REFUSES TO BE TURNED DOWN.
The conversation turned to dis
cussion of young men who had made
good in the face of unequal handi-
caps.
Did you ever come across an au-
burn-haired chap from Davenport who
signs his John Henry as Harry "
Scott?'' inquired the one who prtdes
himself on his intimate knowledge of
current social and commercial history
in these parts. There's a chap OF
whose early struggles 1 happen to
know something. OF course you are
aware that today he is the vice presi-
dent of one of the largest concerns in
our neighboring city.
Harry was bookkeeper in a country
town lumber Office out in Iowa. He
was a good one, and he knew that he
was. He took the job when very
young and held it down for a oonsid-
cradle time, and never had been called
for an error. There was a cranky old
auditor who periodically dropped into
the village to check up his accounts.
Harry did not object to this, but the
auditor seemed to take delight in pick
ing at him, criticising little things ap-
parently in an effort to make him feel
that he was not as efficient as he plum
ed himself on being. Harry counter
anced the gait until his patience was
worn. and he made up his mind that
the next time the auditor called him,
when he was guiltless of any inaccur-
acy in the keeping of his accounts,
he would forthwith throw up his job
The crouch appeared on his regular
trip. It was the same old story. Harry
held himself to his promise and inform
ed the auditor that he was through that
very night. He was asked II he would
not remain until some competent man
could be found as his successor. Not
him. He admits himself that he did
not have over five dollars in his
clothes when the following day he set
out for Davenport He did not waste
any time in seeing the sights of the
city, but started out bright and early
in quest of a meal ticket He knew
the clerical side of the lumber bust
ness and he decided he would canvass
the o11ces of the concerns engaged in
that line. He showed in the Office of
the U. n. Roberts company. He was
received by the head of the company.
but was politely told that there was
not a vacancy at that time His name
was taken and he would be notified at
the first opening. Harry was ON his
way, but he was not to be discouraged.
He returned the next day, and receiv-
ed the same answer, with the further
explanation that it was useless for him
wasting his time calling at the Office
until he had been notified to come.
Momentarily young Scott was crushed,
but after he had reached the open air
he pulled himself together and deter
mined on a fresh advance on the NOR
row. When he reappeared before Mr..
Roberts the latter wanted to know if
his memory was affected and that if
it was so dull that he could not under
stand the proprieties of business; that
time was too valuable to be thus sacri-
