0. 1!. Kee, an old Putnam county boy, who is stopping at Hie Melnnp, Inis had an interesting caretr. He hail never been out of Putnam county until he HR nine years ago for Kansas. As he wittily remarked to a reporter yesterday, lie was a farmer boy and plowed on hillsides until one leg is even yet shorter than the other and often drove « mower on ground so rough the machine turned over. All the education he ever hud was obtained in a little school house out on Little Walnut. except wiiat lie picked up by rough knocks out in the world and rubbing up against the financial buzz saw, which is always ready for business. However, he is no spring chicken now and little resembles the raw country boy who left Putnam a few years ago. He struck the Grasshopper State with $l,0*2ti and lost it, with more good coin, in the cattle business before ho had time to turn around. He kept up his courage ami got a job on n farm, saved Ins money and got n start in town lots, made $20,000 and dropped it in the Wichita boom. He had u tough time for awhile and a dollar looked as big to him ns the Ferris wheel to a jtpM.r county i.inner, but he piid even ■eht he owed and is now again on top. lie owns a third interest in the factory >( the Mi 1 'aiislond ceiitrifugaDiish-washer. las a bank in Oaklnlioma, owns a farm or |wo, is a prosperous looking gentleman.
