SUCCESSFUL SPECULATION
How stephen Girard Started His Draymar
ON the Road to Fortune.

ON the ROAD To fortune.
The advice of a shrewd business
man is sometimes of more value,
even in financial sense, than direc
aid.
1t proved to be so in the case of a
drayman who was employed by
Stephen Girard the Philadelphia
merchant.
One day the drayman, who was an
industrious, bright fellow with a
good many mouths to fill at home,
was heard to remark that he wished
he was rich.
whats that" sharply said Mr..
Girard, who heard the grumble.
"Oh," said the man, Il was only
wishing l was rich.
well, why don't you get rich?"
said the millionaire, harshly.
Il don't know how without money"
returned the drayman.
"You don't need money" said Gil
rard.
well, if you will tell me how to
get rich without money, / won't let
the grass grow before trying it, re-
turned the other
There is going to be ship load of
confscated tea sold by auction to-
morrow at the wharf. Go down
there and buy it in, and then come
to me.
Il have no money to buy a whole
ship-load Of tea with, he said
You don't need any money | tell
YOU" snapped the old man. $50
down and bid on the whole cargo,
and then come to me-"
The next day the drayman went
down to the sale. A large crowd of
retailers were present, and the auc-
| tioneer said that those bidding would
have the privilege of taking one case
or the whole ship-load, and that the
bidding would be on the pound.
| He then began the sale. A retail
grocer started the bidding, and the
drayman raised him.
On seeing this, the crowd gazed
with no small amount of surprise
| When the case was knocked down to
the drayman, the auctioneer said he
supposed the buyer desired only the
/ one case.
"I'll take the whole ship-load, "
coolly returned the successful bidder.
The auctioneer was aStonished;
but, on some one whispering to him
that it was Girard's man who was
the speaker his manner changed,
and he said he supposed it was all
right.
The news soon spread that Grard
was buying tea in large quantities,
and the price rose several cents.
$50 and sell your tea," said Girard
to the drayman the next day.
The drayman was shrewd and he
went out and made contracts with
several brokers 10 take the stock at q
shade below the market price, thereby
making quick sale
In few hours he was worth fifty
! Thousand dollars

Thousands Of people have gone to thelr
deaths with Brighrs Disease of the Kidneys
and Diabetes without suspectng the nature OF
their trouble until within month or two OF
the grave. 1t Is now declared by one of the
most reputable Drug Associations in the
country that these kidney troubles are the
the result Of traemc poisoning, and that
certain cure has been discovered. The ma
jorlty of people who find health and strength
gradually failing either have no suspicion y
the nature of the trouble, or, having al
ways been told that Bright's disease could
never be cured have shrunli from the knowI-
edge that they were victims of It. Now that
n cure has been discovered however there
need be no hesitation In learning what indl-
Gates the disease, and each case can he tested
at home by the one Interested without even
expense or Inconvenience. Progressive phy-
stciaus are now agreed that for the several
months before childbirth all women are es-
pcclaily subject to kidney troubles, and that
tests should he ma lie during this time to de-
termlnc whether sugar or alnumen indicate
kidney disease. The many cases OF Uraemlc
commissions occasionlng death at or proceed
ing child birth, are due to this cause, which 10
too often overlooked or unsuspected. From
all this it would seem plain duty to take ad-
