Unexpected Good Fortune.

An accident in making what after
ward turns out to be good invest
mept is always an interesting theme
of discussion. An instance is cited
where a young man went to Tacoma
on flying visit in the early days of
the place, when the principal part of
the town was its name He was there
only few hours, but in that time was
induced to buy several lots for almost
nothing. Those lots made fortune
for him so suddenly that he could
hardly realize that it was possible.
Mark Sheldon. the wealthy real estate
owner of San Francisco, made his for
tune out of bad debt. He had grown
rich and poor in several ventures, and
when hard pressed once tried to collect
all the money that was due him. One
debtor was unable to give him a cent,
but compromised by handing over to
AIr. Sheldon some sand lots in what is
now Market street, San Francisco.
Sand lots were not very valuable in
those days, and Mr.. Sheldon found no
opportunity to dispose of his until he
saw that he might make pretty sum
out of them. So he held on to them,
and there is no more valuable real
estate in the Golden Gate city to-day
than those once worthless lots.

There was an amusing incident in

antics of a three-year-old who was

well-known citizen of that suburban

standing on the seat with his head out
Of the window and was in imminent
danger of losing his hat, which was n
little red turban, adorned with the
regulation tassel.
You'll lose your hat if you don't

out of the window again for the tenth

and by a deXterous movement pulled
the cap under his coat.
