the Chickasaws stealing is punishable by
death, and 1t seems that this young buck
had been thrice convicted of larceny. The
chief Of the tribe, who alone could save
him, refused pardon, and there was moth
ing to do but carry out the sentence The
condemned man was placed in a wagon
and driven to graveyard just east Of the
little village where he had been tried. He
descended from the wagon and with stoical
demeanor walked to where his grave had
been freshly dug and surveyed It with ap-
parent unooncern. Then no knelt and
prayed with a preacher who had known
him from boyhood. Arising, he walked
firmly to the head Of his grave, where no
took his seat upon a large stone, facing
death with courage that seemed sublime
After saying few words, In which he ad-
vised all young men of his race to take
warning and lead honest lives, he was
blindfolded, and second later the sharp
report of dozen winchesters rang out
and his earthly existence was ended.

Ono Of tho silliest Hes ever told was tho
famous invention of Sailor Man John Bren-

cabled round tho world wherever men 60

About o'clock on the afternoon Of Oct.
II, 1891, . bulletin was posted 1t the Mari
time Exchange that tho City Of Rome had
foupdered OF 81. Shots, on tho coast OF
Newfoundland. About the same time tho
Newspaper Offices got dispatch from 81.
Johns, N. r., saying that Sailor Man John
Brennan Of Sligo, Ireland, had got Into
tho little town Of Trepassey that morning
from Peters river and had declared that
no was probably tho only survivor Of the
City Of Rome. which had struck ON tho
rocks and gone down. He was In such o
condition Of exhaustion that nothing more
could be got out Of him until he had had
rest and nourishment.
That story was cabled and tclcgraphcd
everywhere, and at once tho newspapers
began TO strive for further details. Tho
first effort was TO get confirmation or de-
nial. II was found at once that the City
of Rome had sailed from New York at such
time that she must have been near st.
Shots when Brennan said she was there.
That looked like confirmation. Tho even
Ing papers got out extras with lists Of the
passengers and crew, pictures OF the ship
and her history. The Offices Of the Anchor
line agents were crowded with persons
eager for news. But there WAS no news.
Friends Of the passengers docked about
the place. The Maritime and Lloyd Reg
listers were searched for reports Of otber
ships with names similar TO that OF the
City OF Rome. An Italian Citta di Roma
was found, but when she was tracked II
was found that she was all right.
Then the newspapers began to prepare
to send men to the scene OF the wreck.

That was all. For tho next "a hours the
truth hustled to oyertake the lie. 1t sue

THE DIGNITY OF TRADE.


Andrew Carnegie Tells How tho Old Time
Prejudice Has Been Overcome.
II q young man does not find romance
in his business, 1t Is hit the fault Of the
business, but tho fault Of the young man.
Business Is not all dollars. These are but
the shell. The kernel lies within and Is t.
be enjoyed later as the higher faculties Of
the business man so constantly called into
play develop gnd mature.
The old prejudice against trade has gon.
even from the strongholds In Europe.
This change has come because trade itself
has changed. In old days every branch Of
business was conducted upon tho smallest
retail scale, and small dealings In small
affairs breed small men. Besides every
man had to be occupied with the details,
and indeed each man manufactured OF
traded for himself. The higher qualities
Of organization and Of enterprise. of broad
views and Of executive ability, were not
brought into play. In our day business ir
all branches IL conducted upon 80 gigantic
scale that partners Of huge concern are
rulers over domain. The large employer
of labor sometimes has more men In his
industrial army than the petty German
kings had under their banners. =
can with confidence recommend t.
business career as one In which there Il
abundant room for the exercise of man'i
highest powers and of every good quality
In human nature. I believe the career oil
the great merchant or banker or captain
Of industry to be favorable to the develop
ment of the powers of the mind and to the
fipening Of the judgment upon q wide
range Of general subjects, to freedom from
prejudice and the keeping of an open mind.
And I do know that permanent success IL
not obtainable except by fair and honor
able dealing, by irreproaohable habits and
correct living, by the display Of good sense
and rare Judgment In all the relations Of
human life, for credit and confidence fly
from the business man foolish in word and
deed, or irregular In habits, or even sus.
pected Of sharp practice. The busines,
career Is thus stern school Of all tho vir
tues.-Andrew Carnegie In Penny Maga
zine.
