He passed a successful examination be fore the state board of examiners and has been enrolled in the courts of this state as an attorney at law. In a class of 37 Jesse James stood first. His average in all branches was $1 per cent Jesse James is a self-made man. He was handicapped as few boys are The son of an outlaw, he was left an orphan at six years of age, without money and with a bad same to live down. Soon after the burial of his father his mother came (0 Kansas City and made a living for herself and her two children by sewing Jesse went to school until he was 13 yaars old, when he decided that he was oid enough to work for his mother. One Sanday he saw the following adver tisement in a wewspaper: “Wanted—An office boy. T. T. Crit- tenden, Jr.” Jesse answered the advertisement the next morning. Twenty other boys answered it, too, and Jesse was the youngest of them all. Mr, Crittenden at his desk looked over the crowd of boys and beckoned to the smallest of them. “What do you wish, my boy? he asked. “] want to be your office boy.” “What i= your name?” “Jesse James, Jr." Mr. Crittenden was surprised. He was the son of T. T. Crittenden, Sr, governor of Missouri, who offered a reward of $50,000 for the capture, dead or alive, of the outlaw, Jesse James. To get this reward Charley and Bob Ford killed Jesse James. And now here was the son of the dead clerk. He studied at home His mother was his teacher.

It was a dramatic train robbery, as much 50 a8 was any of the robberies of ,a similar nature which bad made his father's name notorious throughout the world He was tried, was ably prosecuted, and was acquitted. But the criminal charge against him was a serious set back to his hopes and ambitions. It had taken all his savings to hire ldw- yers to defend himself, and the worry had caused his mother's health to fall. Soon afterwards she died. Jesse worked harder than ever at his business. He had a chance to sell out, and did so at a good profit. Then he opened s pawnshop and married But he wished to be a lawyer, and he went to the night sessions of the law school here, and all day long he sat in his pawn shop reading law.

He has sold out his pawnshop and opened a law office, and won the first case in which he appeared in court This was in defense of a man charged with the crime of burglary.

Mrs. Eaton, who lives in the rooms over the store was aroused by the noise, and going out scared the law breakers away.
