The crisis of war time past he
conceived the ambition of becom-
ing a telegrapher, the wonders of
swift communication being but
newly developed. All his long life
the progress of science and inven-
ton enthralled his Imagination. So
he became an expert at the key,
following this calling for several
years. But in his mind was the
constant urge Of books and the at
traction Of the school room, so he
returned to college to better fit
himself for a teachers career. All
his days he was ambitious to keep
pace, and his vacations in late
years usually spent at the Uni
versity.
There came a year however, IN
La Porte, Indiana, where he con
templated the ministry, so that
during a summer he supplied a
Baptist Church near La Porte. But
feeling himself TO be better adapt
ed for the class room. the schools
recalled him towork during a per.
lod OF many years in various plac-
es, notably Lisbon, Michigan. La
Porte, indiana. and Chicago, where
he was with the old Armour Insti-
flute, aud lastly, having married
meanwhile, Racine, Michigan.
About the year 1907, his health
having failed him somewhat. he
turned westward 10 the Pacific
Coast for a miider climate, and in
