FOUNDATION OF A FORTUNE.
Ii Was Only Finy Cents. whiel
Had Fallen Into n Cellar.

From the P1ttsburg Dispatch-l
lone day ten years ago" said a western
millionaire, Il stood without nickel and
without the door of restaurant in San
Francisco. was indulging in an optical
feast, gazing at the display of nncooked
roasts, chops and steaks, garnished with
water cress and altogether lovely in the
window. The song, or rather its refrain,
Thou art so near and yet SO far" was
whispered to me by the giant brownie of
hunger. Then a prosperous looking man,
who was Tipping a half dollar in his
hand, dropped the coin, which tinkled
through an iron CRATE and fell into the
subway below. The man gave an almost
unconcerned glance in the direction tho
coin had gone, and then walked away
humming popular tune.
II have always possessed some resource
and was determined to possess that coin.
The occasion was what is frequently
spoken of as grounding case / was
out of meat'-also bread j spoke to the
proprietor of the place. Told him / had
dropped a Eve dollar gold piece through
the CRATE and asked If might go and re-
trieve it. Certainly he said, and gave
me hatchet with which might remove q
wooden bar that had been nailed across q
door leading from the basement to the
opening under the CRATE.
There was much litter and dust down
there, and searching Tor the lost coin 1
found many other things which had been
dropped in a similar way. Thus cleaned
up eight dollars from that prospect drift.
The amount supplied me with a place to
put the able bodied appetite which had
concealed about my person 1t also gave
me the entree to a clean shirt and a pro-
portionate supply of self esteem and self
reliance. 1 visited men of influence
whom 1 had not been sufficiently cour-
ageous to meet in the immediate hereto
fore, and have not been seriously insol-
vent since that date. Thus you may see
on what slender thread oft hangs a
chance in life.
s.I have since become acquainted with
the man who dropped that half, and have
several times requited him from ancient
vintages of champagne, and he will never
become so hungry as was on the day i
first saw him-not while the Gunsight
lode does its duty"

old dealer as he glanced at the pitiful-look-
ing object Fifteen hundred dollars for
that d-d thing, 1 wouldn't give You q
cent more than half that much" and he
walked ont on the street. II is useless to
say they didn't get their prices near enough
for trade.
About noon the young master awoke not
feeling the best in the world. He was COM
PEELED to borrow a shoe horn to put on his
hat, and there was mighty bad taste in
his mouth, to say nothing of considerable
red in his eye and a feeling of goneness in
general about his stomach Rich told him
he had been out to see the buyer, and the
old fellow wanted to know the prices, as all
depended on that-the least he'd take was
the question, and to be in a hurry, as he,
the buyer, had made about all the purchas-
es he wanted and was ready to leave town.
The young master called for paper and en-
velope and wrote as follows:
"Dear Sir-You have seen the boy Ny
lowest price is 81, 200. he is worth every
cent of it."
The note was duly conveyed, and was
soon returned with an answer on the back,
saying: 1--WE can't trade"
The following day the well rested horses,
the happy mulatto and a disappointed
white man might have been seen vending
their solitary way through the woods to-

THE DIsCRIMINATTNG BEE.

The Catastrophe That Overlook a
City Swain as He Sat by a Brook.
On the flower fringed bank of slowly
running brook a city swain sat with his
summer girl one sunny afternoon. The
gentle signing of the wind, and the warm,
somniferous rays of the sun waited them
off to sleep, he upon the grassy bank and
she upon his shoulder. The water lilies
watched them and listened to their sym
phonious breathing. The daisies nodded
their heads and winked at one another.
The buttercups lifted their golden petals.
while the blue bells swayed to and fro in
the shimmering sunbeams, gracefully
bending to the soothing breezes that stole
through the rocky ravine.
Said the water lily to the buttercup:
'sHow vain the mortals are. To-day they

The Lord loveth cheerful giver. The
Buffalo Christian Advocate tells of a mem

The Spanish government is hard mas

owing to the deleterious nature of the work

The several workingmen in the
employ Of Lyons Lumber Company
were engaged in cribbing along
Muncy creek bed in the village OF
Sonestown, on Friday last. They
were attempting to remove the
stones from the rear end of Mrs.
Paiton's property to the opposite
side and the old lady did not ap-
prove of the change, hence she stood
ON guard with an apron well filled
with choice throwing stones and
when the boys would cross over
with the intention of laying hand
on her stones she would let drive a
volley that would cause them to re-
treat. A. Il. Lovelass came near
falling victim of her mighty arm.
He was crossing the creek with
what she called her property; the
old lady being at the upper end of
the stone patch at the time he load
ed tip, but before he could gain the
other side She was on deck and let
loose her missiles with what the
boys say {intent to kill.J One OF
the messages brushed the side of his
face striking 81 rock opposite him
breaking it into many pieces. Had
the stone hit him on. the head it
would have caused death in their
midst. 1t was fun for the spectators
but the boys were obliged to watch
their p's and q's or suffer the con-
sequence. The old lady remained
on deck and hut few of the rocks
were disturbed. She was very cross
and said she would appeal to the
law for protection.

ON Odd Fellowship LaPorte
Lodge attended in body and their
ranks were swelled by brothers of
tile order from several of the lodges
in the county. Sonestown Lodge is
deserving of especial mention. The
sermon was able and eloquent and
listened to throughout with marked
attention. The principles and
teachings of Odd Fellowship were
forcibly presented and the aims Of
the order to the non afflicted. The
motto of the order was carefully re-
viewed and the beautiful lessons of
Friendship, Love and Truth, ably
explained. The fraternity can not
fail to be benefited by discourse
so perfectly adopted to the needs of
the order. We understand that
Mr.. Pittman has consented to preach
on the same subject for the brothers
of Sonestown Lodge in the near
future.
