BY A. EDWIN LONG.

To be a circus clown was the boyish
ambition of William S. Stryker, presi-
dent of the Douglas Shoe Stare, Inc,
of Omaha. This ambition was gnaw-
ing at him back in Phillipsburg, N.
J., a good many years ago.
In those days he had no more in
terest in shoes than to know that he
hadA pair when he went through a
brier patch. The rest of the time,
even the shoes in the windows did not
attract his attention.
The loose, torn shoes, with gigantic
soles in which the circus clowns
Topped around the sawdust made
more of hit with him than does the
finest modern $l2 kangaroo. #
Envied the Clowns.
How he eHvied the clowns. How
glad he was when his father left the
farm three miles south of town and
moved to Phillipsburg to engage in
the butcher business, for then the lad
knew he would always be in town
when the circus and the clowns came.
After a while he managed shows of
his own. With the aid of few old
sacks and a paper hat he made him
self appear quite a respectable clown.
He charged admission of the boys
good-sized peanut would admit any
boy in the neighborhood-and thus
young Stryker accumulated quite a
collection of peanuts and an assort-
mert of stomach aches.

ambitions to become a bull fighter
His aversion for male specimens OF
the bovine family dates back TO the
days when he spent his summers on
his fathers ranch in Montana.
When he first went to the ranch
as a tenderfoot the foreman detailed
him to join in a roundup. On an
eventful morning he was sent to GER
tain creek to bring in all of the critters
he could find. He discovered a Mill
tant bull along the creek and was de-
termined to bring the bull in or bust
This bull was of the long-horned
variety and there was flash of evil in
his eyes.
Moorhead made a rush at the ami
NAL with his horse and the animal
made@a rush at the horse, nearly tp-
setting the steed and rider. Moor
head was out alone, several niles
from the nearest person. and the
loneliness of the scene was appalling
to him. He thought his time had
come. He managed to drive the bull
in with the bunch and proudly re-
counted his experience to the lore
man, who had a good laugh when he
explained to Tenderfoot Moorhead
that bulls are not brought in with the
roundups.
II don't think I would be a success
as a bull fighter" related Mr.. Moor
heard, while telling Of his early days
on the range.

In 1880 his father looked to the
west and his eyes rested on Omaha.
Because the city was centrally To-
Gated, he believed it would be a great
metropolis, and he came. He has
never felt that he missed his guess,
and the son has been glad of the
choice since.
Got Job in Factory.
When William finished school he
looked over the want ads. AS. ate
suit he took job in Morris & Goes
Shoe factory. From here ne went
into the Kirkendall factory, and later
into the jobbing business and then
into the retail shoe business. Thus,
today he knows more about shoes
than in his palmiest New Jersey days
he ever knew about clowns. AS presi-
dent of the Douglas Shoe store at III
North Sixteenth street, he is giving
service new in the shoe business.
There he maintains, among other
things, a foot comfort service, which
has grown into really important de-
partment of the place.
Stryker is active as member of
the Omaha Chamber of Commerce,
member of Happy Hollow club, Oma-
ha Athletic club, a member of the
good fellowship committee of the
Omaha Chamber of Commerce, and
is one of the dozen men who direct
the affairs of the Associated Retailers
of Omaha.

his most thrilling experience. He was
a student in the University of Iowa,
and crank on the subject of geology.
He collected fossils day after day, as
small boys collect strings and old
nails. When he had climbed to
height Of 80 feet on the face of the
rock he found the rocks there little
loose and uncertain. He had his toe
planted on a ledge about two inches
wide. just above his head a large
shell protruded from the face of the
rock. With one hand he grasped a
narrow ledge above to steady him
self while he worked at the she'll. 81

ledge" says Vance, "than the rock
