place for his advancement, so in 1880
he started for the North with very lit
tie means in his possession. He land
ed in Grand Chain, ILL.,, and engaged
in getting out spoke timber and saw
milling. This was little slow so
he left and went to Centralia firm in
the idea that he could do anything
that other men do, and began to work
in the coal mines, where he accumu-
lated sung sum of money, although
he had regularly sent portion Of his
earnings to his father, as he felt it
his duty to continue to help support
the large family Prices for mining
being lowered in Centralia he went to
Peoria in 1883, where better prices
were prevailing. He found on arrival
that one had to. join the coal miners
union to work there, he also found
that coal mining was not considered a
very high calling which would bring
him in contact with the enterprising
people socially or otherwise, SO he
concluded he would learn the barber
trade, which he accordingly did, and
after working as foreman for two
years he came to St. Paul in 1885 and
worked as a journeyman for year.
A friend, Mr.. M. e. Graves, seeing
that he possessed some tact and bust
ness capacity bought the Globe Bar
Der Shop and took Howard into part
nership with him. He conducted this
shop successfully for two years, when
he went into business for himself at
the corner of Fourth and Jackson
streets, where he conducted one of the
leading and most successful shops in
the city. All of this time he was do
ing his duty to his parents, and at
the same time he managed to lay aside
some money for himself until now he

roll street. DR.. Howard says that one
Of the most beneficial experiences Of
his life was when he found himself
without one cent in the small town
of Valley Ride, Ill, with no place to
sleep, except an empty school house,
stable loft or any place he could find.
Too proud to beg he would work all
day for something to eat. One after
noon he was sitting on a fiat car on
a side track in hearing distance Of
two tramps who were talking. Says
one tramp to the other: Mike, do
you know that if a man saves half he
makes, if it isn't but ten cents, he'll
never be broke ~ The remark struck
him and he never forgot it and never
was broke again. Seven Of his nine
brothers and one sister came to St.
Paul, and he succeeded in teaching
three of his brothers the profession
of tonsoia1 artist and now one of the
brothers runs the business in the O.
