Hard work! These two words
sum up the career of Thomas Alva
Edison, the world-famous inven-
tor whose name has penetrated
every remote quarter of the globe.
Edison is perhaps the greatest
at least one among the two or
three greatest-of American born
in a small town, and his career is
an inspiration to every boy, wheth-
er he halls from big city or 81
tiny hamlet. For Edison is the
miracle man of the century. His
inventions and experiments are
known so widely that it is futile
to enumerate them here. We are
in contact every day of our lives
with Instruments, devices and C ,m-
forts that owe their being to the
genius of Thomas A. Edison
Milan. Ohio, was the town of
his birth-February II, ,1847 the
date. He received some instruc-
tion from his mother. and at II
years of age began in the battle
of life by selling newspapers on
the Grand Trunk Railway. Already
young Edison was tinkerin.y with
machinery and developing those
interests that in later life made
him such a world-figure.
He learned telegraphy and be-
came on operator at various
places in the United States and
Canada, and soon invented many
telegraphic appliances tn
brought him reputation that
was a forerunner of his present
universal recognition.
His present workshop is at
West Orange, New Jersey, where
he and a staff of experts con-
stantly surprise the world with
their scientific findings. Edison
IS now eighty-one but his quest
for the secrets underlying ma
5ural forces has not ceased. He
has just set out on experiments in
which he con-
templates will take twenty years
% complete-and he looks for
ward to completing them.
Edison is an inveterate work
er, at all the time, and allows
at most six hours sleep ,
vt night. He believes that If
We all worked more and slept
ess, we would be happier and
aealth;er. Most people find !
more sleep than Edison neces-
ary-but his constitution is such
hat he needs very little. Work J
lbsorbs him from morn till night,
and he thrives on it.

lawyer, has left for a three
months walking tour through Ire
land, England, Scotland and

to do forty miles day without

sometimes he merely said, "I am
not interested"
He took no part in social affairs.
AS time passed he did become in
terested in some of the financial
concerns--he became director of
one of the banks, and was regular
attendant at its board meetings.
but he was known mainly, until
automobiles made horses nuis-
ance, for his fine horses. His coach
man always drove him to the trains
and met him on his return until the
time came when he bought an auto
mobile; after that his chauffeur al
ways drove him to his Office just
around the corner from Wall Street
on Broadway. He was not so much
peculiar man as a self suf6cing
one. In the deals he made in Wall
Street he played a lone hand. He
never took part in syndicates, never
allied himself with groups. And
some of his deals were sensation
ally profitable. 1t was the amazing
effrontery of some of these deals
that had attracted attention to him
sufficiently to warrant his being
given sobriquet of his own-The
Human Sphinx. He would not talk
of his deals or of the market or of
anything. The moment he reached
the city he was, for all practical
purposes, mute~
1t was not long before Westcote
knew he was an extremely wealthy
man. Solicitors for new hospital,
going to John Drane in the hope of
getting him to give some hundreds
of dollars or perhaps a thousand,
came away from the house with
check for an even hundred thou
sand. There had been no wasted
words. Eyes, l approve of it; l
will give you something" he had
said and, turning to the desk, he
had written the check. The solici-
tor, glancing at it, had thought it
was for thousand dollars and had
been profuse in his thanks; not un-
til the check was turned in to the
treasurer was it discovered that j
was for the amazing hundred thou
sand. The check went through the
bank and was paid without ques-
ton.
well, the bony old son-of-a-
gunp the treasurer of the hospital
exclaimed. "He must have a heart
in his dried-up carcass after all,
even if he don't look it'll"
AT seventy John Drane was still
as bony as ever, but "dried-up" did
not describe him, nor had it ever.
He was thin almost to emaciation,
but it was a soft thinness; his skin
was not dried nor leathery, and his
face had not SO much wrinkled as
fallen into jowls and folds. His
cheeks were drawn down below his
cold gray eyes and when he re-
moved his eye glasses the hollows
below the eyes were almost ghastly,
but even at seventy he was
minutely careful of his body and
dress, almost dandihed. He shaved
twice day. once in the morning
and once at noon, for he had a

perhaps with rows OF silk stitching

In almost every home there is an
old treasure or two. but, proud as we
are of these possessions, they do not
always have place of honor in the
home.
Bookshelves always welcome bits
of colorful old glass or pottery among
the books. On the sideboard or con-
sole a piece of old silver gives a sug-
gestion of luxury that is subtly CON
vincing. Old prints either side of the
secretary; old pewter plates for the
mantel shelf-such well-chosen orna-
