In spite of the fact that he Is a

of his narrow little office to keep them
out while he is transacting his daily
affairs. He hurries along the street

them, and they try To ambush him I'm

David Ranken, Jr., is one of the

tie has been known. He has gone
steadily ahead for the last 80 years
piling up great private fortune, and
his one great passion in life has
been the founding of a magnificent
school of the mechanical trades where
boys and young men might learn to

hands. He has avoided publicity all
the &c years of his busy life. A couple
Of weeks ago he announced that he
expected to turn over all his private
fortune except n few hundred dollars

largement Of the Ranken Trade
school. His statement was copied all
