams. Franklin gave him a letter
of introduction to Benjamin West, the
famous English artist, who received
him kindly and became his teacher.
West had barely begun instructing
the American when news reached
England of the execution of Maj.
Andre. AS Trumbull had occupied q
position in the Colonial Army similar

he was arrested and imprisoned for

give the pupil the necessary knowI-
edge of design, coloring and other eS-
sentials of good pictures. Fortunate
ly Trumbull's originality was not killed
by such a course.

London in 1885. He invited the artist
to become his guest at Paris. an invi-

the painting of the adoption of the

portrait for the picture of Thomas
