A Rich Young Man.

Caldwell H. Colt, son of the late Col.
Samuel Colt, recently celebrated his
twenty.frst birthday at Hartford, CT.
Upon becoming of age he comes in pos
session of very large fortune, and is
now regarded the richest person of his
age in Connecticut. His father died in
1864, and left an estate valued at
between So, 100000 and $4,000, 000 The
bulk of the property was bequeathed to
Mrs. Colt and the boy, the latter's share
to remain in trust until he reached his
majo.ity, and, if he survives his mother,
he is to receive the large and valuable
homestead property end other portions
OF the estate of which he has life use.
In 1866 there was distribution of the
intestate estate, and at that time the
boy, who was eight years of age, had
awarded 20 him ZIG shares of the stock
Of the Colt Patent Firearms Company,
valued then at $l43, 200, and leash to
equalize his share" amounting to Sl05,-
53l.99, making q total of S24S, 1913.
The income from this alone, for fifteen
years, has been much more than has
been required for his support, and he
will realize considerable from the sur
plus. The young man will probably get
in all, to start with, from 81 500, 600 to
$2,000,O00.
There is nothing in the personal ap
pearance or general characteristics of
Mr.. Caldwell H. Colt which corresponds
to the distinguishing features of his
fathers personality. He is tall and
slim; his father was of medium height
and stout. Colonel Colt was all atten-
ton to business, and though he was a
man of the world, yet he never lost
sight of the important enterprises he
was carrying on. A man of indomitable
will, he would not wayer in any purpose
he set about accomplishing, and was per-
sistent even to stubbornuess. His neigh
Dor, the late Colonel Solomon Porter,
owned corner of the square where the
Colt estate lies. The Colonel wanted to
buy, 50 as to have his own domain de.
fined by an unbroken square. Potter
would not sell at any price. He was a
rich man, and held prominent po'
sition in one of the Hartford banks.
Colonel Colt, after pleading, threatened,
and then dermined to drive his neigh.
Dor out of the bank The bank folks
would not stand that sort of thing;
Colonel Porter should not be disturbed
But Colonel Colt advertised to redeem
the bills of the bank in gold. He was
getting pay in gold from foreign gov.
ernments for his pistols, and had plenty
of coin on hand. As the bills came in
he began run on the bank. and followed
it up till Porter was forced to resign
Then he was satisfied, and few years
later came to the rescue of the same
bank when it was threatened with dis.
astor in panic Mr.. Caldwell Colt is
of different material. He has had an
easier time in life than his father. Tic
likes hunting and good dogs, and il
favorably disposed to an attractive
team, and enjoys outdoor sports gener
ally, and particularly the Yale Harvarc
conte is in boating. He is member o
the City Guards, of Hartford, and like
military displays. He is generous witt
his friends, and in this respect is NOR
like his father than in anything else
but those who know him well say h
will not squander his money when h
gets it.

lie Acknowledged the Corn.

1t has always been thought that ears
of corn have an even number of rows,
and that one with an odd number of
rows would he an impossibility. In
slavery times this question was dis.
cussed, and a negro in this country
claimed that he had seen ears Of that
kind. His master told him that he
would give him his (the negro's) free
dom for al ear with an odd number of
rows. This was in the early spring
but in the fall, during gathering
time tire negro came with sound ear
with thirteen rows. He got his free
papers. A long time afterward the
negro told that in roasting time he took
sharp knife, cut out one row of grains,
bound the ear together, and knew just
where to find it when gathering time
came.

Hon. John NJ. Broauhead, lately lying
dangerously ill in the Broadhead man

have retained his sense of humor in the
very presence of the grim messenger Of
death. Zone day." says the South

that be would not live more than forty
eight hours, he apologized to his brother
in.law, Mr.. Pike, to whom he is on a

impolite as to leave my corpse in your
house, for I promise not to repeat the
offense;' and softly added, "a grave

DIR. RICHARDSON says that the body

organization should become more perfect;
at 70 old age should begin and last for
fifteen years, when from So to 100, there

dence of the vital functions. This is
