Mailing Candy Abroad.

A young man who apparently knows
q girl in London came into the office the
other day and ted whether candy
could be sent alb Dad through the mails.
So he was taken over to the postoffice
and the state of affairs was laid before
an official, who instigated an investiga-
tion. After "A long time he returned and
reported as follows:
81 am very glad, said he, "that you
asked that question. Its answer shows
a curious state of affairs In this coun-
try you can send candy up to pounds
as merchandise for 1 cent for each
ounce If you want to send candy
abroad you only have to pay l cent for
every 2 ounces, but you can only send
10 ounces in each package. If it weighs
more than II ounces you have to pay
letter rates, or 10 cents an ounce for the
whole thing.
''Ihat is to say, you can send 10
ounces to London for cents, but it
would cost you 10 cents to send it to
Brooklyn. SO if you are thinking of
sending IA pound it will cost you SLIGO.
The stamp department is right over

''Thank you very much" said the
young man. 81 just happen to remem-
ber that the doctor has forbidden the

THE RISE AND DECLINE OF A BO-
MANIA KING.

jerome B. Whceler's Sudden Success In
the Colorado Silver Mines How He
Doomed the Town of Aspen-Reycrscs
That Have Depleted His Fortune.
The life story of jerome B. Wheeler
is much more interesting than that of
the ordinary individual, although the
narration of the events in the life of
any person can never be wholly dull. 1t
is the story of the rise and fall of IA
mnltimillionaire and contains elements
OF the highest dramatic quality. Be
ginning life i'll an obscure and humble
station, he Tcached a point where for
several years he was known as Il bonan-
"a king. in four short years his i'm
mense fortune has crumbled away until
today, while he is by no means bank
rupt or i'll danger of becoming a pauper
he counts his remaining dollars by the
thousands rather than hy the millions
and the glamour of great wealth has left
him.
About 1915 Jerome b. Wheeler was
an ambitious hut impecunious clerk in
a big wholesale house in New York
city. Later he made the acquaintance of
Miss Valentine. 1t happened that
Miss Valentines uncle Nas one of the
firm cf one Of the largest department
stores i'll the metropolis. When he mar
ried Miss Valentine, Wheeler went into
the big store on a salary. In the course
of time the uncle died and left the for
mer Miss Valentine an interest in the
big store. That made Wheeler partner
In 1879 the Leadville mining fever
struck New York and Wheeler caught
it, He promptly sold out his sintercst for
good sum and went to Lcadvillc By
the time he got there Aspen was Just
beginning to loom up as the big silver
mining camp of Colorado. He was one
OF the few mon on the ground with cap
ital, and although he probably made
many poor investments those which
were good yielded such big profits that
his capital rapidly multiplied Finally
lie bought the Emma silver mine, which
had begun to show good ore, paying
S25, 900 for it. Soon after he came into
possession of this property rich vein
of silver was struck, varying from 40 to
80 feet thick. The ore was enormously
rich, and i'll some places Il single ton of
it was worth as much as the original
purchase price.
ihe Emma began to prove Il veritable
Golconda and Wheeler found himself
growing richer aud richer every minute

WHY 1T WAS HOT.
The Hash Epicure's Initial Expericr
With a Chatting Dish.

The Hash Epicure's Initial Experience
With n Chatting Dish.
81 had heard of chatting dishes for
years, said Smiley Williams, "but the
one l saw for the first time floorcd me
completely.
Il never thought much about the
blamed things, but somehow supposed
chaiing dish was some sort of concern
that they grated things in-something
that rubbed together and mashed things.
"The other night, though, Bolton
and l went into Madison street res
taurant for dinner. You know 1 always
have sneakng liking for hash of any
kind, and so does Bolton. Bolton order
ed turkey hash for two, and the waiter
brought it on in swell sort of silver
dish nearly as tall as cake basket. 1t
had tight cover, and when we opened
it it steamed like 40 horse power boil
er blowing off
~ loaded up Bottoms plate, and in
the first pass at it he took the skin off
his tongue, it was SO hot
g Just like these internal places,
Bolton growled. Anything you've got
to eat is blistering hot, while coffee is
always stone cold.'
"After awhile Bolton took some more
hash and burned his tongue again.
Holy Moses, he said, what's got
into that hash?'
81 told him nobody was expected to
know anything about restaurant hash,
especially the fellow who was eating it,
but he WASH satisfied.
"Well, we kept on eating hash until
we had enough. And do you know that
hash left in the dish was hotter than it
was at the start?
WELL, said Bolton, 4 wouldn't
have believed my eyes, but with most
of the skin off my tongue I've got to
give it up Then he called the waiter.
Say, he said, i'll low tone, I'll
give you quarter if you'll tell me
what in blazes is the matter with that
hash
Beg pahdon, sah?'
What keeps that hash so all fired
hot?'
Why, sab, that's chatting dish,

