FROM MIKE 70 Mr.. MICHAEL.

An Irishman who Got Million Dollars
and Knew what to Do with It.
"The story Of Monte Cristo is general
ly regarded as a highly improbable piece
of felton, said Montana man yester-
day, ''but have IN mind case of a
miner in our state who comes very near
furnishing parallel character. About
ten years ago had in my employ an
Irishman, a clever but totally unedu-
Gated fellow. who did odd jobs about my
place in Helena. You remember what
feverish state that country was in
about that time over the rich finds in
gold in the country adjacent. My Irish
man caught the fever, and one day as
tonished me by asking me to loan him
5000, with which he wanted to buy a
prospector's outfit. Well, the fellow
begged SO hard and money was so easy
anyhow that let him have it. He bought
HIM a mule and some tools and lit out
for the mountains alone.
SIN about a month he came back to
Helena with that mule fairly stagger-
ing under load of the richest of ore.
He hired three men, bought three more
mules, went back to the hills and struck
town shortly afterward with four more
mules loaded as the first one had been.
A representative of an English syndi-
cate happened to be in Helena about
this time on the lookout for mining in
vestments. He saw the Irishman's little
pack train, took sample of the ore, had
it assayed, went out and examined the
claim and then made the Irishman a
proposition that mighty nearly scared
him to death. / was sitting in my
Office at the time, when in burst Mike in
a state of terrible excitement.
"sWhat do you think, sor, I'm offered
for me claimY he gasped. One million
dollars and twinty-foive per cent. Of the
net profits
"Of course I told him to sell, which
he did. I proved a good investment for
all concerned, as the Englishmen have
taken millions of dollars out of the
mine.
"But now comes my point. Instead
of committing the usual follies that poor
men indulge in when they become sud
denly very rich, Mike set about to get
the highest benefits of his wealth. There
lived in Helena an English lady, widow
of an English officer, who was possessed
of a high degree of culture and refine
ment, though in very needy circum-
stances. Well, sir. the first thing Mike
did was to go to this lady and bargain
for an education. He placed himself
absolutely under her dictation; lived in
the same house, and she taught him how
to hold knife and fork and how to enter
and leave a room. Then followed the
rudiments of a literary education and a
year or SO of travel.
II met my Irish laborer in the parlor
of London hotel about six months ago.
You never saw a more perfect gentle
man in your life. He has acquired a
classical education, is as easy and grace
full in manners as courtier and above
all has the true instincts of man and
gentleman in his heart. And could a
man be anything but a gentleman who
had evidently made it the dream of his
life to be one at his first opportunity?

ment of this review. The streets can be
cleared by the police, the marching col
umns CT children can be protected by
lines of militia or of some other local
organization on both sides, and the
movements may be made as safe as In
the schoolyard itself.
The afternoon celebration by the cltl-
zens may also include
NXass Meeting
at the public hall. This meeting, how
ever, in many localities, will occur in
the evening. An important place IN the
exercises of this meeting should be given
TO the free school as the characteristic
product of the four centuries of Ameri-
can life, and as the safeguard of our
free institutions for the future. At
least one Of the speakers should deal
with this subject. Moreover, "The Song
of Columbus Day." sung at the morning
celebration in all the schools, might be
repeated by the general audience in this
mass meeting. While in some cases 1t
may be impossible for the schools to be
present en- masse at the public meeting,
they may at least send delegations.
Prominent seats should be reserved for
the representatives of the pupils, and one
of the exercises of the afternoon might
be assigned to them.
In these ways, and in others which
will suggest themselves, the
Schools May Lead
in the general public observance by the
citizens. This dominance of the schools
in all the celebrations of the day is de-
sirable, because the object Of the public
school celebration Of Columbus Day is
not merely to awaken in the pupils an
historical and patriotic interest in their
country, but also to impress on the people
of America that the free institutions of
the United States are the product of
free and universal education.
The attention Of the American public
on this 400th anniversary must be di-
rected forcibly to the fact that the free
school has given to our land its distin-
gushing civilization, and that the hope
of the coming century lies mainly in
committing to the spublic schools def
nitely the work Of training the coming
voters to the duties of citizenship.
