Fortunes Realized fruia the Earhed Wire
and Grain Binder Patents.
The ups and downs of inventors are re-
markable, especially tho ups, says w. H.
Osmer in tho st. Louis Globe Democrat.
While acting as a patent solicitor several
instances came 10 my notice. Tho barbed
wire patents, which have Melted fortunes
to their owner have an interesting
history. The first patents were issued to u
man named Kelly, living down East. About
two years later a farmer at De Kaib, ILL.,,
conceived tho idea of keeping his unruly
cattle in the pasture by putting short barDs
Of wire and then twisting it with u plain
wire. This is known IN tho market Us
Glidden wire, being named after its ill.,
yentor, Joseph h. Giiddcn. One day while
he was experimenting with it a ~neighDor
going by shouted: "Joe. you better be out
harrerin. IN your oats Instead of foolin'
away your time with patents" Gildden
thought otherwise, and in less than two
years received q bonus Of 100000, with the
guarantee of q royalty on NIL made under
his patents. For the year 1881 his royal
ties exceeded sl74,OOO. Tho Appleby grain
binder, which, in being perfected, bank
rupted the owners, Appleby, Parker, Stone
and Bishop, by q loss Of $4,000, eventually
came to the surface with s150,O0O for each
Of the owners, while its present owners
have realized over s1,O0O,OO0. In this rec
ord, however, the fact should not DO lost
sight Of that hundreds of inventors In this

Of their lives, and al many capitalists

A Numerous Family,

There arc some good-sized families in
Maine to-day, but probably none 60
large as one mentioned in the histories
of old colonial days. 1t is told on the
authority of Cotton Mathcr that the
first royal Governor OF Boston was ono
of a family of twenty-six children, and
was born in the woods of Maine near
the mouth OF tho Kcnncbcc in 1851. His
mother was left q widow when no was a
child. and is said to havc had all she
could do to provide for the wants of her
family. 1t is hoped that whom the Gov.
ernor got 500, 600, a knighthocd and q
goblet valued at IS. 0cO as a reward for
finding a Spanish trcasurc-sLip that
had gone to the bottom half q century
before, hc remembered his mother and
made her last days easier than her
earlier ones had been.
