the evolution of Mr.. Schwab was taken
This man Schwab had been manager
Of men and builder of Industries, but
was he a man of ideas? He appeared
before the industrial commission and
talked so well and so cogently that the
world listened and many comments were
from the lips of this man who at the
age Of forty was at the head Of the
greatest combination In the world The
world was interested Mr.. Schwab talked
to the boys. Here he was original to a
degree. He was bold enough to tell the
boys that college education was de-
fusion and snare; that they got so far
behind in the race, by stopping to fill up
their noodles with college stuff, that they
never could catch up. This was awful.
Had not the preachers and the teachers
and the great professors with long wh,s-
kers and longer hair, told US always that
above all our getting we should get
knowledge and that college was about
the only place to get the article? How
dared this man Schwab say such an ICON
oclastic thing in the hearing of boys?
But it was said by Schwab and he had
a record to demonstrate the truth of his
theories. The world was interested again,
and many believed that the long-haired
oracles in our colleges and universities
were semi-fakes anyway. This was the
second step in the evolution of Mr.
Schwab.
But the iconoclastic evolution had just
begun Many a man when he takes unto
himself a help-meet breads that ancient
ogre, his mother-in-law. Not SO. Mr.
Sohwab. He not only does not dread his
mother-in-law but he builds a church to
her memory before she has shufHed off
this mortal coil. Many a man would de-
light to build a marble monument to the
memory of his mother-in-la before she
seeks the golden shore if he We're only
satisfied she would be ready as soon as
the monument is finished. Nothing Of
this kind seems to have entered the head
Of Schwab. A church for his mother IN
law, was exactly in the line of the start
ling acts of this modern idol-smasher.
Not content with this mother-in-law
innovation, schwab as a matter of dl-
version kissed twenty women in twenty
minutes, thus taking the belt from the
former champion, Hobson. Now, kissing
200 women is not such great feat, If
a. man is blessed with good health and
has plenty OF time. In fact. it is a
recreation enjoyed by many man, but 1t
ought to be distributed over years, per-
maps, and is never INDUCED in in the
presence of wife or other onookers. Here
Schwab was again painfully original
He not only broke the record as to time
and numbers, but he did this in the pres
ence of his wife and when he had fin
ished the last of the bunch of ZOO he
looked about for more women to KISS
and finding none finished up with his wife.
Now this will never do Suppose it
should become the custom for men to
kiss other women In the presence OF
their wives, what man would be safe
on the street when his wife is with him?
Here Mr.. Scnwab showed his disregard
for the conventionalities of society to a
degree that may become dangerous.
What Schwab will do next can only
be conjectured. He has proved his great
ness in special lines and now few people
who have followed his career doubt his
versatility. With the start that he has
made he will become a social lion. He
will-but we dare not predict anything
of him; his genius is too eccentric. Great
is Schwab in all things that make Up
the sum of life. Carnegie knew what
he was doing when ne contracted with
him for that 81, 100000 salary. BY the way
that salary has all been paid in adj
vance-$5, 100000.
