We can afford to pass over the first ten years of his life most of which was spent in alternately attending school and playing “hookey” to dis- port in the “old swimmin’ hole”. At the age of ten he became the captain of the “Alley Cats," > famous baseball team of that day. .”t eleven he took on the additional occupation of devi! boy in the office of the Man- ning Monitor, a famouss.weekly up- lifter whose editar hewed to the ling and let tne chins fall where they pleased. His journalistic career in his native town was a mixture of sunshine and sotrow, but it de yeloped a tenacity of purpose tha stood him in good stead, cach ‘suc- ceeding baseball season. The fore- man of the Monitor, one Farrell, rather admired his devil because of his inherent satanic qualities and persistence. He fired him every evening reguarly, for cause, but he never stayed fired. Simply to show the cruel foreman that he harbored no resentment, the devil would craw! through’ a printing office ‘window early the next morning and have the office neatly swept out and the fire! built by the time the foreman arrived) on the scene to find the devil busy; mixing paragraphs of patent medi- cine readers with obituary notices. Of course when the proofs were pulled the shop was without a devil | until the next morning. Thus did/ the journalistic apprenticeship mer-| rily proceed for several years, until the elder Free took a hand and a barrel stave, and after that there was some uninterrupted school business that never cease? until a diploma was} brought home and hung on the parlor wall among the family portraits.
