tne Evening Sve Ge aaiorio. SHEER Zen oe en a hess] Patent Se Bastieont ana GIVING ONE'S SELF A JOB. ANY a man’s real start in life dates | from his losing a job. If it was! a city job, and most of them are, | the getting out of it meant quit-| ting a boss whose interest in tho! employee only extended from week to week in his best working period, and bevoming a self-em ployer with an eye to future in- dependence and perhaps an old age of leisure and ease. “A Living Without a Boss” is | the title of a book written by a man who faced just such a crisis, and won out—not, of course, with- | out putting up a long and plucky fight. He was a married man of | forty when the platform dropped from under him, and his best days were thought to be over in the profession which for twenty years past had given him a decent city living, and that was about all. | With a total capital of $800 in the bank, and a lot of misel- | Janeous ideas about “going back to the soil”—though they didn’t) know how to plant potatoes, nor the differcnce between a live apple- tvee and a dead one when bare of loaves in winter——this man and his wife started life anew in an $8-a-month farmhouse just far enough from the city to be ontside the belt of suburban rents and roal estate values. | One interesting discovery they made at the outset was that you de not have to be a farmer to make your living on a farm. A kitchen,| gurden, a chicken run and a Belgian hare annex go a long way toward supplying the table and paying for the monthly commutation book. But the real job this ex-city man gave himself out there in| Squashville was a breaking into businese—at first by keeping books | for a livery and express concern, then taking s barbed wire agency, and executing’ real estate commissions on the side. Discovery num- | ber two was the far-reaching one that “The country needs business men. Business would grow about the energetic enterprise of # man going up there with intelligent capacity to handle both the city end and the country end.” The undeveloped opportunities for prosperity; if not wealth, lying about in “shiftless” rural neighborhoods are astonishing when looked over with a practical eye. The reason why these neighbor- hoods are shiftless is that all the energetic young men, and most of 7 ———aaEEEEeEeeOEOOeeeeeee ! the drones as well, have been drawn away by the specious but false | promises of the city. This farm business idea offers no get-rich-quick inducements, nor does it point the way to the promised land of indolence and case. Tt does assure a healihfal, nstural and independent existence, and !s 4 permanency. A man never becomes superannusted at it. “The country is ready to use a man as long as he can totter,” says our former flat-dweller. “He may go to his work leaning on a ane, hut he is welcome. The best local carpenter out hero is seventy-nine, ‘goin’ on to eighty, and still goin’ some,’ as the village parliament that gathers nightly at the store loves to put it.” A Pleasant Book. stumbling YOUNG gir!
