SON OF A FARM LABORER—AN'INSAT-
lABLE THIRST FOR KNOWLEDGE.
Be Owes Much of His Success to His Early
Instructors—During the Civil \Var tlle
Ship He Was Commanding Was Blown
Up in Charleston Harbor.
Acting Rear Admiral William T.
Sampson owes his position in the navy
to his own individual efforts, and not
to any influence. He has worked hard
for all his honors and well deserves
them. He is the son of poor parents,
had to divide his time, when a boy,
between work and study, and in the
face of seemingly insurmountable dif-
ficulties he has, by close application to
his duties and to study, risen to his
present high rank. He was born in
Palmyrna, N. Y., February 8, 1840. His
father was a. farm laborer and could
not afford to let his son devote much
time to his school books. Young
Sampson was not willing to do so, even
had his father been disposed to permit:
him, to spend his time as other boys
did. When old enough he went to
school, but the conditions were such
that he needs must find time, too, to do
the chores, cut and pile wood, and do
much other hard work known to far-
mers’ boys.
He pluckily kept hard at work with
his books, however, and Principal Far-
mer of the Classical Union School took
a great liking to the boy and helped
him in his, studies. The young man
had an insatiable thirst for informa-
tion, and despite the fact that he had
less time to devote to it than many of
the other boys in the school, he soon
distanced them in the race for knowl-
edge.
‘WILLIAM T. SAMPSON.
Mr. Farmer enlisted the interest cl
W. H. Southwick of Palmyrna, and.
Congressman 'E‘.‘B. ._Morgan in'young‘
Sampson, with the: result that Mr.‘
Morgan offered to appoint him to the
Naval Academywhen therewas a. va-
cancy. When the proposition was
made Principal Farmer decided to
vmake' a special effort to bring the boy
through with flying colors, and he of-
fered to give his pupil some special, in-
struction to fit him for the Annapolis
examination. The result was that he
had the necessary books and worked
hard over themfiVVhen the examination
was held young Sampson’s percentage
was higher than that of any other ap-l
.plicant for the nomination. ‘
William Sampson entered the Naval
Academy in 1857, and was‘graduated
first in his class three years later. His
first cruise was made in~the frigate’
Potomac in 1861, and during that year
he was promoted master. In 1862 he.
was commissioned a lieutenant, and1
was detailed to the practice ship John;
Adams, 0n which he remained until:
the end of 1863, when he went back to;
the academy. After that he got his:
first taste of war and distinguished
himself highly. He was detailed to the:
ironclad I’atapsco in 1864. The Pataps-;
co was one of the vessels on the South;
Atlantic blockadillg squadron. On Jan-,
uary 15, 1865, Lieu-tenant Sampson wasI
executive officer of the Patapsco, and?
he was ordered by the admiral of the?
fleet to enter Zharleston harbor andi
remove or destroy all submarine mines?
and torpedoes with which the city was»?
protected from invasion. This was an
exceedingly vdiflicv; and dangerous“;
task, as, for several days the Cohfed-J
crates :had devote". all their time and?
labor to stocking the water with these:f
explosives in order to repel any ad-E
vance. i
As soon as the ironclad entered the
harbor she was met with a rain of,
bullets from the sh'arpshooters on the
forts. Several bf the men on the Pa-
tapsco were struck. and Lieutenant,
Sampson, who was on the bridge, sce-,
ing his men fallloa' all around 111111,.
ordered them below while he remained
target for the rebel rifles. The men.
d scarcely obeyed the order when
there was a big explosion, and the iron—'
clad was hurled out 01' the water. She
had been blown up‘by a mine. Then
the vessel sank, and several of the-
crew went down with her. Lieutenant
Sampson was blown about 100 feet, but
he was rescued with about twenty-five
of his men. ‘ :
After this he was detailed to the Col-
orado, the flagship of the European,
station, and while on that vessel he was
commissioned a lieutenant commander.
He was attached to the Naval Acad—
emy from 1868 to 1871, and was on the-
Congress in 187273. In 1874 he was made
commander and his first vessel there-
after was the Alert, which he confilan-I
ded for two years. Then for two years
he was at the Naval Academy, and’
from 1879 to 1882 he commanded the
Swatara. on the Asiatic station. The
two years following be was'stationed at
the Naval Observatory, and during
that time was a member. of the Inter-
national Prime ‘Merl‘dian and Time
Conference. Hehad charge of the tor-.
pedo station in 1885-6, and was a mem--
ber of the Board on Fortifications and
Other Defence: at the same time. ‘
l
I ADMIRAL SAMPSON. I From 1886'to 1890 he was superlnte’h I
dent of the Naval Academy, and in 1889 I
he was a. delegate from the United
IStates to the International Maritime
’Conference held at Washington.
He was promoted to the rank of cap-
tain in 1889, and the next year he was
placed in command of the cruiser San
iFrancisco. In July, 1892, he'was in-
‘spector of ordnance at the" navy yard.
Washington, and the next year he was
made chief of the bureau of ordnance.
He held that position until the‘. Iowa.
was ready to be commissioned, when"
.he was detailed to that battleship. ’
When the fleet was sent down to Ha- ‘
vana. Captain Sampson was placed in
command, and raised his flag on the
cruiser New Pork. At the outbreak of
the war he was made acting rear ad-
miral by President McKinley.
Socially, Admiral Sampson is a great
favorite. He is a slightly built man
and his shoulders a trifle rounded. His
hair and beard ‘are gray, his eyes blue,
set deep beneath strongly marked
brows. He is affable, but a. man of few
words. Nothing disturbs the evenness
of his temper; he is quick to grasp a
situatidn and resourceful in an emer-
gency. ‘
Admiral Sampson has been married
twice. He has four daughters by his
first marriage. They are Mrs. Roy C.
Smith, wife of Lieutenant Smith of the
United States navy; Mrs. Jackson, wife
of Ensign R. H. Jackson, United States
navy, and Miss Nannie and Miss Olive
Sampson. His second wife was Miss
Burlzing of Canandaigua, and there are
two sons by this marriage, Ralph, ten
years old, and Harold, eight years old.

