A Lost Opportunity,

From Council Bluffs, Ia, comes story
that illustrates several phases of human
nature. In that city the other day man
who is very poor, and who is likely to re-
main so owing to the fact that an accident
has deprived him of both his arms, found
q large roll Of greenbacks. The money lay
in the gutter, and the finder could almost
hear it beg him to pick it up. This, on ac-
count of his misfortune, he could not do.
So he quietly kicked the treasure into the
shadow of building and tried to think
out safe method of transferring it to his
lameptably empty pocket. AT last small
bootblack sauntered by, and the man con-
cluded to take chances. With fine pre-
tense of having just dropped the bill, the
man gruffly ordered the youngster to as
sist him. The boy eomprehended the situ-
alton at glance, seized the little fortune,
took to his heels, and, easily distancng his
angry pursuer, vanished permanently from
the .-Exchange.
