ow,Stranse he Should Send a Paltry Two Dollars

How Strange he Should Send PaItry Two Dollars
OF course, it might be that no letter had
come from Uncle Ben, and in that case he
would simply go ahead with the distasteful
job until he did hear from Uncle Ben.
The distance to his boarding place was
not great, and young Bolen covered it in a
short time. 1t was mid-afternoon when he
stepped from the hallway into the front
room, which served as reception room, par
lor and sitting room to patrons of the place,
and there was no one about Bolen stepped
to the mantel and ran hurriedly over the
mail left there by the landlady for her board
ers Sure enough, there was letter for
him. and Bolen thrilled with pleasure as he
noted the address in the familiar heavy
handwriting of Uncle Ben.
He opened the envelope eagerly, but his
smile gave place to an expression of sur
prised disappointment as he disengaged
two dollar bill from the written pages. How
strange that Uncle Ben should send him a
paltry two dollars And then he read
Dear Nephew:
"Your letter received several days ago.
Maybe you we're looking for an answer
sooner, but I couldn't answer until I had
figured out what ought to write. Because,

had encountered in finding an opportunity
in keeping with his capacity, delicately ex-
pressing latent fear that financial need
might force him into business environ
ment that would interfere with the develop
ment of his career, and in the back of young
Bolen's mind there was rather hope that
Uncle Ben would send him sufficient money
to finance further search for position that
would afford real opportunity to a young
man.
AS he neared his boarding place young
had sensed the situation, and had sent him
office and notify the manager that he would
not take the job that had been offered him.
Abilene weekly reflector. [volume] (Abilene, Kan.) 1888-1935, 1915-08-12

Instead, he applied his strength and ability
to conditions as they came to him and made
opportunities for himself, with the result
that he was respected and useful man in
his day and generation. 1t was his habit,
and the habit of his sons and daughters to
be useful in whatever capacity presented it
self, and to rise above obstacles. His sons
came west to Ohio with the advancing
frontier. The development of frontier was
the task of the men of their generation and
the one that came after them, and they met
the poverty, the hardshps and the dangers
which attended that task uncomplainingly.
Your great-grandfather, when he settled in
Illinois, had less money than you took with
you to the city in which you expect to make
your career. No job was open to him. He
was compelled to wrest living, while es-
tablishing home, from a raw region threat
ened by hostile savages. But he was not
discouraged and he triumphed. And when
your grandfather came home from the army,
broken in health and without money, he
did not complain because he did not find
opportunity at hand, made to order. There
was task for the men of his generation,
and he turned to it. He came to these

my boy, can see from the way you write
that you are drifting away from the quail
ties on which the Bolens have always prided
themselves, and it puzzles me- know it
is natural for young men to think that all
the good opportunities have been picked up
by the fellows who came before them, and
| know that you are finding it harder than
you looked for to get chance to show your
ability right from the jump. But, boy, it
isn't hard to show your quality any time
and mostly the chaps who show their quail
ity to start with don't have to look for
chances to show their ability later I'm

Young Bolen had found job, after
months search. But he was not elated. In
stead as he turned away from the Office in
which he had engaged to begin work the
following Monday, his manner was rather
that of one disappointed in search for en-
ployment. And the manner accurately indi-
Gated his feeling, too
The young man had come to the city from

previously. Then he entertained hopes of

the outset Bright, we'll educated, as are

resources, particularly when the latter are
none too robust to start with. And young
Bolen was running short of money. So he
had rather half-heartedly accepted the job
that had been offered him, not because he
embraced it as an opportunity to prove his
quality, but that he might maintain himself
until something more to his liking turned up.
AS he turned away from the office the
sound of postman's whistle suggested to
him that the afternoon mail had been de-
livered at his boarding place, and he turned
his steps lesurely homeward AS he walked,
rejecting on the tremendous obstacles that
young man must meet at the outset of his
career, it occurred to him that an answer
was due to the letter he had written to
Uncle Ben Bolen ten days previously.
Without sons or daughters of his own
Uncle Ben was sort of guide, philosopher
and friend" to all the young Bolens. Family
ties we're strong with the old man, who was
comfortably situated financially, and he was
deeply interested in all his Young kin-folks.
The young man did not ask for money
when he wrote to Uncle Ben, but he knew
the older man seldom declined the request
of needy relative for financial help. And
he had told him all about the difficulties he

they say, and nine times out OF
ten the well-born chap who
keeps in mind the record and
traditions of his family will run
true to the type. That is what
have always expected you to
do. In your letter you COM
plain bit about being short OF
money and you say you are
discouraged because it seems
thatyou can't get a startwithout
money or friends to back you.
Your great great grandfather
Bolen didn't have any friends
to back him when he landed in
America, a stranger in a
strange land, and three thou
sand miles from relative. Do
you know how much capital he
had? Just two dollars, the
amount | enclose with this let
ter. Neither did he have a job,
nor could he have found en-
ployment had he tried. He
hacked home out of the Vir-
ginia wilderness, only to come
back from the war a few years
later to find it destroyed by
Indians. He had no money
then, but he did not complain
and he was not discouraged.
Abilene weekly reflector. [volume] (Abilene, Kan.) 1888-1935, 1915-08-12

opportunity TO employ the tai
ents, possession of which he
was we'll aware.
But it had not been so easy,
after all, to find opportunities
that to Bolen seemed to offer
the starting place one of his
caliber deserved. Several minor
positions, with low wages and
work of routine or mechanical
character, had been offered
him, to be sure. But he de-
clined those offers. Young
Bolen was not then short OF
funds, and he knew he could
do better. 1t did not stand to
reason that a young man OF
his quality could get nothing
better than a place that would
afford a bare living in return
for days spent in discharging
routine duties of commonplace
character. OF course, young
Bolen was willing to start at
the bottom and work up, all
right, but he was beginning to
be impatient at the apparent
disposition of older folks to put
young men of his class in po-
sitions from which they could
not rise.
Hunting for work, unsuc-
cessfully, is heart-breaking. 1t
