How Senator Teller Lost a Fortune,

Washington Gossip in the Kansas CITY Journal
Senator Teller told me last night how he lost
$4,000 The story made my eyes bulge out.
but the Senator related it in the same cool me-
taliic tones in which he talks about the weather.
Said he: ut was some years ago in Leadyille
that met one day upon the street friend of
mine, who asked me to go in with him and his
partner and buy the Robert E. Lee mine The
mine had been in the courts, but the question Of
its title had been settled and it was only neces-
sary to have Sc, GOO to pay off its indebtedness
l asked how much it would take for me TO
come in. He replied that il would take S450 600
and this would give me one-third interest
But, said l. raising my hands IN holy horror,
4 haven't got the money, and would hate to
risk it If had
"'Oh,' said he, you run no risk We have
ninety days IN which to pay this so 900 and we
will work it out of tine mine in that time. You
need not put up cent and We will pay your
S45000 out of the mine, and In case the mine
doesn't pan out at once Ben. my partner, and 1
will put up the money for you
Il said l would consider the matter, but did
not think wanted il. For the next two DAVIS
thatman hung around me and begged me to
take the third interest in the mine. He told
me he could sell it for $45, 900 cash to another
man, but he would rather take me in for moth
ing. l held out, and at the end of two days he
sold the interest to the other party. Shortly
after this l heard that the mine was paying
and about two years later L met Ben, nv
friends partner, in the Windsor Hotel, at Dem
yer, and We got to talking about mining prop
erty.
"'You made a great mistake, Mr.. Teller
said he, in not going into the Robert E. Lee
with us
"'Yes. know it, said l. and I wonder Just
how much Of a mistake / did make? Suppose
you tell me-
d" Well, said he again. we got your $4,000
out of the mine IN less than three months and
you would not have had to pay a cent on it.
The man who took your place stuck to us and
he cleared within two years just $500, O00'
II must have looked little surprised. for
the man said: Well, Mr.. Teller, do you wish
you had gone imp
IL don't know replied I, Providence runs
these things His own way. l have two boys
and they had better make their own way
through the world than be hampered with the
inheritance Of a millionaire. Perhaps on the
whole it is as well as il is'"

At a NIasuuerade

1t was in a town not a thousand miles from
Boston that there were recently given a couple
of masked parties at private houses, says the
Boston Courier. At the second of these the
hostess of the first party found herself talking
very amiably with a mask in whom she sup.
posed herself to recognize a gentleman who
had come TO the town Just after her own enter
tainment Simply for the sake of making
conversation and OF throwing the gentleman
off the scent of her own identity. she asked
"Were you at Mrs. Blanks masked party?''
"No," he answered, II was not honored with
an invitation"
"Were you here at the time?" she asked.
YES" he answered, but Mrs. Blank doesn't
like me-"
CONSERVATION seized upon Mrs. Blank, but
she instantly determined not to betray herself
Doesn't she?' she returned. carelessly.
Probably that is one of the things which you
imagine. Some people are always surprising
that others do not like them, you know"
Her companion seemed trife annoyed
Il am not one OF that Sort" he retorted
rather brusquely Resides. she has intimated
to me that she did not like me-"

entirely mystified in regard to the identity OF
her interlocutor.
why, 1 should not mind telling you if were
sure that you wouldn't repeat it."
"Oh. never betray confidence" the lady
said eagerly.
The gentleman leaned over until his face
under its mask was near to hers.
Il asked her to marry me-"
Mrs. Blank was more startled than ever. The
train of her old suitors, and IN her day she had
had not few, came up before her mental
vision, and she wondered which one of them
chance had brought to her side tonight but in
vain.
But" she said slowly, "because a lady re-
fused you it need not follow that she disliked
you. am sure n woman is not to be supposed
to dislike every man she does not wish to marry.
mat would be a most absurd assumption"
To be sure it would" he assented cheer
fully, but IN this particular case she did not
refuse me-"
Did not refuse your" echoed Mrs. Blank in
astonishment. ''She certainly did not accept
your"
THAT is precisely what she did do"
1t Is not" Mrs. Blank began; and then con-
siderlng that if she said true it would be show
ing more knowledge of Mrs. Blanks affairs than
was compatible with pretending to be another
person, she changed her sentence and said
',creditable that she should accept you and
then marry another man."
''She didn't, Kate" her husband said in his
own voice, ''she married me"
Toni" she cried.
''Yes, my dear" Tom answered, lyon told
me at our party that couldn't fool you"
'iou are wretch and a monster" she de-
clared, land l will never forgive YOU"
But she did. and told the joke at her own sx-
pense before the evening was over.
