In youth Franklin happened to ren 1 Xenophon's description of tin* S »crntlc methiHl, and It made a Instill^ Impres- slon on his mind. He decided to drop the dogmatic way of making st.it - molds and to follow tin* plan of the wise old Athenian. To this habit of asking questions and milking snjrges- tlve and tentative statements rather than being self assertive and positive Franklin ascribed much of Ids later ■access as a writer and diplomat. He ran away from Boston while a meec stripling, yet before he left he had read every book on which in* could lay his hands. He even went without his lunches with the twofold object of having more time in which to read and of having more money to spend for books. Fraukiin’s fir-d notable success was with *Toor iliebard's Almanac.” the quaint and wise sayings in which at tained Immediate and worldwide pop ularity and were .inundated into almost every know u tongW. In Franklin's electrical experiment*, especially tlie famous one with the kite, he endangered his life, yet so intent was he oil discovering the truth that he seemed utterly Indifferent to per sonal jieril. Franklin's moral courage was shown nowhere more than iu his treatment of his illegitimate son. William, lie look the Ih» to live in his own home and Introduced him everywhere us his son, both iu America and Europe. % •' I KM® Thomas Jefferson. »r £ Z> G £ It TOM. Jefferson's greatest pni er was his opti mistic faith in the common people. lilOMAS JEl^FKUSO.Vrwhtle the great Democrat of his era. was T § of rather aristocratic parentage “ and hud the advantage of u lib eral education. He was |H*culiarly, considering bis time and surroundings, of the type of the scholar In politic^. That he kboutd have been this and yet the foremost American radical of his day maiks him as an odd combtnMiou In our history. The turning |>oint in Ida career was his appointment to draft the Dee iu ration of Independence. This came about from a double cause—Jef ferson's reputation ns a writer of polit- icar documents aud the jealousy feK by certain members of congress toward Elchard* Henry I-ee. who had Intro duced the lnde|ieudence reaelutlon. Volumes have been writtea to disprove Jefferson’s authorship of the Declara tion, and a widespread belief baa per sisted even to the present that most ef H, If not all. was really written by Thomas Paine. However that may have^ been, the fact that Jefferson was appointed to prepare the deenment, the Inference that It was his the . reputation rein Kant operated powerfully to make Mm a political leader.
