In my opinion, LeConte was one Of the

Prof. Victor Chestnut, of the Depart

and relates many interesting stories about
that scientist and philosopher.
Two years ago at banquet given
LeConte in Germany by the faculty Of the
University of Heidelberg, LeConte made
the statement that whatever in his life
they found to honor had been achieved
since his forty-ninth year. All his studies

days during the week Just passed. Mr.
Niltsee was in johannesburg Just before
the jameson raid in 1896. He held an in
terest in several mines there. and so
sanguine were the members of the ILL
starred reform committee that the Boer
Republic was going to be overthrown
and a new Anglo-Saxon era ushered in
that they and the rich syndicates they
represented were anxious to absorb all
available mining property. Mr.. Wiltsee
was willing to sell out, and by the time
his former colleagues had landed in
gloriousiy in Jail at Pretoria he had ar
rived in New York with fortune OF a
quarter of a million. Later investments
in Colorado and Mexico have multiplied
his thousands.
Kruger is strange old man" said
Mr.. Wiltsee. HE understands English.
but refuses to speak it, saying that he
will not converse in a tongue in which
so much treachery has been couched. Jo-
hannesburg, you know, is virtually, and
always has been. an English city. The
Boer commissioner of streets as public
accommodation put up street signs with
the abbrcviation ST after each name.
Kruger heard of it and ordered him to go
over every sign and make them read

Clever
Financial Strategy.


man of singular reticenee, but he can
tell a good story when he is in the mood.
One Of his anecdotes relates to the time
when he was an obscure contractor. With
other contractors engaged in constructing
a right of way" for a Western railroad,
Mr.. Hill was stopping at cooperative
boarding house. Mary, the waitress. was
favorite with all the men. She was
neat. demure. and obliging.
One night as they sat around the stove
one Of the contractors startled his COM
panions by announcing that Mary was
going to be married.
"she has been a good girl" he went on.
"and 1 propose that we make up hand
some wedding present for her.
So saying he took off his hat, tossed a
couple of twenty-dollar pieces into it, and
passed it around. Everyone contributed
literally. When it was counted the sum
was found to amount to nearly $500.
The contractor who had made the an
nouncement was appointed a committee
of one to make the presentation OF the
wedding gift with the compliments and
esteem of the donors.
THE next day" says President Hill,
'he married the girl himself. 1t was
clever piece of financial strategy. and it
has often been a wonder to me why he
has not risen in the world"
