Raymond had been as a young man a reporter in the United States Senate. He told me that, while at that time there was no system of shorthand or stenography, he had devised a crude one for himself, by which he could take down accurately any address of a deliberate speaker. Daniel Webster, the most famous orator our country has ever produced, was very deliberate in his utterances.

I got big expenses and big rent; I got a daughter to raise " "Mama, haven't I begged you a hundred times to let me take up stenography and get out and hustle so you can take it easy haven't I?" A thick coating of tears sprang to Mrs.
"Did you know that your mother and I were children together?" he asked. "No!" She stared. "Is that why you sent for me that day at the school of stenography?" "That is why . . .
