ss1ifee md Mr.. Depew wAs such : big
msa. eH4 vas q 4 big desk with lot Of
pap9ty ana letters o. it.
When he saw me he threw his papers
asa1e and leaned back in his big chair
AID threw his foot up on his desk and
stsfed At me and kind Of lgrinned at me.
r was going to run ont sure. but |
thought better not, as that would not be
right for wanted to see him. He didn't
say anything for it seemed to me five
minutes. neither did /.
Then I happened to think that my cap
was Cd my head; then l thought politely
Iwould excuse myself. said Mr.. De-
pew will you kindly excuse me Is my
head has been blistered, and that pre-
venta me from takeing off my cap.
Then be Laughed and that made me
feel ~ though was more at home. Well!
Well! he said you are not like lot of
the Presidential candidates they have got
6wslled Heads.
Then he laughed some more and l
thought to myself better had start talk
ing. knew that Chauncey Depew was
a poor boy and is now rich and great man
and was bound to have him tell me how
to get up in the world. He should like
to have you tell me, Mr.. Depew, how to
get up in the world. He didn't laugh
any more and looked seriously and said
thst's pretty big question to answer.
Mr.. Depew then said What do you mean
by getting up in the Worlda
1 said meant for poor Office boy like
me for instance that hasn't much of an
education. How can l become President.
He then looked at me with frown on
his face and said in y low tone that al
most scared me Young man if you start
out .with the idea of becoming President
Of the United States you will never
amount to anything in any kind of bust
II you think you. would like to become
President of the United States you will
goainto politics. And if you 60 into pol
tiles y0u will waste lot of time and
somebody else will get ahead Of you.
You may get in Office which may pay
you agood deal more than you earn, but
itwon't. last long because You will have
tospend all you earn to keep up ip good
standing or get another job.
"Don't touch politics until you can af-
ford it an oficeis an expensive luxury.
Then / thought to myself that l did
not like the idea of becoming President
after what he had told me so much as I
did before.
Well then l asked him what should l
do SO as to become somebody in the
world. Well let's see he said as he sat
back in bis chair. .asss1.
Well the first thing for an Office boy or
any other boy who works, is to make the
man who is in charge Of HIM feel that no
other boy could fill the bill; that no other
boy could take his place, he must make
himself worth more than any other boy
would lie in disposition: Then you must
study like fun. $50.
Then / ask him must study certain
kind Of books. He said study your bus
inesa first and read all the good books
you can. .
The main thing for you to do is to let
your employer know that you are worth
more than your salary. Jump in and do
all the work you can do, work overtime.
If you do all this no man is going to ask
you to be An Office boy all your life. The
men up above are looking for good men
you will surely be promoted.
Luck and chance don't figure. it is the
hard workers that get ahead. After you
ONCE begin being promoted it's all mat.
ter Of -FOUR own self whether you get to
the top or not. Be little more agreeable
to people under you and equal to you
than those above.
Well Mr.. Depew says it seems that it
costs lot Of money to get up in the
world. Nc. Sir my boy Money has not
anything to do with advancement he said.
Well / am trying to save what little
money can afford to save out of the
money that earn.
