He had a sad life as both his pub- lic and private experiences were not pleasant or easy to bear and yet through it al] the great man kept the sympathetic, kindly God-given char- acter. He first took up farming as an oc- cupation and his first profession was urveying where for a chain he had a grape-vine. All during this time he was studying law.

Mr. Handy es- pedially emphasized the home lofe of these men and showed how the char- acted of the nation depended on the homes of some of these men.
