A MILLIONAIRE'S START.

len years ago." said a millionaire.
stood without nickel in my pocket
outside OF restaurant door in San
francisco. was indulging in an OBJ
tlcaI 1east, and wondering how all these
good things in the window would taste
II they were sliding down nv hungry
palate. L was trying to think how l
could get the price of meal, honestly
or dishonesty, it mattered little. Be-
lore l had evolved a plan of action a
prosperous looking man, who was flip
ping half dollar in his hand, dropped
IL through an iron grating, and it fell
into the subway below. He gave an
unconcerned glance in the direction the
coin had gone, and then walked away.
1T was a grounding case for me,
and l determined to secure that coin,
SO l walked into the restaurant and
asked the proprietor of the place if I
might retrieve a five dollar gold piece
which had dropped into the cellar.
lie replied certainly and gave me
Ratchet with which might remove a
wooden bar that had been nailed across
door leading from the basement to
the opening under the CRATE There
was much litter and dirt down there.
and in searching for the coin found
many others which had been dropped
in similar way. l cleaned up eight
dollars from that drift, an amount suf-
ficient to completely dwarf an able
bodied appetite, secure a clean shirt
and proportionate amount of self
esteem and reliance. l visited men of
influence whom 1 had not sufficient
courage to visit before, and I have not
been seriously insolvent since that
time. Thus you may see on what a
thread often hangs a chance in life. -

Extraordinary Jumping Feats.

The jumping and pole-vaulting feats
of our contemporary athletes seem but
the work of babies and pygmies when
compared with the extraordinary doings
of the old-time acrobats. If history is
to be believed, Phayllus of Crotona
could stand and make a fifty-six-foot
Jump Cd the dead level. He was one of
the main athletes at the old Olympic
games, his enormous jump forming n
part of the course of the Pentathlon.
Strut, the noted English authority on
games and amusements, speaks of a
Yorkshire jumper named Ireland whose
powers were something marvellous. lie
was six feet high at the age of eighteen.
at which time, without the aid of springs
or spring board, he leaped over nine
horses ranged side by side, and at an
other time lightly cleared a heavy wa
gon which was covered with an awning.
Col. Ironsides, who made n voyage from
England to India early in the present
century, relates that be met in his trav-
els an old white-haired man who with
a single bound cleared the back of an
enormous elephant fianlsed on either
side with six camels Of the largest
breed A book entitled History of
Wonders Performed at Fairs" mentions
an Englishman who at the fair of ST.
German. in 1T24, leaped over the heads
of forty people without touching one OF

The Chicago KGH: In San Fran
cisco a few days ago Sing Song, priest
in a Chinese josshouse, was arrested
on the charge of cruelty to animals.
He was found on Washington street,
wearing a square hat and a long robe.
He was making a horrible noise by
beating cymbals and ringing a bell.
Near by he had a white duck in a tub
of wafer with its legs tied together so
that it could not swim. When asked
what this performance meant, Song
said that a Chinese woman had died
in the house in which he was in front
of and he was trying to "jOss' her
soul into the body of the water fowl
so that when 1t died its spirit would
carry the woman's soul off to the
flowery kingdom beyond. lie was
very indignant at being arrested.
