senator miller Relieves Luck Has
much 90 DO with ones Success.
Gen. Miller, Of California. is one Of the
millionaire Senators. Not SO many years
sgo he was so poor as to be glad enough to
accep. the Office OF Collector Of the Port Of
San Francisco. For years luck had been
sesinst him. He was a good business
nar, yet everything that he took hold Of
vent by the board. Mr.. Miller is 9 firm
believer tina. there is such Q thing as luck
in business. He says that, give two men
Of equal business capacity, equal oppor-
~tunities and energy, n Will many times
end that everything he touches turns to
gold, while the others touch Yields clay.
Hs own career he often instances 80 an
illustration. One day q ships Captain
Gated upon him OF his Office in the San
Francisco Custom House. The Captain
showed him the undressed skin OF Q seal,
and said that he knew where millions oil
them could be obtained. He suggested to
Mr.. Miller that he furnish him with the
means 10 ct up his vessel. and be would 60
on 9 seal catching trip for q certain per
centage OF the profits. Mr.. Miller de-
slined to have anything TO do with the
project, but the Captain was so
persistent that Mr.. Miller induced q
few capitalists TO subscribe 9 small
sum. None Of them had much faith In IL,
and Mr.. Miller said that he never went
into any business scheme with less thoaght,
Behold | the Captain returned with bis
vessel loaded with skins. and for . good
consideration he revealed the locality Of
the seal island. Keeping the discovery
secret, the Alaska Seal Company was
formed, obtained the exclusive right tc
capture seals from the United States Gov
ernment, and In a few years had amsssed
immense fortunes. Mr.. Miller says that
c%uriously enough, every investment he hal
made since then has been profitable
thongh he exercised less care and business
caution in so doing than no had in many
investments before his luck changed. Mr.
Miller's fortune Is supposed to be two OF
three millions. He lives elegantly IN
Washington and San Francisco, entertaini
Q great deal, and though . very busy man
never neglects his duties in the Senate.

Aneedo,e OF Cardinal Manning,


Among the anecdotes OF Cardinal
Manning, the following is one Of the
best. DIR. Mayhem was one Of the most
puZzling examiners at Oxford. He al.
ways asked the most eaprielous quss-
tons. Once, he found his match in a
beardless youth, who solved with classic
Calmness the most difficult questions
the professors brain could invent.
When Mayhem saw that be had to
deal with q formidable opponent, he
changed his tactics, commenced in
Latin, and asked: "Quid est Spes?"
What is hope?l Magma res" a
great thing was the immediate au,
swer. "Quid est Charitas2" what Is
charity?l was the next ques ton. Mag
ma Iaritas," \ great rarltyl replied the
student. LIQUID est Fides?" What is
fsith?l "Quod non viJles,i" What Is
unseen answered the yo6ng theOlO-
gisn. Mayhem was forced TO laugh
sgainst his will. He gave the student
his hand, and-a thing that rarely hap
peDed-asked him to dinner. Fifteen
years later DIR. Mayhem received an in
Vttation to q dinner. 1t came from the
student above mentioned, who then
gave a banquet in honor of his installa-
ton as Bishop of Westminster.
