enables him to accomplish an unusual amount of work. Tic brings, to any problem on hand, a unique point of view, absolutely untrammelled by convention. What has been done has no value to him except on its own merits. Another quality of mind which requires more than passing attention, is his largeness of ideas. He does not think in small numbers, but is content to state the general principles involved and leave the working out of the details to others. A natural talent, coupled with a wonderful gift of insight, sound judgment, and a remarkable tenacity of purpose in tying to and fighting for an idea, has enabled him to overcome many difficulties, which he now considers his good fortune to have come in contact with. As a lad lie developed an inquiring turn of mind—a spirit of investigation to seek out the truth which instilled in him a hatred of sham and expediency. “Do it because it is right” is his motto. 1 lis creed is Work and again Work. I le is always ready to fight for a principle, and it is a characteristic of him that he knows how to laugh when fighting hardest. His disposition is such that he radiates good cheer and sunshine wherever he goes. He is generous to a fault, and never so happy as when giving another enjoyment. To so positive and masculine an individual, the term “lovable is not usually applied, but it is distinctly appropriate in his case. He has the capacity of inspiring in his stall loyalty and devotion to an unusual extent. He is generous in his thought for others, but frank in the statement of his opinions, and does not mince matters in dealing with a person whom he thinks is at fault. His sympathy for those in trouble is unbounded. After an analysis of separate qualities has been made, there remains to consider that somewhat intangible yet very real thing which we call personality. This he has to a remarkable degree. To the individual he makes a distinct appeal and impression; his magnetism is wonderful: in any assembly his presence is felt, and all this comes, not as a result of his position, but because of the personality of the man.
