Detroit Free Press. “Father, I'm vanquished,” sighed the young man in soft raiment and long hair who had just come from the city to the old homestead. “The world is too much for me. I wrote. My poems and my stories were rejected. I paint- ed. There was no market for my pic- tures. I lectured on scientific subjects. The expenditure was always more than were the receipts. I flirted with for- tune on the market. She jilted me. I tried a clerkship. My mind was noton my business, and I was discharged. I became an insurance agent. Not a policy could I place. In sheer despera- tion I became a politician. I failed and paid all attendant expenses. I loathe the past. The future offers me noth- ing.” “My poor, poor boy,” said the fond mother as she wiped her glasses. “You know home is always here.” “You bet it is,” from the father with square jaws and snapping blue eyes. “1t’s been here all the time you’ve been spending our hard-earned money try- ing to do someting easy that you're not fitted for. I don’t want. no healthy young man that weighs 180 pounds whining around me, throwing up his hands and saying there’s nothing in the world for him to do. I'll show you dif- ferent. Go up steirs and get into that old blue jean suit of yours, change that white linen for a hickory shirt, put on them cowhide boots you left in the closet when you went out to conquer America, and grease ’em. Then go along with me. I'm breaking up that ten-acre field of stump land, and T’ll start you on an honorable career that you’re liable to succeed in. No coax- ing now, mother.
