college with nothing towards carrying
him through but a strong ambition
born OF healthy hours. healthy diet
and healthy work, was a familiar OBJ
ject to the youthful mental eye. In
these times. however, so little is heard
of the man who blacks boots to see him
through, or shovels snow to pay for his

West and has found it comparatively
easy to go through the first years OF
the course substituting as conductor on
the street cars. The exacting hours OF
the final year and the work required
OF him at college preclude that now
and he finds himself confronting a Sc.
rious questionable question OF whether
he must give up on theverge Of his goa
because he is friendless In a city full OF
riches, or interrupt his development fol
a years labor In which to raise a littl,
money. He Is willing to work. OF
course, at such work as will not max,
his progress In college impossible. Thai
Is evidenced by the fact that recent,
he stopped at the house of a we'll
known physician and offeredh services
to look after the fires in the house foi
his meals That necessity provided for
he thought he might pull through b,
substituting Saturdays and Sundays OF
