Disreqsrds a WARNING

THOUGH the good fortune of the
Stevens family all came from
the soil, the father OF the future
governor Of Washington territory
had other plans for his children.
He urged them TO 20 to school and
prepare for the professions.
Isaacs brother George became an
attorney. His four sisters pre-
pared themselves for teaching but
none Of the others had the logical,
brilliant mind or the capacity for
work that characterized Isaac.
The problem of what was to
come for him after completing
the course at Phillips academy in
Andover was solved by his ep-
pointment to vacancy at West
Point. There he distinguished
himself as he had done in other
schools and worked his way to
the head Of his class.
There was only one study in
which he was not interested -
drawing. As he sat dreaming in
the drawing class one day the
teacher said:
stevens. II you don't pay more
attention to your drawing, you will
have an exceedingly bad mark In
the final examinations

replied:
