A Heavy Contract.


Last Fourth of July, young. man in the en-
ploy Of wholesale housein Dubuque, IN CONVEX
sation with his employer, was induced to enter
upon simple task, at what seemed high sal
ary. He WAS offered $500 per annum, in addi-
ton to What he was then receiving it he would
merely carry from any place On Main street to
the river shore, and throw into the Mississippi
the first week, one single shot, No. s; the sec
ond week, two shots; the third week, four shots;
the fourth week, .,,ht shots and so on, doubl-
ing the number Of shot each week-the young
man who took the contract to find the shot.
Well, he entered upon his contract. The first
month, as viii be noted above, his work was
easy-simp1y to 60 to the river four times, carry
ing with him the aggregate fifteen No. shot.
The fifth week. he carried 16 shot; the sixth
week, 81 the seventh week, 81; the eighth
week, 1928; the ninth week, 256; the tenth week,
512; the eleventh week, 1,024; the twelfth week,
2,04s; the thirteenth week, 1905. at this juno
ture, both from curiosity and to gave the labor
of counting the shot, which was getting to be
troublesome, he weighed his 4,036 ,ahot, and
found that they balanced just TX pounds. He
had NOW carried and deposited Something less
than three pounds Of shot. He congratulated
himself that this was earning 3125 very easily.
The fourteenth week he deposited-stM doub-
ling the amounts pounds; the fifteenth week,
6 6pounds; the sixteenth week, u pounds; the
seventeenth week, a pounds; the eighteenth
week. IS pounds. That brings him to date.
