Western Kansas world. [volume] (WaKeeney, Kan.) 1885-current, 1915-08-14

Young Bolen had found a 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
p1oyment. And the manner accurately indi-
Gated his feeling, too
The young man had come to the city from
the home of his widowed mother three weeks
previously. Then he entertained hopes of
a brilliant business career, successful from
the outset Bright we'll educated,
most young men of his generation, of pleas
ing address and more than average appear

not be successful Immediately in finding an

isn't hard to show your quality any time

Instead, he applied his strength and ability
to conditions they to him and made
opportunities for himself, with the result
that he respected and useful in
his day and generation. 1t 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 that came after them, and they met
the poverty, the hardships and the dangers
which attended that task uncomplaining1y.
Your 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 open to him. He
was compelled to wrest living, while es-
tablishing home, from 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

resources, particularly when the latter are
none too robust to start with. And young
Bo1en was running short of money. So he
had rather half-heartedly accepted the job
that had been offered him, not because he
embraced it 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 a postmans whistle suggested to
him that the afternoon mail had been de-
livered at his boarding place, and he turned
his steps leisurely homeward. AS he walked,
rejecting on the tremendous obstacles that
a young man must meet at the outset of his
career, it occurred to him that an answer
due to the letter he had written to
Uncle Ben Bolen ten days previously
Without sons or daughters OF his own.
Uncle Ben was a sort of guide. philosopher
and friend to all the young Bolens. Family
ties strong with the old man, who was
comfortably situated financially, and he was
deeply interested in all his Young kin-folks
The young did not ask for money
when he wrote to Uncle Ben, but he knew

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-

Lorimer's unforgiVeabIe crime was
