Is the Worlds Fair expenditure a
judicious one? With all due respect
for Columbus, We are rather inclined
TO think that the great expenditure
of the peoples money has been over
done. Millions of dollars have been
spent TO advertise II country that
needs no such costly demonstrations
TO bring us before the world, and We
are sufficiently well known at home.
The most Of the money spent at this
Fair will be lost to our people forever
as it goes out of the country.

Which formed the playground for our fun on

1t was built Just by the orchard. and the caves

And IN apple-tree was growing where you came

After crawling slowly upward to the sharply

4 SUCCESSFUL SPECULATION

How lfll1i6nSire Gitard, Of PhIlsdelphla,
Started the Fortune of . Draymans
The advice of shrewd business man
Is sometimes Of more value, even in .
financial sense, than direct aid. It
proved so in the case of drayman who
was employed by Stephen Girard, the
Philadelphia merchant.
One day the drayman. who was an
industrious, bright fellow, with good
many mouths to feed at home, was
heard to remark that he wished he was
rich.
whats that?" sharply said Mr. Gi.
rard, who heard the grumble.
co." said the man, II was only wish.
ing l was rich"
swell, why don't you get rich?'' said
the millionaire harshly.
II don't know how without money!"
returned the drayman.
sYou don't need money" said Girard.
sWell, If you will tell me how to get
rich without money, won't let the
grass grow before trying it," returned
the other.
''There is going to be shipload Of
confiscated tea sold by auction to-mor.
row at the wharf. Go down there and
buy it in, and then come to me-"
The man laughed.
II have no money to buy shipload
of tea WITH" he said.
"You don't need any money, tell
you," snapped the old man go down
and bid on the whole cargo, and then
come to me-"
The next day the drsyman went
down to the sale. A large crowd of re-
tailers were present and the auctioneer
said that those bidding would have the
privilege of taking one case or the
whole shipload, and that the bidding
would be on the pound. He then bega q
the sale. A retail grocer started the
bidding and the drayman raised him.
On seeing this the crowd gazed with no
small amount of suipri Sc. When the
case was knocked down to the drayman
the auctioneer said he supposed the
buyer desired only the one case.
s'Ill take the whole shipload," coolly
re turned the successful bidder.
The auctioneer was astonished, hut,
on some one whispering to him that il
was Girard's man who was the speaker,
his m amer changed, and he said he
supposed it was all right The news
soon spread that Girard was buying tea
in large quantities, and the price rose
several cents
go and sell your tea" said Girard to
the drayman the next day.
The drayman was shrewd, and he
went out and made contracts with sew
eral brokers to take the stock at shade
below the market price, thereby
wakin9 q quick sale. In . few hours

Freaks of Memory.

A smart young cavalry officer was re-
Gently exercising his regiment upon
the drill ground when the familiar
words of commands suddenly slipped
from his mind, and the strenuous effort
made to recall them was utterly futile.
In order to cover his embarrassment he
was compelled to retire from command,
under the plea of illness The fugitive
sentence came to him when he reached
his rooms A still more singular case
is that of a well-known and esteemed
merchant, whose memory so treacher-
ously failed him one morning after
leaving home that he was totally un-
able to locate mis- offices, and was act
ually compelled to inquire rs to their
whereabouts. Another interesting ex-
ample is that of popular novelist who
had nearly finished an important work
upon which he was engaged when q
sudden failure of memory deprived him
of his plot and necessitated the laying
aside of the book for more than week;
then an association of ideas recalled
the missing plot, the novel was brought
to successful issue and enjoyed . wide
circulation.-Boston Globe.
