HOW TO GET RICH.
Economy and Labor Constitute the o.
ROYAL Road to Wealth

Economy and Labor Constitute the Only
Royal Road to Wealth
1T would be well for young men of
to-day to take my receipt for becoming
prosperous" said John Shepard to a
Boston Herald man the other day, as
he sat before his little desk in an upper
story of his great dry goods house on
Winter street.
II began life at the very bottom
rung of the ladder, but with a deter
mination that Iwould succeed if such a
thing were possible with the talent
that I possessed. Early in life | came
to the conclusion that economy was the
first great essential in establishing a
fortune, and that labor was the second.
I banished from my mind all other con-
siderations when / began to work upon
the road that / felt sure would lead
to the goal of which | was in search.
I remember very distinctly going down
Marshall street one day and having
my attention attracted by most
tempting display in confecu9n-
er's window. | had what is known as
q very sweet tooth, and | brought up
standing before the sweet collection,
as if suddenly arrested by irresistible
force. My hand Immediately found its
meagre hoardings, and, before [ really
knew what l was doing, [ had invested
two cents in butterScotch. When l
got back into the street, | began to
have a full realization OF what l had
done, and it is safe to say that no can
dy ever entered Il boys mouth that was
SO little relished as was my butter
scotch. I regretted that investment for
years, and whenever the temptation
again came upon me while passing the
store, l put it away instantly.
! keeping close to this line Of strict
economy, l found myself at last in a
position to go into business. Then,
however, commenced to feel that cap
ital alone was powerless in the second
attainment of success, unless it was
| seconded by untiring labor Here also
l met all the necessary requirements,
frequently devoting twenty hours OF
the twenty-four to my business. Grad
ually I found that l was amassing a
fortune, and finally / established the
! house which now bears my name. After
l had accomplished what I started out
! to do there came over me an entire
change. I had no aspirations to be-
come abnormally wealthy. All that |
wanted was a safe guarantee against
possible disaster in the future. l devot-
ed a portion of my time to the enjoy
ment of life, believing that l had earn
ed my right to do so. No sir; there is
no use in filling boys head with all
the new-fangled ideas of getting rich,
as they are not practical Economy
and labor are the only elements that
enter into the great plan of successful
, business life

BORN TO ADVENTURE.

How bred Warbeck Strayed into Jungle
Without Rifle.
l was born to adventure, and the
irony of it is that am not in the least
of an adventurous disposition; on the
contrary, I simply detest all kinds of
adventure outside the covers of Mar
yatt's and Stevenson's novels, writes
bred Warbeck, marquis Of Sedano, in
the Whole Family. However, three
days after my birth, the ship of which
my father was commander was wreck
ed off the coast Of Spain; both my par
ents and the whole crew were drown

Carlists Gt was during the short and
fatal uprising of 1860, and was tium-
phantly elected to the proud position
of Ell Hijo del Regimiento, the child Of
the regiment.
Alas, for the unfortunate corps that
took me for a token! In two months
we were all in jail, from which half
my comrades marched out to be shot
as rebels. 1t was undoubtedly an i'm
preSSive moment, although, being but
three months old at the time, | havn'
the remotest recollection of the scene,
when our major, the gallant CarliSt
marquis of Sedano, raised me in his
arms, and, turning to the commander
of the prison, said in impressive tones,
Sir, my son and my brother have fall
len upon the field of honor, and now /,
the last of my race, am about to appear
before my Maker. Sir, this little child,
a goodly infant, God sent US from the
seas. In your presence, and taking you
and these gentlemen all as witnesses,
now endow this child with all my world
ly goods. | declare him my successor
in the ancient maTQuisite of SedanO,
and heir TO the estates and castle Of
that name. In the name OF God, amen!
Gentlemen, request that this be
brought to paper, and now forward to
execution and imprinting a last kiss
upon my baby's forehead, the brave
hidalgo strobe out to death with all the
lofty pride of a nobleman of Spain.
Of my many more or less startling
, experiences let me here narrate an ad-
venture which I had not many years
ago in Java, where, as the agent of my
uncle, I was inspecting a number Of
coffee plantations which belonged to
him in that country. These plantations
were situated in the midst OF the wild

Gloomy Cells.

barton on the Clyde, There is nothing
ABOUT her outward appearance to sug-
gest the gruesome business for which
she is being constructed. Indeed, ex
ternal appearances would lead anyone
looking at her to put the vessel down
As an ordinary, respectable, possibly
commonplace, ocean-going steamer Of
about 6, 900 tons
She has what the experts in nauti csl
matters would call igure-head or
fddle-bow, and, although not sup
posed to go very fast, is provided with
twin screw, not, however, of very
much power In the upper deck the
vessel is got up in something like the
manner of the ordinary class Of ship
and it is only below that the real ma
ture of the craft is revealed.
There, in the lower deck and under
the lower deck, the spacious accommo-
dation is all divided off into celia
These cells, it is quite apparent, are
very numerous, for large number OF
barred iron doors are being provided
for them. AS described to us. the
doors resemble gates made of fiat iron,
and ribbed with tubes about one inch
In diameter, and about five or six
inches apart.

