The Kodak Salesman . my own efforts, and I was still alive, so thereafter swimming for me wasan accomplished fact. I have always been grateful tothat farm hand, because having tograduate from the school of hardknocks that early lesson in self-confidence was always a big help. I recall another incident of mysmall boyhood days: I was trudg-ing along a country road whenalong came a doctor I knew, in hisbuggy. Want a ride in. Sonny?he inquired. I said Yes, sir. AfterI was seated beside him he said.Son. if you had said, I dont care, or hadnt answered promptly, youwould still be walking. And so Ilearned from him the advantage ofgiving a decisive answer. Like most small boys in smalltowns, I got into, or was intriguedinto, the usual number of fights ; Icould always lick Johnnie Sullivan, who was quite a bit larger thanmvself, but Willie McGraw. the. runt of the neighborhood, hadtrimmed all of us. This puzzled mebecause I knew I was full}- asstrong as Willie, and quite a bittaller. I found the answer in ratheran unexpected manner. Willie andI were having just a friendly scuftleone day, when quite by accident, and wholly unintentionally. I landeda mighty wallop on Willies nose. ?? illie let out a wail of surpriseand anguish, and started for homeand mother as fast as he could go.The secret of Willies success as agladiator had lain in the fact thathe always got in the first punch, andso when he for tlie first time was therecipient of number one it took allt/.e fight out of him. It is queer how these boyhoodexperiences and impressions stickto us through life. One of the boys in the neigh-borhood was the proud possessorof a billy goat, whose principal rec-reation in life, when he was notconsuming things ordinarily inedi-ble, was to lie in wait around a con-venient corner, or behind a bush, and butt some unsuspecting young-ster flat
