A Big Fee Made in a Few Minutes

Here is story of how the late S. L.
M. Barlow, the s'big-fee lawyer" OF
New York, made $4,000 in thirty
minutes: Commodore Garrison and
party of enterprising gentlemen had
made a contract with Gambetta for the
supply of a quantity of arms for the
French government. The amount OF
money involved was $1,600,000. Be-
fore the contract was filled Gambetta
had fallen. Theirs came into power.
and thinking the price of the contract
exorbitant repudiated it. The party
who had contracted for these arms be-
came savage, and not knowing what
to do with them began to quarrel.
They were on the point of appointing
a receiver and selling out the whole
cargo at auction, when Mr.. Barlow APP
peared among them as the representa-
tive of a gentleman who had a $4,000
interest in the concern. After having
heard what every one of them had to
say, he invited the whole party to his
house one evening, explaining to them
that their quarrels could not make
them any better off, and in half an
hour drew up an agreement which all
signed, few weeks later the arms
were shipped, and Mr.. Barlow received
SO, 900 for half an hours work.

4 PRIMER OF OUR PAPAS
HOW THEY WERE TAUGHT TO READ
ssThe New England Primer and Its WiIe
and Weirdly Illustrated Alphabet.

The boys and girls of to-day have but
little if any knowledge of the limited
range to which their fathers and mothers
were held for reading and study. In
looking through the musty volumes or
the shelves of dealer in old books the
other day, we found a little book with
which the men and women whose hail
is now silvered were thoroughly 81
home in their early years. 1t was the
New England Primer" Opening with
the alphabet, it led the way to the long
est words, and then to reading 1t was
illustrated, too. Not such pictures az
are met in school-books now graced its
pages, but they were of vital interest tc
its readers. At the very outset each
letter of the alphabet had an accompany
ing picture, with the two lines of rhyme
for each letter, thus serving to fix it in
the memory. The first six letters of the
alphabet are here reproduced from its
pages.