ACHIEVEMENT OF A BlG FEAT.
A News Issue Printed on Paper Made from
Trees Folll d the Same Day. '
The Stroudsbury, Pa., Daily Times
accomplished a surprising feat a short
time ago by getting out an issue print-
ad on paper made that day from two
trees chopped down the same morning.
This may at first seem an astounding
, assertion, but the following description
(from the paper itself will prove that
izuch a thing can be done:
i
"It was just on the hour of seven
I'l‘clock when workmen of the Minsi
{Pulp and .Paper Mills walked to the
'tree, Which stood in all its freshness,
I9. short distance from the works, with
lEllGl‘D axes in their hands.
l “Arrived at the spot they soon struck
{a death blow to the poplar and in a
‘iew minutes the tree lay prostrate on
the ground. p‘Horses were at hand and
they were fastened to the trunk and
bore it to the mill. Two trees were
necessary to secure the amount of pa,-
per for our extra edition.

"‘Stripped of branches the trees‘ were
quickly cut into two-foot lengths and
the bark taken off. Then the wood
was thrown into the grinder and in a
jiffy the huge stones were crushing and
mashing it into pulp. In an hour or
so the poplars were in shape to be
sucked up’into the machine for refin-
:ng and extracting the water.
"This done, it was passed into' the
'fourdriner,’ and by the hour of nine
o’clock-the paper you now have in your
hand had come from the machinery,
:lean and ready for use.
“A Times man was at hand with a.
wagon, and into the vehicle was placed
the roll necessary for the edition, and
by 10.30 it was in the press room ready
to be printed upon. '
"The balance of the work» necessary
to turn out the newspaper is too well
known to need description, but suffice
It to say that in eight and one-half
hours the living poplar trees were cut
down, made into paper and ready for
delivery.” ,

BRAVE AS THE BURNING DECK BOY. '
Young Officer Slaps to Light 3 Pipe eta
Critical Moment.
“He's a cool ’un,” is the way the sol-
diers in a certain English regiment de-
scribe one oftheir officers. The circum-
stallgcs which gave thisoflicer his rep-
utation is related by Rudyard Kipling.
He writes:
A very young officer, who had gone.
almost straight from school to the ar-
my, and thence to India, was leading
his company through a. rocky pass, on
returning from a. scouting expedition.
They were beset by the enemy, who
fired at them from behind rocks, and
the men were growing very unsteady.
Those in the rear began to be impa-
itient, and shouted to the men in front:
l"Hurry up! What are you waiting for
there?” .
, The young officer answered quite
coolly: "Hold on a minute! I’m light-
ing my pipe!” ’
And he struck a match and lit it.
gThere was a roar of laughter, and a"
:soldier called out, “Well, since you’re
:50 pressin', I think I’ll have a. pipe my-
Iself." And he, too, struck a. match
and began to smoke. This bit of fun
'steadied the men, and they earn.
