With such a heritage, it is little wonder that Dan and his two brothers—James Carter and Thomas Francis (“Frank”)—and sister Adelia all showed artistic talent. “Frank” early in life decided to become a cartoonist and ended up on the staff of the comic weekly Judge, but both James and Dan originally chose such mundane careers as the law and civil engineering respectively.

Spring The American Boys Handy Book. CHAPTER I. KITE TIME.

My man flew splendidly; he required no running, no hoisting, no jerking of the string to assist him. I had only to stand on the high bank and let out the string, and so fast did the twine pass through my hands that my fingers were almost blistered. People began to stop and gaze at the queer sight, as my man rose higher and higher, when, suddenly, my intense pride and enjoyment was changed into something very like fright.
