Job That Gave Charles Schmidt
a start" Ended in Tragedy
For Youth
THAT GOOD JOB" WILL
SHELTER BOY A YEARS
Half a Century Later He Goes
Behind Those Walls For
Bookkeeping"

LEAVENWORTH,K as,, June 70
Just 80 years ago this month Charles
Schmidt, then a young contractor,
newly married folded his arms and
looked up smilingly at the massive
stone walls OF the Lansing peniten-
tiary and whispered to himself We'll
/ done"
| He said well done" because he
/ had been awarded the contract and
had successfully carried the work
through 1t was a good job and others
had told him so. He smiled because
| he remembered the girl wife at home
for they were yet in their honey
moon, and the money he would re-
ceive Tor that piece Of work would
go far toward making them happy in
home of their own.
Work came without solicitation
then. Charles Schmidts name had
gone out over the state as the kid
contractor" and men Of longer expert
ence envied him. The excellent piece
OF work on the prison walls made
him popular. Always when talking
of the work he referred to it as the
Job that gave him his start" II
had started him on the road to sue
cess, he said.
Then baby boy came to the
Schmidt home.
Two years later little pleasure
trip was made down to Lansing that
the wife might see for the first time
the lob that brought success" The
baby-Arthur they had named him
lclapped his hands and muttered baby
| talk when they returned home and
tried to tell him OF what they had
seen The father and mother mag
ined it to be words of praise for the
great, strong walls his father had
built
Arthur grew into manhood. All his
life his father had asked him TO some
day go to Lansing and see the walls
He explained what they had meant tc
himself and Mrs. Schmidt when they
were married.

they rode away.
At the gates OF the prison the younI
man looked up at the walls. His eye
were red. His shoulders shook an'
he said:
"They had always wanted me to SCI
II, but they never thought It would b.
like this"
The sheriff pushed him on. HI
walked, trembling, into the warden
office. AS guard began measuring
him for his prison suit the youth
moved toward a barred window ant
gazed down past the massive stone
prison walls.
What's he in for?" grumbled the
prison secretary.
"Sellin' liquor in Winfield" re
turned the sheriff.
'"How long'd he get" asked the sec
retaray
-Four years returned the sheriff

looking past the monster walls,
whats yer name?"
| Arthur Schmidt" said the boy.
Then he was led away down a cor
ridor, far from the places where the
real light of day gets In, TO pay for
| his sin behind stone walls-the ones
| that his father had built and which
had sent him on the road TO success
just fifty years ago.
