EASIER THAN WORKING.


Clever Scamp in College Raises Money
In an Ingenious Way.
Let me tell you very strange true
story. Three years ago young man in
the middle OF his sophomore wear found
himself IN debt to his landlady, to his
tailor: 10 the college and in fact 10 every
one OF whom he could borrow or buy.
he had no parents on whom he could
sall, and his future wasn't very roseate.
10 say the least
But he was genius. Hehad come 10
college to graduate and didn't intend 10
drop out just because he lacked money.
There was plenty of unemployed capital
In the country. he was sure, and he was
equally sure he could get hold of some
Of it. so this is what he did:
In some way he learned the names OF
ten women in one of the small western
towns and wrote them the following
letter:
Nv DEAR MRs. - ~ am a student IN
- college and am absolutely without n
cent. Unless receive aid shall be compelled
90 abandon the ambition OF my lffe-to enter tho
Christian ministry. am an orphan and am
solely dependent on myself
WIN you Kindly send me ten cents and mail
a copy of this letter 10 ten friends numbering
each copy ~ Please request them to do the
same. numbering their copies 3. and SO on.
stopping at number 10.
Ten cents Is very little, but ten dimes make a
Sodssnd So 1s to me, ss sours. @sa'0 0s f''s"
GEoRaK w. MARTIN
He figured that about three or four in
the first ten would respond, and that
the same ratio would be kept up. Some
would be ignored, some would miscarry
and in some cases several copies would
be sent to the same person. II Is easy
to count that If every letter and copy
brought in ten cents he would receive
millions. IL four in the first ten re-
sponded he wonld still be millionaire
The plot succeeded. He didn't re-
ceive u million of course, but no did get
a very large sum of money. Not one
person in hundred would stop and fig
ure up the actual amount which the
thing would bring to tho letter writer.
In some cases ministers read the lettcr
in the pulpit and recommended the
scheme to their congregation. The let
ters which he received were studies.
Some contained stamps, some dimes
wrapped in paper, some motherly old
souls wrote long letters with volumes of
good advice, and some more philan-
thropic people sent fifty cents, dollar.

WHY He Hurried.

Out in Iowa some years ago number
of men were engaged in the harvest
field. When a man is working for
wages on farm there is nothing more
delightful to him than little fall OF
rain. It gives him chance 10 stop
work and seek shelter. These harvest
ers broke for the barn. When the great
body of them arrived there they found
that one of their number had got there
ahead Of them. He had fallen prostrate
upon the barn floor. entirely out Of
breath. The foreman asked him why he
had run himself to death.
Good Lord" he replied, II was
afraid the rain would stop before got

THE SENATE LEADER.
SKETCH or THE LIFE or HON.
ARTHUR PuE coRMAN.

A Friend Details the Rapid Rise in Pofs-
tics Of the Senator from sEaryiand Who
Defeated the Ubiquitous Force Bill--A
Thoroughly Domestic Man.
Hon. Arthur Pue German, leader Of
the Maryland Democracy and one of the
possibilities for the Democratic presi-
Dental nomination, is self made man.
He was born IN Howard county, Nd. in
March, 1889, the son of respectable par
ents possessed or moderate means, and
received only such limited education in
his youth as was to be gained in coun-
try school. When boy he was made a
page in the house Of representatives at
the instance of Judge Hammond, who
then represented the Fifth congressional
district of Maryland After time ho
was transferred to o subordinate posi-
ton In the senate through the friend
ship of the Hon. Stephen A. Douglas,
with whnm-as indeed with all the lead
ing Democrats then in Washington he
became a favorite. From one position
TO another he raised himself by his con-
sciesitious discharge os duty his aDiiity
and urbanity, until he was made post
master of the senate, in which capacity
he served until the time of the impeach-
ment trial of President Andrew John
son. Il was believed by those impelling
the prosecution Of the president that
they would be able to carry the inn
peachment by vote in the absence of
Senator Grimes, of Iowa. who was so i'll
that his attendance in the senate cham
Der was deemed impossible, and day
and hour were fixed for forcing the is
sue. While the roll was being called on
the question, to the CONSERVATION of the
advocates of impeachment, Senator
Grimes walked in leaning upon Post
master Germans arm, and his vote
saved President johnson. That very
night in Republican caucus Senator
Sumner moved Mr.. Gorman's removal
as q measure of revenge, and the Repub-
hcans effected it,
President johnson then appointed Mr..
German internal revenue collector for
the Fifth internal revenue district of
Maryland and sent his appointment to
the senate for confirmation. So Bit
ter were the Republicans toward the
young man, however, that it was three
times successfully rejected. Eventually,
