OF Two Country Dealers.


OF Two Country Dealers.
From Chicago Chronicle: Many
man in Chicago now envies Joseph
Letter and wishes that he had had the
foresight and capital sufficient to per-
init him to embark in vast wheat
deal. And it might seem that such
men have good reason to be envious
because the young wheat king appears
to be in good favor with Dame Fortune
at the present time. But with all the
advantages of knowledge OF power,
a generously large bank account and
other things which Mr.. Letter has
gained there have come certain disad-
vantages. Chief among these are the
eranks and curious individuals without
number who have apparently come to
the conclusion that Joseph Letter must
have a warm place in his heart for
each and every one of them. Men and
women with every kind of scheme
throng his offices in the Board of Trade
building and beseech him to aid them
in enterprises ranging from putting
perpetual motion machine on the mar
ket to establishing a Theosophist mis-
sion among the Fills. To all of these
propositions Mr.. Letter usually turns
a deaf ear, but last week he was the
recipient of request so unique in it's
character that he weakened and made
an answer in the affirmative. He was
seated in his Office at the time and as
it was just after luncheon he was in
very amiable frame of mind. A we'll
known broker came into the private
office and said after brief apology for
intruding: Joe, have a proposition
that may strike you as being rather
odd, but am going to put it to you just
the same. have a couple of country
grain dealers down in my Office who
have asked me if it could not be ar
ranged so that they could just come
up and take look at you as you sit in
your Office. They won't talk to you
and you need not say a word to them.
Just let them look at you. 1t will do
them a world of good to be able to go
back to their home town and tell their
neighbors that they saw you. Will you
do it?' We'll, that is an odd propo-
sition," replied Mr.. Letter, "but I sup
pose that it won't hurt me any to be
looked Mt, Bring them up." The
broker, with relieved expression on
his face, hurried to the elevator and
soon reappeared with two typical coun-
try wheat buyers in tow. The men
were ushered into Mr.. Letters outer
office and proceeded to crafty their
curiosity concerning the appearance of
the leader of the bulls by gazing at him
through a glass partition. In few
seconds they expressed their satisfac-
ton and retired while the object of
their curiosity turned again to his work
as if nothing had happened.

best to my purposes. The people who
owned the house were so nice to me
that when 1 finished my picture l
thought to repay them in part for their
courtesy by making for them sketch
of my ambitious canvas. For the sake
of variety, however, I drew in the fig
ure of an old man sitting in a big
chair and gazing abstractedly into the
fireplace. It was a fancy figure, pure
and simple, and drawn without a mo-
del, but the face belonged to the type
that one so often sees along the New
England coast. type that is unfor-
t"nate!y growing Iarer as the years
go by. But imagine my surprise when
/ came to present the sketch to my
friends, for they drew back from it as

admirable likeness of the old man, who
had died many years before l ever Wis

summoned in and every one of the peo-
pie who had known the old man recog-
nized the likeness without a moments
hesitation. They said that in every de-

Coming to this country 10 fast as

young wife of Carl ]. Gryl, who is
engaged in business as broker and in
surance agent at Is Bridge street, Pat

a few days ago while the groom was
IN Paterson and the bride in Amster-
Dam. Gryn's father is a well-to-do
broker in Amsterdam. The latter de-
sired that his son should follow in his
business, but the young man refused,
declaring that he intended to travel.
father and son quarreled, with the re-
suit that the latter left home. He was
then only Is years old. After two
years of rough life Gryn obtained a
position with the Netherlands en-
Dassy in London and while there was
discovered by Meindert Van Huystel,
merchant of Amsterdam, who told his
father of his whereabouts. He became
reconciled with his father and returned
to his home in Amsterdam, only to fall
deeply in love with Van Huystels
daughter. His attachment was recip-
rocated, but the parents would not con-
sent to an immediate marriage, as Miss
van Huystel was scarcely II years old.
Gryn again became enraged and left
home, coming to this country and
embarking in business with Eugene
Murray in Paterson. He received a
letter from Miss Van Huystel four
weeks ago, saying she had gained the
consent of both his and her parents
for their marriage and asked him to
name the day. Gryn had sworn when
he left home that he would never set
foot there again and he determined to
live up to his resolve. Miss Van Huy-
stel, however, wrote that her parents
were too aged to cross the ocean and
had declared that the marriage must
occur at home. and he was in a diem
ma until a lawyer friend suggested
marriage by proxy. Gryn empowered
William H. ]. Ten Henzel of Amster-
dam as his proxy. The official seal Of
the consulate in New York city was
affixed by William NJ. B. Grovenhorst,
vice consul, and the document was
forwarded to Amsterdam. Gryn re-
ceived a cablegram saying that Miss
Van Huystel had appeared with Ten
Henzel before Burgomaster Meinerz
and had been married. The bride add
ed that she intended taking a steamer
that day for this country. Gryn says
that when his bride arrives the re-
ligious wedding ceremony will be per-
formed in the Dutch Reformed church
