HOW MILLIONAIRES ARE MADE

"Who is the wealthiest man in Cali
formal" asked reporter of an old Cali
f0rnian.
Jim Flood, worth 800, 900, 900; he is
a liberal man and a shrewd one. He
has built up on San Francisco Bay rev
port called Costa City, with magnificent
store houses and piers from which the
wood of those rich countries is shipped
direct to Europe and the world. O'Brien,
Floods partner, is dead and his fortune,
distributed. Mackey, one of the bo-
nanza crowd, is thought to be worth
$50, 900, 900. and Jim Fair is worth per-
haps 440,000,000.
Said /: How in the world did Flood
and O'Brien make such fortunes"
Gust in this way, my friend" said
Mr.. Hyneman, taking up piece of
paper and pencil, "Flosd and O'Brien
kept saloon, and the drinks were 25
cents apiece. Fair and Mackey were
miners who for some years did not
strike anything very rich. So they gave
mining stocks for the drinks instead of
money. The habit was to walk into the
saloon with three or four friends, ask
tor the drinks and drink them, repeat
and say to the barkeeper. This is
mine," and walk out. The barkeeper
made four marks with a pencil and a
fifth mark across them, signifying $1.25
for each round. These rounds would go
up to pretty high figure, but on a GER
tain occasion Mackey or Fair would say,
"Well, Flood, we want to make a settle
ment for drinks, and they would give
their mining stock at certain valuation
current at that time which Flood and
O'Brien put into the safe. Behold! On
certain day metal is struck in pro-
digious quantities in the mines that Fair
and Mackey own, and when Flood and
O'Brien open the safe and count the
stock they have it amounts to more than
Fair and Mackey's, SO when the mines
were pouring out their million or two
every week these saloon kee pcrs, who
had been receiving 25 cents per drink
for watered whisky, started a fortune

A GOOD WORD FOR OATMEAL.

The oat crop, which is SO prominent in
our farming, is rarely utilized for farm
crs' tables. In a somewhat long ac-
quaintance in the rural districts, we do
not remember to have met with oatmeal
cooked in any form. This diet is fav-
Orite at the breakfast table in our large
cities, in the form Of mush, and, eaten
with milk and sugar, is an appetising
and wholesome article of diet. But
upon the farm the oat crop is very largely
a money crop, sold in the nearest market
or at the railway station. If used upon
the farm it goes to the horse without
grinding, or if ground, as provender for
the pigs. Almost everywhere We meet
with corn products upon the table, In-
dian bread. the convenient johnny-cake,
hasty pudding. samp, hominy, corn bread
and that finest Of all summer dishes,suc-
cotash-the sweet corn mingled with the
savory juices of the bean. The wheat
plant is we'll represented in bread and
other forms of cooking, though it has
ceased to be product of many North
ern farms. In all the region where rye
has taken the place Of wheat, rye bread
is a staple article of diet. Baked beans
are about as popular as ever in the rural
districts, and are likely to hold their
own with the coming generations. But
oatmeal is ignored as food fit for men.
Among the people who use it, and in the
analysis of the chemist, it stands con
fessed as one of the most nutritious and
economical foods that can be used. The
Scotch people are living examples of
what oatmeal will do to make an athletic
race with plenty of brain, bone and mus
Gle. The Scotchman's average daily ra-
tions is two and one-half pounds of oat-
meal and pint of milk. On this he
thrives and performs the labor of the
farm. Analysis shows that oatmeal is
very rich in heterogeneous matter, and
comes much nearer wheat -four in nutri
tive value than is generally supposed.
The following table shows their compar-

number of those opposed was decidedly
greater than those in his favor. Threats
OF tar and feathers finally became COM
mon, and things began to assume a most
disagreeable aspect. In this condition
of affairs Rhody came nobly to the front.
He had been one of the strongest advo-
Gates of the lovers during the whole thing
but Tom had noticed that he was strang-
ly busy with letters. One day when there
were large number of the men opposed
to the match collected in front of the
store discussing the affair, Rhody came
down the street, and pausing in front of
the crowd, said:
Boys, l want to speak to ye. Thar's
mono on ye ez doesn't know ez how Tom
my pardner, who wants to marry the
school-marm. Thar's many on ye ez is
agin any such 'rangement, most cause
they thinks the gal mout do better. 1
gin ys all credit fur this feelin', an I'm
glad fur to do SO. dunno as I've thought
myself that the gal wer' dom the best
she could IN marryin' Tom" (Murmurs
of applause from the crowd.) $50 I've
wrote to the Company, an wrote agin
an agin, an now I'm glad fur to tell We
all that my pard, Tom Freeman, air the
superintendent of the Rattlesnake, wi
six thousand year salary. l hez re-
signed myself"
II won't have it, pard," broke in Tom.

an won't have it"
Yes, you will, lad, said Rhody. "Why
shouldn't ye? Sides you amt a goin
fur to make me ont liar" and the man S
stern face lit up with a smile.
Toms protestations were drowned in
the cheer that went up from the crowd.
Turned completely around by the gener-
osity of Rhody, they we're now as eager
for the wedding as they had before been
opposed, and before many weeks Rhody
stood up and gave the school-marm away,
an admiring crowd filling the school,
