Somewhere in this country, perhaps
on some poor farm where the father
wrestles with a sterile soil and discour
aging conditions. there is growing up a
little tOwheaded, barefooted boy, get
ting his education partly at the little
red schOOlhouse and more by using
bright eyes and sharp ears as he drives
the cows from the pasture, goes hunt
ing and trapping in the woods and
looks for birds nests in the orchard
and hedgerow, who will so years hence
be the president of this great republic
Another such boy now herding cattle
on some western plain will ride over
the country in his special car as the
president of some big line of railway.
while another one will be hanging on
to the brake beam of a freight car as
a tramp. 1t all depends on the boy.
