GOT HIS COMMISSION.

A Sure and Speedy Way of Obtaining

II had a queer conversation in my
Office the other day." said the head of
well-known banking concern, over the
walnutS and the wine at his table. 'It
happened in this manner. At noon most
OF the clerks 60 out for luncheon, and the
porter, Jim, an aged but very knowing
cOlored man, is often called upon TO leave
his position by the door for few min
Gtes.
well, last Wednesday l sat in my
office. tilted back in the desk chair,
struggling with very knotty problem
on change.
Wrapped in my thoughts, as I was,
still there seemed to be something exert
ing an influence to make me turn
around.
This subtle thought transference [ re-
sisted until it became overwhelming, and
l sharply twisted the chair about.
There stood before me the least SEM
blance of man Pve yet seen, clad in
raiment that once had been fashionable,
but which now was not alone out Of date
bya year, but had lost all of its shape
and goodly portion OF its integral struct-
ure.
Now, in extreme youth I'd been fooled
by the apparent inability of one man to
clothe himself properly, and before
got through with the costs of having
treated him as MS clothing would seem
to warrant l had TO sign a good many
checks, SO, like flash, it went through
my brain here is capitalist in disguise
or he'd never have got past Jim. In the
most suave manner possible | glanced
at him, bowed and said: Good day, sir,
what can | do for your He began to
tumble with his hip pocket. Norcross,
Jr., thought l, but it was nothing SO ex-
citing. He simply pulled out small
book and handed it to me. l read the

"'Yes, commission he repeated. Il

books in New York alone, and know
that | am entitled to a commission from
every banker and broker in the city.
Your debt to me Well put at $40 for

''Crank, thought I, but before 1 had
time to think again he continued:
"'You see, there are eight thousand
young men who tried my way of getting
rich suddenly. Their avaricious minds
craved riches, and they tried my method
they stimulated trading on the ex-
changes; every broker reaped harvest
of commission, and all 1 want is my
share
But, sir, you should be rich your
self, then. if you have sure and speedy
method of making a fortune l put in.
No, followed my own advice was
the answer, and he rose to GO.
"'What did you do?' came in a spon-
taneous chorus from the guests.

suggestive TO need further demonstra-

"W hat have they been doing?" l asked

Furthermore, southern icebergs appear
to be composed OF two or more strata or
layers, OF Ice, and are far clearer than their
northern sisters, on account of their free
dom from foreign matter and the purity
OF the ice which compOses them. These
distinctive features are not so prominent
in the old bergs, which have been partly
melted and broken away by the wa
ter.
The porous glacial ice of the bergs is
about one-seventh lighter than sea water.
and only one-seventh of its bulk iuts
above the surface of the water. 1t must
not be imagined, however, that an ice
berg one hundred feet high reaches six
hundred feet below the surface. This
would be the case if the berg were an ex-
act geometrical figure, which it is not. 1t
Is one-seventh OF its bulk that appears
above the surface. and not of its hight,
The part under the watet-the remaining
slx-seventh-may be made up in width
and breadth, rather than depth, as indeed
is generally the case.-Home and Coun-
