such an attempt was supposed to work.

These were neatly done up in little
saw-edged paper bag. Ralph was a
model of neatness and pohteness, and
his white apron and square paper hat
gave him sort of dashy appearance.

Yet his visitors were still far in ex-
cess of his sales. But one thing had
been demonstrated lie had got the
people to coming that way! Could he
hold them.
"a new broom sweeps clean" he re-
deoted. "But time will tell"
"Well, Ralph;s hasn't much in his
store, to be sure" said the skeptical,
',yit he's er risin', er risin', an that's

Ralph's horse and wagon consisted of
himself and a wheelbarrow! He de-
1ivered his few goods in this unpreten-
tious manner. The boys called it

The new grocer said little, thereby
showing tact, but kept his sleeves
rolled up and attended strictly to bust
ness. He had no capital, but earning
few dollars, he secured little merchan-
disc on thirty days credit. He had one
thing, he had manners, he had socia-
,bility, he had accommodation. He was
just as sociable with the man that
bought jackllhife as the one that
bought shovel. With these as lead
ing elements of success, he met his first
bills, paid cash for his second order of
goods.
Two months had gone. Six. Now
he had a clerk. But no horse. Six
months more. He had a second clerk.
Ralph began to receive congratuIa-
tons from all sides. The friend who
would not lend him a red cent, and
who was to give him one thousand dol

You don't seem to need borrowed
money now, Ralph"
mo, thank you. have a thousand

Ralph, you have won the first thou

enough. 1t is the first thousand that
decides the fate of millions"
Ralph was very happy. His business
increased His friends multiplied, and
young men came to him to borrow
their first thousand dollars. Time wore
on. The little corner grocery store be-
came too small In move commodious
quarters they were soon established.
For it was "R. Gorden & Co., Grocers"
now. And the young man who had no
capital was the leading grocery firm
of the city.

A BATTLE ROYAL.
Stallion and Jackass Fight Each other to
the Death.


LEXINGTON, NY, Jan. 2s.--A battle
to the death took place in Mercer
county between a valuable saddle stall
lion and a jackass belonging to
William thomas, a stock raiser. A
few DAYS ago mad dog bit Thomas
little boy and the horse. The horse went
mad, and kicking down the door of the
jackass' stable, began biting him. The
jackass resented, and for fifteen minutes
they fought, using their teeth, heels and
fore feet. Finally the jack tore loose the
stations left ear with his teeth, and the
horse then bit piece from the jacks
neck. This seemed to make the jack more
ferocious than ever, and grabbing the
lower part of the horses neck in his teeth,
he tore out his windpipe, but the high
nettled stallion did not give up, and before
falling he kicked the jacksss' hind leg
breaking it Just below the hook. He then
fell dead. The jack uttered long, loud
bray and went into his stable. He was
covered with blood and so feariully
wounded that his master killed him to put
him out of his misery. The boy was
treated with a maidstone. The stone adj
hered three days, and he shows no signs
