they cannot endure the perplexities and
disappointments that naturally attend
the execution OF practical plans. They
are lost IN their day dreams when they
should be on the lookout for oppor-
tunities. A large per cent of those who
cannot save money are day dreamers:
but, however that may be, the ones who
haven't at least a little money saved are
generally in poor position to selZe op-
portunities even though they recognize
them.

The most noticeable feature in the
career OF self-made men is the keenness
with which they have detected oppor-
tunities, and the diligence with which
they have improved them. Quite two
thirds of the American statesmen.
financiers and distinguished men of
other callings are Self-made men. Some
of them earned their way through
college by toll. and others had only
common school educations.
More than two-thirds of the successful
men OF the Northwest are seif-made.
One Of the most noted of these is
Alpheus B. Stickney. chairman of the
board of directors of the Chicago Great
Western railroad. In fact, Mr.. Stickney

p'ide. AccordiI gly it was ;r:anged
that he should go uack to Maine and
study law in the Office of Josiah Crosby,
then noted lawyer living at Dexter.
The parents had little means to share
with their ambitious son; but he was
strong and healthy, and Informed them
that he felt capable of earning his own
way.
Mr.. Stickney went to Dexter and was
taken into the Office of Judge Crosby as
student. When summer came the
small amount of money he had TO go
upon was exhausted; but he was not
discouraged. He went out into the
country and found a summer school in
need of a teacher. He was employed.
and taught the school till fall. He
saved every dollar of his earnings. for
those were the days when country
school teachers boarded around among
the parents of the scholars at no ex-
pense TO themselves. He returned to
The Office of Judge Crosby and made his
money last through TO the next summer.
Then he went into the country and Sc
cured another school. Thus he worked
his way through until he was admitted
10 the bar. After he became a full
fiedged lawyer he turned his face west

based on this conviction. The COM

whom were old practitioners of consid-
cradle ability and distinction An old
resident of saltwater, who remembers
very well when MIR. Stickney arrived in
the place, says that there were two or
three lawyers to every hundred people
in Saltwater. The young lawyers
who flocked into the place from the
East" says the old settler. found
tough picking. Every one of them
came expecting to find clear field in
which he could at once pick
up a lucrative practice. But they
were sadly disappointed. Most of
them became discouraged and gave up
in despair" But a. B. Stickney was
made of better material. He had worked
before. and he could do it again. He
could hire out on farm if necessary,
and he wasn't ashamed to accept any
honorable means of making living.
However, it did not become necessary
to 20 out as farm hand. He found
employment in the public schools OF the
place as teacher. For three years he
divided his time between teaching
school ard trying occasional cases in
court. Then he became county super
intendent of schools.
During these few years in Saltwater
he was prudent with his earnings, and
managed to increase his funds by small
speculations. At the end of his term as
county superintendent he found him.

buy farm. Upon this he moved and
farmed for year or two.
In 1869 he moved to st. Paul. At that
time Eastern capitalists were consider
ing Minnesota in favorable light. 1t
was their opinion that railroads were in
demand here. Mr.. Stiekney was quick
to discover the favorable sentiment. He
saw in it the opportunity of his life. He
set about at once to organize railroad
company. The undertaking was
greatly to his liking. He proved
to be master as an organizer,

is one of the best examples of self-made
men TO be found in America.
MIR. Stickney was born in 1910 in
small village called Wilton, situated in
Franklin county, Maine. When he was
eight years old his parents moved to
Vermont, locating in the White mount
aims in small town called Sandwich.
Mr.. Stickney lived there with his
parents until he was eighteen years old,
attending the village school winters,
and working on farms during summers.
While following the plow as boy he
conceived an ambition to rise in the
world, Casting about in his mind for
the best means of accomplishing his
cherished end it struck him that the
law profession was the surest and
quickest means. He confided his desire
to his parents, and they approved with
