' BEGAN ON 50 CENTS.
Ho Built a Fortune While His Frisnd
Threw the Chance Away.
meet a man who wa.= ab
sent when opportunity called the
roll ? asked the man who was
wearing his last year's clothes. ‘T
know a man who ran awav from his
opportunity.
“Just what would have hap-vin'*}
to him if he had Lingered 1 don’t
know, and he doesn’t, b u he ra\
away, and the man who staved
profited. He probably ,v<. dvin’i
nave opened his mouth afiotu ‘,;.-
story if he hadn’t read in a news
paper of the death of thit man.
“The obituary contained the ir.
formation that when the man land
ed where he built up a fortune he
had 50 cents in his pocket. The
man who twad the death noiirt
simply remarked that he gave the
fellow the half dollar or he wouldn’t
have had that.
“The two men hit the town or.
the same day. They had been trav
eling together for weeks. The man
who was staked was penniless when
he and his acquaintance landed. The
acquaintance had a little money.
“He offered more to his fellow
traveler, but the latter declined. H i
accepted just what he had asked for.
Then the two men started to seek
work.
“The first place to which thet
applied was a retail dry goods store.
The merchant said he wanted a
young man to make fires, sweep the
floor and dust the counters. The
pay was $2.50 a week.
“The applicant who had the small
turn of money had the first option.
He refused it. The other who had
borrowed the half dollar got the
place. When he drew has first
week’s wages he tendered the loan
to his fellow traveler. The latter
declined. He told the young man
to wait until he was better able.
“The transaction remained open
for a year. At the expiration of
that tirr.i the $2.50 man had his pay
advanced 100 per cent He sent
his friend the amount of the loan
with interest.
“The benefactor was still looking
around. The man with the job of
fered him a place in the store, but
It was refused. There wasn’t enough
ready money in the job to suit him.
“Several years later the $2.50
man was advanced to the place of
head salesman. He sent again for
his benefactor and offered him a
place, but this was also declined. A
few years after this the $2.50 man
was admitted to partnership in the
house, which by this time was the
great retail house of the young city.
“He made his quondam friend
another offer, but the latter was
not ready. The pay was not suffi
cient. A little while afterward the
retail house established a wholesale
business. It was a great success.
“The young man who had bor
rowed the half dollar was placed at
the head of the wholesale concern.
Once more he offered his old bene
factor an opportunity, but the ben
efactor declined a?ain, and for the
same reason.
“The business kept expanding.
The concern is today one of the big
gest in the middle west. When the
$2.50 man died the other day he
was quoted at a million and a half
He had made it in twenty-two years.
“The man who told me the story,
who ran away from opportunity, as
he expressed it, is looking for a job
in New York—anything that will
give him a living and keep his body
out of potter’s field when he ia
through.”—New York Sun.
Hi* Third Marriage.
An interesting case of the super*
stition regarding the third time is
given by a Lahore paper. An in
habitant of the city of Bad&on (up
per Burma) lost two wives in quick
succession and was about to con
tract a third ; marriage when he re
ceived the following mandate from
the relations of the bride:
“We are told that when « man
has already lost two wives his third
also dies very soon. In order to
satisfy the angel of death von are
requested to marry a doll, and
thereafter come and marry our
daughter, who should^ be^ yoqx
fourth wife and net your third.”
The man did as he was told. He
married the doll, then gave-out that
she was dead, buried her with great
pomp, and proceeded to marry his
fourth wife.
PECULIAR BURIALS.
Eskimo*
Odd Funeral Customs of the
of Labrador.
Labrador's dreary waste is peo
pled, generally speaking, by a few
seattere.! trines of Montagnais In-
Iians, while its seaboard in the
north is occupied by about 3,000
Eskimos. Each race has its peculiar
burial customs, interesting if awe
some. When a member of a 'com
munity dies the Eskimos earn - the
body to the top of a hill near their
lettlement and there lay it, in a
lining posture, on the surface of the
hard, flinty ground. Heavy stones
ire piled about it in the form of a
cairn, completely covering it so that
the wolves and bears may be unable
to disturb the body. The male ii
buried with his weapons of the chase
and the female with her domestic
implements. After years, when the
action of summer suns and winter
mows has broken down the mound
of stones, it is not uncommon for
other natives to help themselves to
the stone lamps, flint and ivory ar
row and lance heads and other arti
cles of value to them which are
found lying beside the bodies. But
in every case some substitute, even
if (less valuable, is placed there in
stead of what has been removed.
It is the idea of the pagan Eski
mos that, though the spirit of the
dead person has reached the other
world and no longer needs the arti
cles, the ghosts who attended on
him in life have to be propitiated by
keeping up the number of articles
originally placed in the grave, even
if the material of these is departed
from. The Moravian missionaries
humor the natives whom they have
Christianized by practicing this hab
it of substitution, and a favorable
article to place in the graves is a
rusty razor. Many years ago some
admirer of the mission sent out an
enormous quantity of razors in the
belief that they were in general use.
But the last thing one would con
template doing on this coast iu win
ter would be to use a razor. As no
other use could be found for the ra
zors, they have been devoted to this
peculiar purpose, and so it is com
mon to see in every Eskimo grave
that has been opened an appliance
which no old time Eskimo ever
heard of.

