"A
Law Case

The daily papers not long ago
reported a trial case where a man
sued a medicine concern which had
offered a hundred dollars for a
case their remedy could not cure,
II seems that the man had not
been cured, though he had taken
the remedy. The defence was
that he had not taken the medicine
long enough. He did not get his
hundred dollars.
We allude to this because Vinol
does not give a slippery guarantee.

wealth has iong ago been succeeded
by better ways Of making barrels IN
leakable, but the idea given Hopper
by the tramp was the means of Sc
curing for him the large fortune he
possessed. After retiring from active
business life Hopper offered to make
the tramp rich, and although a re-
ward of $4,000 was offered for the
tramp's appearance, none ever came
TO claim the money nor has anything
ever been heard Of the tramp.
Out of gratitude to this one tramp.

STANDS the home Of tie late MilhOn-
airs George ". Hopper. The house Il
surrounded by spacious grounds and
~passsrs-by are given the impression
at once that here is health and .
pleasant home. But underneath eli,
this house furnishes q story that Is
not generally known to the public.
Years ago George W. Hopper was
3 poor young man. He received but
Nttle schooling and his education was
very limited. In early youth he be-
came identified with the Standard Oil
company, being given the manage
ment of the department where bar
Tels were painted before they were
filed with oil. Though the barrels
were thoroughly painted on the out
side, the oil would soak through
them and in a short time the paint
would peel off and allow the oil to
seep out. The company was consid-
erably hampered in this way and
many were the experiments tried to
alleviate the difficulty, but without
success.
One day while Hopper was ponder
ing over the question a tramp walked
up, and, hearing Hopper lament that
the barrels could not be painted SO
they would hold oil, he said:
"Il tell you how to fix them. Fill
them with water and then paint
them. When they are dry pour out
the water and the water in the wood
viii stay in and prevent the oil from
soaking through and cutting the
paint"
Rather dubious Of the success of
the tramp's suggestion, Hopper tried
Il and the scheme worked successfuI-
~. The advancement and royalties
Hopper received from this idea soon
resulted in wealth and when he died
q few years ago his fortune was es-
ttmated at from 100000 to $780,
900. Hopper's stepping stone to
