nine boys in the family. His
father was planter and mer-
chant. Cliff Bergman attended
Prof. Henry's School for Boys at
Versailles, a private academy from
which he was graduated when he
was II.
He was always interested in
politics. When he was 13 he
played hockey from school to
hear Representative Qater Sena-
tori Joseph c. S. Blackburn make
campaign speech.
Mr.. Blackburn was his hero
Young Bergman drew a picture of
the man and then spent $1-a lot
of money for boy in l882-to buy
jig saw in order to back up the
drawing with a cigar box top and
then cut out the silhouette.
That Boys Got Talent
Berryman's Uncle Ed liked the
little statue that resulted so much
he kept it on his desk. When the
subject saw it. he said: -7o~,...,
That boys got talent. I'm
going to take him to Washington
when he gets through school and
see what can do for him"
AS to his preference for the
pencil instead of the brush Mr..
Bergman had a story that had
nothing to do with his great talent
for drawing. He said the prefer
ence was due to an error of judg-
ment he made when he was just
a little lad. One day. just after
the Bergman house had been re-
painted a glistening white, Cliff
found a can of shoe backing his
father had purchased standing
outside the door with a dauber
attached. The opportunity to do
some work in black and white with
a brush was too much for him. He
did some daubing on the freshly
painted wall Of the house. His
father spanked him for it and
Mr.. Bergman said, he had no use
for the brush after that.
He came to Washington in
August 1885 after his graduation
wearing his heavy overcoat, he
often recalled, because he thought
1t was way up North" Mr.
Blackburn's patronage got him q
job as craftsman in the patent
Office at $50 a month.
| Borrowed 500 for Trip.
He borrowed 500 from 9
brother to make the trip. Hi
room and board were $40 9
month, and he began repayine
the loan out of the $40 re-
mainder. In a few years he got
a break. He went to q picnic at
Marshall Hall, made some
sketches and submitted them to
The Washington Post. They were
published. He said he was afraid

did not wish to sadden the cere-
