A FORTUNE IN A DAY.
A Guatemalan Who Laid the Founda-
ton of His Fortune in Queer Way.
From Pearson's Weekly

John James Mage, quiet, middle-aged
man, has had career as romantic as
that of Monte Cristo, Mage is now a
Guatemalan millionaire. who lives nine
months of the year in Paris. Twenty
years ago he was a poor English collec-
tor of insects in Guatemala and also acted
as the British vice consul at San jose
One day Commandante Gonzales ordered
Mage to appear before him. Mago sent
word that ne would come in a short time.
This incensed the commandante, and he
sent file of soldiers after Mage and,
when the insect collector appeared, order
ed fifty lashes to be laid upon his bare
back. This was done very thoroughly, and
when 1t was finished, Gonzales shouted:
Give him fifty more for luck.
When Mage recovered, which was only
after careful nursing, as his back was
badly cut up, he made a formal complaint
to the British government. The result
was that Guatemala was ordered to punish
Gonzales, and to pay Mage $500 for every
lash he had received. In default of this
English cruisers would shell San Jose
and other coast cities.
Guatemala readily punished Gonzales
but tried hard to eVade paying $50 coo to
orable, and the poor collector was made
comparatively rich man in one day. AS
he had more coin than any one in the coun-
try at that time, President Barrios went
into partnership with him
Mage became one of the largest coffee
planters and also secured the contract
tor building docks in the port No one
can land or leave one of these docks with
out paying toll to Mage, while he also
ievies a tax on all freight. He also owns
valuable mines and tracts of timber. His
fortune is estimated at FL coo, 600, all due to
100 lashes on the back.
