TRAMP'S IDEA MADE RICHES.
Destitute Waudcrer SUGGESTED
Simple Plan tO Prevent Oil Bar
rcls from LeakinH.

A few miles west of Geneva. o.,
stands the home of the late Million
aire George w. Hopper. The house is
surrounded by spacious grounds and
rassers-by are given the impression
at once that here is health and n
pleasant home. But underneath all,
this house furnishes story that is
! not generally known to the public.
Years ago George w. Hopper was
a poor young man. He received but
! little 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
rels 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
irg over the question tramp walked
up. and, hearing Hopper lament that
the barrels could not be painted so
they would hold oil. he said:
iii tell you how to fix them. Fill
them with water and then paint
them. When they are dry pour out
he water and the water in the wood
will 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 successful
iy. The advancement and royalties
Hopper received from this idea soon
resulted in wealth and when he died
few years ago his fortune was es-
tti,nated at from $2,OOO,OO to $780,
eco. Hopper's stepping stone to
wealth has long ago been succeeded
by better ways of making barrels un-
leakable, but-the idea given Hopper
by thes 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 althc;.gil a.re-.
ward of $4,000 was offer~t! Sr the

when they gradually form themselves
;n.o a compact mass, which is now cut
up into pieces several inches square.
When these become tibrous and oily,
they are placed in mill and ground,
then into cylinders lined with cheese
cloth. and pressed for about 20 hours
until solid. The cheeses are then
placed in Il curing-house where they
remain for several months, or until
they acquire the desired ripeness and
flavor. This process as described may
seem very simple. but the dairymen
do not find it SO: for they have con-
stantly to guard against hostile bae-
terra which may assail the material
from the time it is poured into the

While trying to cope with these, he
must exercise great care in order that
friendly germs (without whose serv-
ices he could have no good chees may
