a farm on which he placed her. He
then went to liondou -to prosecute the
study of his art as a painter. So
strong a bent had he for science, how
ever. that in his odd hours be studied
mechanics and engineering. Finally

of Bridgewater, who was then Inter

Fulton was induced by that gentleman
to give up {Miiiitiug altogether and to
devote himself to civil engineering amt

flax and another for making ropes.
He. also wrote a book on navigating
canals and another on the application

P EHIIAI’S the crisis In Daniel
Webster’s career wn.i reached
Just after his admission to lbs,

cuiirt clerkship At that time Be was
very poor and had shown little of the
woudeitful oratorical ability which aft
erward distinguished him. The tender
of such a place was therefore a acre
temptation. Welmter. however, decid
ed not to take It. stating that he in
tended to say things himself, not sim
ply write things that other people said.
He l>egan practicing In a small New
Hampshire town and remained a citi
zen of that state many years befors
be was finally ••discovered” and tn-
dneed to locate In Boston. When Web
ster first tried to speak, he failed and
hunt Into tears. This was while be
was still to school. So shy was he that
ha could scarcely aria* to recite. It
taok will power and perseverance to
Ttrcome such a defect, and It was only
the fact that he felt hie own great pow-
mm that finally enabled him to succeed.
■vea after be had overcome hie
timidity the battle waa only half won.
