Chicago's Christmas Gifts.

Chicago's capacious Christmas stocking
Before the recent departure for Europe of
Philip f. Armour, the millionaire Chica-
go packer he presented that city with a
new five story three hundred thousand
dollar building just completed on Armour
avenue and $500. 900 with which to fur
nish it. He also gave 81, 800. 600 to be de-
voted to the establishment of an institu-
ton similar to the Drexel Institute of
Philadelphia and the Pratt Institute of
Brooklyn.
Mr.. Armour considers the new institute
the pride OF his life. Boys nd girls will
be admitted to the institute from any part
of the United States. They will be taught
trades. the languages, mathematics and
physical culture. MI Armour considers
his gift merely the nucleus of what will be
ultimately devoted in behalf of the insti-
tute and its perpetuity.
1t is MI. Armour's ambition to make
the institute success beyond question,
and he has perfected his plans to this end.
He says that it will be conducted on broad
guage business principles, and that blacks
as well as whites will be admitted and
share its benefits
The new building adjoins the Armour
Mission and the two occupy an entire
block. The mission has twenty three
hundred inmates, who now enjoy the ben
etits of a free library, dispensary and kim
dergarten. The rental from three hun
dred flats will be given to aid in the main
tenance of the mission and the institute
1t is Mr.. Armour's intention to make both
institutions independent of aid from in
dividuals or corporations.
Mr.. Armour has lorg been an advocate
of manual training. and in his own business
has. as largely as possible, recruited his
force of employees from boys just starting
out in the world. The gifts mentioned
above are magnificent testimonials of his
faith

In conversing with old time business
man the other day the subject of errors in
accounts came up and he related an incident
that illustrates anew the saying that truth
is stranger than fiction. One afternoon a
sea captain with whom the merchant had a
running account came into the store and
handed over a twenty dollar bill to be plac-
ed to his credit. A few hours later the cap
tain returned and said that when he entered
the store he had two twenty dollar bills and
on reaching home both We're missing and
he thought he must have given them both.
The merchant had had good days trade
and several twenties We're in he drawer but
he said that until he made up his cash he
could not tell whether he had more than be-
longed to him or not and he asked the captain
t. call the next morning That night he
Went over the cash a number of times, hut it
balanced every time within a few cents.
When the captain called the next morning
and was told of the result his countenance
fell and the merchant said he felt that the
man believed he had the money. The mat
ter came up once afterward and then the
captain went away to sea. -Four months lat
er the captains wife called to say that in
washing her usbands clothes she had found
twenty dollar bill, folded up, in one of his
stockings. 1t had gone through his pocket
and worked down INFO the stocking and had
not been noticed. 1t was a lucky find all
around, and the captain and the merchant

The committee on Maine shipbuilding
exhibits for the Worlds Fair are now in
search of model of pinky, and it is
doubted if they will succeed in their quest.
The common belief is that pinkys were
constructed by rule of thumb and some
say that none have been built for Is years.
This is an error, for the writer saw one in
course of construction in Hancock coun-
ty dooryard not more than forty years
