“THE STOLEN KISS”
FAVORED WITH THE GODS
WAS MARTIN W. LITTLETON.
(Continued From Page Two)
appointed to riddle.the presumptu
ous young man. And they fired
volley after volley into him. lie
answered all their questions. Then
askc ( | some himself that showed a
profound knowledge of the law—
he who had barely glanced at the
hooks. It was like the youthful
Christ in the midst of the doctors.
“What is Truth?” asked Pon
tius of Pilate.
And what is the Law? The law
is not. a thing that is made by
someone—not something that is
made by men—many small men
—in legislative halls. Like truth,
it exists in the nature of things. It
is the soul of all things. Men had
the Law when reason first dawned
on the chaos of their brains. Groat
minds combined with great hearts
are the prophets and interpreters
of the Law . Such was Logan E.
Bleckley, and Robert Toombs.
When they said such and such was
the law, it w as, or ought to be. If
their dictum conflicted with the
statute, the statute was at fault.
And so Martin Littleton, this
stripling of nineteen, with scarce
ly a speaking acquaintance with
law books, knew more of the Law
than a whole floor of the Jackson
building.
The sleek and complaisant attor
neys of today depend upon the Su
preme Court reports for their
knowledge of the law. And they
never grow except in shrewdness.
In the golden days of Hie republic
there were really great lawyers.
They burned tire midnight oil—
they thought and brooded. They
drew from their brains a knowl
edge of law as water is drawn
from a well. And they grew and
grew—by thinking.
He was admitted to the bar and
then married a pretty and sensible
girl. Miss Maude Wilson. Soon lie
decided to go to New York. It
was the biggest place he could
hear of.
“ I can hold my own with any of
them fellers,” he said.
Then he bundled up and started.
And their baggage consisted of a
trunk, with a feather bed and a jar
of jam in it., and a recommenda
tion for uprightness. They also
had $2Ol) —and something else—
they had love, hope and determi
nation.
Never did knights of old start in
quest of the Holy Grail with high
er heart than did these crusaders
in search of the Golden Fleece of
Fortune—with their faces to the
rising sun.
Arriving in New York, they
sought a cheap boarding house and
Martin began the rounds of the
lawyers’ otlices with his recommen
dation until hi.s shoes were nearly
worn but; for he could find no one
with time to read it, But he car
ried a strong heart and a cheery
smile. Finally old Judge Peabody,
who happened to have a leisure
moment, read the document and
talked with the young man. He
liked him and took him itt as a law
clerk.
That was the beginning. History
tells the rest.
About ten years ago Little took
a notion to run for Congress as a
Democrat in the old Roosevelt dis
trict. with a normal Republican
majority of J.OOO. Mrs. Littleton,
under the pen name of Peggy O’-
Brien,” wrote a short history of
his life, had it published in pam
phlet form, and carried it to the
house of every voter in the district.
If the husband was absent she jol
lied the wife and kissed the baby.
In every instance she got the prom
ise of a vote. ()f course a few re
lapsed, but when the votes were
counted Littleton’s opponent was
counted under the head of“. Sca
ttering.” Peggy had made an al
most unanimous round-up.
For some lime now Martin has

The Tinles copies the above from
the Gainesville Herald, feeling
that it may perhaps be of interest
to many of our*youu readers, in
spiring them with greater efforts
and determination to accomplish
something in life.
All of them cannot do w hut Mar
tin \\. Littleton has done, but they
can win success to a greater de
gree than they will by having the
determination w hich has made his
name famous.
It will do any young man or
woman good who has aspirations
and laudible ambition to read the
above and reread it.
Few boys and girls of today
have as many obstacles to over
come as did Martin \Y. Littleton,
but we are afraid there are few
who are w illing to make the sac
