ed early iu life a set of siiup’.e rules
for his util dance.
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.

Jefferson's greatest
pni er was his opti
mistic faith in the
common people.

great Democrat of his era. was
T

“ 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
