The lives of great men occupy a
large section of literature. The great
man is certainly a wonderful thing.
He walks across his century and
leaves the marks of his feet all over it, ripping out the dates on his
galoshes as he passes.
2. From his earliest childhood John
Smith was marked out from his
comrades by nothing.
3. In the boys choice of a profession
there was not seen that came
longing for a life work that we find in
the celebrities.
4. It was shortly after his start in
business life that Smith was a striken
with the first of those distressing
attacks, to which he afterwards
became subject.
5. There was one incident in Smith's
career which he did, perhaps, share
with regret. He had scarcely reached
manhood when he met the most beautiful girl in the world. She was
different from all other women.She
had a deeper nature than other
people. Smith realised it at once. She
could feel and understand things
that ordinary people could not . she
Understand him. She had a great
sense of humour and exquisite
appreciation of a joke. He found that
if he took a firm hold of her hand
with his, he could get a fine thrill,
and if you sit beside her on a sofa
with his head against her ear and his
arm about once and a half round her
she could get what you might call a
first-class,A-1 thrill.
6. The little Smiths were not that
kind of prattler. The whole nine grew up into tall, lank boys with massive
mouth and great sweeping ears like
their fathers, and no talent for
anything.
7. True,the passing years brought
some change of fortune. He was
moved up in his dry goods
establishment from the ribbon
counter to the collar counter, from
the collar counter to the gents'
painting counter, and from the gents'
panting to the gents fancy shirting.
Then, and when he grew quite old
they dismissed him and got a boy
with a 4 inch mouth and Sandy
coloured hair, who did all Smith
could do for half the money
His fund of anecdote were not
the delight of all who dropped in to
see him. He told seven stories and
knew six jokes. The stories were long
things all about himself, and the
jokes were about a commercial
traveller and a Methodist Minister.
