Grimes that Joseph Ralph Burton can
credit his election. Or perha pS it WO11lG
be better to say that Kansas can blame
the fact that Burton is now her senior
senator on to Frank Grimes. It was he
carefully laid plans of the ShorJgrAss
to working in the bonnetS of men who
were friendly to Burton long before the
legislature of 1901 was elected. He sent
for these men and ushered them into the
little room marked Strictly Private in
the state treasurer's office. where Bytr-
ton was waiting to confer with them.
1t was this work that landed J. R. Bar
ton in the United States senate.
Towards the close of his four years
as treasurer Mr.. Grimes told the te-
DorterS one day that as soon as his
term was UP he would retire from poll
tics'' SO far as he was personally con-
cerned. This is an Old Story, and no
body believed it. But the queer part of
it was that Grimes stuck to his word.
He says he will help his friends but ale
wants no more politics for himself. HE
proposes now to succeed in a business
career. and it looks as though he will
do it. 1t is a fact that President Still
well has respect for and confidence in
him, and the fact that he is inspiring
the confidence and respect of the people
of Kansas in his work with the Orient
road is shown by the following little
item from the Lawrence World:
Frank Grimes. who has been sDeDd-
ing some time in town. is one of the
truest politicians in the state, a man
of reputation and character. He has
hands. AS a promoter of the Orient
road he is the hope Of this town. Our
people must warm I'D to Frank Grimes.
He is the right Sort

friends protested but Grimes was firm.
He is really a good man and / adj
mire him. he told them, a1d want
to make him my friend" And Frank
Grimes probably never had better
friend than his old-tinne enemy and
when the latter died three years later
he asked Mr. Grimes to look after his
little son. Mr.. Grimes adopted the boy.
Harry Trovillo, who is now clerk in the

long in Topeka before his short grass
training began. showing and he became
a statesman About that time Joseph
Ralph Burton was making his first race
for United States senator and Grimes
attached himself to the Abilene cansii-
dates chariot And all through the rise
ard fall of the Burton fortunes Grimes,
with a loyalty worthy of a better cause
worked in season and out of season for
Burton.
In 1898 Mr. Grimes concluded that he
would like to come to Topeka to live,
and while having absolutely no claim
on the office he entered the race for
state treasurer He lived in the ex-
IRENE western part of the state where
there was not a financial institution of
any size within two hundred miles of
him, and his county had only two dele
gates in the state convention-but he
won. His nerve did it.
Then Grimes became Burton's man
ager. and it is to the headwork OF Frank

THE HAND OF PROVIDENCE.

lawyer, land got down there day he

him an ugly one to handle. tried to he
easy on him, but he finally fiared up ahd
said that if I was in Galveston next day
he would put six bullets into me-
That night the waters rose and a BOT
of us were driven into the garnet of the
hotel, where I stopped. AS soon as the
waters had subsidized and we could get
down we set out to help the citizens clear
away the debris.
Almost the first body we came across
was that of my old man. He had a
loaded six shooter in his right hand and
a grim look on his face, and there was
no doubt that when he had found the va
tiers rising he had set out to pay me an
early call and finish up my law business

But once in a while there is an excep-
ton. One of these is Frank Grimes,
former state treasurer and now fiscal
agent for Kansas for the Orient road.
Few men ever started in politics with
few chips as Grimes and succeeded
in going so far, and then at the height
of his political career announced that
he had enough and that he proposed to
retire to private life and make a sue
cess in business
And Mr. Grimes bids fair to succeed
in business the same as he did in poll
tics He is not at all bashful about
counting success. The first thing he did
when he got out of his state Office was
to plunge into the manufacture of shirts
and no one was too high or too low for
him to solicit an order from He had
his shirt factory on the high road to
success when President Stiiweu, the
Orient, who had been secretly watching
Mr.. Grimes from afar and noting his
energy, swooped down upon him and in
sisted that he take the job of booming
the Orient road and its securities among
the people of Kansas. Grimes took the
job and went to work at it. and he is
succeeding so we'll that he has been
obliged to drop the shirt-making bust
ness and give his entire time to the Or
tent.
A business success is really Frank
Grimes highest ambition. After he fin
ished his common school education back
at his old home in Ohio he put hlmSet
through commercial college at Dayton,
Ohio in order to get business educa-
ton. Afterwards he moved to Iowa,
where he was married to Miss Clara
Carter, and when the boom of the
eighties broke out in Kansas they came
TO the Sunfiower state, not stopping I'M
til nearly to the Colorado line. Wichita
county was just being settled. and Mr..
Grimes chose the new town of LeOti for
his home Not far away was the rival
town of Coronado, and between the two
a bitter county seat war broke out,
which eliminated in a bloody tragedy.
Grimes town won and he was chosen
register of deeds.
An incident of this county seat war
shows one of Mr.. Grimes chief charac-
teristics He incurred the personal en-
nifty of one of the Coronado boomers to
the extent that the other man was look
ing for him with big revolver. Re
volver episodes were quite common in
those days however. On one occasion
the other man mistook a brother of Mr..
Grimes for Frank himself and came
near shooting him before he discovered
his error. The revolver that his enemy
carried during those days is one of Mr.
Grimes keepsakes, and this is how he
got it:
After the war was over and Mr..
Grimes was elected register of deeds
one of his first acts was to appoint his
old time enemy as his deputy. His
