THE GENEROSITY OF JENKS
By S. Perktna
JENKS is the meanest man on earth.
To believe otherwise would be to
forsake one's Ideals of the great
ness and Justice of humanity. Any
one meaner would not be permitted
to exist I have never liked him. and
"spendthrift" is the best word he can
find for me; but as we live in the same
neighborhood and frequently go home
together, ws find it best to tolerate
'each otffer.
Wa were walking to the tram the
other night Suddenly we came upon
a small crowd clustered around a child,
rery ragged and very dirty. They were
staring at her with the dispassionate
curiosity typical of the London crowd,
. and whether It was Because of the un
usual Interest she. was attracting, or
some private grief, or both together,
nobody seemed to know; but the child
waa wailing dismally.
"What's wrong T" I asked a man on
the fringe of the group. - : -
"I dunno; lost, I appose," was the
Indifferent reply, and he moved off as
though disclaiming responsibility.

scribe as "pushful." was already cross-

The child, wisely I thought, took no
notice of him but continued to sob and
choke and splutter. It was a woman
who solved the mystery.

of the so-called self-made man. He
was born on a farm near Aardal, at
the east end of Sogen Fjord, Norway,
February 10, 1854. There his boyhood
days were spent finding plenty of
Work. Hs waa a strong, sturdy lad,
being fond of his country's sports,
skiing, racing, boating and swimming;
many an Interesting story he tells of
his boyhood days on tne old farm. The
facilities for obtaining an education at
the old home were very limited, the
only schooling he received being from
itinerant religious Instructors who
traveled from farm to farm imparting
Instructions to the children ln one fam
ily and then passing en to the children
on the. next farm, returning again from
time to time.
Hearing great stories of America, and
especially of the United States, at the
age of 18 years he started ror Amen-
ca, landing at Madison, after a tedious
trip, friendless, penniless and unable
to speak or understand the English
language. He soon found friends, and
set to work, with the aid of a spelling
, ' . . ,
dook, to learn tne language or nis new-
ly adopted country, obtaining work on
a farm to pay his passage money for
which he was In debt Tiring of the
farm he succeeded In getting an ap
prenticeship and learned the - tailor
trade, working at that for a. number
of years and for quite a time at Bos
cobel. Growing tired of the bench and
wanting to branch out, he obtained a
clerkship ln a general merchandise store
and waa able, after a few years, to Save
enough money to go Into business for
himself. Looking around for a location
Soldiers' Grove, Crawford county,
seemed a good opportunity. He opened
up a general store at that point and
it has been his home ever since, his
business Increasing from year to year.
In 1886 his store was destroyed by fire,
entailing a loss of $1 0.060, this being
attributive to Incendiaries, but was Im
mediately rebuilt. Governor Davidson
is interested in milling, farming and
stock breeding.
In 18C, when the cause of the Re
publican party appeared hopeless ln
