BOYS WITH A BUSINESS.

What Two Boya Have Done Other Boys May do. The same rule that makes a success ful business man makes a successful business boy; that is, to find something which people need, and then let them know that you can supply it Of course, there are certain standards kinds of business of which every boy thinks—Belling newspapers, or running errands, for example. But the really alert boys wants to invent a business of his own. Here is what a couple of boys of my acquaintance have done in a business way: The best business boy 1 know Is James Conroy, of Plainville. Uke most boys, Jimmy bad increased his spending money by shoveling snow, but in Plainville most of the sidewalks bad taken care of themselves. This last winter Jimmy decided to extend his business and hire other boys to do the shoveling. So, late in November, he went from house to house, politely explaining that be proposed to make regular season contracts for shoveling snow, just as the mien who cleans the New York streets does, at so much a cubic foot He showed that It would be much more satisfactory to know, every time It snowed, that the shoveling would be done, and Just how much it would cost, without waiting to make a bargain with any one who might come along By this time people were interested. and when Jimmy measured their walks and showed them how much a three-inch snowfall would cost, most of them signed bis contract Meanwhile Jimmy org^nlxed at school a shovel brigade of boys who agreed to report at the first snowfall, to work at a fair, fixed price, and to keep on working until his last sidewalk was finished. Jimmy signed each boy to a house and waited for the snow. Fortunately It came on Friday night, and Jimmy could use his brigade all day Saturday. Of course, some boys shirked, though that did not hurt Jimmy, for he paid only for work done; but It was a busy day for him, seeing that the walks were promptly and properly cleared, and Collecting his payment The next storm was so heavy that It neary swamped Jimmy; but he rose to the emergency, hired several men who preferred sure work to simply hunting for a job, and he made a good profit, for, of course, the more snow tnere was, the better for Jimmy. In the spring he saw that the same system could be applied to mowing lawns; with better results, too, for he could give steady work to two men. So he made contracts for the season, / basing his price on the number of square feet in the lawn. The last time I saw him be told me that he Intended to try to get the work of ’ Cutting all the lawns and shoveling all the sidewalks which belonged to their small city! Then there is Joe Sargent, of Monroe. Monroe is a "summer place” near a big city. Every night the business men come out from the city, and many of them, though they do not care to keep horses, prefer to drive from the station to their homes along the shore. Formerly, if they were fortunate, they found a disagreeable liveryman or one of his untidy stableboys waiting for the train. Sometimes there were no carriages at all, and sometimes, worse yet, when a carriage was ordered for a particular train, no carriage came and the busin*ss man lost his train—and his temper, too. Of course, people grumbled, but what could they do? They had to hire of Jones and take their chances, or else walk. Last summer I found on the station platform an alert boy, about thirteen years old, whose "Carriage, sir?” soundest earnest and inviting. When 1 smiled, in some astonishment, the boy seized my suitcase, placed it carefully in an old carryall and darted for another passenger. I looked at the team. Everything, horse, harness, and carryall, was old, but everything was clean and well-polished. De- . cidedly, the new stable was worth trying, and I wondered who had started it. Soon the boy returned with another passenger in tow, climbed aboard, and clucked “Get up!” "Whom do you drive for?” I asked. "For myself, sir,’’ was the answer. "You see, it's vacation, and I thought perhaps some people would ride with me if I started in business. So I took our old horse and hired this carryall. 1 hope I may have your trade, sir, this summer. 1 won't miss any trains if I can help it’’ He had my promise on the spot Many of the cottages tried him, and, finding that he could be relied upon, became regular customers. Joe soon had more work than he could well do with his one team. Then some business men clubbed together and lent him money to buy a second team. This was not charity, for tt was worth while to be sure of catching the train, and Joe never failed By the end of the summer he had bought the carryall and more than paid for the second team. This year he plans to start with three teams, and soon he will control the livery business of Monroe.—St. Nicholas.
