How many people are kept back because of an unfortunate family
history! The son of the notorious bandit, Jesse James, some time
ago carried off the highest honor, _summa cum laude_, in
the Kansas City Law School. Judge Silas Porter, of the Supreme
Court of Kansas, delivered the address on the occasion.
For years young James has been the only support of his
widowed mother. He has worked in a packing-house, attended a
cigar-stand, and has done all sorts of things to secure an
education and make his way in the world; and at last he has
succeeded in overcoming the handicap of his fearful inheritance.
His success ought to be a great encouragement to the unfortunate
boys and girls whose fathers or mothers have disgraced them and
placed them at cruel odds with the world.--_Success._
