A SAILOR BOYS FORTUNE.
From Beggary in California to Snug
Competence in England.
From the san Francisco Examiner.

From the san Francisco Examiner.
Thomas Stone. an 1s-year-old English
sailor, who has been living a hand-to-
mouth existence in Oakland during the
last seven months, has fallen heir to the
estate of his father, valued at over
R32, 600.
1t was an early hour on a stormy morn
ing last March when a bedraggled and
Wornout young man applied at the home
Of Michael Rigpey 2lJ Seventh street,
for meal. He told a sJraigh forward
story about deserving his ship in The bay
the day before, and said he mad slept
under the Eighth Street bridge all night.
Mr.. Rigney took compassion on the desc
late sailor, and supplied him with food
and warm clothing. As Stone proved
willing to work, and there was a good
deal of labor to be performed about the
place, Mr. Rigney permitted him 10 re-
main, and since then he has made the
Rigney home his headquarters.
During his leisure hours Stone spent
his time instructinG a young son of the
Rigneys IN the trade of boat building.
In lot adjoining the house he established
a miniature shipyard, with cradle, blocks
and ways, ana there he built full size
steam launch, which lacks nothing but
an engine to make il complete The tale
the stranger told was acout as follows:
Five years ago he was schoOlboy in
England and had a penchant for reading
tales of adventure. His reading made
him so long for travel thai he ran away
and went TO sea. When he came home
his father took him to Liverpool and
bound him over to q sea captain for q vow
age to and from Australia. He was
signed for two years but long before the
voyage had been finished the boys dreams
had been dispeliod and he bad determined
to desert. When the vessel reached San
Francisco on the homeward voyage he
accordingly GOT ashore and stayed there
He was penniless, hence his application
for charity at the home of the Bigneys.
During the voyage from England to
Australia the sailors father died. leaving
him fortune OF more than &33 900. But
the news TO this effect came only very
recently.
Young Stone wrote from Oakland to his
father several times, but received no re-
Spouse, so when Walter Scawell, an Oak
land contractor, left for visit TO Eng
land few months ago. he was com
missioncd by the young man to hunt I'D
his father and see why he failed to re-
spOnd to the communications addressed
TO him. Mr. Seawell found that the elder
Stone was dead, and notified the son Of
this fact and of the further fact that he
was no longer poor. The news has since
been confirmed by the British Consul of
San Francisco, who has advanced
young Stone the necessary coin to enable |
him TO return to his English home
The sailor boy expects to leave for Eng |
land within the next few days. He de |
clares, however, that as soon as he has |
looked after his interests as a ward in |
he will return 10 California.

An Inhuman Practice.

Some grabbed philosopher once ex-
pressed the wish that boys between the
ages of twelve and twenty might be
kept in a barrel and fed through the
bung-hole thereof. He has had - to
the credit of mankind be it said - few
svmpathizers with his declaration,
though among certain people, if the
report speaks truthfully, a practical
test of the value of the same idea has
been made. In New Britain, an island
of the Pacific. it is said hat all female
children are shut up in cages until they
come of age. These cages are con-
structed of palm leaves, and when two
or three years old the girls are shut
up in them; nor are they permitted
to go out on any pretext except once a
day, when they are taken to be washed.
Notwithstanding this forced ~seclusion,
the authority states that the young la
dies grow up strong and healthy. -

A Busy Doctor,

DIR. Liddel's morning levees were
crowded beyond description. 1t was
his pride and boast that he could feel
his patients pulse, look at his tongue,
sound him with stethoscope, write his
prescription and pocket his fee in a
space of time varying from two to five
minutes.
One day an army man was shown into
the consulting room and underwent
what might be termed the ~instanta-
neous process. When it was completed
the patient shook hands with the doctor
and said:
II am especially glad to meet you. as
have often heard my father, Col.
Forester, speak of his old friend DR..
Liddel,."
What exclaimed the doctor. ''are
you Dick Forester's son?'
II am, sir"
my dear fellow" exclaimed the
doctor, fling that prescription into the
hire, will you, please. and sit down and
tell me what is the matter with you?'

A NEW YORK BEGGAR.

His W ana PersistencS Ehfha
Him an Easy Quarter.
The unfortunate and much-maligned
tramp who is met every evening IN the
City Hall park, asking a penny of his
victims as they file through, is not
wanting in a very perceptible dash OF
humor now and then. A rather good
looking man passed him a night or two
ago in a tremendous hurry, but was
halted with the usual salutation.
81 haven't a cent tonight, my good
fellow" he said. Il am absolutely
dead broke"
bad as all that? Haven't you got a
penny?" pleaded the tramp, putting on
his most hungry look.
mo, not a red; l tell you I'm dead,
fiat broke"
Now, look here, pardner," replied
the beggar, lowering in the mans
shadow as he dashed on toward the
bridge. are you serious about bein'
broke? Lots and lots of people say that
just to keep from giving a poor devil
anything, and at the same time to spare
his feelings. You"
"Confound it, man, don't you know
when to urn loose? If / had a million
1 wouldn't give you a cent, you are so
persistent"
MY friend" said the tramp, 81
wouldn't accept a cent from you now.
You've hurt my feelings unnecessarily.
l only wanted to do you a good turn.
If you had said seriously you were
broke l was going to offer you a penny
OF my scanty store. / amt got any too
much to speak of, but I couldn't bear
to see a well-dressed man like you
going around without a cent in his
pocket. just to show you there's no
hard feelings, let me lend you a dollar
till tomorrow night"
You've got a dollar and begging for
more? That's your game, Ell? You
ought to be locked up. I've a mind to
call a policeman"
Don't. They all know me, and you'd
be wasting your time. Besides, if
have got a dollar and am begging for
more, you mustn't forget that l offered
to lend it to you. It's all I've got in
this world, and l was willing to trust it
to you, an utter stranger. We beggars
must keep always a little ahead, else
we would starve to death. we meet so
many gentlemen like you - all dead
broke. Regging's my trade. I'm ashamed
of it, l admit, but how many men can
you count on your fingers who are
ashamed of their own trade? Can
lend you this dollar?'
"Of course not. Here's a quarter in
stead. l give it to you not because you
deserve it, but because you've been
clever enough to take me,in. My opinion
is you are a pretty shrewd rascal. Why
don't you turn burglar? What makes

Rejoicing. though at night they die,
Why not be happy too:

And seek, and spend, and WOO:

The arts their fathers knew;
If these rejoice, why so may L!
