A Good Story.

The Tribune tells the following good story
about our townsman
The experiences of wealthy men are some
times novel and striking. o. ID. Lambard,
the Maine capitalist, who spends much of his
time in New York, told me recently of an
occurrence at Newport, which is an excellent
illustration of the ups and downs if rich men.
A subscription paper was being handed
around for the erection of some building for
charitable purposes. Mr. Lambard had just
met with severe losses which had crippled
him financially and left him without resources.
This was several years ago. He was at his
wits end to conceal his condition from the
public, knowing pretty well that
if it should be ascertained that
he was ''lame duck" he would
soon be dead duck" He could not very
well refuse his signature to the paper, be-
cause that would reveal his position, and TO
sign the paper and then not to pay, would
only be to postpone the agony for few
weeks. While still iii distress over the mat
ter, he dropped into one of the well known
cafes of Newport where he discovered two or
three old friends from Maine and they sat
down to dine together. The society reporter
of Newport paper coming along
ABOUT tnlS time ulScONeTeu MT. IanlDdTu anu
his friends, with the result that in the society
columns the next morning there appeared an
item relating how Mr. LambarI, the prosper
Gus millionaire, had just made great coop"
whereby he had Melted half a million of
dollars in single weeks transactions and
had given a dinner to some of his friends to
celebrate his success. This is how Mr..
Lambard related the sequel: There never
was anything happened to me quite 50 oppor-
timely OF course after that paragraph no
one would base my refusal to contribute to
lack of funds. When the subscription paper
came to me l was able to put on bold front,
and objected greatly to the object of the char
ity, courteously but kindly refused my con-
tribution, and was thus saved the humiliation
of disclosing my financial disability. Three
months later could have paid the entire con-
tribution easier than could have paid dol
lar at that time. | have always had kind
feeling for the newspaper men since that one
saved me-"