SMALLPOX NEAR ANN ARBOR.
Outbreak of the Disease I'm Its Most

Outbreak of the Disease In Its Most
virulent Form-One Death.
ANN ARBOR, Mich. Jan. 26.-An in
vestigation shows that smallpox in its
most virulent form has broken out in
the families of Henry Schneider and
George Jaeher, living in a little log
hut about six miles south of here. One
death has already occurred. There
are twelve down with the loathsome
disease, while two other persons liv-
ing in the house, who have been ex-
posed to it, have already shown the
fatal symptoms. One patient. the g.
year-old son Of Henry Schneider, has
already died and the attending physi-
clan hourly expects the death of two
other mem bers of the families in which
the dread disease exists.
The disease came through Jaeher' S
family, immigrants who reached here
last November This family came over
on a ship which had smallpox on
board. 1t seems, however, that only
those of the passengers who were ac-
tually suffering with the disease were
detained, and among those who were
not detained was the Jaeher family,
mum boring seven persons.
The doctor who was called in at first
pronounced the disease chicken pox.
No precautions were taken and not
only were the fourteen persons in the
house exposed to the disease but the
children were allowed to attend the
village school at Saline. 1t is feared
more cases will be reported soon among
those who have been exposed.

KEOkUk, Iowa, Jan. 26.-Judge
Woolson of the Federal Court yester-
day sentenced David Wilson of Mills
County to six months in prison and to
pay $500 fine for using an advertising
imitation of $40 bill. He also sent
enced Fred Morris of Oakland, I",va
to three years at Fort Madison on
and to pay So, 600 fine for seuuIng
an obscene letter through the mails to
young lady.
The Judge was very severve in the
latter sentence, saving that if Morris
had said in person what he had written
the young woman would have been
justified in shooting hin. down; not
justified before the law, but no jury
would convict her of the crime COM
mitted under such provocation. He
branded Morris as coward, who used
the mails to administer a stab in the
back of one he would not face openly.

A truly veracious story of the sag &C.
ity of trained elephant which alarms

by some of the European newspapers.
The proprietor of the circus announced
that on q certain night his elephant
would play the Russian hymn on .
piano with his trunk.
Intense interest was aroused, and
when the evening came the expectant
public crowded the circus to the root
After the usual performance, four
men carried in a cottage piano, which
they placed in the center of the arena
Then the intelligent animal was
brought in, paraded with much digni.
~ three times around the ring, and
then, amid the keenest excitement
advanced to the piano. With a move
ment of his trunk he touched the key
board, but hardly had he done so when
surprising change came over him.
He trembled with fear and rage,
whirled his trunk into the air. and
then, with a scream of terror, rushed
out of the arena
There was great hurrying to and
fro of the employees, and the circus
proprietor and the elephant keeper
left the ring for consultation. In
few minutes the proprietor returned
and announced with regret that the
performance could not take place.
The fact was, he said, that the ele-
plant had recognized in the key ard
Of the instrument a portion Of the
tusks of his long lost mother, who had
fallen prey to the ivory hunters Of
Africa He had suggested to the
keeper that another piano might DO

formed him that the animal was so
overcome with emotion that it would
be impossible for it to perform that
evening. Under these circumstances
he suggested that the Russian

The entertainment was thus brought
to close amid the frantic applause Of

ILLINOIS LEGISLATURE.
Democrats VIII Effect the Repeal of the
Compulsory school Law.


SPRINGFIELD, H.. Jan.e6.-The Dem
ocrats took decisive action this morning
for the repeal of the compulsory school
law. Ameeting of the Committee on
Educa ton was called for 9 a. M, and
Chairman Stringer explained that as
the people of Illinois had declared in
no uncertain tone in the last election
that they desired the repeal of the Ed
wards compulsory law he believed a
bill for this bill should be reported at
once.
Representatives Berry and O. Connell
objected strenuously against hasty ac-
ton, and the former moved that an
other matter equally as important be
taken up-the preparation of bill
that would relieve the poor people OF
the State from the robber eSactious OF
the school book trust. The Democrats
voted down every motion of the Re-
publicans, and the bill was finally or
dered to be favorably reported to the
House by vote of Is to 4. Thieman
and Campbell reps, voting with the
Democrats. shortly after the meet
ing of the House. Chairman Stringer
reported the bill to the House. 1t is
very brief, and is as follows:
BE it enacted by the people of the
State of Illinois, represented in the
General Assembly, that an act entitled
An act concerning the education of
children approved May "a, 1889, in
force July l, 1889, be, and the same is
