"But how did that affect you"'
"Why, don't you see?' the boy asked
impatiently; 1.-THE secretary had to get

keeper, and the bookkeeper jumped on
the entry clerk, and the entry clerk
jumped on the bill clerk, and he just

What did he do?" asked friend.
"Owes me a hundred and has owed
it to me for three years. Tried to bor-
row another from me-"
"Huhr said the friend, "that mans
nerve is infantile compared to that of a
young fellow who was brought up with
me. He had the most gigantic nerve
that was ever placed in a mans body.
He lived in New York and got out of
job. He wandered around for days
looking for another one and could not
find it. He got disguised with man
kind. lie imagined that everybodys
| hand was against him. He slept in the
parks and lived on free lunches. One
day he was walking down street on
which good many of the wholesale
houses are situated and he saw that
one firm was having an old slide which
ran down from the walk to the cellar
taken out and new one put in. 1t
was one of those carved-iron affairs
that most big firms use to get boxes
| and bales into their cellars. The
wholesale house was on the corner.
He walked around on the side street and
saw the old slide lying there beside the
walk He went up town and engaged

| At high noon he went down to that
| place with his trucks, loaded the old
slide on to the trucks and drove off.
| Nobody molcsted him. Everybody

took the slide to a dealer in junk and
sold it for old iron for three hundred
dollars, paid his truckmen and walked
feet. He got job and is to-day a re-
spected business man. That was
nerve"
That reminds me of similar exhi-
bition of the same article" said a by
stander. "A fellow drifted into Roch-
| ester once. He was broke. He could
get nothin. to do and he was hungry.
He was walking up on East Main
street one day and he saw a farmer
drive by with a load of hogs. The
hogs put an idea into his head. He
went out the street farther and
waited. Another farmer came bv with
load of hogs. He stepped out and be-
gan to dicker with him. The upshot

hogs at a good price and told the
farmer to deliver them at certain
store down the street Il ways The

come back at night for his pay. The
man who bought them hired truck,
