How the Boy Got There.

Sometimes bovs wonder how they
can get start in the world. Here is
a true story of how one boy began.
A neighbor had a lot of cows to
milk. This boy hurried around and
milked his part of the home G1iry,
then he skipped down to the neigh
boris and milked five or six more
cows, every night and morning. For
this he received penny for each COW.
These pennies he put away in his
bank What was his bank Just an
empty matchbox. How many times a
day did he get that box down and fig
ure uD his account? | don't know;
try it yourself and see.
He added to this little store by sell
ing nice mellow apples on train that
stopped near his home a few minutes
every evening. The pennies he made
this way went also into the bank.
When the boy had twenty dollars he
bought pair of boots, a geography
and some other school books, and went
at it to learn all he could that winter
lnlS DldH ue oluSh " a hNAaDSA -
years.
The bank got full and he grew
strong enough to work and earn more
that it would hold. He kept pegging
away, working summers and going to
school winters, till he had a good edu-
cation. Then he went out and bought
farm of his own.
someway the habits he had formed
of saving, helped him all the way
along. He did not lay his books up on
the shelf and forget all about them.
He worked away all by himself. He
was just ready to get his education
when he left the school,
Folks found out what was in that
young man. They made him go to the
state Legislature and do lot of other
work for them. But he was always
glad to get back to the farm, and he
is there today.-Farm Journal.
