about that ec centric- lawyer who fished out eases as one testing the valid ity of an Indian marriage according to the custom of their country- He Stephenss direct and true nature in herited the traits of the middle class even to religion and simplicity of habits on all sides His worthy father was known as the watchdog politics in Montreal and the Province The father must have seen with some

century The subject this sketch was born with a silver spoon in his mouth which means that his father was wealthy but the way in which the- clever fa ther watched that spoon won it It is on the records vs He championed another rare case a man named against the hierarchy of Quebec for some al leged libel published by this man This case too he conducted person ally and fought it for years finally winning after losing time and mon ey which would have ruined a less able man He was called to serve the city as alderman in and remained in active civic life for 17 yean being several times

of morals was not a whit respect that it was made of steel It was that wry training which put iron into the young man lor he has got It in him over today The lad wascdneatcd privately and also at the high school and College r He early learnt the care of distinguishing the essential from the accidental and that is his sal ient characteristic today in apply ing the simple laws of human action with which he became familiar Travel to young Stephens was his supreme educator He traversed Europe knew his London at an early terStjust west of the St James age His keen mind was open and in addition to the reflection of scenes stronger than his rigidly kept private life Thus his eldest son George no chance to become spoiled Instead lie was taught early to ex amine well the basis of opinion which he might have formed upon political or other subjects He was taught to do what the Stephens fam ily had always done namely to buy the things they ought to have bought and to never have left unsold the r

original designs and now to be seen No What shall make of the often came to the fathers mind He early took away the hinges from the boys knees by mak ing him think for himself erased any chance of cringing from his soul and started him to work a free man Little was heard of Ste phens Jr until death of his fa ther George was a hidden vol cano His qualities had been sim mering for years growing
