Humble Beginnings.
The first Vanderbilt ran a barg

The first Vanderbilt ran a barge.
Sir Thomas Upton, the man whose
yacht is to race with the American
boat for the cup, was the son of poor
parents and began life as cabin boy
on coasting boat.
John D. Rockefeller, as he followed
a plow in his boyhood days, had one
ambition and that was to join cir
Gus. Later in,lifs he got $50 month
as clerk. To-day he makes more
money in a minute than he earned in
a Whole year.
Fifty years ago Andrew Carnegie
was working for y cents day as II
bobbin boy in a mill. Then he got
three dollars a week as telegraph
boy in Pttsburg, and thought he was
rolling in luxury To-day he counts
his wealth by millions.
Everybody knows the story Of JAY
Gould and his mousetrap, which he
invented while he was a clerk in
country store. The profits from this
and from a lucky purchase of land
laid the foundation of the fortune of
500, 100000 he left.
John Jacob Astor, the founder of
the Astor family, had some cheap mu-
sical instruments sent him from abroad
and he sold them at a very good
profit. With the $1,000 he bought a
plot of ground on the Bowery, and it
increased in value until to-day ii rep
resents millions OF dollars.

Jerry went away from the window,
grumbling and mystifed.
After half an hour Of painful effort
at high desk provided for the pub
lie at one end Of the room, Jerry re-
turned to the window and handed in
this letter of advice" to the post

An Artificial Silver Mine.

In one corner Of the melting room
at the New Orleans mint is large
iron tank in which the newly cast sill
yer bars are dropped, Kissing, to cool
off. At the end of a hard days work
the surface of the water shows faint
rainbow-hued scum, like the me-
tallic luster of stagnant pools, seen
near a dye house. 1t comes in part
from microscopic fakes of silver that
have scaled off in the cooling. The
water, when changed, runs down a
pipe that terminates in the bottom of
cistern, which contains layer of
mud a couple of feet deep. AS the
water seeps up and through, the mud
acts as filter and catches the parti-
cles of precious metal, so in time it
becomes an artificial silver mine.
Once every quarter the stuff is scooped
out and passed through reduction
process. The result is silver brick,
worth maybe $50.
When it comes to money-making,
Uncle Sam can beat the world for
stinginess. The artificial silver mine
in the yard of the old mint premises
is only one of his numerous schemes
for checking waste. When the cast
ers raise their glowing ladies from the
melting pots shower of sparks fly
from the molten surface. They are
mostly incandescent PARTICLES Of car
bon, but among them are pin points
of silver, almost gaseous. Some fall
among the ashes and clinkers beneath
the furnaces, and when the fire boxes
are raked out at night the contents
are scrupulously preserved. Down be-
low, in the basement, is great re-
volving crusher that grinds the debris
into fine powder, and when enough
accumulates it is sold by sample to a
Northern smelter and treated like or
dinary ore. Nor is this all. Every
evening the floor of the melting room
is swept far more carefully than ever
a lady's parlOr and the sweepings are
preserved along with the ashes. Once
in three months or so the SCOT is
scraped out Of all the fues and Chin
neys and finds its way to the same re-
ceptacle. From the ashes, clinkers,
sweepings and SCOT Of the New Orleans
mint Uncle Sam derives larger In
come than the average bank president.
The crucibles used in melting are good
for about three charges; then they
are wheeled down to the basement,
crushed, and share the fate Of the
clinkers. The pores of their earthen
sides are full of virgin silver, and the

sHEPHERDsTOWN W. VA, THURSDAY, OCTOBER 49, 1899

Clarksburg, W. Va, which is quite a
military town. They had been hsv-
ing some exercises there that day over
the unveiling of one of the cannOns
captured from the Spanish during the
late war, and a number Of prominent
people were present from different
parts of the State. When the train
stopped I was in the smoker, and was
told that a delegation desired to see
me. I went forward and met a num-
Der of officers and other nice gentle
men, who assured me they were de-
lighted to see me. They asked me to
have smile with them, and I smiled.
The train only halted moment or
two, and we had no time for conver-
sation.
81 had made the acquaintance of a
gentleman on the train who lived in
that part of the country, and when
the delegation had left US and our
train was again in motion, l asked him
what all the ovation meant to plain
citizen of Texas, and l also asked him
who my callers might be.
He told me that among the num-
Der there were Mr.. Ran Stalnaker, a
prominent gold Democrat; Mr.. George
Bowers, United States Fish Commis-
sioner Mr.. Tom Davis, prominent
Republican of Grafton Mr.. White,
Internal Revenue Collector Mr..
Smith, an editor; Mr. L. S. G. Pitzer,
of Martinsburg, and Hon. Wesley At
kinson, Governor of West Virginia.
Why, they think you're the next
Speaker of the National House Of Rep
resentatlves, he told me.
a have figured it out that when l
sent the brakeman back to the con-
ductor with that sassy message at
Cincinnati, the conductor made bee
line to get my passes from the conduc-
tor on the sleeper to return them to
me. imagine that he was little
bit curious and slipped the passes out
of the envelope to see who l might be.
When he saw the name d. B. Hender-
son he evidently changed his mind
and concluded that the Baltimore and
Ohio Southwestern couldn't afford to
leave the Speaker Of the next Con-
gress. imagine that he told some
one along the route of the prominent
parsonage he had aboard, and that the
news got over the wires to Clarksburg,
causing me to receive a visit from the
prominent gentlemen there assembled.
"Of course, I appreciated the visit
and the drink, but l am more pleased
that my namesake in Iowa has made
a record which enabled me to get my
breakfast at Cincinnati. What's in a
name? g.? Well, there's whole lot in a
name sometimes.

THE MODERN SAINT.

No monkish garb he wears. no beads he tells.
Nor is immured in walls remote from strife;
But from his heart deep mercy ever wells;
He looks humanely forth on human life.
In place Of mssals or of altar dreams.
He cons the passioned book Of deeds and days;
Striving to cast the comforting sweet beams
OF charity on dark and noisome ways
Not hedged about by sacerdotal rule.
He walks fellow of the Scared and weak;
Liberal and wise his gifts: he goes school
To Justice; and he turns the other cheek.
He looks not holy; simple is his belief;
His creed. for mystic visions do not scan
His face shows lines cut there by others grief,
And in his eyes is love of brother-man.
Not self nor self-savation is his care:
He yearns to make the world SUMMER cline
To live in; and his mission everywhere
Is strangely like to Christ's in olden time.
No mediaeval mystery, no crowned.
Dim figure halo-ringed, uncanny bright;
modern saint A man who treads earth's ground
And ministers to men with all his might
RICHARD BURTON.
