RICH MAN ON RICHES.

The following story, says the Way-
side, is told OF Jacob Ridgeway, a
wealthy citizen OF Philadelphia, who
died many years ago, leaving fortung
of five or six million dollars:
sMr. Ridgeway,' said a young man,
with whom the millionaire was con-
versins, you are to be envied more
than any gentleman Know"
why so?' responded Mr.. Ridge

for which should be particularly en-.

man in establishment. why, are not
you a millionaire? Think of the
thousands your income brings you
every month";
well what of that replied Mr.. r.
"All l get out of it is my victuals and
clothes, and l can't eat more than one
mans allowance or wear more than
one suit at the same time. Pray can't
you do as much ?"
"Ab, but" said the youth, think of
the hundreds of fine houses and the
rental they bring YOU
'What better am off for tbat?' re-
piled the rich man. 81 eau only live
in one house at time; as for the
money receive for rents, why l can't
eat it or wear it, can only use it to
buy other houses for others to live in.

THEY WOULD NOT LIGHT.

They tell this story of Ralph Waldo
Emerson His best thoughts were
apt to strike him after he had gone to
bed. Once calmly resigned to rest,
ready for dreams, sparkling notions
began 10 fit through his brain. He
knew if he did not catch them then.
they would vanish never to return so
up he gets, strikes light, and makes
his nocturnal notes.
One night the philosopher had risen
from his bed, and was cropping around
in the dark for card of misplaced
matches, His hand at length came in
contact with his wifc's deliberately
carved tortoise-shell comb, which he
lnistoOk for card of lucifcrs. One
after another he snapped away the
teeth, trying to light them OIL the wall
until not one was left. Ills loud and
emphatic mutterings Of disappoint-
ment aroused Mrs. Emerson.
what Oh earth, husband, are you
doing there in the dark?'
'ODly thought that l had in my
mind, my lOvc!'
But the thought had fled, and still
in the dark he went to bed.
In the morning Mrs. +. found that
her husbands fugitive thought had
been an expensive one for hcr-hav-
ing cost her her best comb, but she
could not find it in her heart TO scold.

PETEIFED HEROES The bodies of
those who fell in the late European
war arc now being eXhumed by the
suburban municipalities OF Paris for
intermcnt in several cemeteries, and q
fact full of scientific interest has been
discovered. At many places, more
particularly at Chattillon, the bodies,
notwithstanding the fact that they
have rested five ears in the earth, ,havc
remained intact. AT La Croix de
Berno, on the opening of tomb con-
tanning thirty three Germans, they
found them enveloped in their heavy
mantles, more resembling sleepers
than the dead.
AS regards the causes Of preserya-
ton, the scientific men say that these
may be attributed to the locality, the
nature Ofthe soil the thick solid cloaks,
and to the fact that they fell in full
health, and had not in them the same
elements of corruption as those dying
of disease. Their medals, crosses,
watches and money were found undis-
turbed, and served to identify them.
These have been sent 10 the friends of
the victims i'm Germany.

spread out in newspaper like a mort
gage on small corner lot. 1t was ad-
vertising in the paper that attracted a
Nankin farmer into Detroit and into a
woodward avenue hard ware store the

fact that he would like a refrigerator,
the proprietor welcomed him with a
sunny smile, and the clerks cheerfully
barked their shins against the stoves
as they flew around.

walked down stairs and out to his
wagon and was getting in when the
