, How would you Mke 70 beonsof our assistant
caahiers2'
Two years ago this narne man. then the
cashier, was once more called into the presi-
dents Office and informed that at the meet
ing. Of the board OF directors that day he
institution, vice the old incumbent, de-
ceased
And, my boy" the president added.
ns he congratulated his new assistant,
, its all due to the way you got OF those
guests that morning eight years ago in
: the hotel without making mistake in the
money"
Innate business acumeu gave these two
college men their start, love showed tho
way in third case
This particular man, when his college
Amherst--closed, attached himself TO a
hotel in New England. which is more noted
for it's splendid golf course than for its
cuisine, His special duty was to give
first lessons 10 beginners at golf, in which
game he qualified as an expert.
Along about the middle Of the season
there came TO this hotel a girl from the
West, and In her train was rich and in
dulgent papa and an easy-going mamma.
The girl had never seen golf COURSE
much less PLAYED the game, according 10
her own confession-but her desire to learn
it WAS great.
Somehow it fell to the lot Of the college
man tO take this young woman out on the
links for her initial lesson, and when she
came back to the hotel she was enthusiasts
tic over the sport more than ever Also,
she mingled with her newly-acquired golf
lingo much that appertained to her instruc-
tor, bu. her easy going mother and her
induigent father attributed 1t all TO the
young mans evident ability to teach golf
in the correct fashion.
Two or three weeks later they changed
their minds, when they We're informed by
the young man that he loved their daugh-
ter devotedly and wanted their consent
to make hcr his v ifc.
As the old folks had been in tho habit
for years OF giving way to their child's
slightest desires, they gave way to her
in this; and, also, at her suggestion, the
father later ON took occasion to inform
his prospective son-in-law that he would
make him member OF his financial family
as well.
So, when the time for fall weddings came
around, they were married, and to-day
they are living out West in the same town
with the old folks, for the son -in-law Is
the right-hand man Of his father-in-law
In all the latters important business en-
terprises; and the older man swears that the
younger Ia as good at driving a deal az he
was at driving a golf ball in his college
days.
1t is far cry from cerkship in sea-
shore hotel to politics, but among the poll
ticians Of New York there is a college grad
uate who arrived by this route.
In this mans veins flows goodly por
ton Of Irish blood, and he is witty and
suaye, and withal man who has the power
Of automatically handling men and putting
them at heir ease
He displayed this characteristic to such
a marked degree while he clerked in the
hotel that he came to be known among the
patrons az the man with the steady smile
1t was through this characterization that
a politician stopping at the hotel took
serious note OF the clerk, with the result
that the latter was taken into the formers
law Office, and along with the practice
OF law taught the devious ways Of politics.
Now the college graduate is capable
OF acting as political mentor to many who
are his associates, and, in fact, he is fire.
quently brought into consultation by some
Of the powers that be.
These are typical cases OF the college
youth who gets up through his vacation
work. Others may be found in managers
or even proprletors Of summer and winter
resort hotels themselves.
