There are some very desirable
jobs in the world if a man could
deliberately take his pick. Being
president of a steel trust doesn't
look SO bad to one who has never
tried it. It would bs quite a snap
to be the Gear of Russia. if that
ruler could just ship his subjects
out of the country and import a
lot of tame ones. All of these jobs
have their good points. and any
one who likes them may take one
of them provided he can get it but
the small boy. of to-day, however,
has a different ideal. The job that
takes his eye is that of the man
who paints up the scores of the
ball game.
