A HARD JOB

Pueblo Star-Journal:-
Twenty thousand carloads of stones
were picked up and hauled away by
P. J. Jakobsson-E lmquist in creating
land for his farm in Sweden. So no
one objects TO his winning this years
first prize Of the Swedish Agricultural
Association.
Well call him Jake for short.
In 1895 he took three acres that no
one else wanted; it was such u rock
pile. Patiently he set to work dig
ging up the boulders. Finally he had
the stones all removed and the soil
bearing crops. Gradually, with tine
profits saved from his harvests, he
bought more rock piles. Now he has
80 acres, 10 devoted to crops which
support him and his family, and 70
acres of forest which he planted.
Jake used his 10000 carloads of
stone to build beautiful wall around
his farm and . fine highway along
one side.
He and his wife can take things
more easily now, for their nine
children-whose living was wrested
from as hopeless a looking strip of
land as can be found almost any
work.
How many men would have the pa
thence and the confidence in their own
ability to attempt the task undertake
en- by Jake back in 1895? His sue
cess demonstrates that success is very
largely due to the individual himelf,
that no handicap is too big to be over
come, that man can create his own
opportunity.
The story of Jake's life is enough
to make some of the rest of US asham-
ed of ourselves when we grumble or
become discouraged at our lot, though
we have easy shedding compared with
Jake.
Will power can overcome the lack
of opportunity.
A city man living a relatively soft
existence can't help but marvel at

The Story of Two Young People Who We're Destined for
Each Other, Though Every Influence Seemed

The subject was not raised again.
Nevertheless it was somehow un-
derstood in the family that Neale
was going to enter Columbia. And
Neale made no protest.
To tell the truth, as spring adj
vanced and all his classmates be-
gan talking over their plans for
rext year, the uniformity of hav-
ing recognized respectable desti-
nation was not disagreeable. 1t
saved talk, and useless talk about
his affairs was one of the things
Neale detested. Till he could be
really independent and do as he

miny or having people know about
it and talk him over. it might be

it's wiser not to start with too
little preparation. And there's no
need for it yet. It's no hardship
for me. It's a real pleasure for us
to be able to help you to an educa-
ton.
Neale chewed his pen hard.
How hard it was to have things
out with a father! When man
takes it for granted that if you
don't want to go to college you
must want to be a bank clerk or
sell shoes, how are you to make
him understand anything about
Freedom and the Open Road and
Comradeship and Vagabondia, dis
tant countries and ships that smell
of tar and salt like the wharves?
Which College
How could a man in a three
button, pepper-and-salt cut-away
understand? A man who wore
derby hat and went to his office in
the city every day? And Father

that it would be a pity to break
up the family circle. What would
you think of Columbia? They say
since it has moved up to Morn
ingside Heights there is more COL
lege life-and of course it's one Of
the leading universities. :"
Another pause, so long that
Neale felt bound to say something.
"Oh, guess I would like Col.

brought out.
No Protest
Father looked at him for several
minutes. Then he stood up. eve
needn't ssttle it tonight, of course.

again"
But Of course they never did.
They never talked anything over.
