"Worthington ADVANCE" is an old

live paper-Estherville Democrat.

WHY HE DID NOT TAKE 1T.

Not long ago an old pioneer, who
had lived in Texas in the days of the
early colonists, was boasting of the
good old times.
"Why, sir," said he, Il was once
offered league of land for pair OF
old boots"
Didn't you take it % SAID the
party he, was talking to.
'No, sir, l didn't
'No account land, | reckon"
"Why, bless your heart, sir, it
was the best piece OF land outdoors.
Grass FIVE feet nigh, a clear stream
of water running through it, and an
undeveloped silver mine in one cor
ner."
''And why in thunder didn't you
make the trade 2" said the other.
Because" said the old man, in a
sad and regretful tone, "because I
l didn't have the boots.''

SWINDLED BY SRARPERS.

From the New York Tribune
A Kansas City miller named
Frank tell victim at Red Bank, n.
j., to confidence sharpers who swim
dled him out of 81, 500. A few days
ago Frank reached New York with
twenty.seven carloads of flour and
received bills of large denomina>
tons in payment for his product
lie went about the city to exchange
the bills for those of smaller de-
nominations. The banks offered the
exchange for 2 per cent, but Frank
considered the rate too high and re-
fused to allow the banks to change
the bills. Frank was finally ap-
preached by a well-dressed stranger
who offered to exchange the bills
for l per cent. The stranger said
that his place of business was at
Long Branch and both men boarded
train that reaches Red Bank at
about noon. Franks companion
suggested that they get off the train
there. The unsuspecting miller ac-
companied the man 70 an old build,
ing on the other side of the river in
Middletown township. Here they
were met by two more men. After
a short conversation the miller's
companion and the two men pro-
duced $500 IN good bills and the
exchange was made.
By some trick the sharpers substi-
tuted green paper for the genuine
bills, put the green paper in a tin
box and then gave the box and key
to trsGk. The miller then started
for the train with the box and one
of the men saw him off,. Before
Railway was reached the miller
thought he would open the box, and
then discovered that he had been
swindled. He took the next train
lack to Red Bank, in company with
a detective, but the men had skip
ped. The miller returned to New
York OF an afternoon train.

No tree is entirely protected
against being struck by lightning.
When the atmosphere is overcharg,
ed with electricity all of them are
liable to become the aim of some
bolt, but the beech is the one in the
whole category of trees that is more
rarely struck than others. Prof.
Hellman, in his statistics on this
subject, says that lightning strikes
pinewood trees fifteen times ottener
and oak trees fifty-four times oftener
than the beech. This tact is very
well known to frequenters of tim
bered regions. Traces of lightning
bolts, says the st. Louis Post Dis
patch, are most frequently found on
oak trees, while only rarely are they
observed in the beech. 1t was
thought at first that the condition
ct the ground had much to do with
this unequal distribution of light
ming strokes of trees, but this is not
the case. 1t is the characteristic
condition of the tree itself that ac-
counts for it. Trees which contain
oily substances to a high degree,
even in summer, may be regarded
as comparatively lightning proof,
while those containing glucose mats
ter attract the lightning more fire.
quently. Dead branches are very
apt 70 increase this danger. 1t need
only be cited that acorns are valua-
bic because they contain IS per cent
of glucose matter and only 4 per
cent of fat, while from the nut of
the beech pignut oil is made.

GREAT FORTUNES HONESTLY
MADE.

There is popular fallacy among
unthInking people to the effect that
the average span of human life is
too snort for man, by his own ef-
forts, to amass honestly fortune as
great as or greater than 81, 100000.
And the man who is the possessor
OF millions is accordingly regarded
with suspicion, merely because he
is exceptionally rich. ''He stole it
ne made other people poorer by his
thrift; his gains we're i'll gotten
are expressions frequently heard
when some wealthy mans name is
mentioned in connection with his
enormous possessions.
Fifty years or so ago, when mods
err inventions were unknown, there
might have been some reason in
saying the average life was too snort
il which to make a million dollars
by individual effort without resort
ing TO dishonest practices. But at
the present day there is no reason
ia any such assertion. In this age
Of activity and advanced methods
the possibilities 81 legitimate for>
tune building are almost limitless.
The shrewd and tactful fortune
builder ceases to depend upon his
individual efforts when he has gath
cred $4,000 or $4,000; he employs
another man to help him. And
when his fund has grown to S25, 900
he employs half dozen maybe
twenty-fve-men in his business.
He takes no advantage OF them he
furnishes them employment at
mutually agreeable wages, and they
furnish him with their labor, the
fruits of which are his by purchase.
AS the owner of s25 900 of capital
and the employer Of twenty-five
mon, the fortune-builder is On the
road to be millionaire, provided
opportunity and health do not de-
sert him. Who can truthfully say
the travelling of such road is not
strictly honorable?
Examples of immense fortunes
built by honest industry are plenti-
full. There was John Stephenson,
the car>buiider, who died the other
day. He began life working for 81
a week, and died a multi millionaire;
yet no breath Of suspicion could
possibly attach to John Stephenson.
Thomas A. Edison is another mail
ionaire who has made his millions
honestly. George w. Childs has
amassed millions daring his lifetime
and there is not a person who would
impute to him an impure motive,
much less dishonest act. These,
however, are but instances illustrate
ing possibilities Of the age, There
are, as a matter of fact, thousands
of very rich men in this country
whose wealth is the result of intelli-
gent and honest industry. In Ameri,
ca to. day mans fortune is limited
by his ability and by opportunity
nothing else.-Savannah News.
