another factory had to be started at
Omaha.
Then the tea business began to de-
velop. When Lipton's success as
provision merchant became the talk OF
commercial circles in London, number
of metropolitan bankers who had loaned
money to certain Ceylon tea planters
went to the big merchant and invited
him to go into tea planting. They were
afraid of their investments and trem-
bled for the interest on the faraWay
loans they had made They thought
they might unload on Upton. They
suggested he buy the plantations on
which they had taken foreclosure pro-
ceedings. They swore there were mil
lions in it. They set Upton thinking.
But Upton did not decide at once.
He packed his valise and went to Cey-
Ion. He went over the plantations, no
one guessing who he was or the object
of his visit He liked the appearance
of those plantations very much. They
fitted into his general scheme of things.
He oabled to the London bankers, offer
ing them a very low figure for their
.plantations. Cant you do better?'
cabled back the bankers. Upton knew
the plantations were his at his own
figure.
That is how ''Lipton's Teas" became
bywerd throughout the world. He saw
how the ruinous dirt and waste of the
primitive Chinese method of preparing
and packing the leaf was losing money
for every tea planter in the east. He
put in machinery, clean and economical
affairs that allowed him to undersell
his rivals, and gave the workingman Of
England good tea to drink at most
reasonable figure.
In a few years the now notorious
Ernest Terah Hooley offered S12,500,000
for the Upton business. Upton declin-
ed with thanks. Instead Of selling out
he himself turned the business over to

STORIES OF ROSA BoNHEuR.

Here is one of the many stories
that are being told in Paris of the late
eccentric painter, Rosa Bonheur: -.--
After she had cut her long hair and
shortened her petticeats she. to the in
tense disgust of her father, brought
home one day a pair of trousers, Which
she resolutely put on in spite Of every
thing said by the other members of
the family. This attire proved later
on to be the most convenient for
her to go about with in the fields,
the slaughter houses, the village fairs
and various other places.
In spite of her. love for masculine
dress. however, Rosa was too much Of
an artist to admire it in other women,

their odorous bales, and he often said
to himself that when he was big he was
going to own great ships and send
cargoes of tea in them all over the
world But most of all he liked to see
the yachts that went up and down the
Clyde and said that some day he should
like to own the best and fastest yacht
in the world. Even when he became
a messenger boy in Glasgow station
cry house he often used to steal down
to the docks and watch the white sails
so up and down past the dirty shipping
that crowded the river front

earning shillings and 6 pence a week
used to say, Il shall be a rich man. 1
am going to have a yacht of my own.
1t will be the fastest yacht that was
ever made"
Then the messenger boy would start
out on his rounds through the great,
gloomy Scotch city. But he did not do

as most boys. He did not forget his
dream.
The boyish fancy took root in his
breast. He still said he was going to be
a rich man some day, owning great tea
vessels laden with fragrant chests.
Thirty-six years have passed since
the ragged little boy on the edge of a
Glasgow dock said that some day he
would be rich and own a yacht. What
has happened since that time?
Today the once ragged little Tommie
Upton has a fortune of $50, 600. At
vast warehouse docks in Colombo, Cey-
lon, lie fleets of vessels loading with
chests of fragrant tea-tea smelling just

ships among the docks of Glasgow. Those

Thirty-six years ago a ragged little
urchin used to sit on the busy docks
that fringe the River Clyde at Glasgow
He spoke with a brogue and had. few
friends among the wharf rats of the
city. So he used to sit on the edge OF
the docks and dream day dreams. With
eyes of bright Irish blue he used to
watch the merchantmen and the
schooners and the small sailing craft
going eternally back and forth. He
liked to watch them and the yachts
that went skimming back and forth
with broad, white wings.
The boys name was Tommie Upton.
He was also very fond of watching the
big tea vessels from China unloading
