neighborhood and got all the children I'd
put down their names and give him dimes
and he collected $40 Just by himself
aud he's little bit of boy. You can

II you work twice as hard this week as
you did last you will have more than $50.

that when they were put into book

royalties accruing therefrom- MIR.
Box, however, of his own accord,
generously released General Harrison
from paying him any royalty. for the
reason, as he states, that by the pub

of his magazine was enlarged many
thousands, The profits TO the Ladies'

AT HIS OLD FRANKS.


Count Mitkiewisx IL Indicted For Fraudu-
lent Practices.
The recent announcement that the
Washington grand jury had returned an
indictment against Count Eugene Nit
kiewicz on charge of obtaining money
under false pretenses was OF interest to
men in various parts Of the Union. 1t
was nearly q dozen years ago that
Count Mitkiewicz began series Of ex-
ploits which in a short time gave him a
national reputation. He had married
the granddaughter Of an Amherst COL
lege professor, and for nearly year he
amused himself with the college men.
He was clever talker and had travelled
much and gained experience. At Am
herst he was conspicuous for his skill in
billiards and his long finger nails. Ap-
parently he didn't take himself very Sc
riously. and the casual acquaintance
that he made among the college men
were quite ready to accept the counts
own estimate of himself.
Much to their surprise, they found
that some men of wealth were taking
the count very seriously two years later.
One of his stanchest friends in New
York city was the millionaire proprietor
Of an afternoon newspaper that adver-
tised itself by printing Q text at the
head Of its editorial page. The newspa-
Per proprietor and the count were
chums, and the former expected to in
crease his wealth materially by Chi
nese concession that the latter proposed
to get. Other men became interested in
IL. and the count went to Washington
with the price Of their experience and
gave color to their hopes by his apparent
intimacy with the members of the Chi
nese Legation. There was man in Phil
adelphia who had faith in the counts
Chinese schemes, and he invested money
in them. Suddenly the bottom seemed
to fall out Of these projects and Wall
street ceased to take any interest in the
count His good friend. the colonel,
died, and the count went to live in a
New York boarding house, and q rather
gay circle Of acquaintances saw much
of him. During the past two years New
York has heard little of him.-New
York Sun.
