which explained everything and Brice
began tounload. The deal was 30 strong,
though. and the boom had been so ad.
mirably worked that he sold nearly
three-fOurths the capital stock of the
road at from sS7 TO S45. Itwas q great
piece Of financlering. Not only did the
/ Fosters clear themselves, but they
netted something like S2,0O0,0O0 be.
sides. And that deal was worked by
their young 81 900 year attorney, Cal.
Brice."
"And what did they do for the young
financier?" was asked.
THAT Is another thing that has new
er been published, but 1t was very
handsome. Charley Foster went and
bought $500, 900 In AZ per cent. govern
ment bonds, had them registered in the
name of Mrs. Calvin s. Brice and sent
them to that lady with his compli-
ments. Iguess 1t was the most prince
ly present ever made to a lady by one
not a relative. But Brice was spoiled
then for the law. He knew then he
was cut out for bigger sphere than
hanging about Lima. He liked finance,
he liked railroading, he felt he was in
tended for great enterprises. But he
was hampered; he had no money. His
fortune, or rather, his wife's, was of 10
avail to help him in his ambitious
schemes. One day he said to Mrs.
Brice: "My dear, $500, 900 the way we
have it Is about as good as cents. Let
US sell those bonds and let me do some-
thing with the money Mrs. Brice
didn't then know her Calvin as she
know him now. She made tremendous
kick. Mr.. Brlce coaxed and teased,
and finally Mrs. Brice went to Charley
Foster and begged to know what to Go.
Foster winked to himself, and, with a
grave face, told her 1t was wife's duty
to obey her husband. Besides said
Mr.. Foster, there is little scheme on
foot by which 1 think we can all make
some money, and don't want Cal to
be left out for lack of means. You had
better let him have the bonds. I don't
think he will lose them.'
"And so he got them, and the whole
and half as much more bor-
rowed money went into the Nickel
Plate deal, and out of that deal Cal
Brice made 81 100000 clear. His asso-
ciates made in the aggregate three times
as much. They built that road, or.
rather, took pieces of oil road and filled
in gaps and extensions, bonded the
whole business for $4,000, 900 more than
the road cost, and then sold the outfit
to Vanderbilt for $4,000 900 more than
the bonded debt. That's pretty good
financiering for man under forty, is it
not?"
"What do you estimate Mr.. Brice to
be worth?"
''It is hard to say. Most ofhis proper
ty is in railroads and other enterprises
that are not yet fully developed. You
see, after the Nickel Plate deal, he and
General Thomas and Foster went in !
and bought back the old Foster road,
and reorganized it. This is now called |
The Lake Erie & Western, and runs
from Sandusky to Peoria. ILL.,, over four |
hundred miles. The stock'is now about |
10, but it isn't yet profitable road. |
Then the same parties have a pile of
money in southern roads, built to open |
up southern resources. If everything |
turns out we'll Brice will in time be a |
very rich man. He could probably now |
clean up $1,000, 900 in hard cash."

A WOMAN'S OPINION
Which Tells a Story of Interest to
Other Women.

II honestly believe" said one of our
women recently, "that that magazine
has done more for me to make my life
easier, my home brighter, than any one
other thing in my life," and she point
ed to a copy of The Ladies' Home
Journal of Philadelphia, that was lying
on the table. "Why, you ask? Be-
cause it thoroughly understands wo-
man, and tells her just what she
wants to know. If my child is sick,
for example, something that I have
read in its pages will come up to me.
I have moderate purse, and my dres-
ses, like those of my daughters, must
do long and good service. That mag
azine told me the secret. To provide
three meals every day, and give variety
to the table, is no easy matters to wo-
man. Through the Journals recipes
and means this problem was often
solved for me. You see my flower
garden? Everything about its care l
learned from it. l am fond of crochet
ing and fancy-work. The prettiest
things have every made were told me
by that magazine. When I am tired, /
turn to its stories and romances, and am
always sure of finding something good
in every number. My children fairly
delight in the department. it has for
them. My daughters will read it's Side
Talks With Girls as they will a novel.
Even the kitchengirl l find asks for the
magazine each month when the family
is through with it, and now we give il
to our minister for DR.. Talmage's
monthly articles. You see what 8
single magazine can do, what pleasure
it can give, and what help it can be
fit is of the right SORT" and thus was
paid to The Ladies Home Journal one
of the highest tributes have ever heard
uttered in behalf of single magazie.
Was it deserved, you ask? Ask any Of
the SOC, 900 women who now read this
same magazine each month. 1t is 8
pleasure seldom experienced by an edi
tor to recommend SO thoroughly as W,
can to every one of our woman readers
a Magazine SO good and helpful as Th
Ladies Home Journal. In every re
spect, may it be said to be the best
periodical to-day that a woman Cal
have in her home,-a magazine tina
will tell her more, that will benefit he
more, and give her more sincere salts
faction and honest pleasure than an,
periodical we can, at this moment
name.