A Dry Bath.
A Scotchman was once advised to
take shower baths. A friend ex
plained to him how to fit up one by
the use of a cistern and colander,
and Sandy accordingly set to work
and had the thing done at once.
Subsequently he was met by the
friend who had given him the ad
vise and, being asked how he en
joyed the bath. “Man,” said he, “it
was fine! I liked it rale weel and
kept raysel’ quite dry too.” Being
sued how he managed to take the
shower and yet remain quite dry he
replied, “Dod. ye dinna surely think
I was sae daft as to stand below the
water withoot an umbrella f”—Lon

A Verse From Solomon Told of a Mar
riage Engagement.
When she left her home in the small
town to come to New York to take up
a special course of study her pet sis
ter was fast reaching the crisis of a
love affair. The pet sister was a most
winsome young lady and had long kept
a goodly train of suitors a-sighing.
Was this affair to be the grand affair?
The older sister hoped so, for she liked
the young man cordially—thought he
was just the sort to make a proper
brother-in-law.
But the weeks passed, and not a bit
of definite news about the progress of
the affair did the older sister receive
In her city boarding house. She be
came anxious. Louise, she thought,
must not go on recklessly trifling In
such important matters..
Then one night about 10 o'clock, just
as she was going to bed, came a tele
gram. The servant brought it up.
The elder sister was country girl
enough to be thoroughly frightened by
the pale manila, black Inked envelope.
How ominous It looked! At length she
gathered courage to open it This is
what she read:
Solomon si* three. LOUISE.
Solomon six three! Whatever in the
world! Oh. why, yea, stupid, it of
course meant the Song of Solomon,
sixth chapter, third verse! Bnt—and
her cheeka flashed with ahame—she
had no Bible!
There was a great scurrying about
the boarding house to find a copy of
the sacred book. Tbe girls were rout
ed out In vain. On all sides the cry
arose, “Who's got a Bible?” Jnat think
>f the sister trying to sleep that night
rlthout knowing what that verse was!
I would have been just like a woman
o lie down to pleasant dreams, content
0 know that she eon Id satisfy her cu-
toelty in the morning—not!
The landlady, good soul, came to the
jeecoe. She was no heathen. She bad
} Bible. Up to her room with it flew
the sister and shut the door. Such a
turning over of pages by eager, nerv
ous fingers! Solomon six three. She
found It,-and then she cried “Hurrah T*
and laughed, for the verse was:

Dying Thought:; of a Cowboy.
One day a party of townspeople
were camping in the hills beside a
raging river till it should be safe to
cross. They saw a rough man strug
gling midstream with a very small
chance of ever reaching shore. It
was an exhausting time even for
those who helplessly looked on.
When the man at last saved himself
and had been ministered unto, the
psychologist of the party asked,
“What were you thinking of while
yon were in such danger ?”
“I thought,” said the honest cow
boy, “that I had $100 to my credit
sad did not want to die with all
that money unspent.”
Whereupon he forsook hi* JoK
