Phil Armour's First 500.

A frequent visitor 10 New York Is Phil
Armour, short, stocky, far from attract
i've In any sense, but singularly happy
man, who has managed 10 make a big
fortune. He cares little for money now,
but time was when the loss OF 500
nearly drove him mad. IL was good
many years ago, In the days of gold on
the Pacific slope. Armour was one of
the numberless throng there searching
for fortune.
Fortune paid no heed to him, however,
but finally he managed TO get some
"washings" that he sold for 500. This
srm he carefully tied up in an old cotton
handkerchief for safekeeping. Then he
hunted around for place to put 1t. His
eyes spied an old and dilapitated coffee
pot in a corner of the cabin he occupied
with three other seekers for fortune.
He put the 500 carefully In II and
placed itlovingly on convenient shelf:
then he went about his daily toll. When
he returned from work his eye. instinct
inely searched for the pot 1t was gone.
One of the partners had tired OF work
and come home. He had nothing else TO
do, so he went to clean house. The old
coffee-pot went with the rubbish, and a
fire was made of il all in little clump
Of bushes near by. Great was the con-
sternation when Armour told what the
pot contained. And how carefully he
worked oyer the fire To rescue, the pot!
Finally he reached it, blackened and
bent, but the money was intact, and no
happier man slept in the diggings that
night. Thereafter he carried it around
with him i'm belt.
And that was the foundation Of the
Armour millions.

IN A TOWER OF WATER.
Whiried Around Like u Top In Mid Air
"A Boys Experience.

Whirled Around Like u Top in Mid Air
"A Boys Experience.
Under recent date Fall River Mass. }
correspondent writes as follows:
A boy with wonderful capacity for
cold water made kind OF Noah's ark
time OF 10 last evening for people who
dwell around the South Park. There Is
a tall stand-pipe near the park where
the sprinkling cart loads up; and the
pressure frcm the pond at that point Is
something like million pounds To the
square inch. just what possessed tho
aforesaid boy to climb that stand-pipe
while the band was playing gayly In the
band stand will probably never be known.
Possibly he had found life too slow at
the drinking fountain, and may be that
he didn't think be could do the stand
pipe any harm. At any rate he Skinned
up and began monkeying with the cap at
the top. A full-grown man with cold
steel appliances would undoubtedly have
experienced considerable difficulty in I'M
fastening that tap, but the foot-high
urchin found it easy enough. His ac-
complishment will surprise him to the
end of his days. He was bending d.
rectly over the pipe, stomach down, when
the last thread of the cap screw was
loosened.
There was swish and a roar and the
million pound pressure sent mighty
volume of water / 200 feet into the air.
1t would have been n magnificent spec
tacle but for one feature which froZe the
blood in the veins of the assembled null
titude.
As far as the eye could reach, and al
most at the very top of this tower of
water, a tiny speck slowly revolved. 1t
was the small boy, helpless, and feebly
waving his hands and feet in his terror.
Fortunately the tremendous force sup
ported him, and the centrifugal power
conveXing toward the sides OF the tor
rent, kept him in the middle. Ii was
wet work looking on, but for few sec
onds nobody dared 10 move. Then a
brave member of the police department
recovered his presence OF mind and
darted TO the Park House telephone. A
little later Superintendent kieran of the
water works arrived on the scene, pale
but determined.
The same thought seemed TO inspire
the crowd at the same moment, for 500
voices exclaimed: "You must let him
down easy" superintendent kieran
needed no such warning. He knew that
TO shut off the supply suddenly meant a
terrible fall for the half-drowned lad,
who had ceased TO move up there among
the stars, and with touch as light as a
womans he began TO turn back the swift
tide in the main artery.
Inch by inch the tower of water dimin-
ished; inch by inch that small speck of
humanity descended The excitement
was at concert pitch. Everybody spoke
in hoarse whispers. Finally joyous
cheer rang out The urchin was thirty
feet from the ground, and scores of arms
were Outstretched TO receive him.
"Stand steady" was the order, and the
last spoonful of water was turned off,
and the boy dropped safely into a net
work Of hands. THAT beats balloons. +"
he said, as he wiped his face with his
dipping sleeve.

Fashion with the Maori.

1t appears tina: white women are re-
sponsible for the rapid depopuation of
New Zealand. When female mission
aries went among the Maoris they in
sisted that the Maori women should wear
clothing. The latter could not be in
duced TO overcome their prejudice
against skirts, but discovering that the
missionary women wore corsets. they
decided that the latter was garment
not wholly devoid OF merit. The result
is that every Maori woman now goes
about her daily work clad I'm a corset
laced as tightly as the united efforts OF
half dozen stalwart warriors can lace
it, Being unaccustomed 10 tight lacing,
the women are dying Oft with great
rapidity, and the repentant female mis-
sionarics now regret that they ever
asked their dusky sisters to consider the
question OF clothing.

nurse appeared to put him to bed. Here
was an opening: Tom said his grand

"Who takes care of Bridget Mccarthy
