ODD FREAKS OF FORTUNE.
Unexpected Windfaiis of Wealth For
Those Who Needed Them.

While most people find 10 very hard To
acquire even modest competency, others
are more lucky, and to them fortunes
come without even the asking. Several
such instances have occurred OF late years,
some Of them of an interesting character.
it was only short while since that poor
ragpicker in Birmingham suddenly found
himself "A man of wealth. BY dint Of
working from dawn till late at night no
had been in the habit of making tho not
very exorbitant income of So. 90 per week.
One morning be heard from firm of So
licitors in London, who requested him TO
call, when no would learn something TO
his advantage. He found that long lost
brother, who had made money in Aus
tralia, had recently died there, leaving
him "a sum of rs, 900.
At Tamworth, England, tobacconist
has unexpectedly found himself the heir
to baronetcy. For some time past no
has been in receipt of 25s. Cd week,
having served as sergeant in the Suf-
folk regiment; hut, finding this sum in
adequate, he took tobacconist shop at
Tamworth and was apparently contented
with his lot, when no awoke TO find him
self baronet of tho United Kingdom.
A schooner which went ashore off the
American coast with 200 tons of coal,
being abandoned by her owners, was sold
for $40. Some 400 tons of coal had been
got out of the hull when suddenly the yes
sci slid of the rock and sank in deep wa
ter, only, however, to float again the next
morning and drift with the tide right
into port. Is seems that sufficient coal
had ratified through the holes in her bottom
to let the hull come again to the surface
with some 300 tons of coal still in. As the
vessel then stood, she was worth SO, 900 or
more to those who bought it for $40
A couple of lucky domestics have lately
come into possession of considerable sum
of money through the death of their mis-
tress an old lady of So, who left them her
entire fortune. The sum TO be divided is
$3.50, 900, and it is bequeathcd to them in
recognition of their long and faithful
services, one of them having been 20 and
the other Is years with tho lady in ques-
ton.
The effects produced by suddenly ac-
quired wealth are sometimes startling in
the extreme. A suburban Partisan who
lately inherited G16, 900 from an elderly
aunt ut once began to look about for some
outlet for spending the money quickly
At length the craze for building specula-
zion seized him, and he built houses wher-
ever sites were obtainable. He went on in
this way for some time, when his mind
became unhinged, and he was found one
day walking around his newly built houses
firing shots from navy revolver at inag-
mary enemies. Boston Traveller.

A bumptious Englishman was dining
with a lady at u table d'hote. Seated OPP
posite to them was a German on whose
hands were some rings.
After gazing at the German the English
man said to his companions:
II hate TO see man with rings on"
A supercilious sneer was all the German

After little time the Englishman again
said to the LADY,

Miss Minnie Sullivan sang one OF her

THE KLINE SHOE 60.

Nothing in the Retail
Trading of this city in years
can compare with our record
in Shoe Selling for last Sat-
urday. We have practically
been doing the shoe business
of this town, and we have
sold thousands of pairs at
prices that were a revelation.
1t would seem as if every
pair of shoes we sold was tell
ing the story of the sale; how
we bought them at one-half
their regular price and sold
them in the same way.
One satisfied customer
brought another, and so on
ad infnitum. There's the
story of our success in shoe
selling. We will go on this
week in the same wav, but
probably the selling will be
bigger, as the attractions are
possibly greater than before.
We would advise intending
buyers to come during the
week, as it was impossible for
us to wait on one.quarter of
the customers who crowded,
or rather, over-crowded our
store last Saturday.
