LUCK PUT A CHECK THROUGH.
Draft on Chance Which Saved ihs Fortune Of a
Chicago Financler.

Registered at one OF the Washington
hotels last week was well known
Chicago business man, who. upon
certain critical occasion for him dur
ing the FINANCIAL panic of 1898 won HIM
self out OF a bad hole by drawing upon
the Sultan of Turkey for $4,000 with
out ever having had anything more to
do with the Sultan Of Turkey than with
the Ahkoond Of Swat. IL was bit of
Brobdignagian gall on the part of the
Chicago man, and 1t went through. He
found himself on the verge OF a smash
one morning during that bad spell in
'93, and he had TO have at least $4,000
OF go to TO the waIi. He had borrowed
up TO the limit, and he didn't see any
way out One of his best friends in
Chicago was the cashier of one of the
greatest banks In this country, and to
this friend the troubled man went with
a supplication for the money necessary
to pull him through.
The cashier was sorry, but he could
not advance his friend any more money
without seriously jeopardizing his
standing and his position with the
bank,
But" he added, significantly, while

Ii was right here that the Chicago
man had his stroke of inspiration.
"All right" said he, and he sat down
and wrote draft on the Sultan of Tur-
key for $4,000. He knew that at that
time the sultan's financial agents were
negotiating big loan with agents in
all the big cities OF the world Including
Chicago, and he trusted to the incom-
petence of the Constantinople agents to
win him out when the craft reached
him. His trust was rightly placed
He got his $50 600. and inside OF three
days he was on his feet again and in
possession OF over ten times that sum!
But he let the draft take It's regular
course. When the draft reached Con-
stantlnople il puzzled the sultan's chief
financial agent. The agent didn't know
the name of the drawer of the draft,
uf course, having never seen that name
before, but he concluded that the draft
was somehow M another mixed up
with the transactions OF the sultan's
Chicago agent: moreover he knew that
Il wouldn't DO at all TO let any draft
be dishonored. as such a thing might
have n bad effect,in, the placing of the
big loan. 80 the draft was honored ana
the Chicago bank got its money by re-
turn OF exchange. The Chicago man
who had drawn the draft Immediately

draft had been honored. explaining the
whole thing. The sultan's CONSTANT

head closed about the matter after

ADMIRAL KlMBERLeYS APOLOGY.

fered to nurse the wounded. 1t is
really no new thing. for there has new
er been any trouble in Samoa when the
women OF the Mission have not been
foremost in this good work. Years ago
when there was much greater need OF
such services than there has been this
year, the most helpful of the Mission
nurses were Miss Large and Mrs. Lit

This complicated matters for Admiral
Kimberley. who was constantly meet
ing the two nurses. He remembered the
names. but no matter how hard he
might try to place them properly he
would assort them in the order OF COM
paratiye dimensions and address Miss
Large as Miss Little and Mrs. Little as
Mrs. Large. Miss Large had the saw
ing grace to appreciate the comedy OF
the situation, but Mrs. Little never
could get il through her head why there
was any reason short of American in
science TO women why Admiral KIM
berley should so generally mislay her
name. Al last one day she felt that she
could endure the studied insults no
longer and sought the admiral with the
intent to have IL out with him. because

And Mrs. Little told her friends that
