How a Millionaire Enjoyed Doughnuts and
Cheese and Apple Pie.
If boys knew how much the circum.
stances and almost the privations OF
their lot are envied by prosperous Ell.
derby men, they would perhaps be more
easily reconciled to some of the hard.
ships that they meet. An exchange
relates a curious story which illus.
trates the envy which even rich men
may have for some simple things which
poor boys enjoy.
The wealthy head of a great corpo-
ration, which employs many people,
was n day wandering about the
premises of the concern. 1t was near
midday. He happened to come upon a
dinner-pail, standing in a cool corner.
He surmised that it might belong to
the office-boy; and sc it did.
The dinner-pail somehow exercised a
fascination ove the man. He could
not resist the temptation to lift the
lid. Within he saw a slice of home.
made bread, well buttered; two dough.
nuts, brown and fresh; a slice of new
cheese and a piece of apple pie.
The millionaire at once felt very
hungry-hungrier than he had beenfor
many a day. The dinner-pail carried
him back to a time. sixty years ago.
when he had carried just such a pail,
when he had had in it bread and but.
er and doughnuts and apple pie, and
when these things had tasted very good
to him.
He became a boy again, and he could
not resist the temptation to eat out of
this pail. Squatting on the floor. he
fell OF to the bread and butter and
then on the doughnuts and cheese, and
just eating the apple pie when the
office-boy came running up.
"Look heret" the boy cried out.
''That's my dinner you're eating therer!'
eyes, 1 suppose it is" said the mil
lionaire. "But it's a irst-rate dinner
for all that. 1 haven't eaten SO good a
one for fifty years"
He finished the pie and then, rising.
took out his pocketbook and from it
handed the office-boy a fve-dollar bill.
There" said he, Ego out and buy
your dinner. 1 couldn't have got for
five dollars a dinner that l should have
enjoyed so much. What I've eaten is
well worth it."
Then he babe the wondering boy
good-by and went to his ofice.-Chics

CRUELTY IN THE KITCHEN.
Ignorance and CareIessness In the Hand
ling of Fish.

Ignorance and CareIessness in the Hand
ling of Fish.
Ignorance is very busy among those
who handle fish; and though everyone
knows how to destroy a fish at once by
a blow at the back of the head, care
l~essness often forgets to see it done.
Fish suffer in the air after they are
landed as we should suffer if our heads
were under water, because their gills
through which they breathe can not
act without the pressure of the
water going through them. We, under
water, can not breathe in the same
fashion as they do, and thus we strug-
gle till death releases us; so do the fish
on land.
We are often willfully and ignorantly
cruel in our way of killing Holsters and
crabs. To kill crabs properly, they
should, before boiling, be thrust
through with a sharp steel right
through the mouth and body at one
blow. Then they are dead directly.
The eel tribe suffers terribly. Sc
difficult Is it, apparently, to kill eels
that people have ceased to kill them at
all. y = If their heads were cut
off before they were otherwise han
died, they would not suffer pain, Ter
rapins also should be mercifully killed
before being cooked.
When a lobster is required for boil.
ing or broiling, insert a narrow-bladed
knife into the third joint of the tail,
severing the spinal cord, which will
cause instant death. 1t is certainly
cruel to put them into the water alive,
especially if it is not boiling, as they
then suffer a slow, lingering death

II see petroleum has been discov

a downtown hotel the other evening.
and it was noticed that there was
tinge of incredulity in his tone.
"Yes; l believe they have struck oil
up that way" was the corroborativt
evidence of one of his hearers.

"Yes, that's the way I made my for.
tune, which at the present time just
lacks two thousand dollars of being a
blamed cent. Those are my liabilities:
assets nominal, as the papers say"
How did it happen?"
"Well it was this way: I had a
mineral spring on my ranch in Lake
county. and the gas that came out of it
used to kill little birds that came tc
drink. Natural gas says 1, and COM
menced poking around a little with a
spade. Then a yellow, greasy scum
formed on top of the water. Coal OIL
says l, and 1 commenced dreaming of
tanks of petroleum and barrels OF
money. 1 got a cheap drilling outfit
and bored a hole down about eighty
feet, and all the neghbors sat around
laughing at me, but Ireckoned on hav.
ing the last laugh.
Zone morning when I went to work
the hole smelt awful strong of coal oil,
and the first lift brought up a lot
of oil that burned for half an hour.
I've struck OIL says 1 to my.
self, but 1 kept it quiet. ] let a few
of my friends in, we organized a
company, bought up all the land
around there, got an expensive outfit
and commenced drilling. We punched
the ground full of holes for about six
months, and couldn't find oil enough
to make a grease spot On a silk dress.
1t broke the whole crowd of u.s."
"How did you chance to strike that
little pocket of oil in the first placer"
81 just found out that one of the
neighbours boys poured a five-gallon
can of oil in the hole one night to
make me feel good, and, if anybody
should ask you, you can tell them that

