The Boy and the Opportunity.


Not long ago. the Telegraph an
nounced that r. f. NJ. Cowie of Den
yer had succeeded II. S. Julier as vice
president and general manager of the
eastern lines of the American Express
company. An interesting fact that
was not mentioned was that Mr.. Julier
entered the company's employ as an
office boy in 1856, and in the year
1881. at Cleveland. Mr.. Cowie entered
the express business as Mr.. Julier's
messenger. OF course, neither of
them could look ahead and see the
time when the clerk of 1856 would
be general manager, and in turn be
succeeded by the messenger boy of
1881. In the course of time, Mr..
Cowie himself must be succeeded by
someone in the high office. and so on.
and so on down. Anyone who decries
the lack of opportunity for the Amer
ican boy is not honest with himself
or his country. The opportunities are
just as numerous as they ever We're.
and success depends on the boy him
