Hanging on the wall of the sample
room of John Fellmann, at 483 Wells
street, is an ordinary envelope, torn and
crossed with marks and bearing names
and addresses in profusion. 1t is an
American Express Company's envelope,
but could it talk an interesting story
might be cleaned from its yellow, blue
and black surface.
Along in 1883 John Fellmann awakened
one morning in his narrow little room in
Wyoming city, and glanced out upon
the sun-bright streets with sorrow in
his heart. His finances were low, and
his prospects in life seemed bleak and
drear. With many a sigh he donned
his clothing, packed his pitiably small
wardrobe in little grip and started for
the depot. The night before he had be-
sieged his friends and acquaintance, but
it was not until his last loved memento
was sacrificed that he had money enough
to pay his railroad fare to Chicago. So
hard had been this task of raising money
that he even hypothecated ticket on
the old Louisiana State Lottery.
Affairs looked doubly grim upon his
arrival in Chicago, and poor young Fell
mann was even more respondent than he
had been in Wyoming. One morning as
he idly paced the busy streets he hap
pened by the postoffice. Not with any
great expectations, but more to break
the monotony of the day, he stopped in
and inquired for mail. To his surprise
he found letter awaiting him. Care
lessy he opened it, but as soon as he
glanced at the opening lines his face lit
up with eagerness. The letter was from
the friend he had left the lottery ticket
with, and the news was that Fellmann
had captured part of small prize.
The formalities were soon over, and
with a few hundred dollars of his own
Fellmann opened little saloon. Having
once been saved SO OPPORTUNITY from
want, his faith became pinned to the
Louisiana State Lottery Company, and
he regularly bought tickets, sometimes
getting prizes of 500, $50 or 500, but al
ways keeping ahead. He was frugal and
ambitious, and eventually opened his
place on Wells street. After the close of
the Louisiana State Lottery Fellmann in
vested in tickets in its successor, the
Honduras National Lottery. At the July
drawing Fellmann held a one-ffth ticket
of the number that won the third prize,
and the American Express envelope
framed upon his wall is the one that
brought him his prize OF $4,000.
Sol Browarsky, wholesale and retail
liquor dealer at 1923 and 1926 West Ran
dolph street, was another Chicagoan to
capture goodly share of the July drawing
of the Honduras National Lottery Com
pany, formerly Louisiana State Lottery.
The number Sc S66 of which Mr. Brow
arsky held one-fifth, won the first capital
prize, and Mr.. Browarsky was paid $751;
liquor dealer, and is prominent on the
West Side. He has frequently won
smaller prizes, and always devotes part
of the money so easily gained to some
deserving charity or needy family hi

HOLMES BUSINESS COLLEGE.

Every young man and woman should
have a business education, for money is
lost every day by people who are poor in
figures, cannot keep their accounts straight
nor write a good letter, and who do not
know anything about business papers.
Business is beginning to improve, and
there will be openings for a great many
young people; so why not prepare yourself
for some Of these positions2 If you do not
work for others, business education will
not come amiss, for it is worth all it costs
for your own use. No one leads so aimless
a life that he does not have some business
cares.
School opened September 3, and we have
a thorough Commercial Course, Shorthand
Course and two years English Course. For

An old export house with European
connections, doing a large business in
Great Britain and on the continent, has
called our attention to the large falling
off in trade between the United States
and Spain. About a year ago the Span
ish customs authorities issued an order
demanding that a certificate of origin
should accompany all goods entering
that country, which practically has re-
suited in determinations against goods
from the United States. Heretofore
orders taken by European travellers for
German or other houses could be exc
cuted from here, and the fact that they
were rebilled by German merchants, for
instance, was sufficient to enable them
to enter Spanish territory under condi-
tons covered by the favored nation
clause. Now that has been changed, to
the detriment of American shippers

Sir Walter scett's WaverIev Novels FOR
Vacation Reading.
Robert Chambers, publisher, one
night appeared at his club, after a short
absence, and there delighted at least
one MEMBER. C. Jeaffreson-by a
deliciously frank expression of opinion,
says Youths Companion. Jeaffreson
began the conversation by asking:
''What have you been doing since 1
saw you last?''
Il have joost been spending the time
in Scotland with my ain people, and
for my diversion 1 have been reading
yet again Scott's novels. I went de-
iberately through the whole lot o.
them What do you think of mon O.
my years spending the greater part of
the long holidays in sic a way?"
st was in that way that 1 first made
acquaintance with the Waverley-nov-
els. was the enthusiastic reply, ''in
broiling hot summer and autumn. How
you must have enjoyed yourselfi''
''Weel, weel, l Gamma say returned
the Scottish publisher and man of let
ters. Then he looked warily up and
down the room to make sure of not be-
ing heard by any brother Scotsman,
and continued:

would not say it aloud in Adinbro, but
weel you believe me when 1 say that
Sir Walter isn't what he used to be to
me? To tale you the truth, - he added,
lowering his voice almost to whisper,
''to tale you the truth, found him
rather prosy! Ay, but dinna be laugh
ing, or the lads there will be asking
what I said to you. 1t is the truth that
1 tale you; moost conface fund him

VOLCANOES IN ALASKA.

More Than Two Score of Them Have
Been Active in the Present Century.
Recently read an account of a bona
fide advertisement in a Scandinavian
paper of stupendous volcanoes for sale
for about four hundred dollars, says a
writer in the Christian Advocate.
They are located in Iceland. Alaska
might glut the market in this aesthetic
article if it were to put all its stock on
sale. The number which have been
active within one hundred years is va
riously estimated by the authorities 1
have consulted as all the way from
forty-five to sixty-one. More than
twelve have been active within twen-
ty years and five at least within four
years. Among the most narkable is
Bogorlof, one hundred miles west of
Unalaska. This, about six hundred
feet high, together with the part of the
island from which it rises, has come
up out.of the sea within few years.
and constantly sends out steam and
smoke. Makushin, on UnalaSka,
though snow-covered, pours out i'm
mense volumes of steam and milk
white smoke, visible on clear day
nearly sixty miles at sea. Alxutan acts
like a geyser, putting at intervals of
island, a perfect cone S,755 feet above
the sea, snow-covered, but washed by
the ocean at it's base, striped down its
sidds with ashes and condensed smoke,
was still smoking.
1t has no foot hills, and it's precipi-
tous slopes fall into the great Pacific
ocean on the south and Bering sea on
the north. Elliott says: sit is wholly
safe to say that Shishaldin is the most
beautiful peak of vast altitude upon
the North American continent"
Pavlof, on the Alaska peninsula, sends
out from~the side huge clouds of pitch
black smoke hot enough to melt two
feet of snowfall in few minutes. 1t
puffs at intervals like locomotive.
Ilnamna, OF the shore of Cooks inlet,
is 12,O66 feet high, and constantly
sends out ashes and smoke of brim-
stone. In 1888 Mount ST. Augustine,
$50 miles north of Kadiak island, was
active, and, according to the official re-
port of Gov. Knapp, covered the
decks OF ships hundreds of miles at
sea with ashes" In 1874 Capt. Lehman
was sent to the islands of the Four
Mountains, west of Umnak. to explore
cave said to contain mumnies (of
which he brought seventeen bodies,
now in different museums). While on
this trip he discovered on Kagamil
island a volcanic mountain of low
altitude, from which issued jets of
sulphufous steam, smoke and noxious
gases of such horrible stencil as to
compel him to stand off from shore.
Mount st. Elias sent out smoke and
vapor in 1889, and in 1s47, when 1.-The
earthquake occurred which shook the
whole Sitl1a region, flame and ashes
came from its summit

he had second attack. He says: "In
