ANoLo.AMERloAN. ROMANCE.

Two Uncles In the Uaited states Enrich
an Englishman - Need.
To few men IL It given to make a
fair competence, lose 1t, and suddenly
and without expectation ind two for
tunes thrown at their feet. That hhs
been the experience of Mr.. Joseph
Samuel Stadden Russell. At the be-
ginning Of this year he was employed
in the humble capacity of groom; to-
day he is in possession of q fortune of
E160.000, most OF it invested in free
hold property in New York and Pitts
burg. The story has most of those
elements Of romance with which the
popular imagination clothes the unex.
pected acquisition of wealth. AS in sc
many other cases, it is the rich uncle
in America-would there were more Of
them!-who has played the. part Of a
generous Providence. In Mr.. Russell's
case, however, there were two uncies,
but from neither did he entertain any
expectations Of an Inheritance. One
lived in Pittsburg, the other in New
York; one was his uncle on. his faith
er,s side. the; other was the brother OF
hisfather's second wife. Mr.. Russell
himself was born in London, within
the sound of Bow BELLS" hut he has
spent fully thirty years in the States.
Both his uncles went out there when
very young and very poor, but they
rapidly advanced and became rconsid-
cradle property-owners. Recently Mr..
Russell returned to this country and
started public house at Maidstone, at
the same time depositing all the mon
ey he had saved in America with Dunn
bells bank. When the bank failed he
lost everything, and at SO had to face
the world penniless. 1t was then that
he took place as groom, but he had
not been long in that situation when
the news came that his fathers broth
er had left him fortune, which was
originally stated to be G50,000-odd,
but in reality came to be something
more, nearly approaching 100000.
That, however, did not exhaust Mr..
Russell's luck. Only the other day he
received intimation from firm of So
liciotrs in New York that his uncle-in-
law had beQueathed to him a sum
which. with the previous windfall, put
MIN in possession of G160,000. It is an
extraordinary revolution in the for
tunes Of an unambitious man, and al
the more extraordinary, perhaps, be-
cause it was quite unexpected. Mr.
Russell is shrewd, level-headed Lon
doner, who is under no apprehension
that he will be tempted to squander
his fortune.-London Chronicle.

Monsieur Henri Barceaux was In
this country recently on his way home
from Paris to the South Sea Islands.
Though q native OF the French capital
II. Barceaux has little in common
with the Inhabitants Of any great city,
except the desire to make money and
plenty OF it. AT his island home in
Tahiti, In Paris and in New York, he
fs known as . dealer in pearls, which
he buys from the native pearl divers
and sells to the jewellers of the great
capitals.
NJ. Barceaux stopped OF in Chicago
for few days and made an excursion
up into Wisconsin to look into the
pearl fisheries OF the inland rivers and
creeks Of which he has heard so much.
Personally NJ. Barceaux looks least
Of all like the popular idea of a
Frenchman. He is o huge fellow,
more than six feet tall, and both his
hair and his beard are yellow. He
speaks English with only the slight
est accent. incidentally he told inter-
esting things about the brown skinned
divers who bring up the pearls-bear-
ing bfvalves from the bottom of the
South Pacific.
LAS I suppose everybody knows"
he said to a reporter in Chicago,
pearls are now the most fashionable
and popular of jewels and have i'm
mensely increased in value within q
few years. Also believe they are
yearly growing harder to get, SO that
the increase in price is perhaps nat
ural.

Prof. w. e. Henry, dean Of the college Of

careful study of all the conditions prevail

Of America. First Of all, there is that
prime requisite for fine butter and CHI se:e.

abundance of wholesome stock foods. In

what might be called an ideal Christ

There was a grabbed old Scotsman
who came out to the islands few
years ago to buy pearls. He thought
1T legitimate to take advantage of the
natives In any way he could and
once he swindled native chief out of
more than half the value Of a consid-
cradle collection of pearls. The chief
said nothing, but waited his opportun-
1ty. Finally, one day the Scotsman
wanted to be rowed over to neigh
boring island and could find nobody
to make the trip but the old chief,
who at once. when asked, agreed to-
take him over in his canoe. Once out
on the water the chief freed his mind,
telling the Scotsman that he knew he
had been defrauded and saying that
q man who came from Christian
country ought not to stoop to rob q

angry and abused the native shame