She smiled al him with hat insolent
twinkle in her eyes which became her
so we'll; but he only repeated slowly,
as he looked straight back into those
insolent eyes:
II think l shall never come near you
again" Then he turned, forgetful of
his manners, and walked away from
the vicarage lawn, while her contempt.
uous laugh echoed in his ears as a
knocking comment on his words. Then
he mounted his horse and. white with
anger, went slowly down the leafy
lane.
A passionate man of a comely
tenance, a chestnut horse with one
white stocking, a struggling village in
a prosperous valley, an amphitheater
of crag and gorse and bowlder, an aft
ernoon sun shining down on every
thi these things were all present,
anu this same sunshine was softening
the outward appearance of all. Even
the wild hills showed a gentle, placid
face in the mellow shine of it, as might
a hoary warrior in looking upon the
sleep of children; all was peace, and
languor, and contentment; only in the
heart of the man was torment unbear-
able.
Il will never go near her again-I
am glad l told her So" he ragged, in
wardly. II think hate her-1 think"
The chestnut turned his head to-
wards the village, where the children
and the geese screamed together on
the green, rivals in noise, in restless
ness, in dissatisfaction; rivals indeed
in all save cleanliness, in which virtue
the geese undoubtedly rose superior.
The man hesitated. mo, / will not

Margaret! Why were you not Helen?
Why did 1 ever think l loved Mar
garet? Love! That cold, sluggish
preference, love! What a fool l was.
And she; could not she herself feel
the GOODNESS of it? The one love of
NV life'-Pshaw!'
The chestnut kept his easy pace and
began to mount the slope. The sun
still blazed down on all, but the air
grew less sultry than in the valley
through which they had passed.
Helen, Helen!do youlove me at all,
I wonder. If thought soft l knew
there was q chance"
The chestnut ~slackened pace at the
foot of the Tor itself, and set his Shout
ders for the ascent. The suns tints
deepened as the afternoon wore on,
and a scuffing breeze blew soft across
the land.

or course you have heard of Marion
County, Arkansas. You have heard that
il sent to the Worlds Fair at Chicago the
largest piece of zinc ore the world had
ever seen, weighing 10, 800 fbs. You do
not know perhaps that the mine from
which 1t was taken was sold five years ago
for 800, and can not be bought TO day
for $500, 900, although it is rs miles from
railroad, you do not know perhaps
that there are many other zinc mines in
Marion county, now worth from $4,000
to $780, that could have been bought
for from $40 to $50 per acre, in an unde-
veloped state. You do not know, perhaps
that there has never been shaft sunk to
depth of 30 feet anywhere in this county
without striking rich lead, zinc, copper or
marble. You 10 not know that experts
believe that paying ore can be found in
any part of the county by sinking a shaft
from 20 to 200 feet deep. You do know
that capitalists have bought up most Of
the zinc land and stand ready to buy the
remainder as soon as railroad is started
toward this county. Yoa do not know
that such road will be started this year,
and that mining lands will 60 out OF sight
as soon as the road is started. II you are
wise you will get at least one acre of this
land before it is too late. When the road
comes you eau either sink shaft on it,
lease 1t, or sell it, and make from 100 to
10000 per cent on your investment. l
have 1900 mineral lots of one acre each,
will sell 300, every third lot, this year
at about what the land is worth for fruit,
$l5, s. down and So each month until
paid. The lots all lie In the very heart of
the mineral district of Marion county, are
all alike as all are within half mile of
zinc openings. Next year expect to sell
800 more lots at $50 per acre, and by the
year after l expect at least one railroad
completed to this place when the last 500
will bring at least 800 each.
