story, however brief, of such a man as
that must be a pleasing task to any
American writer
Sir Thomas Upton was the son of a
Scotch wage-earner in Glasgow, where at
the age of ten gears he began his bus
mess career as a messenger boy His
wages amounted to just two shillings
siXpence per week-say 60 cents of our
money-10 cents day and board himself.
But. young as he was, the germ of the
great man showed Itself even then. He
had to work all day to earn his siXpence,
but he had the energy and ambition to
go to school at night whether he were
weary or not from the work Of the day.
Eventually-it was when he was fifteen
years old-the ambition of the lad made
him turn from the streets of Glasgow and
look away to America, where so many
of his countrymen had won fortune and
some had won fame.
Taking a steerage passage he landed
here-just where the writer's incomplete
notes do not tell, but 1t is likely that
Charleston was the port, for he was for
two years after that at work on a rice
plantation In the lowlands of the coast.

training, were known to get on swiftly