PLACE NAMES.
Some Odd and Curious Names of Places

Some Odd and Curious Names of Places
In Massachusetts.
In the Middlesex fells sorae good old
colonial names are preserved, like jim
glejerry hill and Shillyshally brook
Spot pond was named by Governor
Winthrop, who discovered it in the win
ter, because of the many rocks that
showed through the ice and spotted the
surface. Powderhorn hill in Chelsea is
said to have been bought from the In
dians for hornful of powder.
The fact of misfortune to divers un-
known persons-whether trivial or great
does not appear-finds record in Bad
Luck brook and swamp in Rehoboth,
Bad Luck mountain in Granville and
Bad Luck pond i'll Douglas. There may
be some association between Burncoat
brook and pond i'll Leicester and Spencer
and Burnshirt river, likewise in Worces-
ter county.
Drinkwater river is felicitous name
for stream of good water. 1t is in
Hanover, and possibly there may have
been family of that name in the neigh
borhood. Strong Water brook in Tewks-
bury has quite different associations.
Sought For pond, in Westford, suggests
long and baffled quest for the spot
through the wilderness in tho Olden
days. One of the least euphonious of
names is Sliug river in Essex and Mid
dlesex counties. 1t is worthy place
am ong such English names as Worm
wood Scrubs, a park in London.
The legend about the names of the
group of islands on the south coast pre-
sents an instance of how fancod resem-
blances give rise to stories. 1t is related
that these islands once belonged to
man with four daughters. TO Nancy,
the oldest, the father gave the first
choice, and the fact that "Nan took it"
is recorded in the name of Nantucket,
the island she selected. Nantucket, of
course, is III reality an Indian namo.
Martha's Vineyard and the Elizabeth
islands went to Martha and Elizabeth,
respectively, while for the fourth daugh-
ter, whose name has been lost to men,
ory, there was nothing left but the most
remote and undesirable of tho group,
which was called No Mans Land be-
cause its owner was woman. The
Elizabeth islands, in fact, We're named
for Queen Elizabeth by Bartholomew

has been given to the town that COM

JEROME y. WHEELER

Then Ee began to worry about the sound
ness cf Ills tillc. 1t seems that the mine
had been discovered by two poor pros
pectors who lad been GRUB staked" by
Colonel M :lic Fisk, Confederate vet
eran. OH" Of the prospectors was Will
liam j. Wood, Il Canadian and the other
was an old miner named Fitzpatrick.
Wood was l!lled i'll Leadville saloon
and kilpatrjcl disappeared. Fisk had
advertised" both men out of it and by
the terms Ct mining law had assumed
full possession when he sold out to
Wheeler
Knowing this history of the mine,
Wheeler took great pains to secure his
title. He f0und that Fisk had no right
TO "adv"rtisc out" adcad man and that
the advertisement lacked just three days
Of having lccn displayed for the proper
time, Then lie hired lawyers and detect
ives to trace down the Fitzpatrick and
Wood heirs. The former was found
alive and relinquished his claim for
$40, ,0G0. Wood heirs were found only
after Il long search and bought off for
small sum.
Then Wheeler was satisfied. He boom
ed things Iii Aspen at Il rate that made
him the talk of the country. He estab-
liShed la! K there and built one of the
finest mansions in the west as Il home
for himself and family. He raised the
place from tho level Of mining camp
to city of 10000 Inhabitants. Then
he went to Manitou and did almost as
much for that town. He entertained in
princely style and was held up as IL
model citizen throughout Colorado.
Then came the crash. One day a
quiet little fellow walked into Wheeler's
office and IN the name of the Wood
heirs demanded possession of the Aspen
mine and Il big share of the profits
which Wheeler had been III; 2 ng for ten
years. Wheeler ordered him out of the
office. PrerCStcrous as the claim seemed
then, it would have been economy for
Wheeler had he complied at once
But he didn't. The quiet little man
began suits, carried them from court to
court, and in 1895 won "a Judgment
which cost Wheeler nearly So. 600, 600 to
settle. The case was won ON the point
that Wheeler settled the original claims
of tho Wood heirs with money which
belonged to them and not to him.
From that point ON Wheeler's mil
lions have been rapidly Slipping away,
and the latest signs of his downfall
have been the closing of his banks in
